DEATH.
What ist to'dies what but to rest,
In soft and sweetly seal'd repOse;
What is the grave but natures breast
Maternal, where she sooths our woes:
The troubled strife of life's lone way,
Its conflicts there can never wage;
The fate that dims its light away,
Reverses all on misery's page.
The torturing spectre Gifts doom
There ,ades away in airy nought;
No more to revel mid its bloom,
And blight what e'en its virtues bought
The good, the great, the brave and lar,
Meet all within that sombre hall,
That nj ht and cold oblivion share,
'Throned on the darkly flowing pail.
All to breathe and briefly pass away,
As mornings transient shadows fade;
To be as dreams of yesterday
The morning strains that late were played
Is all Of life and life's clos I'd scene;
Alltnat its boon can give or take;
And hope but III hts the gloom between
By that, which ne'er in truth may wake.

Heaven. his lips already beginning
to murmur "a fathers CURSE" when
Clari, whose feelings have been
wrought up by her similarity OF stu
atiun, rushes forward, with a scream
of agony, and falls senseless on the
floor. The scene changes, and We
have an interesting interview be-
tween the Duke and Clari, when ne
declares he never intended to marry
her-that it would be utterly impos'
sible that a man of his rank could de-
base himself to marry a mere COT
tase girl, and SCOTS at her for ever
having ilhulged such visionary hopes:
At first. Clari does not comprehend
him. She does not conceive how he
could SO toy with her happiness-how
he could win her young affections,
and then cast them from him with
such cold, heartless indifference !;
but when she is convinced-when
the dark truth comes over her bright
hepes-the insuIted spirit Of the wo-
man rises up in its dignity, and she
rushes from bis sight. Like the
dove, that returned to the ark it had
abandoned. the repentant child bent
Der steps towards her OWN dear home.
After being cloyed with the mag
nificence of the dukes mansion, by
the magic of the stage, we behold be-
fore us the village of CIari and she
comes down from the distances over
a rough bridge. She looks around
upon her blessed, blessed home"
The same cottages that used to de-
light her fearless eye, are yet stand
ing in their beautiful simplicity a.
mong the rich foliage Of the old trees.
There is the river, yet stealing its
silent way in the sun, and she STANDS
ON the same dear, we'll remembered
spot she had left, for the cold, cold
sDlendor of the dukes palace. As
CIari approaches, she discovers Nj
netto, one of her former companions.
She is anxicusly inquiring concern
ing her parents. when the clear me-
Iodious tones of a village flute e on
the still summer air.-Pensive and
sweet, it breathes forth the sad mu
sic of its sound, and she catches her
own melancholy air:
mid pleasures and palaces though We may

Be it ever so manufacturers no place like

pressibly tender. 1t seemed as III
the spirit of her home was lowering
around her, and welcoming her with
that sacred, beautiful truth
There's no place like home
Clari felt the coincidence. Tho
sound floated an instant in the air ;
she leaned forward, as if to catch
the very echo of its sweetness. The
silver music gradually died away,
aud tie full-hearted girl bent down
her head and wept. 1t was Que of
the pre1tiest incidents We have ever
witnessed OH any stage; and it we
may judge from certain symptoms a
bout the eyes of the audience, their
hearts felt all its tenderness.
In the end, Clari meets her pa
rents; and during their interview
the duke enters-declares that Clari
is innoCent-and offers his hand and
heart. The father blesses them,
and the curtain falls.
