And he bids me no longer in solitude grieve,
For he will tarry awhile.'
ssSweet mad he is dead,
In the earth rests his head.'
cob no, no; he lives, and loves me
"He lives, tho his cheek is more pale than ofyore,
And the light of his bright eye is gone,
And when his wan fingers my brow traverse DER,
They are cold-they are cold as the stone"
Good help thee, sweet maid
In the tomb he is lad''

Not long did that fair maiden mourn for her love-
She soon slept in death by his side;
Yet it's said that when night hangs her banner above
Her spirit is oft seen to glide
Where the willow trees grow,
While she still says, =" No, no,
Oh no. no; he lives, and loves me -

1t is very common opinion, that when
the Jews are converted he Millennium
will commence, and the world hasten ra
pidly to its close. Such, it would APP
pear, was the impression of a certain old
lady, when finding fault with her daugh-
ter for attending meeting in behalf Of
the Society for promoting Christianity
among the Jews. "What is this you
have been aboet now" said she, !" Con-
verting the Jews! if you go on at this
rate, the word will be at an end before
we know w'1.t we are about"

FOR THE GARLAND.

70 Friend, on her eaving Harp9s-Fe,yy
Adieu, dearest F-s, and when to your eye
The high-crestcd rocks doth but dimly appear,
BY distance divided-ah then give a sigh
To the friend who still fondly remembers you here.
That sigh, dearest F--s, from friendship ask,
IT'S the test Of affection that gows in the breast
That feeling which wears not hypocrisy's mask,
That's felt in the heart, but cannot be expressed
When mem'ry shall paint the sweet moments that
flew,
BY the charms of society fastened away
When shard every innocent pleasure with you,
The thought shall sadly soft pleasure convey.
With you have WANDERED meath H's green shade
With you Pve assembled the mountains rough
side
Have viewed the descent of the falling cascade,
And all the variety nature supplied.
Wheni fancy you trace the gay scenes with delight,
o, remember feel their sweet influence too;
And then in the shade your picture unite
The form of friend who thinks often of YOU

prescribed. The following day her friends
came into the village in search OF her,
and she was restored to them amidst
tears of JOY and gratitude. 1t appears
that her husband was naval officer, who
fell in battle at the storming of Algiers
under Lord Exmouth, and that he was
peculiarly attached TO the little island
near which she had been discovered, and
where she often accompanied him during
his lifetime on parties of pleasure. She
was under the care Of friends, but had in
The dead Of nj ght contrived to elude their

A Jeu-de-mots in the popular Comedy
Of "Pride shall have Fall" has been
much admired; it is the answer Of Tor

his wardrobe, which he refuses, saying,
" My clothes shall sit yet lighter on me

The Hussars. The following, however,
if not the better, is at least the more orr

what was called the Coalition Ministry,
Mr.. Erskine was appointed to succeed
Mr.. Dundas afterwards Lord Melvllle)
in the important situation of Lord Adyo-
cate for Scotland. On the morning Of
receiving his appointment, he had an in
terview with Mr.. Dundas in the outer
Parliament House; who observing the
latter had already resumed the ordinary
stuff gown, which all practitioners at the
Scottish Bar, except the Lord Advocate
and the Solicitor General of the time be-
ing, are in the custom of wearing, he said
gaily, that he "must leave off talking,
and go and order his silk gown to be
made. cit is hardly worth vhile,"
said Mr.. Dundas drily, for the time
you will want it, you had better borrow
mine" Mr.. Ersksne replied, "From the
readiness with which you make offer, Mr..
Dundas, have no doubt that yours is
gown made to fit any harty; but, how
ever short my time in Office may be, il
shall never be said Of Henry Erskine,
that he put on the abandoned habits Of

When art has in vain her cosmetics appy'd
Goodnature believe me- IS the smoothest of varnish
Which ever bedimpled the beautiful cheek;
No time nor no tint can its excellence tarnish,
1t holds on so long and it lies on so sleek;
IT'S more than the blush of the rose in the morn

The white of the lily is not SO adorning
All accident proof, and all scrutiny scorning;

Tbs surely the girdle that Venus was bound with,
The graces her landmarks, all proud, put it on;
IT'S surely the radiance Aurora is crown'd WITH
Who, smiling, arises and waits for the sun.

