THE MOTHERS LAMENT.
ny BERNARD BARTON


Pale and cold is the cheek that my kisses oft pressd
And quenchd is the beam of that brghtsparklng eye:
Forthc soul, which lis innocent glances confessed,
Has flown to its God and its Father on high.
No more shall the accents, whose were dear
Than the sweetest of sounds even music can make,
In notes full oftendeness fall on my ear;
If catch them in dreams, all is still when wake!
No the gay smiles that those features displayd
Shall tiansiently light up their mirth in mine
Yet though these and much more, be coyer in shade
must not, cannot, and dare not repne.
However enchantingly Aattering and fair,
Were the hopes. hat for thee, had venurd to build
Can fail, finite mortal presume to declare
That the future those hopes would have fuflPd!
In the wordthou hast left, there is much to allure
The most innocent spirit from virtue and peace.
Iads thou lv'd would thy have been equally pure,
Andguieless, and happy, in ages increase I
Temptation, or sooner, later, had found thee:
Perhaps ad seduc'd hee from pathways oflight
Tllthe dark coudsof vice. gat'ring goomiy round thee
had enwrspt thee forever in horror and night.
But no7c in The lGveiest bloom of the soul,
While thy heart yet pangless, and true, and unsanl
Ere the word one vain wish by its witcheries stole,
What it could not confer, thou for ever hast gain'd
Like dew drop, kissd oAby the suns morning beam,
Abef, but beauteous existence was given;
Thy soul seem'd to come down to earth, in dream,
And only to wake when assembled to heaven'

Not to acknowledge the greatness and wisdom Of

much the power of God, as did the creation OF the
first man from the dust Of the earth Our own in

ANSWER.

DEAR SIR The. bet just decided was
made under circumstances of excite
ment, which might, in some measure,
apologize for its rashnfss,* but would
scarcely Justify it as an example, and
l trust the part took in it will not be
considered as proof of my intention to
become professional patron of sport
ing on so extensive scale-for myself,
then; I must decline your offer. For
the gentlemen, who, with me, backed
Eclipse, their confidence in his SUI
periority, I may, say is not in the least
but even they do not h<ste
Ito believe that old age and hard e
may one day accomplish, what 49,
and fleetnes, directed by consummaa1
skill, has hitherto accomplished. For Ms
Van Ranst, / answer, that he owes 1t to
the association, who have soconiidently
supported him, to the state at large, who
have felt and expressed SO much inter-
est in his. success, and to himslf as a
man, not totally Invested of feeling,
never, on any consideration, to risque
the life. or reputation of the noble ami
NAL, whose generous and almost in.
credible exertions have gained for the
North so signal a victory, and for HIM
self, such well-esrned and never faiiiug
renown. l remain, sir, your mostobe-
'dient servant.

at first like liIy-just tinged, but af-

around looked as fragile as herself-Sum-

was around her and them, and the Win
ter himself was coming. He came ala
most before his time, cold and-remorse-
less, and she shrank-and withered
and died. The rose blooms, and the~
myrtles lived on little longer ! but
the crimson beauty of her cheeks faded
forever
