 Blake, tke Art,st's We When he was six-and-twenty years old, he married Katharine Boucher, a young woman oi humble connexions-the dark-eyed Kate of several of his lyric poems. She lived near his fathers house, and was noticed by Blake for the wilderness of her hand, the brightness of her eyes, and a slim and handsome shape, corresponding with hi. own notion of sylphs and naiads. As lie was an original in all things, it would have been out of character to fall in love like an ordinary mortal. He was describing one evening in company the pains he had suf- fered from some capricious lady or another, when Katharine Boucher said, "I pity you from my heart." Do you pity nle,'' said Blake, "then I love you for that" "And love you," said the frank hca, ted lass, and so the courtship began. He tri- ed how we'll she looked in drawing; and then how her charms became verse, and finding, moreover, that she had good do- mestic qualities, he married her. j }
 They lived together long and happily. She seems to have boon created on pure pose for Blake. She believed him to De the finest genius on earth she believed in his verse-she believed in his designs ]; and to the widest flights ofhis Imagination she bowed the knee, and was,a woyshipper. She set his house in good order, prepared luis frugal meal, learning to think us he thought, and, indulging him in his harmless absurdities, became, as it were, bone of his bone, flesh ofhis flesh. She learned what a young and handsome woman is sel- dom apt to learn-to despise gaudy dres- ses, costly meals, pleasant company, and agreeable invitations--she found out the way of being happy at home, living on the simplest of food, and contended with the homeliest of clothing. 1t was no ordina- " mind that could do all this; and she whom Blake emphatically called his be-, wrought or m the press tho in,sssssa She his plates; she coloured tnr's' Y essilons or and light hand made drawings much m the spirit of her husbands compositions, and almost rivalled him in all things, save in the power which he possessed ot seeing visions of any individual living or dead, whenever he chose to see them.
 While politicians strive for office and empire; while Fanny Wright lectures for proselytcs and fame and worldly-mind- edness seeks for wealth; the world, should we judge from the newspapers, and the O. pinions of some, is given up almost wholly to sel6shness and strife. have a better opinion of the world, and deny that 1t de- serves the character. A thousand good deeds pass by without notices while one bad action will fill two columns in twenty newspapers. Forty guod boys may go qni- etly to school and learn their lessons exci- ting no notice; while one little saucy, noi- sy rascal may disturb the whole neighbor- hood. No, no, the world has great deal of good in it. have just been taking q ride round the country. Henry the 4th o
 Trance--you remember his wish in behalf of his people Our farmers are far haPpii' CT than even his wishes would have made the monsieurs. What comfortable farm houses What large and full barns Wha sleek, well fed stock The cellars butteries--.he drawers--how full of com fortable stores-z-every good thing to eat bdrink and wear. And then-I used when young fellow to think another race oi girls could never be so handsome. Poh, l have seen three generations come up into blooming, blushing courting time, and real- ly think they grow prettier, handsomer, more interesting. The lads, thepgh not | quite so good looking as we were in our prime, arc yet very passable, fine fellows. Happy days to you, youths of both sexes Bliss be on your bridal, and health and plenty on your matured days. Aye, aye there is affair share of comfort in the worlt yet; in this part of it any how. So don' believe the whole world is given up te contention and avarice.
