THE SISTERS DREAM.
BY MRS. HEMANs.

BE MRS. HEMANS.
She sleeps but not the free and sunny sleep
That lightly on the brow of childhood lies;
Though happy be her rest, and soft, and deep,
Yet, ere it sunk upon her shadow'd eyes,
Thoughts of past scenes and kindred graves erswept
Her souls meek stiness-she had prayed and wept.
And now in visions to her couch they came,
The early lost-the heautifu-the dead
That unto her beQueath'd mournful home,
Whence with their voices all sweet laughter fled:
They rse-the sisters Of her youth arise,
AS from the world where no frGil blossom dies.
And well the sleeper knows them not Of earth
Not as they were when binding up the flowers,
Telling wild legends round the winter-hearth,
Braiding their long fair hair for festal hours;-
These things are past "a spiritual CLEAN,
A solemn glory, robes them in that dream.
Yet if the glee of life's fresh budding years
In those pure aspects may no more be read,
Thence, too, hath sorrow melted-and the tears
Which DER their mothers holy grave they shed,
Are all effaeed there earth hath left no sign,
Save it's deep love, still touching every lines
But oh, more soft, more tender, breathing more
A thought of pitythan in VANISHED days;
While lowering silently and brightly DER
The lone ones head, they meet her spirits gaze,
With their Immortal eyes they seem to say,
"Yet, sister! yet we love thee-come away"
Twill fade the radiant dream! and will she not
Wake with more painful warnings at her heart?
Will not her home seem yet loneler spot,
Her tasks more sac, when these brig shadows part!
And the green summer after them look dim,
And sorrows tone be in the birds wild hymn
But let her hope be strong and let the dead
Visit her soul in heavens calm beauty still
Be their names uttered, be their memory spread
Yet round the place they never more may fill!
All is not over with earths broken tie
Where, where should sisters love- if not on high!

THE CHIEFTAIN OF THE LAKE.

A Swiss Tale.
'rhe town Of Zurich is situated upon the
border Of the Lake bearing its name, and is
the principa: place in that Canton. A few
miles from this village. along the winding and
irregular shore, are still visible the ruins of
the castle of Zwerwald; a loenly pile, situated
upon bold cliff which commands the lake. A
more picturesque and romantic scene never
attracted the ravished eye of the traveller, or
pictured itself in the intuitive fancy Of the
Author of Waverly. The cliff shows its UNI
brageous front towards the water, decked
with dark green fringe of hemlocks and
pines that have laid their bases in the huge
clefts. Formerly, the castle Of Zwerwald
was firmly erected upon this rude pile Of Ma
ture, which, from its hold and commanding
site,w was able to afford view of the surround
ing country on one side, till the eye was lost
in the height of some gigantic mountain and
in the other direction, the silvery mirror Of
the lake sparkled in the midday sunbeams,
until the enchanting view was INSTRUCTED by
the distant blue shore, which was discerned
at several leagues distance.
Here, two centuries ago, was the seat of
the famous Count ErlOch, hero well known
as chieftain in the Swiss Rebellion. He
was one whose heart was open to every ten
der sentiment, and whose feelings would flow
unreluctantly in the channels of sympathy :;
and was well known as an affectionate hus-
band and sire, and the bold chief of the wars
Of the Canton. The fair Innogen, whose
praise was often harped at Dion, was the on
]y.daughter of Count Uric, and had fed with
the brave Swiss knight from her fathers cas-
tie in Burgundy. In vain had Count Uric
concerted and adopted each willy plan which
his temper could invent to revenge himself
upon the lover Of the Countess; but all pro-
we'd in vain. Ten long and happy years had
rolled along ere the happiness of the family
of Erloch had in the least been disturbed.
War in all its terrors had pierced with de-
yastation the country, when Count Erloch
left with feelings of tenderness his family. to
snter upon the hazardous duties of his coun-
try.
A conspicuous station was given him by
the venerable commander, William Tell, and
under that hero he became noSious bane to
the Burgundians and Austrians. He was at
the head of body of peasants when the bat
tie of Morgarten was fought-and in it he fell
a victim to that cause in which he was so glo-
riously martyred. When the armies of both
sides had joined ia deadly combat, and when
friend and foe were stretched side by side in
the last pangs of death, Count ErlOch was
engaged in single combat with distinguished

soldier. I remember well, how we, little
folks, used to hang around him, as behind the
old stove on winter evenings, he rccOunted
perhaps for the hunGredth time, the scenes
Of war. How often did we weep for the
poor old soldier How often did Our indigna-
ton kindle at the recital Of British cruelty -
How often have we been ready to burst for
laughter, at the antic freaks of the Indians,
when the shells were soaring harmIessly over
their stOckades.
The old man is gone--he died Christian
soldier. One lesson learnt from him, which
| should never forget--never to utter about
men or matters of life what do not personal
| ly know. He was bitter enemy to those
HearSay families. One question usually set

which the retailer would not consent tn he re-
sp0nsble. Every article of news must be
warranted. Would it not be Of vast import
ance in society il every man would think Of
this question. ''what do you know about it."
How much scandal would he saved how ma
