THE CONTRAST.
Written under HIindsor Terrace, I'm Feb. 1872
saw him last night on the Terrace proud,
Walking in health and gladncsS,
Begirt with his Court, ar.d in all the crowd
Not single look of sadness.
Bright was the sun, and the leaves were green,
Blythely the birds were singing,
The cymbals replied To the talnoourinc,
And the bells mcrrily ringing.
have stood by the crowd beside his bier,
When not a word was spoken,
Eut every eye was dim with Il tear,
And the silence by snbs was broken.
have heard the earth on his coffin pour
10 the mufied drums deep rolling,
While the mnutP-guns with its solemn roar
Drowned the deatf-bells telling.
The time since he walked in his glory thus,
To the grave till saw him carried,
w as an age oi the mightlcst change to as,
But to ham night UNMARRIED.
a Daughter beloved "a Queen Son
And Sons sole child have perishd;
And sad was each heart, save the only Que
by which they were fondes, CHERISHED.
FOR ms eyes were sealed, and his mind was dark.
And ne sat IN his ages latenesS,
like Il vision thrond--as a solemn mark
or the fraity Of human greatness.
His SILVER beard DER bosom spread,
Unvex'd by LIES connotion,
Like yearly-lensthenins ow-d-iit shed
On the calm OF a frozen ocean.
Still DER him oblivion's waters lay,
Though the stream of time kept flowing:
When they spoke of our King, twas but 10 say
The old mans strength was going.
At intervals thus the waves disgorgc,
BY weakness rent asunder,
a piece of the wreck of the Royal George,
For the peoples pity and wonder.
He is gone at length-he is laid in dust
Deaths hand his slnnbers breaking,
For the ce'iin'd sleep OF the good and just,
Is a sure and blissful waking.
His peoples heart is his funeral urn,
And should sculptured stone be denied him,
Ihere will his name he found, when in turn
n Ne lay heads beside him.

4 AN AWAY from Anne Arundel county. Ma
AZ ryiand, about the last of September, 1925, a
negro boy named NELSON, who was bound as an
apprentice to Mr. John Forester, TO learn the
blacksnIth's trade, and continued with him five or
six years. He lived several years in Baltimore,
and may possibly be lurking about there at this
time. lie was seen three four months ago in the
country, few miles above Baltimore. I think i,
probable he has obtained a free pass. Nelson was
raised near Westmoreand Court house: he is about
feet III or ii inches high and well proportiened;
mas a very Hat nose, his complexion light. Mas.
tiers of vessels and others are cautioned against en-
ploying or harboring said boy. One hundred dol
lars will be given for experimenting and securing
him in jail, so that get him again, and the above
reward if delivered to at This place.

Morn the watcrs.-ant,, purple and bright,
Bursts on the pillows the flushing OF lshs;
Ger the glad waves, like Il ciiiii OF the sun,
See the tall vessel goes gailantiy on;
Full to tine breeze sine uubosons her sail,
Aud he peouon streams onward, like hope, in the
gale;
The winds come around her, i'll murmur and song,
Aud the surges rejoice, as they bear her along;
See! she looks up to the golden-e edged clouds,
And the sailor sings gaily aloft ia the shrouds:
Onward she glides, amid ripple and spray,
Over the w;tters,--away and away!
Bright as the visions Of youth, ere they part,
Passing away, like a dream of the heart!
VINO, as the beautiful pageant sweeps by,
Music around her, and un'hinc on high
Pauses TO think, amid glitter aud glow,
Oh! there be hearts tina, are breaking below!
Night on the wavas.-aud the is on high,
Hung, like a gem, On the brow of the sky,
Treading its depths in the power OF her might,
And turning the clouds, as they pass her, TO light!
Look TO the waters!-asleep their breast,
Seems the ship like an island ofrest:
Bright and alone ON the shaduwy main,
Like heart-chershed home some desolate plain.
Who-as she smiles i'll the svcry light,
Spreading her wings on the bosom OF hight,
Alone OF the deep, as the moon in the sky,
A phantom of beauty-coud deem, with sigh,
That SO lovely thing is the mansion of sin,
And souls that smitten lie bursting withii'
Who-as he watches her silently gliding
Remembers that wave after wave is dividing
Bosons that sorrow and guilt could not sever,
Hearts which are parted and broken forever?
Or deems that he watches, afoat the wave,
The death-b bed Of hope, the young spirits gravel
lis thus with our life, while it passes along,
Like vessel at sea, amid sunshine and song!
Gaiy we glide, in the gaze of the world,
With streaners ahoat, and with canvass unfurld;
All gladRess and glory, to wandering eyes,
Yet chartered by sorrow, and freghted with signs;
Fading and false is the aspect it wears,
AS the smiles we put on, just to cover our tears;
And the whitening thoughts which the world cannot
49, know,
Like heart-broken exles, lie burning below;
Whilst the vessel drives to that dasolatc shore
Where the dreams Of our childhood are vanished
