White as the fugers Of the hands of death,
Seend but picture of the lonely grave;
Her blighted eyes, once like her native sky,
When natures pencil with its favorite hue
Tints it, and makes it lovely to the sight,
Look'd like the moon DER which a wand'ring
cloud
Had swiftly pass'd and left veil behind
And her pale cheek, which We'd in beauty with
The crimson rose, when health had nurs'd it,
Wither'd at the touch Of the fell menster.
No longer could her tongue, by fcrrrs parch'd,
Call on mothers name, and animate
The dwelling other youth--no more could she
Sound those clear notes which oft indulge the
ear
With many song, that breath'd the language
Of her tender heart-ro ongercould she
Sweep her fair fingers DER her charming Tyre
To cheer the bosom and refine the soul
With pleasure and W, h love-tlle messenger was
near!
Who then can stay the mighty arm of Death9
Can Nan, with all his boastcd strength and fire !
Nol-he's like an insect meath the arm Of God!
Can Wisdom, with all its wonted firmness'-No!
,Tis like star that glitters and departs.
Can Beauty, with loveliest, gayest smiles'
No!---'tis like ,fo,eer on the whirlwnd's wing:
Can Ga,ety?--No! 1t is but Vanity,
Which trcmbles and decays whene'er tits near

He wept his hours--at last his life away.

A WIFE.

Moore, in his life of Sheridan, thus speaks
of Sheridan's first wife. Miss Linley, that
was 1--WE have already seen with what
plant sympathy she followed her husband
throughout his various pursuits-indemnify fly
ing herself with the politician as warmly and
readily as with the author, and keeping love
still attendant on genius through all his trans
actions. AS the wife of the dramatist and
manager, we find her calculating the receipts
of the house, assisting in the adoption of her
husbands opera, and reading over the plays
sent in by dramatic candidates. As the
wife Of the senator and orator, we see her,
with no less zeal, making extracts from
state papers, and copying out ponderous
pamphlets entering with all heart and soul
into the details of elec ions, and even en-
deavoring to fathom the mysteries of the
funds. The affectionate and sensible care
with which she watched over, not only her
own children, but those which her beloved
sister, Mrs. Tickell, confided to her in dy-
ing, gives the finish to this picture of dones-
tic usefulness. When it rs recolected too,
that the person thus homelily employed was
gifted with every charm that could adorn
and delight society, 1t would be difficult,
perhaps, to find any where more perfect
example of that happy mixture of utility
and ornament, in which all thar is priced by
the husband and the lover combines, and
which renders women, what the sacred fire
was to the Parsees-not only an object of
alteration on their altars, but source of
warmth and comfort to their hearts,"

EVENING.

The effulgence of the sun is no longer wit
messed; his last rays have tinged the verdant
landscape; and he has now retired beyond the
western mountains. The moon with majestic
beauty and brightness maintains her ceaseless
course, and guides the wanderer to his home.
The twinkling stars, decorating the canopy above,
and sparkling with undiminished splendor, speak
forth the wisdom ofthe great Original. All na-
ture breathe solemn adicu to the departing
day: silence peryades the earth; and Intelligent
beings may now pause to contemplate with those
hallowed feelings which the auspicions period
inspires the glores of their Creeser, tts wisdon.
and beauty of all his works This hour is pecu-
to inspire the heart with holy love; to animate
our hopes, and guide to virtue. Man is the on
ly intelligent creature that inlabits the globe;
the only being who can admire and love his Gre
ator. How exalted his rank How noble his exis
tence!
There are moments in life, in which we are
led to contemplation, there is a time when the
past is recalled; when the future is anticipated.
That time is evening; perhaps when we sit by
the burning taper, or when by moonlight, we
range the fertile fields.
Oft have paus'd, when evenings silent hour,
Was fraught with beauties seemingly divine,
70 feast the soul, within the sacred bower,
With luxuries, she seem'd to say were mine"
| Evening outvies every other hour in time. The
day is passed, with its perplexities and cares;
nopght is present to disturb the tranquil breast;
and we are permitted to enjoy the sacred sweets
which memory awakens. And though it may
not always be pleasing to reflect on the past,
still it is profitable. The present will be appre-
ciated; the future prepared for. The morning
and MONDAY of life may pass unheeded; but the
evening of existence will come, and it may
beam with hoPe-we should improve life as it
passes.

THE CAPITOL.

This magnificent edifice is now nearly
completed. 1t has been the work Of many
years, and reflects great credit ON the Naste
and munihccncc of the nation. Inthis coun-
try it stands unquestionably unriyalcd. and
there are few buildings. if any, in Europe,
erected for similar purposes, that surpass
it in beauty, splendor or magnitude. View
ed by day or seen by the mellow light of
the moon, no object of art can be more grand
and imposing, and every American, when
he gazes upon it., must feel a glow of exul-
tation at the idea that it is the work of the
Government his Country, and will point
to it as the emblem of that Country's Con-
stitution, at once solid, permanent, simple
and beautiful. Although in point of taste
there may be objections made to SONG parts
