''''II''l THE OLGO.

Green be the turf above thee,
 Friend of my better days, None knew thee but to love thee, None nam'd thee but to praise. Tears fell when thou vert dying
 From eyes unns'd to weep; And often, where thou rt iying,
 Will tears thy green bed steep. When hearts whose home is Heaven, Like thine has left the earth, Ti,ero should a wreath be woven, To tell the world their worth: And mine the task to braid 1t
 Around thy faded hrow, But in vain l have essay'd it--

C.on,reTs Gyond- Chi1d.--Mrs. Ben dysh, the grand daughter of Oliver Cromwell, when child of only six years Of age, frequently sat between his knees when he held Lis cabinet councils. and that on the most important affairs When some of the ministers objected to her being present, there was no se- cret he would trust with any of them. that lie could not trust with that infant. To prove that his confidence was not mistaken, he one day told her something ~in confidence, under tile charge of se- screcy, and then urged her mother and Egrand-mother to extort it from her by promises, and caresses andbribes. These failing, threatnings and severe whip ping were tried to extort the secret from her, but she bore it all with the most dispassionate firmness, expressing he, duty to her mother, but her still greater duty to keep her promise of secercy te Ther grand-fatI,er,sand not.to betray the confidence reposed in her.
