NOBILITY GAINED BY MERIT.

The ancestor of the Duke of Leeds was
Young man named Osborne, who served his APP
premiership to Sir William Hewitt who was
Lord Mayor of London in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth. Sir William lived on London Bridge,
and his daughter, during Edward Osborne APP
premiership, accidentally fell from her fathers
window into the Thames Osborne plunged af-
ter the young lady, and saved her life at the
risk of his own. This act added much to the
favorable opinion which the master had for the
apprentice, and as soon as the latter had served
his time, Sir William Hewitt said to him
s. Osborne, you are a deserving youth and
have faithfully served me for seven years. | am
under considerable obligation to you-you have
saved the life of my only daughter al the peril
Of your own. You have then the best claim to
her-she is at your service, if you choose to ac-
cept of her in marriage, and the most considera-
bic part of what | am possessed of shall hereaf
ter be yours. Osborne GLADLY accepted the
generous offer, and the eldest son OF that mar
ri &c was Hewett Osborne, who was knighted
by the earl of Essex, under whom he served in
Ireland, for his services in the field The family
soon after became ennobed. Thomas Osborne,
the first Duke of Leeds, was prouder Of the cir
cumstance of his ancestor having acquired
wealth and station by bis honest and intrepid
spirit than he was of any of the subsequent
services Of the family, and related the circum-
stance with conscious pride to Charles H.

A FATHERS FAREWELL TO HIS DAUGHTER.
Come near to me, my gentle girl,
Come share fathers parting sorrow
And weep with me those tears to-day,
Nor thou, nor /, may weep tomorrow.
Come lean once more upon my breast,
AS when a simple child caressng,
Por another day, and far away
Wilt thou be from thy fathers blessing.
The wind blows fairly for the sea
The white waves round thy bark are swelling,
Thy lover signs, for the morn to rise,
And make thee bride, my gentle Ellen
Yet closer, closer, round me cling,
Though another claim thy love tomorrow,
None, none are here to reprOve the tear,
That flows to-day for fathers sorrow
Come gaze on me, thou darling child,
My f,.lrest and my fondhest CHERISHED,
That may trace, in thy placid face,
Thy mothers beauty ere she perish'd.
And let me hear thy mothers song,
Yet more from thy sweet lips swelling,
And none again shall sing that strain,
The last song of my gentle Ellen.

And say, that when between us lie
Wide lands and many a mountain blllow,
Thy heart will tend to thine earliest friend,
And think in prayer of his aged pillow.
For my head is white with winter snow
No earthly sun away may carry,
Until come to my waiting home,
The last home, where the aged tarry.
Then lean once more upon my breast,
AS when simple child caressng,
For another day, and far away,
Wilt thou be from thy fathers blessing.
Ay, closer, closer, round me cling,
Though another claim thy love tomorrow
None, none are here, to reprove the tear,
That flows to-day for fathers sorrow.

THE MERRY HEART.

would not from the wise require
The lumber Of their learned lore
Nor would from the rich desire
A SINGLE counter of their store.
For have ease and have health,
And have spirits, light as air,
And more than wisdom, more than wealth,
a merry heart that laughs at care.
Like other mortals of my kind
I've struggled for dame Fortunes favor,
And sometimes have been half lnCln'd
TO rate her for her ill-behaviour
But life was short-i thought it folly
To lose its moments IN despair;
So slipp'd aside from melancholy,
With merry heart, that LAUGHED at care.
And once, 'tis true, two 'witching eyes
Surprised me IN luckless season,
TuYn'd all my mirth to lonely signs,
And quite subdued my better reason
Yet twas bu' love could make me grieve,
And loves, you know, reason fair,
And much improv'd, as believe,
The merry heart that LAUGHED at care
SO now, from idle wishes clear,
make the good may not find
Adown the stream gently steer,
And shift my sail with every wind
And half by nature, half by reason,
Can still with plant art prepare,
The mind, attun'd to every season,
The merry heart, that laughs at care.
Yet, wrap me in your sweetest dream,
Ye social feelings of the mind,
Give, sometimes give, your sunny CLEAN,
And let the rest good humour find
Yes. let NE hail and welcome give
To every Joy my lot may share,
And pleased and pleasing let me live
With merry heart that laughs at care.

The dense damp air Of winter day.
Give me Wife whose sunny eye

Whose honied words and looks will say
Love can bloom in winter day.
Friendship may come, with plausive air,
To cheer the hours that are free from care ;

From the frost and storm of a winter day.
Wine hath quick, but passing power,
To dispel the fend of gloomy hours
But it lacks the vigorto drive away
The heightened gloom of a winter day.
