THE DYING MAIDEN TO HER LoyEI

He cursed all nature and himself-then died
THE DYING MAIDEN TO HER LOVER.
by MISS RESsIE.
THEY tell me, love, that must do
That soon this faint and quiycring breath
Must fail cen thy dear name to sigh,
And pause in death.
Oh joy, to think spirit, crush'd
AAi bruised like mine. shall pass TO peace;
Then let thy sorrows all be hushd
Thy muvmurs cease.
The ball which strikes the wounded bird,
The storm which fetls che biighted tree,
Are blows dealt forth by Mercy's word
SO Death to me.
Heed not the idle tongues, which tell
Twas thou who f6rInd my early tomb
Twas f,-l loyod, for life, too well,
And wrought my doom.

But had msrs'd the spot, and creep,

He who had once gone forth upon the earth
In his destroying majesty--whose sword
To victory was vcd-whose awful nod
Proclaimed the fall of thrones, or babe them rise
Who from his lofty pillar in the clouds
Beheld the nations crouching at his feet,
Der dazzlcd by his br'ghtnes,--now within
The narrow circuit Of lonely isle
Sadly repo,od his reign of might was DER,
His glory had departed. He was calm
As is the bosom of an unstrrd lake,
Oershadsd by the mountain, and men looked
Upon the fallen conqusror, and deemed
His spirit waa at rest yet on his brow
Were gravon deep, anfathomablc thoughts,
That tho unssIllei 5eholdsr could not scan,
WHch were at war with peace; for his not
Tho healthtul rost that waits wcariness.
The sullen sumbor Of some fiery food
That vainly strovs Co hcave the rocks aside,
Thon chaios itself until it be consumed,-
Such resi- WAS his-Sil joyless and unblcst.
Yet in his sleep his spirit wandered forth
Der scenes departed nightly did he dream
OF thrsn.ing logions rushing to the fight
Oi battles rage, and victorys loud voce-
OF riding forth upon the whirwind's blast
Grasping dostruction-of pale, shrinking foes,
Quailing beneath the tcrrors ofhis wrath
OF triuIuphs dsot.n ing stout-of crowned kings,
BENDING thor head. before him in the dust
Of universal sway, the idle dream
That lured him To his ruin then he wake
TO darkness, silsnce, namcless misery,
Feeling afrssh the horrors OF his fall
And, in hs lone AMI utter helps.5ness,
Weep tears of blood. His midnight ayonics
Wero all unknown, and man beheld them not
His pride, That stili dwelt with him in his fail,
Know how to- veil them from the vulgar ken.
Ambition was his ido--lust of power
Had maddoned him, until he blindly deemed
That he should hold the living world in chuins,
And men should bow, before him as a god.
With the hoarss murmurs Of the mighty sea

A gentleman of Charleston, S. G. endeav-
ours to account for the visitation of the yell
low fever to that city. He states, as facts,
that in the summer of 1927 the water in the
wells, cellars, &c. of the city, was ten feet
above low water mark, and the fever was
universal: while in the sumner of 1926 it was
only six feet above the mark, and the city
was quite healthy. He contends that such
an immense body of water, exposed to the
action of a vertical sun, has always been ac-
companied by the fever, in greater or less
degree, as the water was higher or lower
He proposes to have small drains and sewers
constructed, to carry off the water when 1t
reaches certain height.
A gentleman in Havana states, that muir

sion, were held the Monday aud Tuesday proceed
ang the Commencement. On the former day an ad-
dress was delivered before the Society of Christian
Research, in the chapel by VIM. Twining of the The
illogical Seminary On the latter day, an Grafton be-
fore the Phi Beta Kappa Society was pronounced by
VIM. Maxwell, Esq. of New York. The exercises Of
Wednesday were spoken of as having been generally
, of high and interesting character.
The degree of A. B. was conferred upon eighty two
young gentlemen members of the late Senior Glass;
The degree of A. M; was conferred upon forty-nine
former graduates. The degree Of NJ. d. was confer
red on thiry-one gentlemen, members OF the medical
department Some honorary degrees were also con-
ferred. The number of strangers present is said to
have been unusually great; and the prospects Of We
~ large Freshmen class were never more promising
than at the present time-strong proof that the late
thoughtless rebellion has operated to the injury of
ths venerable institution but that the contrary it
has raised it up many and valuable supporters.
