WB ARE SEVEN.
A BALLAD.
A —o—
— child, dear brother JIM,
That lightly draws it, breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
, What fobuld it know of death,
I met a little cottage girl,
She was eight years old She said.
Her hair was thick with many a curl.
That clutter'd round her head.
She had a rustic woodland air,
And (he was wildly clad ;
Her eyes were fair and very fair—.
Her beauty makes me glad.
" Sifters and brothers little maid,
" How many may yeu be ?"
* How many ? seven it )al)," she said,
And wondering look'd at me.
, And where are they, I pray you tell !"
She answered " seven are we,
And two of us at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea.
Two of us ib the church yard lie,
My lifter, and my brother,
And ip the church yard cottage,!
Dwell near them with my mother."
* You fay that two at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea,
Yet you are seven; I pray you tell,
Sweet maid, how this may be ?"
Then did the little maid reply,
" Seven boys and girls are we:
Two of us in the church yard lie.
Beneath the church yard tree."
'"You run about, my little maid,
Your limbs they are alive ;
H two are in the church yard laid,
Then ye are only five."
* Their graves are green, they may be seen,"
The little maid replied,
"Twelve Heps or more from my mother's door,
And they are fide by fide.
My flockings there 1 often knit,
My ±erchiefs there 1 hem;
And there upon the ground 1 fit —
I fit and ling to them.
And often after sun-set, Sir,
When it is light and fair,
I take my little porringer,
And eat my [upper there.
The firft that died, was little Jan#,
, In bed fy mournipg lay,
Till God releas'd her from her pain,
And then she went away.
So in the churchyard she was laid,
And all the Summer dry.
Together round her grave ws play 'd,
My brother Joan and 1.
And When the ground was white with fnow a
And I could run and Hide,
My brother John was forc'd to go,
And he li^by her tide.''
“ How many are you then fiid I,
If they two are in Heaven I"
The little maiden did reply,
“ O matter! we are seven,"
0 But ,hey are dead; tliofc two are dead ;
" Their spirits arc in Heaven !"
Twas throwing words away, for still
The little maid would have her will,
'And laid, “ Nay, we are even !"

CARDINAL RICHLIEU was a native of
France, and born in the yfur 1585. He
was a great favorite of the King, and was ad
vanced by him to be his firft Minifier of State.
Betog a man of prodigious capacity, and of a
refill and insatiable ambition, he formed to
himfeif vast designs ; and this rendered his life
a fcries of agitations and inquietudes. But after
he had given law to all Europe for many years,
and had arrived at the cool and rctrofpe&ive
period, he confined to old Peter de Moulin,
ffee famous French Proteflant, that—" being
orced upon many irregularities, by that which
they call reason of state, he could not tell bow
to fatisfy his conscience for several things; and
therefore had many temptations to doubt and
dilbelk ve a God, another world, and the im
mortality of the foul, thereby to relieve his
mind from any disquiet, but in vain: so strong,
(he laid)“ was the notion of God on his foul,
so clear the impression of ftm upon the frame
of the world, so unanimous the consent of man
kind, so powerful the convictions of his own
eonfeience, that he could not but taste the pow
er of the world to come—and so live, as one
that must die £ and so die, as one that must
live for ever."
The Solemn state of his mind being observed
by one who came to fee him, he was alked,
why he was so fad? to which he replied;—
“ The foul is a Serious thing; it mud be either
fad here, for a moment, or be fad for ever,"

to accomplish this purpose the protestor mgde
