on nv return from a visit to the country, a few
days SINCE my attention was arrested by little
girl, about nine years OF age, beckonlng me to
STOP Sir, be so kind as to break me off a
bunch of leaves to make bed for the poor
lamb that's run over / got out of my chaise,
and went with the child to tree little distance
from the road side Here was fine black lamb
stretched on the ground the blood was running
out of its nostrils-it made faint continued
noise like feeble groaning, and seemed to be
expiring. solitary sheep kept close to the
spot and watched all our motions. Poor thing
said the little girl, he never will skip and play
any more on the beggar's ground'-and burst
into tears. My dear, said |, how did it happen

close to where its mother was feeding, and the
two cruel gentlemen, that went along just now
in the carriage, never minded the lamb, but
drove straight OVERT: and brough it away from
the hot sun, and laid it here in the shade but it
wont get well, and again with her apron, she
wiped away the tears which she could not sup
press Poor old Mrs. c. she continued in

Where does Mrs c. live said l. Yonder,
on the beggar's ground she replied, pointing
to cottage about half mile off Are you go

radshes and milk for her tea By this time the
lamb was dead Hell want no bed of leaves
said little Maria, and she took up her basket
to go, she turned to look again at the object of
her grief Oh it was so cruel to let the wheel
run over an innocent lamb, she said, and hur-
red off for the poor woman's cottage.
NV own feelings were scarcely less excited

slowly pursued my journey, how dead to every
tender and generous feeling must be the heart

would crush an innocent animal under the wheel
of his carriage, rather than check or turn aside
his steed is unworthy the name of husband, or
brother, or friend Let him be the companion
of no one for in his cold, unfeeling heart, there
are none Of those amiable affections which form
the cement Of kindred souls there is no milk of
human kindness in his breast-he cannot feel
another's woes or share another's Joys.

gentleman fell suddenly in love with young la

When my poor name is seen,
From knowing was entertained
BY you at Cowslp Green
Rather let me record name
That shall adorn your page,
Which, like the sun, is still the same,
And shines from age to age:
JESUS, who found me when stray'd
In AfRIcs dreary wild,
Who for my soul a ransom paid,
And made his foe child.
He taught my wild and blasphemous tongue
To aim at pray'r and praise,
To make his grace my theme and song,
And guided all my ways.

AS if to feed with their soft fire

And play'd around those lips, that sung
And spoke, as flowers would sing and speak,
If Love could lend their leaves tongue,

Each rosy ray from heaven Withdrew
And when to gaze again turn'd

The glory all had left that Frame
And from her glimmerlng lips the tone.
AS from parting spirit came.
Who ever lov'd, but had the thought
That he and all he lovd must part
Fill'd with this fear, flew and caught
That fading image to my heart
And cried, T" Love is this thy DOOM

Must ye then lose your golden bloom,
And thus, Ike sunshine, die away -

ODE TO THE SUN.

Thou, whose rejoicing eye of light
Looked forth, at Gods inspiring call,
When order lay in boundless night,
And darkness wantoned over all;
Whence thy perpetual youth, o Sun
Since life, and light, and time begun
Exulting on thy course sublime,
How bright thy yellow crosses glare,
AS still they wave unhurt by time,
High Ger the azure depths of air,
AS still thy wings unwearied go,
While earth and ocean laugh below.
When first thy rudy pinions lave
The skies-careeringr round the day;
The moon sinks down the western wave
Retreating from thy fiery ray,
The stars are blenched, the ghost of night
Flies sullen from thy blasting light.
Unchanged art thou when darkness shrouds
When angry nature weeps around,
Far, far above the ebon clouds,
Thy splendours sweep the blue profound,
Where all mistaken, wheel the spheres,
Beyond the reach of parting years.
The mountain oak with age shall fall,
The everlasting hills decay,
But thou shalt hear the morning call,
Till heaven and earth shall pass away,
Thy youth, thy strength, shall last, o Sun,
Till life, and light, and time, are done.

WHERE ROSES WILD WERE BLOWING.

Where roses wild were blowing,
There stood humble cot;
Around it streams were flowing
Contentment bless'd the spot:
But human bliss is feeting,
And joy is but flower;
The heart with sorrow meeting.
Will wither meath its power.
This peaceful habitation,
Contained beauteous maid;
No fow'ret in creation
Such sweetness e'er display'd;
In youth and beauty beaming,
Celestial was its ray
Love came with artful seeming
and stole that bloom away.
But now the cots forsaken,
The gardens all waste;
Their ruin'd charms awaken
Sad feelings in the breast
No roses now are blowing,
Where smiPd the happy COT
But thorns and weeds are growing,
And gloom o'ershades the spot.

THE UNkNOWN GRAVE.

THE UNKNOWN GRAVE
Who sleeps below who sleeps below
It's a question idle all
Ask Uf the breezes as they blow,
Say, do they heed, or hear thy call
they murmur IN the trees around,
And mock Thy voice, an empty sound
A hundred summer suns have shower'd
Their fostering warmth, and radiance bright
hundred winter storms have lower'd
With the piercing floods of night
Since first tbs remnant of race
Did tenant bis lone dwelling-place.
Say, did he come from east, from west
From southern clmes, or where the pole.
With frosty sc<pt1e, doth arrest
The bowling pillows as they ron
Within what realm Of peace or strife
Did he first draw the breath Of life
Was he of high or low degree
Did grandeur smile upon his lot
Or, born to dark nbscuntv,
Dwell he within some lonely cot,
Md from his youth to labor wed,
From toll-strung limbs wrung daily bread
Say, died he ripe, and full Of years,
Bowed down and bent BY hoary cid,
When sound was silent to his ears,
And the dim eye ball sight withheld;
Like ripe apple falling down,
Cnshaker, mid the orchard brown;
When all the friends that blessed his prime,
Were VANISHED like a morning dream;
Pluck d one by one BY spareless Time,
And scattered in Oblivon's stream;
ID, II n
Like snow fakes melting in the sea:
Or, md the summer of his wears
When round him throngcd Ii, children Young
When bright eyes gush'd with burning tears,
And anguish dweIt on every tongue,
Was he cut of, and left behind
wdow'l wifi, scarce half resignd
Or, mid the sunshine of his spring
Came the swift bolt that dash'd him down,
When She, his chosen, biossoming
In beauty, deenld him all her own,
And forward look'd to happier years
Than ever blessed then vale Of tears
Perhaps he per.shd for the faith
One of that prosecuted oand,
Who suffered tortures, bonds, and death,
To free from mental thrall the land,
And, toGng for the martyrs fame,
Espous'd his fate, nor found name
Say, was he one to silence blind,
gropcr in earths dungeon dark
Or one, whose bold aspiring mind
Did IN the fair creation mark
'Fhe makers hand, and kept his soul
Free from this groveng worlds control