The LILY.
cannot love yon gentle flower,
Fen though it looks SO soft and fair:
Its silvery hue recalls an hour
Which memory has not learned to bear
hear them praise its beauteous form,
It's snowy vest and dropping head;
And feel that once il could adorn
The clay-cold breast of CATH'R1NE dead.*
The Fancy pictures ali toe past,
The death-bed scene, the dung groan;
The face where beauty fed SO fast
The eye whose every beam was flown.
The placid smile, the marble brow,
Shaded with dark and glossy hair;
The lips, where LIES last feeble glow
Had left the rose expiring there.
They deck'd with flowers the silent clay;
With sweetest herbs the coffin dressed;
In her cold hand the jasmine lay,
The lily withered on her breast
| gazed upon nv sisters face,
And trembling stood in fear and dread;
Nothing of Cath could l trace
In that pale form so still and dead.
| saw the eye forever closed,
Where filial love SO brightly shone-
Each soothing smile in death reposed,
And every gentle grace was gone.
/ longed her icy hand to kiss,
But shrunk in agony and fear,
To weep had then been almost bliss,
But mol could not shed a tear.
Some flowers the lovely ruin grac'd
What met my sight cannot tell,
/ only saw the Lily placed
Where ev'ry virtue loved to dwell.
Eleven years have passed away,
And still the lily can impart
A thought to cloud lfes tairest day,
A pang to wound Sisters heart

The jiaiers in glory shall sleep,
That gathered with thee in the fight;
But the sons will eternaiiy keep
Tue tablet of gratitude bright.
We bow not the neck, and we bend not the
Knee,
But our hearts. La Fayette, we surrender to
thee.
Gen. La Fayette, our nations guest,
was received 10 this city yesterday, and
welcomed by the inhabitants with demon
STATIONS Of Joy that may perhaps be Coz
ceiyed but are difficult to describe.
The streets through which he passed,
we're crowded with anxious and graft
fed spectators, and every window exhi-
bi,ed indications Of the delight which
his presence and tire recollection of his
services inspired.
An arch was thrown across Washing
ton street, above South Boston bridge,
near the spo, where. when La Fayelie
left the town in 1897, we're the remains
OF breast work erected during the re-
voiutionary war. AT each side OF the
arch was planted Tree Of oak and ano-
Their of pine, and the pillars were taste.
fully wreathed with evergreens and now-
ers. The arch itself was decorated
with American flags and evergreens,
and from its centre scroll was suspend
ed, bearing the inscription which stands
at the head ofthis article.
Another arch was erected across
Washington street, by the Boylston
market, on the spot once shaded by the
4" Liberty Tree" which was elegantly
decorated with oaken garands, so ar
ranged as to form beautiful border OH
each side OF the arch. The space not
covered with these leaves Of oak, was
abou, two feet broad, and contained the
motto Washington and La Fayet,s,"
in large capitals, extending from one
end Of the arch to the other. Under.
meath was the motto, "a Republic not
ungrateful."
At several places lines were extended
across the street, decorated with flags
and forming handsome festoons.
About II o'clock, General La Fsv-

city, from the residence Of Gov Eustis N

his reception was very gratifying, the
people being assembled from all quar-

Al Old Gull ford, town no less inte-
resting for its primative republican

with cordial welcome.
In these towns he stopped but short
time, but long enough TO receive and re-
turn the gratula,ions of many of the in
habliants. The children far and near
got Through from the schools Tor the
torenoon--,he afternoon is always unln-
numbered on that day--and they came
pouring over hill and valley for many a
mile around, led on by their parents and
their grand parents, the danes and pa

hour, receiving similar attentions from
the military and the citizens; and then
passed on to Saybrook, where he lodged.
