GRATITUDE.

In the advance OF the French army in
the fatal campaign against Russia, a
French Colonel, whilst stroliing the SUBJ
ur6s OF wilma, heard cries oil distress
from house, and entering to ascertain
the caused he found tour soldiers engaged
in plumber, and lll-treating an aged Jew,
and young girl, who appeared the only
inhabitants. He instantly lnteriered, but
the marauders not beng inclined 10 re-
hnquish their prey, proceeded 10 blows,
ana the Colonel, who was an excellent
swordsman, land two OF his assailants dead
on the spot, and drove the other two from
the house severely wounded; he HIM
self received some slight wounds and a
ball grazed his cheek. The old Jew
and his daughter were proiuse in their
thanks, and the Colonel at their request,
made their house bis headquarters du-
riB9 the period his regiment renamed
in Wilma. On the return of the rem
naol Of the French army, oppressed with
fatigue, want, and disease, the worn out
soldier IN rags, sought the dwelling of
the Jew, and with difficulty was recog.
nized, SO completely changed was his
appearance. Every service that active
bcnevclence and gratitude could prompt
was Instantly exerted; the Jew, his
daughter, and household, wept over him,
watched his bedside, nursed him with
the iondest care, and when the Russians
entered, kept him concealed till he was
perfectly recovered. The Jew then
completely furnished his wardrobe, and
contrived to send him through the hos
tile armies 10 France. At the peace the
Colonel was obliged to retire on mise
rabe pittance, which an aged mother
and a sister shared.-He had forgotten
tue Jew OF Wilma, when one evening in
the spring OF 1916, man called at his
humble abode In the suburbs OF Paris,
and having satisfied himself as to his
identity, placed in his hands packet,
and vanished. On opening it, the Co.
lionel found bills on a banker in Paris to
the amount of five hundred pounds, with
the following note -" He whose daush
ter you preserved from brutal ravisher
whose lite you saved, and whose hous,
you projected from plumber, N The i'm
minent risk OF your own existence, send
you an humble offering Of his gratitude
in the hope it may be useful to you, ant
which he can we'll spare from the ample
means he possesses the only return h'
requires is, that ii ever hereafter yol

Thou herald pale of death and fate,
Cadaverous and cold,
What numerous pains thy presence wait,
What mortal woes untold
Chill flows the warm and genial blood,
Beneath thy angry nod;
And briefly perish in the bud
The fairest work OF God.
Relentless tyrant OF our race
Deceiver of the wise
Death shows his image in thy face,
And he thou look st on-dies
Aye, withers silent, sad and pale
Though slow, his doom yet sure5
Thy breath empoisons every gale,
Thy victim to secure.
To-da, thy tlattery lulls our fear,
And health trips .jocund by;
Tomorrow all our hopes are scar,
And DER the wreck we sigh;
Our spirits sink depressed and weak
The orbs of vision close;
Death sets his seal upon the check
We sink beneath our woes.
Yet hail thou tyrant fell and dread
Thy ghastly visage show;
SO oft this heart before hath bled,
1t fears no future blow.
Come prey upon this wasting form
Thy tortures all combine;
Pour Oh tins head thy hercest storm,

Ellen was fair, and knew it too,
AS other village beauties do,
Whose mirrors never lie;
Secure of any swain she chose,
She smiled On half dozen beaux,
And, reckless of lovers woes,
She cheated these, and tainted those.
For how could any one suppose
A clown could take her eyer
But whispers through the village ran.
That Edgar was the happy man
The maid design'd to bless
For wheresoever moved the fair,
The youth was like her shadow, there,
And rumor boldly match'd the pair
For village folks will guess;
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-05-21

But where the hours fly free and uncon6n'd
And leave no stings Of conscious guilt behind"

CAME, but they had passed away
The fair in form, the pure III mind -
And like stricken deer l stray,
Where all are strange, and none are kin
Kind to the worn, the wearied soul,
That pants, that struggles for repose
o that my steps had reached the goal
Where earthly sghs and sorrows close
Years have passed DER me like dream
That leaves no trace on memory's page
| look around me, and | seem
Some relic of former age.
Alone as in a stranger cline,
Where stranger voices mock my ear,
mark the tagging course of time,
Without WlSh-a hope-a fear
Yet had hopes-and they have fed
And had fears were all too true:
My wishes too but they are dead,
And what have with life to do
IT'S but to wear a weary load,
| may not, dare not, cast away;
To sigh for one small, still abode,
Where may sleep as sweet as they -
AS tney, tne lONelleSC OF their race,
Whose grassy tombs my sorrows steep;
Whose worth my soul delights to trace
Whose very loss tits sweet to weep
To weep beneath the silent moon;
With none to chide, to hear, to see;
Life can bestoW no dearer boon
On one whom death dlsdains to free
/ leave the world that knows me not,
To hold communion with the dead
And fancy consecrates the spot
Where fancy's softest dreams are shed.
l see each shade, all silvery white,
hear each spirits melting sigh;
turn to clasp those forms Of light
And the pale morning chills my eye.
But soon the last dim morn shall rise
The lamp of life burns feebly now
When stranger-hands shall close my eyes,
And smooth my cold and dewy brow
Unknown lived-so let me die
Nor stone, nor monumental cross,
Tell where his namelcss ashes lie,
Who sighed for gold, and found it dross
