FROM Bs%+"" S"*"* IN HEAVEN
Weep not, mother look above thee!
Rend the veil thathides the skies!
See thy child who still may love thee!
Upward, mother, raise thine eyes!
See my robe Of dazzling splendour;
Charms it not thy ravished gaze?
And that face-let angels wonder!
You my mother sing His praise.
Weep not, father; list and hear it
Sweetest music floats along
And if mortal ears can bear it,
Hearken to that glorious song.
Hear it, brothers-heaven is ringing!
Loud and clear those anthems roll
Kindred spirits soft are singing,
Welcome, welcome, sister soul )"
Weep not, sisters; why should sorrow
Brood forever Ger it's prey?
Burst the cloud and you shall borrow
Light divine to cheer your way.
Though my home is now in Heaven,
Still I'm near to calm your fears;
Yes! to me that boon is given,,
So, dear sisters, dry your tears.

Loud, loud the winds are blowing,
And loud the pillows roar;
Full swiftly we are going
From our dear native shore.
The landscape sinks behind us,
As DER the deep we fly
The waters roar beneath us,
And lightnings rend the sky.
Now louder peals Of thunder
Come crashing on our ear,
And we are filed with wonder,
Dsquetude, and fear.
All nature seems in anger
To mock our rising fears;
And rudely blows the tempest,
Despite Of cries and tears.
Deep murmurs fill the heavens
With most terrific sound,
And every soul around US
In horrors chain is bound.
All earthly help has vanished,
And death to each seems NIGH
Each lifts his voice to Heaven
In broken, suppliant cry.
"Oh God, in mercy save us,
Thy power we all confess,
Oh calm these raging waters,
Andwe thy name will Bless
"Thou canst controul The tempest
BY thine own sovereign will
Say to the winds around US,
~ bid thee peace-be STILL"
The winds are hushed around us,
The waters cease 10 roar;-
Now smoothly we are gliding
From our dear native shore. T.

BURIAL OF THE sUB-TREAsURY BILL.
Not drum was heard, nor funeral note,
As over the rampar.s we hurried"
Not word was said, not speech was made,
the Bill through the House was hurried,
No kindly conservative came to our aid,
As our favorite measure was buried.
The question was taken in silence and tears,
Or only disturbed by our sobbng,
While terrible doubts and awful fears
In the hearts Of the faithful were throbbing.
No useless amendment encountered the Bill,
NO previous question upon u,
Twas laid on the table deserted and still,
Precisely asst came from the Senate.
Sadly we counted the nays 10 the last,
And the absent ones strove to remember;
We said not word of elections just passed.
But we bitterly thought Of Nouember.
We thought Of the time when The wings of tho banks
Should be in our Offices seated;
Each allied conservative fed from our ranks,
And the poor loco focos defeated.
Harsh truths they will tell of us when we are gone,
And bet,er men sit 10 our places;
But little we'll care, il they II let lbs hold on
To the gold we've secured in our purses.
But half the great task Of corruption is done,
Yet the people arouse from their slumbers;
Oh could we but finish the work we've begun,
IT'S little we'd care for their numbers.
We said not word in defence oft, there,
We were not ito tell the truth able;
But we rose from our seats in silent despair,
And left it alone on the table.

In her native village there were two or
phans who, on the death Of their parents,
depended on the bounty of some distant re-
Iativcs. The eldest girl,was several years
older than her brother. poor SICILY boy,
who relied solely Oh his sister for those ne

turb yourself; such old friends ought not
+ TO stand upon ceremonies"
The crusader made him low bow, say
ing. tina, the devil really had the advantage
OF HIM, and that he was not aware of having
the pleasure of his acquaintance.
Not personally, indeed, said The devil
but YOU have done me so much service one
way or another, that owe YOU some re-
turn. You stare. my dear sir, but YOU have
sent 10 my dominions with your own hand,
three ndthlrly Saracens, two rcncgades,
and an atheist Between YOU and me- IL is
all the same 10 me- said the devil, of hat
religion they are, SO that have them safe
and now have got to give you piece OF
news, and make you proposal
And then the devil - whether il was that
he does not paironze love of any kind, or
whether he thought that the marchioncss
had had enough OF il TO answer his purpose,
or what, don't know, but he told the mar
gus, that as he had neither returned nor
sent during seven wears, his wife was that
very night going to give her hand 10 the OBJ
noxlous baron, and he further offered TO
carry him back instantly to his own chateau
IN the Pyrenees, if they could agree on the
terms
This iickled the marquiss fancy, but the
devil was rather cShorbltant demanding the
knights heart and soul. The crusader re-
Piled that his heart was his kings, and his
soul was his Gods, and so that would not
do. The devil thea asked for all his wealth
at his death, and TO DC instantly Installed
his chaplain, if he could prove that he had
orders. The marquis answered. 'LhGbf ne
taif pGg le moiac The devil then made sew
cral other proposals, but the knight WINS q
sticklcr, and did not think bad wife worth
much. So at last the devil took off his hat,
saying, what your honor pleases, leaving
IT to his own generosity and the crusader,
who had learned 10 be screw, SAID he
would only give him the remainder of his
supper.
You are a hard man. said the devil but
never mind Jump up = and down he bent
his back for the marquis 10 mount. The
knight sprang into the seat, stuck his knees
into the devils sides, and away they went
like a flash Of lightning till they arrived at
the chateau, where they put the good PEG
pie in no small confusion. The knight walk
ed first and the devil came after, and all the
servants ran into the banquet hall, crying,
the marquis marquis " Up jumped the
baron, up Jumped the guests.
The marqus's movements were rather
rapid. lie walked into the hall, claimed
his wife, kicked the baron, wished the com
pany good night, overturned the supper Ia
bic and spoiled the supper, so that when
order was restored and he called for some
thing TO eat. there was nothing to be had
but dozen Of nuts and bottle of wine
The knight cracked the nus but, according
TO his bargain, took care to throw the shells
over his shoulder for the devil, and when he
drank his wine, threw the bottle behind hin
too; but the devil was too old a bind TO be
caught with chah, and had been gone hal
an hour before. So the crusader pulled OF
his boots and went 10 bcd.

This medicine is highly recommended, and has
been extensively used in the above diseases with
shch distinguished success, that the proprietor of
the recipe has been induced TO offer it to the pub
lie in its present form the hope that it may be
the means of relieving many OF those who are
suffering under the scourge of country. 1t is
medicine possessing great yirtuo, aud when used
according to the directions has never failed of
efecting cure, oven in tho most obstinate stage
of the disorder. 1t is at oil disagrceabe, and
persons of the weakest stomach, and children may
take it with impunity. itstrengthens the digestive
organs, creates an appetite, and seldom requires
more than one, or in obstinate cases, two bottles
to effect cure. There is neither mercury nor
arsenic in the medicine, nor any thing injurious
to the human constitution. The propretors are
so well convinced of its efficacy, that they agree
to refund the price of every bottle which has been
takon in accordance with the directions and has
not effected perfect cure of the fever & aguc.
