MAY DAY IN THE VILLAGE.
h SKETCH.

The sun had scarcely risen over Elmwood village,
when nearly all its inhabitants had left their BEDS
and we're rambling through the fields, and along
the hedges. to gather green branches and fresh
flowers to deck the May pole, around which the
Young and old were to assemble, when evening,
the friend and patroness OF innocent amusement,
paced in her shadowy mantle over earth. 1t was
that morning that ushered in the merrest month
Of all the years" and in the whole village there
was but one aching heart. Nearly opposite the
spot in which, st time out Of mnd," on such festal
occasions the villagers had held their joyous meet.
ings, was the neat but humble cottage in which
Mary Etlnonds and her children dwelt. She was
stranger, who had been about three years resi-
dent among them, and by her kind and gentle
manners, her continual anxiety to lessen all their
difficulties, and to administer to all their wants.
and, above all, by that air Of gentiity which mark
ed her as evidently superior to the situation she
then filled, she had succeeded in gaining not only
their esteem, but their affection.
Awakened from sleep that was seldom unbroken,
she opened her lattice window, and looked forth
upon the laughing crowds, in whose Joy she could
not participate, and listened to the merry singing,
for which her heart had no echo; their voices
we're loud and cheerful, as they sung the song that
had been their favorite, perhaps for ages;
/ It's the merry month Of May,
| lhat laughs all wintry cares auay;
o, the merry. merry May
Nov We have had our April showers
And merry May win bring us flowers.
., the merry. merry May
| She comes in robe of red and greens
| So gay, with diamond gems be'ween
| o, The merry, merry May
Then look upon her coudess sky
/ And hear her herald lark on high,
| o. the merry, merry May
Then drive all wntry away,
| And laugh, and be like merry May:
o. the merry, merry May!
Mary Edmonds listened to the gay song Of her
neiehbors but they little knew the feelings to
which their merriment had given rise. The day
was to her, one which brought to her, recoections
the most sad, and when they passed OH their way
rejoicing, she turned from her WINDOW aho piteerly
wept. -, -, y.
some cloud Swallowed her hopes and her prospects
for in her countenance and manner there was that
expression Of deep, though accomplishing sorrow,
which seldom arises from any wound but that
which rankles in the heart, and for which the
worlds blessing can never provide cure. Her
cottage v.as neatly and tastefully furnished. L
was evident that she possessed competency suf-
cient to secure the possession, not only OF neces
sar;es but Of comforts. All who knew her were
her friends, and it was almost impossible that she
could ever have had an enemy. Her habits and
temper were peculiarly domestic and placid, and
: her children we're all that mother could wish in
them--beautifnI, interesting, and beloved by all
!. The uularrianss (cr every one felt that she was

GREEK SONG.


Mount soldier, mount, thy gallant steed-
Seek, seek, the ranks Of war;
IT'S better there, in death to bleed,
Than drag tJrant's car.
Strike! strike! nor think the blow unseen
That frees the limbs where chains have been.
Oh no! each diving shout that peals
From continent or isle
Each smoke that curling slow. reveals
A ciiy's funeral pe,-
Are heard and seen among the free,
Whose hearts are, struggling Greece, with thee.
On, on for Karaiskakrs band
Look where The crescents wave;-
They glance above a ruined land,
Like death lights DER grave:
One prayer. one thought, of Maraihon.
And they are quenched, -on, soldier. on!
But yet. if not the glorious past,
MOI hope OF future fame,
Nor chains Of steel around thee cast,
Urge lhee TO with shame -
Think tiai hey ond the parting sea
The prayers Of beauty rise for thee.
Nay, cast not on thy infant child
That look Of fond regret
Mud not that shrek of sorrow wd,--
Thy wife shall clasp thee yet;-
GOD and the fair the wave
Watch DER the children of the brave.
Then soldier, mount thy galan, steed,--
Seek, seek. the ranks OF war;
IT'S better there in death to bleed,
Than drag lyrant's
One clasp,-one kss,-then soldier, on
And win another Marathon. SIMON1DES.
