but it was too much, and he would not
endure it. lie had told Henry she was

would not forfeit his word but perhaps,
added he, apparently recalling himself,
and turning to Henry, "perhaps we shall
have to defer it, after all, for you have
important business in the country about
that time"
"Be mercifnl, SIR" said Henry smil-

flee of my own happiness"

THE LITTLE FOOT.

Ny Boy, as gentle on my breast,
From infant sport thou sinll'st 10 rest.
And on my hand feel thee put,
In playful dreams, thy little foot,
The thrilling touch sets every string
OF my full heart quiyerng;
For, ah! ! think, what chart can show,
The ways through which this foot may go'
lis print will be, in childhood's hours,
Traced in the garden, round the flowers;
But youth will bid it leap the rilIs--
Battle in the dews of distant hills
Roam o er the wales, and venture out,
When ripper years would pause and doubt,
Nor brave the pass, nor try tho brink
" here youths ungarded foot may sink
But what, when manhood tints thy cheek,
Will be the ways this foot may SEEK
IL it to lightly pace the decki
To, helpless, slip from off the wreck;
Or wander o'er foreign shore,
Returning TO thy home no more,
Until the bosom, now thy pillow,
Is low and cold beneath the willow
Or is it for the battles plain'
Beside the slayer and the slain
Till there its final step be taken'
There, sleep thine eye, no more to wak.n!
Is it to glory, or to shame
To sully, or 10 gid thy name
Is 1t to happiness or wo,
This little foot is made to go'
But wheresoe'er its lines may fall.
Whether in cottage or in hall;
o, may IT ever shun the ground
Where'er His foot hath not been found,
Who on his path below hath shed
living light, that all may tread
Upon his earthly steps; and none
Fer dash thy foot against stone
Yet thy way is mark'd by fate.
As guilty, dark and desolate,--
Ifthou must float by vice and crime,
A wreck, upon the stream oftime,
oh, rather than behold that day,
I'D know this foot, in lightsome play,
Would bound with guitless, infant see
Upon the sod that shelters me.

THE AFRICAN CHIEF.

luE N RltAN StilET.
sY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, rsQ.
CHAINED in: he market place he stood.
A man Of giant frame,
Amid the gathering multitude
That shrunk te hear his name.
All stern of look and strong of limb,
j lis DARK eye on the ground
And silently they gazed on him
As on lion bound.
Vainly, but well, that chief had fought,
lie was a captive now:
Yet pride, that fortune humbles not,
Was written on hi. brow.
The scars his dark broad bosom wore,
Showed warrior true and brave:
A prince among his tribo before,
lie could not he a slave.
Then TO his conqaerer he spoke--
MY brother is king:
Undo this necklace from my neck,
And take this bracelet ring;
And send me where my brother reisns,
And will fill thy hands
With store Of ivory from the plains,
And gold dust from the sands
moi for thy ivory nor thy gold
viii unbind thy chains;
That bloody hand shall never hold
Tho battle spear again.
A price thy nation never ssve,
Shall vet be paid for thee;
For thou shalt be the Christians slave,
Ia lands beyond the sea.
Then spoke the warrior chief, and bads
To shred his locks away,
And, one by one, each heavy braid
Before the victor lay
Thick were the plated locks and long,
And defIy hidden there.
Shone many wedge Of gold among
The dark and crisped hair
Look! feast thy greedy ewes with gold,
Long kept for forest need;
Take it, thou nskest sums untold,
And say that I am freed
Take tiny wife, the iye-long day,
Weeps by the cocoa-tree,
And my young children leave their play,
And ask in vain for me.
Il take thy gold, bu, have made
Thy fetters fast and strong;
And when that by the cocoa shade
Thy wife shall wal, thee long.
Strong was the agony tha, shook
The caPtive's frame 10 hear,
And the proud meaning of hi, look
Was changed TO mortal fear.
His heart was brokcn--cra2ed hi. brain,
At once his eve grew wild,
lie struggled fercely with hi, chain,
Whispered, and wcpt, and smiled?
Yet wore not long those fatal bands:
Aud once at shut of day,
They drew him forth upon the sand,
The foul hyena's prey.
