LADY JANE GRAY.

Ambition punished, seldom, excites pity !;
bot can tribute Of commiseration be re-
fused to beautiful woman, only seventeen
wears of age, who laid her head upon the
block to expiate tho ambition Of another !?
Such was the fate Of Lady Jane Gray -
A crown had no attractions for her--she
had no desire to reign! II seemed as il
this unfortunate and lovely young creature
felt her feet slip on the very steps Of that
throne which tho Duke of Northumber-
land forced her to ascend. A warning
presentiment told her that life of quiet
seclusion was the only means she had Of
escaping violent death. She long resist
ed the fatal counsel Of her father-in-law /;
but she was dragged on by her evil destiny.
Lady Jane Gray, born in 1887, was the
grand daughter of Mary Tudor, sister Of
Henry VIII. This princess, being left a
widow by the death Of her husband, Louis
XII. King Of France. and having no child
rem by this marriage, returned to England
and married Brandon, Duke Of Suffolk,
whom she had long loved, and who was
lady James grandfather. The subject Of
this memoir. when she was scarcely sixteen,
married Lord Guilford Dodiey. fonrth son
Of John Dudley. Duke Of Northumberland.
Lady Jane Gray was beyond measure love-
"; her features we're beautifully regular,
and her large and mild eyes were the re-
Election Of pure end energetic soul,
though peacefui and uDambiilous. She
had . strong passion for study, especially
Of abs,ruse science. Though young, she
had acquired vast learning. and was deeply
read 10 the ancients she was very famil-
iar with Greek, and extremely partial TO
Plato. Living as one Of her couniry seats,
she divided her time beiwson her books
and her husband, until political events Of
higI, Importance troubled her peaceful mind
and destroyed her happiness. 'r
Edward Seymour, Duke Of Somerset,
PROTECTORS Of England, exercised over that
coUusry o dsspoIic sway 10 which the mo-
blss would no longer sHbmis. The latter,
squsIly disguised with the pride Of Thorn.

THE MOUNTAIN DOCTOR.

wealthy farmer, much afflicted with hypocon-
drIa, went to Lang nau To consult Michael Scrip
pach, better known by the application o Mountain
Doctor.-"i have seven devils III my belly said
he no fewer than seven" replied the doctor with
the utmost gravity if you will count them right
you will find. "After questioning the paten' con-
cerng his case, he promised IL to him in eight
days, during which time he would each day rid him
ot one OF hls troublesome inmates the rate OF one

The farmer agreed to those terms, the bargain was
struck, and the doctor mpresslng upon all present
The necessity OF secrecy, promised give the nine
loulsd'"rs to the poor of the parish. Next morning
the imaginary demOnlac was brought to him. aud
placed near a machine, which he had never seen
before, which neanes he received i'm electric shock

STANZAS FOR MUSIC.

We parted in silence, We parted by night,
On the banks of that lonely river
Where the fragrant lines their boughs unite
We mct, and we parted forever.
The night-bird sang and the stars abovo
Told rIany touching story,
Offriends long past to the kingdom of love.
Where the soul wears its mantle Of glory.
We parted in silence-orir cheeks were wet
With the tears that were past controlling;
We vow'd we would never-no never forget
And those vows at the time were consoliug;
But lie lips tina, echoed the VOW of mine,
Are cold as that lonely river;
And that eye, the beautiful spirits shrine.
Has sbrouded its 6res forever.
And now on the midnight sky | look,
And my heart grows full to weeping;
Each star is TO me as q seated bOok
Some tale Of that loved one keeping.
We parted in silence, we parted in tears.
On the banks of that lonely river;
But the odour and bloom of those by-gonc years
Shall hang round its water forever.

A REFLECTION,

Round the idea of ones mother. the mad of man
clings with fond affection. 1t is the first deep
thought stamped upon our infant hearts, when yet
soft aud capable of receiving the profound m-
pressons and all the after feelings of the world are
more or less light in comparison. | do not know
that even IN our old age do look ba * to that
feeling, as the sweetest we have enjoyed. Our pas
sions aud our willnlness may lead far from the
object of our filal luvc learn even to pain her
heart to oppose her wishes, violate her commands
we may become wild aud heads,rong, and angry at
her counsels or opposition but when death has still
ed the monltory voice, and nothing but calm menu
ory remains to recapItulate her virtues and good
deeds, affection llne flower beaten to the ground
by past storm, raises up her head, and smiles IL
mongst the tears. Round that idca AS we have
said, the mind clngs with fond affection; and even
when the early period of our loss forces memory to
be silent, fancy takes The place of remembrance and
twines the image of our dead parent with garland
OF graces and beauties and virtues, which we doubt
not that she possessed.

in regard to the arrangement for the double duel
I insisted on my right to engage Benson prior to my
brother, my quarrel was the oldest. To this the
friend Of Benson replied that the provocaton given
to his principal by Walter were of such nature as
TO admit of no delay in the satisfaction he deman-
ded that, were he to engage first, fortune might
put it out of his power To wipe out the foul stain
winch his honor had received, and he must then re-

be attended with no dishonorablc consequences 10
neither Of US, neither hid suffered any thing that
was derogaiory to our character. Walter joined
this reasoning, and insisted on first opposing his
adversary. "The quarrel said he, "which was
forced upon my friend was intended for me I am
well aw,re of the malignant intentions which were
entertained against me- aud their cause,-and il was

OLD SONGS.

Give me the songs | loved to hear.
In sweet and sunny days yore;
Which came in gushes to my ear,
From lips that breathe them now no more
From lips, alas on which the worm,
In coied and dusty silence lies
Where many a loved, lamented form,
Is hid from Sorrows filling eyes.
Yes when those unforgoiten lays
Come trembling with spirit voice,
I mind one Of those early days,
When to respire, was to rejoice!
When glad some flowers and fruitage shone
Whereer my willing footstep fell
When Hopes bright realm was all mine own,
And Fancy whspered-" All is WE'LL"
Give me old songs They stir my heart,
As with some glorious trumpet-tone;
Beyond the reach of modern art
They rule the thrilling cords alone.--
Till, on the wings Of thought, | fly,
Back TO the boundary of bliss.
Which once beneath my childhoods sky,
Embraced scene Of loveliness,
Thus when the portals of mine ear,
Those long-remembered lays receive,
They seem like guests, whose voice cheer,
My breast, and bid it MOTTO grieve;
They ring in cadences ofove,--
They tell OF dreams now vanished all;
Dreams that descended from above
Vision. It's rapture TO recall
Give me old songs I know not why,
But every tone they breathe to me,
Is fraught with pleasures, pure and high
With honest love, or hon st glee:
They move me, when by chance hear
They rouse each slambering pulse anew;
Till every scene in Memory dear
Is pictured brightly to my view.
do not ask those sickIy lays.
Der which affected maidens bend;
Which scented fops are bound to praise
To which dull crowds their homage lend:
Give me some simple Scottish song,
Or lays from Erns distant isle:
Lays that to Love and Truth belong,
And cause.-the saddest lip to smile.
