ing his cottage with visit. The women
Of The cottage, however, were Of a very
difiere nt opinion. With them the lady
could be no other than the Fairy Queen,
who must doubtless have come to tell
poor Isabel her fortune; the spoiled thread
was a SIGN that the first days Of her life
would be marhed with disappointment
and sorrow: and the crown piece tied in
a handkerchief to the spoke of the wheel,
bctokencd that she would in the end arrive
by honest industry at wealth and comfort.
Harmless dclusion. it lasted but for day.

FROM "THE GRAVE"

POEM BY BERNARD BARTON.
love to muse, when none are nigh
Where yew-tree branches wave,
And hear the winds, with softest SIGH,
Sweep DER the grassy grave.
1t seems a mourntul music, meet
10 soothc a lonely hour;
Sad though it be, it is more sweet
Than that from pleasures bower.
| know not why it should be sad,
Or seem mournful tone,
Unless by man the spot be clad
With terrors not its own.
To nature it seems ust as dear
As carth's most cheerful scitc;
The dew -drops glitter there as clear,
The sun-beams shine as bright
The showers descend as softly there,
AS on the lovcest flowers
Nor does the moonlight seem more fair
On beauty's sweetest bowers
"Ay! but with;n-vithn there sleeps
One DER whose Wondering clay
The loathsome earthworm winds and crceps,
And wastes that form away"
And what of that The frame that feeds
The reptile tribe below,
As little of the banquet needs,
AS Of the winds that blow.

TIE WIDOW IN TEARS.

IRON TIE MEMOIRS OF PETER H. BRUCE, ESQ.
General Matuskin, after the taking OF
Baku, was promoted to the rank Of lieut.
general, and was at the same time, major
Of the first regiment Of guards, and in
great esteem with his ma esty. He was
an old bachelor, when he married bux-
ON young widow, whose fiji st husband,
major general Glebof Of the Dragons,
had been concerned in the troubles with
sbc C7aroviiz, IN 1892. for which he was
condemned; but died in prison, ana his
estate being confscated, the widow was
reduced TO very low circumstances
Gen Matuskin, who was appointed Judge
on that trial, WAS solicited by the mourn
full widow, who implored him on her
knees, bathed in tears, to commisserate
her unmerited sufferings, being then re-
duced to the extremity Of misery and
want. In this supplicating attitude, she
SO captivatcd the old bachelor, that he
directly made her an offer Of himself, and
all he had, for her relief; which the wi
dow joyfully accepted. On which the
general applied to the empress to pro-
cure his ma esty's consent.
When the affair was mentioned to the
emperor, he was much displcased at the
generals seeking to match himself with
The widow Of rebel, Offering him, at the
same time, any other lady he should pitch
upon; but the general told him, " that it
was impossible for him to love any other
woman, and humbly besought his majes
ty to grant his rtquesty otherwise he
would lose one Of his most favorite ser
wants" Being seconded by the empress
in his application, his ma jesty became at
last curious 20 see this widow, who had
made such an impression on the heart Of
the old spark; and when she was intro
duced to the emperor, he declared, " he
was not at all surprised at The conquest
she had made; - and not only gave his
consent, but honored their marriage with
his presence, attended by the whole court.
The lady ever afterwards, went by the
name of lhe IS WIDOW IN TFARS'

rom the Spa'iSh.-lpspco'ds Of t7ro centuries old
Blow light, thou balmy air,
My lady's couch above,
Blow lightly there, ye winds, and spare
The slumbers of my love
Let no rude blast be found
To mar her gentle sleep;
But all around, dreamy sound,
And drowsy murmur creep.
o fly thou bain,y an,
And by her couch remain,
Go blend thee with with her breath and bcal
Its balm to me again,
But lightly go, and gently blow
Blow softly as my strain.
Blow gently, do not break
The stiffness Of her sleep;
would not make my love awake,
Nor raise those lids to weep.
Ye Winds that borne in happier hour,
May wanton as We will,
If round the bower, We have the power
To creep and murmur still,

And lei her slurnber still

Where peasants dressed the vines.
Sunlight was on Cithtron's rilla,

And brightly, through his reeds and flowers.

When sound arose from Sparta's towers
OF solemn harmony.
Was it the hunters choral strain
To the woodland-goddess poured
Did virgin hands in Palas' fame
Strike the full-sounding chord
But helms were CHANGING on the stream,
Spears ranged in close array,
And shields flung back a glorious beam
10 the morn OF fearful day
And the mountMn-echoes OF the lanti
swelIed through the deep-blue SKI,
While to soft strains moved forth a bard
OF men that moved to die
They marched not with the trumpet, DiA,t
Nor babe the horn peal out
And the laurel groves, as on they passed,
Eune' with no battle shout
They asked no clarions voice to fire
Their souls with an impulse high,
But the Dorian reed and the Spartan lyrr
For the sons of Liberty
And still sweet flutes, their path around,
Sent forth Eolian breath
They needed not stcrner sound,
To marshal them for death
SO moved they calmly to their field,
Thence never to return,
Save bearing back the Spartan Shield.

That the cultivation of science
which is 90 Immediately essential to the
stability of our government, and to the

has been neglected, is the more extra
ordinary, when we view the exPsnse OF
inventive genius, and promp'oess to

the character Of this Republic. To
that neglect we ascribe state OF inJu-
rious depression and general em-
barrass ment which prevails amidst the
blessings Of peace, and the abundance
of materials for every comIort-maDl'
testify proving the fatal presence Of some
defects or the lamentabe absence Of a
