AN EXTRACT.

Tho clothd now with ease, tho the pure
stream
of social converse and congenial love
Now offers me its balm, yet doth my soul,
In retrospect, far other scenes survey,
Far other sources for energic powrs.
How can nv pen pourtray the deep distress,
How paint the anguish ofa heart that blcd,
Or how describe the current as it How'd
Fro u sorrows briny dceps' It fails; and lost
In recolection's maze, the mind that felt,
Can only now explore the ambient main,
Which, with impetuous haste my little bark,
O'craow'd and sccm'tl to sink it in til abyss.
But saw. why SINK it mott BY what kind hand
VAST sustain'd' or why was it not Driven
Against that rock, on which so ,hanv split,
And pour their mournful accents TO the wavcs2
Twas not thvselfth that did supports twas not
Thy strength bore up: thou canst not thus con
vert
rh' Overwhelming surge of mourning into Joy.
Then who That Great AN, that Ma iestv
Who made the bush his temple, and whose
flames
Consum'd it not; who breaketh by his word,
And with consolatory bands binds up;
Did He not condescend to intervenc'
Did lie not say ssBc still, it is enough"
Yea, with compassionate regard, po'r'di in
The wine and oil Forget it not, my soul!
Nor seek greater Joy; yet patient be
When nature pours her bittcrs in thy heart,
When heav'n seems brass, and earth with iron
bars
Doth hold its cheering goodness from thee;
Then with calm resigned mind give up,
Freely surrender all thou callcst thine;
NO longer rest on Jordan's banks, but with
Stability step in, and learn to know
That stones there arc which for memorials serve;
rhen bring them up from thence, proofs where
Hast been, and herewith raise thine Ebenc-

But ah! how thoughtlcss in this prosperous
state,

Yet humbled in the dust, implorc thy aid,

The following sketch Of this once beauti-
full and iourishins city is from the animated
pen Of a late traveller.
1t was evening when we entered the basin
of Constantinople; and it was like scene of
enchantment. The seraglio, in part range
of white buildings, beautifully figured in
front, with hanging roofs lead colour, but
without any magnificence of architecture,
stood close to the waters edge; behind was
a rich and moveless mass of cypress, varied

was his adviser and confdant ever sweetening and
melowing down the least rigid word or action of
her husband towards his first-born. When he ex-
ceeded his pay and allowance, her purse made up
the deficiency and whenever he had committed
an error, she his apologst in the first instance,
drectress in the second and his consolatrx in care;
and when no remedy could be found for what had
occurred, it was delightful to the two together.
AS proof of the mutual sentiment existing between
them, remember him one day introducing her to
foreign nobleman thus--ss VOLTA ma belle mere,
vrament belle, est non settlement ma mere, mas ma

mere, makes all translation fall short of the original,

way of Master Jackey, the produce of second
marriage: there we see loneliness and tender age
a victim to rashness, an out-cast, runaway be-
the daughter of her who lies perhaps in
new made grave, sins by inheriting her mothers
beauty, and is contrast to plain step-mother who
must rule the roast, unrivalIed and uncontrolled.
In one family, the child of the first matrimonial en-
gagement flies from home from having lost ia
theirs heart-in another, wretched daughter mar
res the first being that asks her, merely to escape
the tyranny of strange woman, placed in usurped
authority over her In lower life, step-fathers
cruelty chastising the wife's children, disgust the
beholder-and base women, breaking the spirit of
the children given in charge to them by the laws of
society, awaken horror in an honest breast doubt
full and dangerous, however, as these repeated nup-
tals are, is possible to perform the double duties
thus imposed, and there are some rare examples to
justify the remark. "What is a step-mother :"
said Irish Pat to a neghbor countrynan, ''why,"
says Booncy, ga step-mother is step towards be-
ing mother, and yet mother at all, at all''-
Bravo Master Pat, but we will examine another
picture. Lady tartly ventured upon widower of
forty, he had five children du premier it, and Sc
cond family of the same number was the conse-
quence Of the second engagement. Sir John was
sportsman, and SO completely neglected all of
them, that he could not be accused of preference

they have had glass of wine was his daily order
at dessert time, touching the second breed Il shall
be glad when the vacation over, and the brats re-
turn to school Cor college),' was his remark
corning the first, whenever they were at home !;
but his mild, matron-li1e lady was mother to all
without prejudice, preference, or injustice; she
would play with the former like child and school
ceptress ofthe latter To reconcile to another,
to establish the closest links of affection and amity
between them, to recommend them to their father,
to minister to their innocent pleasures, and to
ceal their trivial faults, occupied her whole time,
and they repaid her with the sincerest love. The
lovely Laura married her guardian, handsome
of fifty, for whom Con account of his age and
the parental office which he had discharged towards
herr she entertained more respect and esteem than
admiration or impassioned feeling. He had
oftwenty-one years of age, officer of Light ORA
goons, wild, expensive, and fond of pleasure, but
Of good temper and feeling heart he might have
behed any other step-mother with envy and mis-
trust, or he might have viewed beautiful young
woman thus paired with regret, criminal flame;
but Laura was cast in such gentle mould, that to
know her to be her friend, and she fulfilled her
duties as a wife and nc mother in such manner.

SIR THOMAS MORE.

SIR THOMAS MORE.
In making lately some necessary repairs in st.
Dunstan's church, Canterbury, box was found,
containing the head Of the great Lord Chancellor
More, who was condemned to the block by that
ruthless king, Henry the With, for refusing to
take the oath of supremacy to the self-wed mo-
march The head, with the exception of few of
the teeth, was much decayed and the sacred re-
mains have been restored to their restng-place.-
Sir Thomas was beheaded on the 9th of July, 1926,
in the SD year of his age after the execution, tho
the body was buried in the church of ST. Peter in
the Tower, and afterwardsin Chelsea church. where
it now lies, yet his head was set on pole upon
London Bridge; and was afterwards privately bot
by his daughter Margaret, wife of J. Roper, esq.,
His daughter preserved the head in box, with
