been born blind, upon receiving his
sigh. at twenty years OF age, by the
operations Of a skilful Ocullst.
"The operator, DR.. Grant, having
observed the eyes of his patient, and
convinced his relatives and friends that
it was highly probable he could remove
the obstacle which prevented his sight,
all his acquaintance, who had any Gu
rosity to be present, when one of full
age and understanding was to receive
a new sense, assembled themselves on
the occasion, but were desired to OBJ.

And must we part how sad aud still
How very needful il appears;
Although the careless enes may smile
Wen meet again, free from our tears
! wonder not that grief should swell,
And rise so rudeiy IN the breast;
That that strong passion should rebel,
Which cannot, cannot be Suppressed
wonder not that Friendships eyes,
When gazing thus, grow red and swim,
That burning tears, and rending sighs,
Are blended with the farewell hymn.
Our spirits take that noble part,
And weep when social comforts fly,
For Christ would scorn frozen heart,
That melts not when those pleasures de-
And vet, why mourn our absent friends,
As though we ne 'cr should meet again;
Far Heaven shall make US full amends,
With endless union, free from pain
For think not that our friendship here,
Shall wither like summers flower;
II springs from Heaven, and shall adhere
When time and sorrow are no more,
Thrice happy who the image bear,
That likeness which was free from sin;
Who live to shine like morning stars,
Shall be with the redeemed shut IN.
Then let the burdened heart be free,
Those tears Of sorrow all be shed,
And Friendship calmly bow to see
The perfect will Of Christ our head.
Once more, gaze-and wandering far,
Yon mountains, oft by lightning riyen'
And streams, shall separate us, still
We wage our upward way to Heaven

On loving friends so dear 10 me,
Tia almost more than can bear,
But stern fate DEGREES, and obey.
But oh that look is not the last

MARIA Monk. We stated, more
than a year ago, that we had been re-.
quested to prepare her manuscripts for
the press, exposing her own imposture
and the conduct OF her Clique in this
city. Subsequently, and since We
have made any publication upon the
subject, Marin Monk has voluntarily
made a full confession, to Protestant
clergyman, a friend Of ours, under cir
cumstanees Of manicst sincerity, Of
the whole imposture, and all the par
ticulars, before the inception of the plot,
during It's progress, and to the end
The details Of the story, she says,
were chiefly arranged from the leading
character Of the questions put TO her
by the precious concern who had her
IN keeping in this city. These ques.
tons, endless in number, and Of every
form and character, constituted the
web upon which, from time TO time,
she wove her tissue lies.
But even this is not all: Since Ma
ria made three confessions, she covered
her friends and abettorS with shame
and confusion by giving birth to ano,h-
er child The circumstances render
ed it impossible for her to charge tina
second result Of illicit love upon Father
Phelan, and SO she chose to cast the
paternity upon one other special friends
in this city--a gentleman, by the way,
whose eyes had been previously open
cd, and who il just as innocent in the
matter as Father Phelan himself.
Nor yet is this oil. The celebrated
Miss Partridge, the other ruro yestal
introduced to the writer Of this artiele,
by the head Of the famous committee.
with Maria Monk, he's also since be-
come an unmarried mother With
these facts we take leave Of the subject,
as we trust, forever.--N Y. Gem.
