There is something very pretty ard at thu
same time very interesting in the stanza, b,
Henry Neale, which will be found below. MIR
Neale has written much, and but little that thu
most fa.tidious would object to.
"oh! pale is that cheek,
Where the rose Aourished brightly;
And cold is that heart,
Which beat Warmly and lightly:
Aud that lip have c!nng to
The loathsome now presses;
And the cold earth worm strays
Mid those dark-fowiDg tresses,
Yes, the earth worms the lover
That twines round thee now;
The rank grass waves over
That hcav'n beaming brow:
The nisht-wind is signing
Its dirge DER thy head
And the screech-owl replying
In shrieks for the dead.
Yet thy soft image never r.
My bosom fersakes;
For thee my heart ever
Shall bea. till il breaks.
This wreath am braidns
To deck thy grave-stone,
Oh! would il were shedding
It's leaves DER my own.

il was the first for many a long an
weary day; tears gushed from her eyes
and clasping HIM around the neck, sh
exclaimed, 'it is my own, true sodger.
Have ye come to marry your Effie!-
The sodger could not speak, he claspe'
her to his bosom All around wer'
weeping, and ashamed Of showing m,
emotion, rushed into my room and
gave vent to my feelings Mac Clay
more accounted for his apparent neglec
of Effie as follows.
The villuge to which he had been or
dered was in a remote district Of Suth
erlandshire, and although he had fre'
quently eadeavoured to obtain leave Of
absence to pay her a visit, the duties OF
the service on which he aad been detail
ed, were such as to prevent it. He had
frequently sent messages, but they never
reached her until at length his party was
ordered to join their regiment to GO to
the Continent. He had been in the battle
Of Waterloo, where he behaved with
distinguished gallantry and lost an arm.
He had been afterwards carried to an
hospital where he remained for many
weeks without an opportunity offering
to let her know what had become OF
hi II; but as soon as he was permitted to
come out, he had FASTENED to find his
beloved Efie, with the happy tidings
that he had been discharged OIL half pay
with an allowance for the loss Of his
arms, and several badges Of distinction
TO spend the remainder Of his life with
her in comparative abundance and to
make all the aIonement IN his power for
past injury So soon as it was known
that jamie Mac Claynore had returned
an old crone, relation of Eflie was seen
-busling towards the inn with large
bundle of something in her arms, she
entered, and throwing off the covering,
showed the features of II fine bouncing
boy, who smiled at being permitted to
look upon the light, IT was Effie's child.
Fears had long been entertained for the
safety of the infant, owing to the dis
ordered state Of the mothers mind, lest
she might let it fall in cIambering among
the precipices. Cn the day when the
child disappeared, the old woman hap
pened to pass where Eflie was lying
asleep with her baby in her arms, near
the brink Of the mountain stream, and
mad taken the infant home and kept it
until hearing of the Mac Claymore's re-
turn and Eflie's restoration to her sens
es, she came to restore the child to his
nappy parents. In a short time after
wards jamie and Effie were united in
wedIock in the village kirk, surrounded
by happy faces, and have since heard
that the country does not contain hap
pier couple than Sergt. Mac Claymore,

TIE SABBATH MORNING.
How calm comes On this holy day
Morning unfolds the eastern sky,
And upward takes her lofty way
Triumphant 10 her throne on high.
Earth glorious wakes, as DER her breast
The morning fings her rosy ray,
And blushiug from her dreamlcss rest
Unveils her to the gaze Of day;
SO still the scene, each wskeful sound
Seems hallowed music breathing round.
The night-wina, to their mountain caves,
The morning mists to beavens blue steep,
And to their ocean depths the waves
Are gone, their holy rest to keep
lis tranquil all--sround-above--
The forests far which bound the scene
Are peaceful as their Makers love,
Like hill, Of everlasting green.
And clouds like earthly barriers stand
Or bulwarks Of some viewless land.
Each tree that lifts il. arms in air,
Or hangs its pensve head from high,
Seems bending at its morning prayer,
Or whispering with the hours gone By;
This holy morning, Lord is thinei
Let silence sauctify thy praise
Lei heaven and earth ia love combine,
And morning stars their music raise.
For lis the day-joy-joy-ye dead
When death and hell were captive led! P.
