Nor has time passed by the empress of
tho world. Rome too has tumbled from
her lofty height, and is comminglipg with
heroic earth. Her delapidated temples,
her regal monuments and wasting columns
have Welded TO the incossant action OF de-
cav. The 'dust OF oblivion is gathering
on her grandeur, and naught but the wav-
ing grass signs over the half forgotten
graves of her heroes. The passing stran-
ger fingers but TO gaze and sigh, alas
such is the stamp Of fate'--such the train
of woes which have lurked beneath the
wings of time. The idle winds now sport
along this waste, and the blackening tenn
pest sweeps upon her desolated affairs; all
these speak to the heart, and draw forth
tears OF pity from the lonely pilgrim, as
he stops to gaze upon tho ruins Of the
once mighty Rome.
1t is thus the noblest works of man per
ish beneath the breath oil ages. II is thus
the lofty monuments which seemed &c
court the heavens have crumbled and are
no more. And it is thus we have seen
that power, glory and dominion, which
warriors have vainly sought, fade away
and from their pursuers, and cheat them
of the idle visions they so closely followed
And even to us, those scenes of carly
days, in which expanding beings moved
around which chung some Kindred tics, an,
to which tho ripper mind roverts wit
sweetest joy,
Must fade in memorys view,

MY MOTHERS GRAVE.

remember wildly the circumstance OF
her departure. Consumption had already
done its powerful work. Unlike many who
arc smitten with this disease, she prefer
red to die in the bosom of her family.-
Why should the stag, pierced to the heart
in its own thickets seek refuge in the dee
err glades, 10 bleed to death! 1t is a wrong
idea, this, Of searching in land of stran-
gers for health which is 'clean gone for
ever How many are thus yearly cut
down in the midst of their wanderings? In
some desoate chamber they lie in the
agonics of death. No soft hand presses
their brow; no familiar voice whispers in
the car; no cherished friend performs their
funeral obsequics. Death is indeed bitter,
under such circumstances, being without
its usual alterations. II is a sweet con-
ISOLATION to die at home:
"0n some fond breast the parting soul relies,
Some pious drops the closing eye requires;
Even from the tomb the voice of nature cries,
Even in our ashes live their wontcd fires"
There is some thing dreadful, yet beau
tiful in consumption. 1t comes stealing
on so softly and 20 silently. 1t comes.

and clothes its victims in beautiful gar

could believe that these were deaths pre-

invests the patient with a pretnrnatural
patience and sweetness under suffering.
keeping alive, at the same time, in her
breast, the allusion of hope. Even in her
moments of keenest suffering, she looks
forward to DAYS of returning happiness;
and while the worm is forever preying at
the core, and her slender form becomes
each dav more feeble and alternate, she
halls before her gildcd prospect, and the
mind and spirits are bnovant with the
thought. But when the final struggle has
commenced, how sublime is the spectacle!
To behold the immortal mind so calm, so
tranquil and so triumphant; waxing brigh-
ter and brighter. while the tenement
which contains it is but a poor ficshless
skeleton; to behold the eye bcamlng with
undiminished lustre towards the objects
of its affection, until the soul at last burs
ting the charnal vault which has too long
confined it, takes one triumphant bound.
Then is the body still and silent. The
feather is unrufiled BY the breath, and the
glass retains It's polish for dust has re-
turned to dust again, and the spirit unto
God who gave it,

A world is at our feet, as fragile as our clay. "
Few subjects present 30 ample field
for rational contomplation--so broad and

it is natural, ii is right that they shol'd
md that the mind should dwell with in
creasing interest on the transient exist

Every one around us is yisibIy marked
with the touch Of decay, from the mInut-

the smallest pebble to the grandcst orb OF

ana progressive energies bcsPcak the
bright moments Of childhood, changes into
the hoary sire, and burrics 10 the bosom o.
his God.
The proudest warrior that drives Inc
maddening wheels of war, that rends the
hattlements of kingdoms and sternly tram

DAYS. Nations, whose thunderDolts OF pow

whirlwinds of war, and are enton7bed in
the stiffness of an endless night. Cities

Such is the fate Of man--such have been

brood over the wide waters olthe sPoiler:
over the congregated dust of empress
Impressed with what feeling dove survey
the gloomy magnfcence of PALMYRA! Her

depopulated. Like some dark speck on the
distant shore of Time, they stand up
on the waste. but sad mementocs OF what
they should commemorate:
"Thy form, pale city Oftho waste, appears
Like some faint vision Of departed years"
With what thrilling sensations do we
contemplate the splendid ruins Of Perse-

grandeur with her fallen wretchedness,
and not feel his bosom thrill with the most
lively emotions. What field for rational

How CHEEKY are the Mariners
Those lovers of the seal
Their hearts are like its yeasty waves,
As bounding and as free.
They whistle when the storm-bird wheels
In circles round the mast;
And sing when deep in foam the ship
Ploughs onward 10 the blast.
What care the mariners for gales1
There's music in their roar,
When wide the birth along the lee,
And leagues Of room before,
Let pillows toss to mountain heights,
Or sink 70 chasms low:
The vessel stout will ride it out,
Nor reel beneath the blow.
WITH streEmers down and canvass fuIlod
The gallant hull Will float
Securely, as on inland lake

And sound asleep some mariners.
And some with wstchful ayes
win fearless be of dangers dark
That rolls along the skies.
God kecp those CHEEKY mariners!
And temper ali the gales

To their storm-shattercd sails;
AND men on shore will bless the chip
