JAMES CAMPBELL. Ej'r. Oct. 20th 1803 MOUNT VERNON, OHIO, Wealth of the Poets. Tho following poetic article, wo extract from tho Cincinnati Commercial of July 27. As will be seen, it is from the pen ol our good friend E. S. S. Rouse, Esq., of thig city. Wo "Ciieerlully recommend its porusal to the lov ers of good poetry. It not only shows that some things can be done as well as others, but that there are tome men in Mt. Vernon, as well as other places, who can writo poetry. We f(jel proud of our city, our county, our divines, our legal men, our political men, our medical men, our merchant men, and last, but qot least, our literary mon: i. "Are not all poets Poor?" haJh been enquired; I own 'tis true, but yet no cause for scorn: It is co personal fault to be Inspired, And lisp ia numbers from life's early morn. Though poor in puno, and possibly unnlmirod, An heir to ufflueuco. Is the poet, born, His mind his kingdom is, bis pow'r his throne: His nine of wealth, to tho lucrous world nsknown. H. Diamonds ho hath, therein, flashing and bright, " 'th pearls exceeding raro, of worth untold: Rubies, all glowing with inoffable light, And gems of datsling sheon, and burnish'd gold, No fabled monaroh e'er displayed a sight Richor, ormore magnificent to behold; Butdisragnrdfulof show and ostentation, His gems ho useth whene'er thcro'i fit occasion. III. The world knows not- appreciates not their worth; He views it folly, casting pearls to swine, The eaithly, valukg but the thing of oarth, Seldom aspire to thoaicsor thoughts divine. He holds oonvorso w,ith souls of jtontlorbirth, And bids them welcome to his flaming mine. Thorc, similar fires, congonial bosoms glow, flow. And thoughts, and themes, and souls in nnlson iv. . His, the host sense of the fit nnd suitable, Ilis, the pure heart, capacitous and broad; His, the bost cause to begratoful and dutiful, no best can rise above this earthly sod The best conceive of thosublimo and beautiful, And bost enjoy the wondrous works of God. nis tho warm glow of chaste, pootio sonso, Without which, all is quackery nnd protease. V. . His montal soil pnek'd with imagination, Ten thousand flowors nf twice ton thousand hues, (Th' exhurbnnco of its high prolificatlon,) Burst to fresh life, glittoring with pearly dows. Tho world's adornment and rejuvenation, Where tasto may revel, and refinement choose. What if tho world withhold oorrodingtroasuroT IIo hath a fountain of ondaring pleasure. ........ vi. Imagination! vast exhaustless store! Prolific source of countless, bountiful things! Kaleidoscope, that changes evermore, And mystic soul-harp of a thousnnd strings! Thy tocming realms fain would the bard explore, Borno as on buoyant plumes of angel's wings; Enjoy tho marvelous scones of thy croation, Thy nntcld charms of endloss variegation. VII. Wearied of oarth and its diurnal scenes, Thou springs't aloft, through fields of liquid air, Pursuest the flying storm that intervenes, Riding tho swift-winged lightning- chain afar, Throagh the blue heavens, above earth's misty sareens, Or with Aeolus mount's! th' dread whirlwind's car, Sweep'st the scared lains, and burl'st th' ntrocted trees; Strewing colossal rocks with Titan case! VIII. Unnuiubor'd soenos bedeck thy wiiiard sphere, Of gentler, milder, lorolier, commoner mien; Tho rich adornments of the vary ing year; Trees, flowers, rivulets, fields of vivid green. Mountains, and lesser hills, with lakelets olear, And bubbling springs, onliveningall thescono, Refreshing showers, and pearly morning dows, Thine are they all; and thou my teeming mass. E. S. S. ROUSE. Mt. Vernon, Ohio, June 28th, 1653. . For tho Republican. Origin of the Dew. Whoa tho young earth walked, in hor beauty bright, In her joyous (lanco, 'mid the gloaming light, When her form was vailed in its misty blue, And tho myriad stars, that glancing through, Were smiling, in brooks, on hergrassy breast, n hero tho roses waved'o'er tho wild bird's nost: I asked of tho dcw,wherc its home was then, Itsrainbow hues, and its silvery sheen;-Have you been, since Creations early morn, Thus gemming the rose, the willow, and thorn; Did you seocueh glittering, burning world, Ere far into fathomless space 'twas hurled; Or the girdle of trembling, gtowing stars, Encircling this beautiful world of ours? Did you watch the comets, as one by one, Tn their poorlesshoauty, wontsweopingoa. To the burning sun, as he slowly rolled, 'Mid crimson, and purple, and snow, and gold, 'Till the moon, in her starry robe of night, Dimmed tho last faint gleam, of his fading tigV, Then laughed, at the ocean's foaming crest; And blushed at her imngo en his breast? O.say, did you hear, when tho birds awoke, When their thrilling mnsie the silence broke, Did you hoar the songs, when th stars first sung; And the shout of tho "Sons of God," that rung Till the heavens gave back an Echo deep; That roused a world from iu dreamless sleep? Did yon see "God's image," when1 ret he stood, 'Mid all that was beautiful grand and good? 