THE CHILD's FIRST GRIEF.

BY MRS. HEMANs.
&c OH call my brother back to me,
cannot play alone;
The summer comes, with flower and bee
Where Is my brother gomez
'' The Butterfly is glancing bright
Across the sunbeam's track:
I care not now to chase its flight
OH call my brother back!
"The flowers run wld-the flowers we sowed
Around our garden-tree;
Our vine is dropping with its load
Oh! call him back TO me!''
He would not hear my voice, fair child,
He may not come TO thee,
The face that once like spring-time smil'd,
On earth no more thou'lt see.
CA roses brief, bright life of Joy
Such unto him was giyen;-
Co thou must play alone, my boy!
Thy brother is in heaven"
And has he left his birds and flowers
And must call in vain,
And through the long long summer hours
Will he not come again
And by the brook, and in the glade,
Are all our wanderings o'er'-
Oh! while my brother with me play'd,
Would | had loy'd him more!"

So lady, do we often see
The morn of matrimonial life
All smiles, all JOY, all gaiety,
Its noon obscured by feuds and strife.
But would you know charm of power
To assure the sunshine of the heart,
To break the tempests that will lower,
To blunt the point of discord's dart
BEAR AND FoRBEAR!-no wiser given
Than this short rule, which, practised well,
Makes marriage e'en on earth heay'n;
Neglected-turns it to hell.

BY MISS ELIZA HEhNlE.
He came not with the glittering sword,
He came not with the spear,
Nor brandsh'd weapon IN his hand
To bid the lovely fear.
The bloom of youth was on his cheek
And sparked in his eye;
But shrolded in his youthful soul
Were thoughts Of darkest dye!
He gsappled not with foes, nor sought
The battles stormy heat,
Where the conquered and the conqueror find
A CORY windng-sheet;
Oh better that in combat he
Had hml'd deaths fatal blow,
Than aim'd at woman's trusting breast
The shaft which laid her low!
He came to her with gentle words,
And smiled loves witching smile;
She could not deem meath all his VOWS,
There lurk d the faint of guile.
For none could look on him, and think
That he too would deceive;
And none could see her angel form,
And think that she must grieve.
But soon, his solemn oaths forgot,
He left her to her doom;
Nor reck d if wrong and falsehood led
The guiltless to her tomb.
She struggled on, but dark and drear
Her young life crept away;
She saw each hope proved false by time,
Each link with JOY decay
She faded fast, vet silently,
As flowers beneath the blast;
She breathed no murmur, shed no tear,
But loved him to the last
= l. L.. -
Who closed her azure eye;
She loved when death gnaw'd at her heart,
And bless'd with hfe's last sigh!

From the FORGET Ne Not.
ON A CHILD KILLED BY LIGHTNING

BY JOHN CLARE.
As fearless as a cherub's rest
Now safe above the cloud,
A babe lay on its mothers breast,
When thunders roar'd aloud.
II started not to hear the crash,
But held its little hand
Up at the lghtning's fearful flash,
To catch the burning brand.
The tender mother held her breath,
In more than grief awhile,
To think, the thing that brought its death
Should cause her babe TO smile
Ay, it did smile heavenly smile,
To see the lightning play;
Well might she shrek when it turn'd pale,
And yet it smiled in clay.
o womanl the dread storm was given
To be TO each friend:
II took thy infant pure to heaven,
Left thee. impure, to mend.
Thus Providence will oft appear
From Gods own mouth to preach;
All! would we were as prone to hear
As Mercy is to teach!

THE MATRIMONIAL RULE.

,cRIBED IN THE ALBUM YOUNG LADY on THE

IT'S morning!-o'er the new-waked earth
The sun his brightest radiance filings,
And nought is heard save sounds of mirth,
And all around with gadness rings,
Anon light clouds begin to rise,
While eddying breezes sweep along;
Dark, and more dark, they veil the skies,
And storm-wnds drown the voice of song.

Fate has pronounced throughout all time,
This world IL not q Heaven!
Why toll for honor, wealth or fame,
Our hearts 20 dross so given
These, as they pass, one truth proclaim,
This world is not Heaven
Why do we part with Friendship rare,
For those less kindly thriven'
They mock our hopes and then declare
This world is not heaven :.
Why do we still blind Fortune sue,
Our schemes so often fivens
She lures to cheat, then proves how true
