jBIest Mary, would his lips have spoke, but they
Were still in death; and his dark eye fell glaz'd
And coldly set meath its unstrring lid
And she, the fond one, knelt beside him still,
Gazing with burning eye, yet shed no tear,
And then she bow'd her head, and buried close
Her face, while from her heart went up to Hcav'n
A silent pray'r, that God would grant her
strength
In this dark hour of desolating thought
And none but He can tell the inward strife,
The burst of thought, that agoniz'd her heart
And then she rose with calm and holy look,
Yet lingerd still beside his couch, and pressd
Once more the lips still clear to her, though pale
And cold and still, they answered not her kiss.
But there was one, who stood UNMARKED the
Her spor,iye, boy. whose glec was chasten'd
down,
He knew not why, till from his eye tear
Sprung forth, and coming to the bed, he took
Ills mothers hand, and said unconsciousy,
"Mother, how long till father will awake"
And then burst forth from the seal'd spring Of
grief
The tears that she had thought she would re-
strain,
For she had ncrv'd herself to bear her wo,
And watchd until her heart grew strong and firm,
But ah! she could not brook, unmov'd, that voice
And look OF her far boy, petWlHt tear
And smile, that came so sudden on her hcart;'--
1t spoke to her Of Joys departed, long.
And hopes deccv'd, and SORROWS yet TO come,
And all the utter darkness Of her fate;
And tears Aow'd fast and long, and chok'd the
pray'r
That would have risen for her orphan hoy.
And thus it is with womsn-her fond heart
Must still be plac'd in perfect trust on some
False dream of Joy, some cloudlet of the sky
Which fancy throwshigh DER our heads in youth,
And then must see it melt away, and leave
A dark'ning thunder cloud that bursts lis folds,
And in its fiery storm skaters her hopes.
She hath no second chance, for all is risk'd
At once and if she fails, she fails for aye.
Yet still so fond, so weak, SO slight thing,
Shrinking from e'en the summer wind, and one
Who seems as made for man to watch and guard,
Will brave the blasts ofadverse fate and unnov'd;
And by the strong endurance of her love,
Will rise, with mind elastic, from the storm
Which lays the pride Of manhoods daring lows
And tho the lov'd the chosen one should turn
In utter scorn away, yet will she cling
Where first she twn'd; and if at last she meet
But one kind word, will deem her wrongs repaid,
And, still confding, prove the faithful one.

Whilst on the subject Of sinister admis-

than relate the very singular and whimsical

to one of the first families in Ireland (Lein-

ASCENT OF ST. PETER'S.-RoM

We commenced the ascent BY winding
road paved with brick. 1t is sufficiently wide
to admit carriage and horses; and ladies', 1t
is said, have often rode up on mules. There
are no steps, and the fatigue OF ascending is
the same as that of toiling up steep hill
Emerging from this passage, on to the root,
a very extraordinary scene presented itself
to us. We found ourselves on large plain,
surrounded by domes in all directions. a
long.roofed shed extended along the centre

and unassuming. Man is great in action
woman in suffering. Man shines abroad
woman at home. Man talks to convince
woman to persuade and please. Man has
rugged heart-woman soft and tender one.
Man prevents misery-woman relieves it.
Man has sciencc-woman taste. Man has

If, when

The careful consort rules her household well,
Her husband governs with gentle sway,
And courts her lov'd embrace, what home-felt
JOY,
What inward comforts seize her raptur'd breast
But if he, scornful, Sights her converse sweet,
IT'S better for her far to die than live.
Man, when oppressed with black domestic cares,
Ranges abroad to seek relief, and meets
The fellowship of some companions dear;
But helpless, hapless woman, when denied
Those tender joys, which from her husbands
love
She Justly Claims, must seek it no where else.

Curious Historical FGcf.-During the
troubles in the reign of Charles the first. a
country girl came to I.ordon, in search OF
place as a servant mad, but not succeeding
she hired herself to carry out bear from IA
brew house, and was one ofthcsc called tub
wamen. The brewer observing good look
ing girl in this low occupation, took her in
to his family as servant; and after short
time married her; but he died while yet she
was young woman, and left her the bulk
Of his fortune. The business of the brewe-
ry was dropped, and 10 the young woman
was recommended Mr.. Hyde, as skilful
lawyer to arrange her husbands affairs
Hyde. who was afterwards the great Earl
of Clarendon, finding the widows fortune
very considerable. married her--of this mar
riagc there was no other issue than daugh.
ter, who was afterwards the wife of James
II. and mother of Mary and Anne, Queens
of England.

TIE LADIES, FRIEND.

Almost all women are captivated by talent;
especially those for whose pleasure, in par
ticular, its possessor may exert it. Nothing
can be more delightful to them, because no.
thing can be more flattering; and fiattery is
the key to all hearts. Want OF handsome
person, or even of good looks. is for the
most part forgotten, or willingly pardoned,
in the man of talent. The eye of woman
does not require to be dazzled as well as her
mind; Il speak of general instances.) The
same cannot be said of virtuous qualities
In SO much higher esteem does human vani-
ty hold talent than virtue. Good looks,
combined with vapd intellect. will win few
women, unless they are equally vapid with
the object of their admiration.

opinion, but, for that opinion We shall, another
day, give what appear to US to be very suos'a"-

To Mr.. VAN BuREN's elevation to higher OIL

we should have had no objection. In the last
Presidential Election he acted throughout WIN
6rmness and consistency. we should nave oeeh