'Twas trembling on all the flowers around; Falling bright and glistening, to the ground; And it answerod me thus : "I was far away; Icame to this earth, ones gloomy day. When man, from his Eden-hem, was drives. Guilty, ashamed, in the eyes of heavon, Ther was mourning deep; and tho mora'i pale faco, Was bathed in tears o'er a fallen race." . EVELINA. "No Man Livoth nnto Himself." God has written on tho flowers that sweet en the airupoa the breeze that rocks the flowers upon the steiBuyoo. tbt rain-drops that r.fresh the spring of moss that liflfl hs : bead in th desert apon ks iff chambers, upon very poncilad sbvet that sleeps in th caverns of th deep, no less than upon the mighty Sun that warms and cheers millions of creatures which live in its light upon all bis works he bu written, "Noni livetb for himself." " TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER THE SNOW STORM, OR A NIGHT ON THE LAKE. ' BT CI.ABa ACCUSTA. Evening sot in cold and grey. Until noon the sky had been cloar ; but as the sun do-sconded, a thick, leaden hozo had obscured his sickly light, and evory appearance gave promise of the coldest night of an unusually cold season. Tho up train on lh C Road was dotained by tho immenso drifts of snow, which had formed upon tho rails ; and it was past nino o'clock when tho puQ'ing lo-comotiTO came slowly and laboriously up to tho depot at A , the Northern terminus of the route. As is usual in tho country, as woll as in places moro thickly settled, quite o little company had assembled at tho principal room ol' tho building, to talk over the sovoro woather and discuss the probability of the non-arrival ol the train that night, With the first sound of the ominous whistle, tho narrow door of the depot was crouded with anxious heads, each trying to pierce farther into tho dark than his neighbor. The usual varioty of pas sengers alighted ; each one was anxious about their baggage, and each ono particularly certain that it was just tbo placo where the freight mavtor protested it was not ; but as it is with only one of the motloy crew that we hare to do, wo will pass the oihors silently by. She was a young lady, our hcroino and was dressed with extreme elegance. Springing hastily to tho platform, scarcely touching tin hand of the conductor, sho gazed anxiously around her for a moment, and then made her way to the window of tho officii, which was pushed back to allow the official wi hin to receive tho oxpre.M baxus, and separata the mails. Tho man startled as her low, musical voice fell on his cars. "Can you tell mo tho distance to Wolf- boro?'' "Twelve miles, ma'am; and no passage Ihoro for five days ; roads completely blocked up!" and then was turning to go away. Sho put out her hand to stay him. "Uo passage?" it cannot be 1 I must bo in W. within four hours, sir. My mother is dying there!" "Sorry very sorry, Indeed, but it is an ut ter imnocoiUUity. tn think nf lining Biuh k. thing! Why ma'am tho thermometer stands 10 dogreos below zero this very minute, and it will still bo lower before midnight" "I know the cold is intonso ; I dare say the way ts replete with danger ; but my mother the mother that brought mo into existence is dying there and I must go to her!" Tho voice of the young girl bocamo ' choked and broken as sho ceased speaking. "It is a hard case, I must admit ; but it's no uso of&tlompting lo get to Wolfsbsro tonight ; the coach road is as impossible as the Alps, and tbo only track is across the lake ; but neither man nor beast could live on that bleak routo half tho distance. I'm sorry, ma'am, but I only speak the truth." j The pale See of tho young lady blanchod still paler, but her voice was firm as ever. "Cold and perilous though it be, I must go to my mother. Wero I sick she would move heaven and earth but she would stand by my bedside. I cannot lot hor die and I so very noar her, and yot not in her presence! I must go if I go on foot, and alone. "Rash girl! it would bo