Every soul knoweth its own bitterness"
There's many brow that wears smile
Above heart of care,
And many laughing eye conceals
The writings Of despair;
We would not that the world should see
The bosom dark recess;
We would not that the world should know
Its utter loneliness.
The crowded hal--thc Joyous scene
Can not dispel our griof,
In pleasures gaudy gli,tering train,
In vain we seek relief.
There turks a sorrow in tho heart,
A deep corroding care,
We turn us from the mirthful throng
To view the anguish there.
And vain arc Beauty's smiles, to light
The ruins ofthe soul,
And worse than vain, the madd ming d;auGht,
Tho wine-cup and the bowl;
Its pleasures, like the ftful blaze
Within the silent tomb,
Whose ilickcring light but shows moro slear,
Its sad, iuncrcal gloom.
In vain we seek in solitude,
The calmness ofrcpose
In vain we court the Silly grove,
Neglertful Of our woes
Grief still will hover DER the SOUL
And we must yet endure
Misfortune that no charm may heal
Nohumap art can cure.

My dear Mrs. -

Of life, till whelined by some rude bllow,

truce to gloom This is the region of Joy.
Jest and song and revelry drive care away !!
Mirth winds her fairy dance till Reason
reels, aud folly halls her yotaries as the
SOUS and daughters of gladness "This,"
she cries, " is life !" All else is mere ex-
istence. Here the belle OF sixteen, and
the belle Of sixty, trip lightly over the years
between them, and show that time has

cashmere and coaches; Joans OH their

ALL Is VANITY.

Vanity is written OH all earthly things.
1t is inscribed in large and legible charac
ters On the seeming realities of life; and
the dazzling glories ofthe world, serve only
to give out the motto with greater truth
and certainty, as the lightning's vivid
glare in the awful hour of midnight rem
are enveloped and the danger to which we
are exposed. The fashion Of the world Is
subject to continual change, and its beau
| ty, like autumnal leaves, decays, and with
cring, falls at every breeze. How vain
and unsatisfactory are even what has ap-
peured most to interest and please us,
those idols of the heart around which our
fond fancies had entwined themselves.
And in our waking dreams, o, what a
perpetuity of blisstul hours seemed to a.
wait us in the distant vista OF life. " JOY be-
hind JOY IN endless perspective" For a
while at least we may realize the pleasing
vision. No heart rending sorrows break
in upon our new born happiness, no cold
restr s,ions palsy our efforts in the pursuit
of the object after which we aspire, but
fresh and vigorous as the mountain iawn
we sport on the brink of precipiccs, tri-
fling with our health and laughing to scorn
the lessons of the sage friend that would
warn us OF our danger and point us to the
road to Happiness and Heaven. But we
soon awake from our slumbers, the delrium
into which we had been thrown by the
scinatlons Of time and sense leaves us,
and a new train Of reflections take the
place Of those enthusiastic notions which
had been leading us to destruction and to
the grave. In truth, the clouds that are
chased over the face OF the heavens by
winds and storms, are not more evaneScent
than the fortunes of men. The spiders
most attenuated thread is cord, is cable TO
the ties that bind us to this deceitful cline.
The froth OF the ocean is not more light
aud trihing than the empty things which
are continually demanding so much of our
care and attention ;nor are vccring winds
more changeable than the SMILES and
irowns, and plaudts Of our brother worms.
All is vanity here below, ever promising
but never performing. In what a poor
cheating world we dwell. We look abroad
in the morning Of our days and greet the
fair surface of million joys, dazzled with
the many glittering objects that invite our
ardent gaze, we believe them all fair as
beauty, and lasting as fair At the most
distant idea OF deception we spurn. We
cannot imagine that such lovcliness could
ever wither, until the hurried hand Of time
strips them of their borrowed charms and
applying her dripping spunge washes away
the paint with which they had been beau.
titled. Then, and not till then, do we dis
cover the imposture. The haggard WIS.,
sage of despair irowns upon us, and we
ind our most brilliant expectations have
failed, and every bud Of promised felicity
| blighted, leaving us poor and pennyless,
the sport ofwinds and ofwayes.

