THE dRAVES OF A HOUSEHOLD.
( From the New Monthly Magazine. )
They grew in beauty, side by side,
They fill'd one house with glee—
Their graves are !leveed far and wide,
By mount, and stream, and sea I
The same fond mother bent at night
O'er each fair sleeping brow,
She had each folded flower in sight—
Where are those dreamers now ?
One, midst the forests of the west
By a dark stream is laid ;
The Indian knows his place of rest,
Far in the cedar shade.
. The sea, the blue lone sea, hath one,
Ile lies where pearls lie deep ;
He was the lov'd of all, yet none
O'er his low bed may weep.

One sleeps where southern vines are drtss'd
Above the noble slain,
He wrapt his colours round his breast,
On a blood-red field of Spain.
And one—o'er her the myrtle showers
Its leaves, by soft winds fann'd,
She faded 'midst Italian flowers,
The last of that bright band.
And parted thus, they rest who play'd
Beneath the same green tree,
Whose vices mingled as they pray'd
Around one parent knee !
They that with smiles lit up the hall,
And cheer'd with song the hearth—
Alas for love, if thou wert
And nought beyond, on earth !

Du. ItATCLIFFE.—One evening as this excen-
tric Physician was enjoying his bottle at a tavern,
a Gentleman came in haste and almost breath-
less, requesting he would come quickly to his
wife who lay at the point of death. " Not till
I have finished my bottle, however," said the
Doctor. The Gentleman happening to be strong
and athletic, finding entreaties useless, snatched
up the Doctor and carried him off. Themoment
lie set down his burthen, the enraged Doctor said
emphatically to him, " Now, you rascal, I'll
cure your wife in revenge." And he proved as
good as his word.

FATAL EFFECTS OF GAMlNG.—Another in-
stance has just occurred. The son of a respect-
able merchant, in Liverpool, was sent hither
by his father, with a power of attorney, to
receive a very considerable sum of money. Hav-
ing accomplished the object of his journey, the
young man was induced to prolong his stay in the
metropolis, as it was his first visit and all was new
to him, and imprudently formed an acquaintance
with one of those well dressed swindlers, who
are ever on the watch to entrap the ignorant and
unnal y. The natural consequences followed,
dissipation and pleasure led to expence, and the
money he had received was broken in upon ;
then the gaming house was proposed to
restore the sum wasted, when the first night
success attended the unhappy victim, but the
second lk.ft him without a shilling. In despair
he tried to enlist for India, but was rejected
as under size, then he retired to an obscure
lodging in Oxford-road, where he subsisted by
selling his clothes, &c. and at last his destitution
and sickness was supported by the kindness
and charity of his landlord. He refused to tell his
father's name, till at length won by the benevolent
attentions of some religious persons belonging
to the Missionary institutions, he informed them
respecting his friends. The father was written to,
and he intantly started from Liverpool, having
already suffered greatly from anxiety at the
unaccountable absence of his son, and his total
silence, and merely arrived in time to see him
expired, for the sudden shock, and the effort the
unhappy young man made to raise himself in bed
to throw himself before his father, were too much
for his exhausted frame. The grieved and af-
flicted father, overcome by the loss and creel
fate of his beloved son, sunk under the blow,
and was himself a corpse and consigned to the
!narrow house a few weeks afterwards.