no better than suicide to attempt the passage of Winnipiseogeo on such a night as this, oven with a strong horse and experienced guide ; and such cannot bo found, who will bravo the horrors of such a night for lovo nor money." "Lidy, I will go with you!" and tho crowd parted before a tall, finely-formed young man who came hastily to tho side of the young girl. ' I am unknown to yon, and my stati on in life is hutnblo ; but if you will trust tno the confidenco shall not bo misplaced." lie removed Lis cap from his hca 1 and stood erect and dignified beforo her a strikingly handsome youth, clad in a rough garb of grej-. Thorc wasa fire of lofty spirit burning in his deep hazel eyes, and around liU classically curved lips dwelt an expression half stent, half tender. The clear blue eyes of tho lady met his fixed yet respectful gaze searching!)- she put her hand in his. ' Gi;d bless you, sir! Thero is ono true heart in New Ilatnpshiro. I will trust you sir" An expression of pride and gratitude swept over, the young man's face, and bonding his head low boforo, said"In half an hour I will return for you," and with a firm cloa'ie step he left the depot. Tbo young ldy dropped into a scat by the fire, and covering her (ace with her hands she seemed lost in painful reverie. The listless hangers-on about tho place gathered together in a little knot before ihe offico windw; there was a nc w subject to discuss . "Fool enough, is Will Argcnscn, to undertake the crossing of the lake to-night! llo'l! be frozen stiff," exclaimed an old- man, evidently the oraclo of the company. 1 "And the gal? it's a shamo, though, for she's such a sweet lookin' criltoi! Heaven pity and take cant of her, forslio'U need somebody's ears beforo the night is half through!"

Uo knows very inch of lie Winnte as well as I know the way to mill-and his horse is a powerful deal more intelligent than many human folks anyhow." "Argensen will do well enough if there aint a squall, but it strikes iso Ihe sky looks rath er hazy, and depend upon it tliii lull aint for nothing!" said tho fourth, peering anxiously out into tho darkness, "and if thero should bo a sqnall-a regular white eye lhen,"ar,d tho speaker's involuntary muddor ended the sentence. Tho men drew closer together as if for mutual protection.and thero wasa sileoce fur few moments, broken at last by tho man who had first spoken. "Only last winter, poor Henry Blocchor was frozen to death on tho shore of Kattle- snake Island; and then just a week afterwards, poor Cap'n Deor been on the lako all hi lifetime got bewildered in a squall and died out thero all alono in tho dark and cold, and his folks aottin'up till day light'oxpectin' him! O! it was awful, dreadful to think of, but uoiuing to wnai u wouiu be H a woman a, young, tendor beautiful woman!" a tear not tho hardy face of the old mountaineer, and he turned to dry it on his coarse handkerchief.At this moment tho brisk jingle of sleigh-bells was heard nt tho door, and bsfora the ca-gro listeners could spring forward to open it upon tho new comer, Will Argensen entcreJi wrapped in abuff.ilo robe. "I am ready to attend you lo Wolfboro, if you still think of going," he said, addressing the lady. She arose quickly at the sound of his voice, and accepting Ihe lare blanket which tho ticket-master kindly offered her as a furthor protection against tho inclement weather, sho followed the conductor out in the dark, piercing night, and was lifted into sleigh which waited them. Avgenscn wrapped tho robe closely around hnr, and attaching the glass lantern which he carried in his hand to the front part of the cutter, lie sprang in. The horse was a large, powerful built animal of a dark iron grey color, and his fiery cyes,as woll as his long slendur neck, showed him spirited as well as strong. Tho cagor crowd loft their warm quarters by tho inside stovo, and gathered round the sleigh and its occupants somo expostulating with them for venturing out on such a night others wishing them GoU-spoed. and amid t 'O murmured acclamation they drove off. Haifa mile on terra-firiiw, and tho feet the horse rang shoip a..d clear on tho solid icool tho Winnipiseogoe. The summit of he tall blue mountains which rose on cither side of our travelers were hid in uupenctrub!0 mist, n.id tho light wind which blow was in- sumcietivxo uieaK tip ma murity. cwua. ikt filled tho air. Little or no conversation passed bjtweon tho two, so rccontly thrown togolher. Ar- gensen was occupied