Beneath yon hedge saw them stand,
The gypsy held the maiden's hand
And as its lines she paused TO trace,
She gazed upon an anxious face.
| mark ID them both--the moon was high,
And pure and cloudless was the sky;
And as listened in the shade,
The Sytil thus addressed the maid.
Maiden, thou would'st have told to thee
The secret ofthy destiny;
Then on this palm, now placed in mine,
For thee | II read each mystic line
'Tis fair hand--a fairer one
These aged eyes ne'er gazed upon;
But, all these signs too well betray,
That clouds will cross thy summers day!
This is line of hope-and this
Should be the mark Of love and bliss,
But that it ends abruptly here
Oh maiden, thou hast much 10 fear.
A dark eye d man will cross thy way,
Thy guileless bosom TO betray
And he will use his honied tongue
To win thce--beautiful and young!
Maiden--what means that boding sigh
Thou hast already met his eye;
Thy ear hath drunk his accents sweet,
Unconscious of their deep deceit.
see It's so---thy cheek is pale
Thou dost not like to hear the tale,
But thou his profer'd love must spurn,
Or thine will meet a base return
Thou hast pure and polished brow,
IT'S lovely in the moonlight now;
Thou hast an eye, beneath whose lid
The soitest light Of love is hid;
So much the worse, for can trace
Upon that pure and polish d place,
Whose whiteness shaInes the ieath'ry snow,
Ere yet il touches earth below.
Impassioned thoushts--fond hopes and feel
ings,
A soul awake TO love s revealings
A heart that dotted and believed!
Was ruined hed--and deceived!
Weep not--weep not--Snt steel thy soul
Against deceitful loves control,
His power once rooted in thy breast,
Then farewell happiness and rest.
Maidcn--my skill can only see
Thus Ear into thy destiny;
Tho rest remains conceald from view,
Beyond yon canopy of blue.
The gypsy paus'd---thc maiden sigh'd,
A heaving sigh she turnd to hide,
Thon slow aud sadly bent her way
To yon lone tenement Of fclay.I
While muttring words of magic power,
The Sybil sought her woody bower
And | to cheat the heeting time,
Muscd my sad feelings into rhyme. C.L.A.

diately engaged in action with Nelson's ship
the Victory; he was placed in the tops, and
professed to have fired the ball, although not
with an aim, which killed our lamented hero.
The following is his account.
After all our top-men had been killed two
sailors and four soldiers (of whom was one)
were ordered to ooccupy their post in the tops.
While we were going aloft. the balls and
grape showered around, struck the masts and
yards, knocked large splinters from them
and cut the rigging in pieces.-One of my
companions was wounded beside me, and
fell from height of thirty feet upon the
deck and broke bis neck.
"When reached the top, my first move
ment was to take view OF the prospect pre-
sented by the hostile fleets. For more than
a league extended thick cloud of smoke, "a
bove which were discerned forest of masts
and rigging, and the flags, the pendants, and
the fire of the three nations. Thousands of
flashes, more or less near, continually pene-
trated this cloud. and a rolling noise, pretty
similar to the sound of continued thunder, tho
much stronger, arose from the bosom. The
sea was calm, the wind light and not very
| favourable for the execution of maneuvres.
"When the English rop-men who were on
| ly few yards distant saw us appear, they
directed sharp fire upon US, which we re-
turned. A soldier in my company and sal
| lor were killed quite close to me; two others
who were wounded, We're able to go below
b. the shrouds. Our opponents were it
seems, still worse handled than we, for
soon saw the Euglsh tops deserted and none
sent to supply the place of those who must
have been killed or wounded by our balls
I then looked up to the English vessel and
our own. The smoke which enveloped them
was dissipated for moment. and returned
thicker broadsdes. The two decks were
covered with dead bodies, which they had
not time then to throw overheard. I per-
ceved Captain Lucas, (the Captain Of the
Redoubtable) motionless at his post, and sew.
eral wounded officers still giving orders. On
the poop of the English vessel was an off
Ger covered with orders, and with only one
arm.-From what heard of Nelson, had
no doubt it was he. He was surrounded by
several officers, to whom he seemed to be
giving orders. At the moment l first per-
ceived rim, several of his sailors were wound
ed beside him, by the fire of the Redoubta.
BILE. As | had received no orders to &C
down, and saw myself forgotten in the
tops, Thought it my duty to fire OH the poop
OF the English vessel. which I'saw quite ex-
posed, and close to me. could even have
taken aim at men I saw, but fired at haz
ard among the group of sailors and officers
All at once, saw great confusion OIL board
the Victory. The men crowded round the
officer whom had taken for Nelson. Ht
had just fallen.''