with thoughts of the perilous undertaking beforu him; the lady with sad images of hr dying motherdying with out a kiss from her only child to smooth the dark void between time and eternity. With an anxious eyo the young mountaineer .scanned tho thickening air, and tbo terrible tho't would flit ocdss his brain "what if the squall should rise?" ' Nearly four miles of tho journoy was passed over in safety. They had reached the dreariest part of the road, and darkness bo camo almojt palpable. Mountains as bluck as Erebus, completely walled in tho shining track of ice, and by tho pitching of tho cultcr they knew that drifts of snow and bilges of ice obstructed tho way. The wind steadily increased, and cut tho faco liko sharp iticles. The breath of our travelers congealod almost beforo it loft their bodies, and the dark sidesoj thehorso were covered with feathery fro3t. The cold became intonss, penetrating the thick buffalo skins as if they had b;en mere cobwel)3, and the delicate frame of tho young girl was chilled through. Bravely she suppressed the deadly shivers that involuntarily stolo ovor her, but Argcnsen felt tho effort, and drawing his arm around her, ho said in a low and earnest tono, "Lady.we are strangers, but it is no time for ceremony when ono is freezing. Sit as c ose to mo as possible, if you can, and lay your head, upon my breast. Tho wind is rising to a gale, and tho squalls will be upon us er long!" With ono powerful hand bo guided the horso; with tho olhcr hand be held tn his side the trembling form of his comp mion; nnd the noble grey, as if feeling that everything depended upon their reaching the end of lluii journey before the In-iAh g of the tquull ove tiicir liiad.s,boro bravely on. In vain! in v.iin! The mad wind bore al ns tne ebon clouds with the swiftness o 'ighlriing, and scarcely moro than firs mile of (ho way wore pic.sjd .-a it burst upon them in all its fury. The dreaded "whito eye" enveloped them-Hail and minute particles of frozen snow, in thick continuous sheets, blinded the eyes of the bravo Argonson and shut out the dm overarching sky. Tho horse drew uu under tho lee of a wooded sls.nd, and could bj induced to go no farllivr. Argenson clasped both arms around his paralyzed companion, and i waito4 the progrcss of the storm. Heavily she leaned upon his shoulder, and at length tho fatal truth rushed. upon Kim with appalling furco the sleep that invariably pro- cedes death by fircxing was upon her. He sprang up wildly. ' 'Fur the lovo of heaven awake! T.ouse yourself1. To sleep is death'." A faint moan was the 'only 'response. Ue toro off th buffalo roU'i whwb enveloped her, and vigorously chafed her cold hands and brethedupon her rosy lips For a whil h feared ho held only death ia bis srmev but at last by tho dim light of tbs lantorn, ho saw a flush steal ovor bor faco. and bor eyelids slowly nnclo.scd. - ' "Is it my mother holding me?" , She said drearuingly! thin, as if remember iog all, she drew bersolf away from Iho arms 'is nothing liko a cousin -a young. gty,- benu-that supported her, A rg"non soothed and tilnl witch ofa cousin. 2, IS5S. oncouraged her, until the storm bruko nnd tho clouds. swept away. A few faint stars shono through tho billows of vapor, nnd like sngcl's eyes, looked down upon tho wild desert of snow. Two hours they waited hero, ere tho noble horse could be uade to pursuo ' ins wny. w ith more than brute instinct, h knew tho dangers of tho way in the thick darkness and storm, and rcft std to subject his master to such great pei il. As tho w ind sank to rest and tho sky Lo-1 enmo clear once more, our travellers went on and after an hour's swift trot they arrived ! safely at Wolfboro. The ni'ccs-ni v innuii U-.-t ' being made regarding the whereabouts of the young lady's mother, Argonson diova to tho bouso specified, nnd yielding to the urgent solicitations' of his fellow voyager, he went in with her. Tho first question of tho afflicted girl was aiisw.-rcd in such a manner that the warm blood flushed over her check nnd brow, and tho fervent "thank Ood I" burst from her lips. "Mrs. Huntirgdon is better, much better,' said the lady whom M ss Huntingdon addressed as "aunt," and Julia fur lliut was the name of her who had put to such trial tho courage of William Arponsenjdvanced to wards him, and lay'nz both hands on lii,sho burst into a fl o I of tears. Ho took both tho hand-i ani pies-cd them to bis lips It was all tho reward he aaked all sho souitht to give.
