in spring, so true would my mother rise.

iowerseeds on the grave. The grass came
green in this burying ground long ago; and
! watched every day for the flowers, and to-
day they have come up too-see them break
ing through the ground-by and by nanny
will come again"
A smile Of exulting hope played on the
features Of The boy; and Ifelt panied at dis
turbing the faith and confidence with which
he was animated.
But my little child" said l. sit is not
here that your poor mother will RISE"
Yes, here" said he, with emphasis, here
they placed her, and here have come ever
since the first blade Of grass was green this
year"
looked around and saw thar the tiny feet
OF the child had trod out the heritage at the
grave side, SO constant had been his attend

the form of her only son bending fearful, but
hoping, over her gravel
But, William" said I, sit is in another
world that she will arise,'-and attempted
to explain to him the nature Of that promise
which he had mistaken. The child was con-
fused. and he appeared neither pleased nor
satisfied.

And he did. In month William ceased

and placed his little coffin on hers---it was the
only wish the child expressed in dying.
Better teachers than had instructed him in !
the way to meet his mother; and young as
the little sufferer was, he had learned that all
labors and hopes Of happiness, short of Hea-

earnest Such suppers Udc is the cook,
or rather the director, for he rarely operates
himself The actual value Of the wines in
Crockford's cellar, (Which runs under and
across ST. James's street) is now 8SO,OOO
This cellar is nearly 300 feet long, and con-
tains nearly half million bottles Of wine. |
do believe that at Crockford's and Bonds
there is no unfair play. What is called the
"turn Of the table" yields the profit. This
must be large, as the expenses at Crockford's
are a 81 900 week, and about G500 at
Bonds The points" in favor Of the Bank,
d. e. OF the owner Of the concern,) are 100
per cent. per stake each hour, on French
hazard. If RlOOO stakes were risked each
time, $1,000 per hour would be lost by the
PLAYERS, without their having shadow Of
chance against it. Say that the play was 80
hours per week, the Bank would win ESQ.,
900 week.
The hell kept by the Bonds is in ST.
James's street and called the Athenaum. The
expenses are said to be from R5O0 to e 900
week the profits average from R5O00 to
10000 week. 1t is said that Crockford
is worth half million sterling, and that the
Bonds are worth half that, At their private
tables are peers and commoners.

THE STEAMBOAT.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, ESQ.
See how yon flaming herald ireads
The ridges and rolling waves,
As crashing DER their crested heads,
She bows her surly slaves
With foam before aud fire behind,
She rends the clinging sea,
That flies before the roaring wind
Beneath her kissing lee.
The morning spray, like sea-born flowers,
With heaped and glistening bells,
Fails round her fast, in ringing showers,
With every wave that swels
And flaming DER the midnight deep,
Ia lurid fringes thrown,
The living gems Of ocean sweep
Along her flashing zone.
With clashing wheel, and lining keel,
And smoking torch on high
When winds are loud, and pillows reel,
She ihunders foaming byl
when seas are silent and serene,
With even beam she gli,fes, a.-s'
The sunshine glimmering through the green
That skirts her cleaning sides.
Now, like wild nympb, far apart
She wells her shadowy form,
The beating Of her restless heart
Still sounding through the storm;
Now answers, like courtly dame;
The reddening surges DER,
With flying scarf of spangled flame,
The Pharos of the shore.
Tonight yon pilot shall not sleep,
Who trims his narrowed slil;
Tonight yon frigale scarce shall keep
Her broad breast to the gale;
And many ioresaii, scooped and strained,
Shall break from yard and stay,
Before this smoky wreath has stained
The rising mist OF day.
Hank! harkl I hear yon whistling shroud,
Isee yon quivering mast;
The black throat of the hunted cloud
! Is painting forth the blast!
An hour, and whirled like winnowing chat,
/ The giants surge shall fling
His trcsses DER yon pennon staff,
While as the sea birds wing!
Yet rest, We wanderers OF the deep;
Nor wind nor wave shall tire
Those feshless arms, whose pulses leap
With floods Of living fire;
Sleep on--and when the morning light
Streams DER the shining bay,
Othink OF those for whom the night
Shall never wake In day

Flueney Of .Speeeh.-The common fiueney
of speech in most men and most women is
owing to a scarcity of matter and scarcity Of
words ; for who ever is a master Of language
and hath mind full Of ideas, will be apt in
speaking to hesitate upon the choice Of both,
whereas common speakers have only one set
of ideas, one set of words to clote them in.
and these are always ready at the mouth: SO
people come faster out of church when it Is
almost empty than when crowd is at the
door --Dron Spif

Sickness.--In sickness, the soul begins to
dress herself for Immortality. And first, she
unties the strings Of vanity, tina, made her
upper garment cleave to the world and sit
uneasy. She puts off the light and fantastic
summer robe OF lust and wanton appetite.
Next to this, the soul, by the help Of sick
ness, knocks off the letters Of pride and vain
er completeness. Then she draws the cur
tain, and stops the light from coming in, and
takes the picture down those fantastic ina
ges Of self-love, and gay remembrances Of
vain opinion and popular noises. Then the
spirit s,oops into the sobrie,ies Of humble
Thoughts, and feels corruption till Gliding the
foywardness of fancy, and allaying the vaPor
Of conceit and factious opinions
Next to these. as the soul is still undress-
ing, she takes off the roughness of her great
and little Anglers and animosiies, and receives
the oil Of mercies and smooth forgiveness
fair interpretations and gentle answers de-
signs of reconcilement, and Christian atone
ment in their place.--Jsremy Taylor.

On its las, retiring place ffs,dtny mead, : -s
Then by thy coffn-side knelt down and took
A sisters farewell kiss and farewell look"
It was in the spring Of 49, -, that visited
the burial ground in small village north Of
Madrid, in Spain, where beheld beautiful
female, sitting by lonely grave in one corner
Of the yard, encircled round with beautiful
flowers, then in full blossom. The grass was
beginning to look green upon the sod that
covered the mound which she had watered
with her tears.
She was pensveIy leaning over the grave,
therefore did not observe me, and remained
silent. AT last she murmured to herself,
YES, francisco, thou has left me !'-she
then reclined her head on the turf" thou
hast forever left me, TO attend louder and
dearer call. should not weep will not;"
wiping away the tears that were coursing
down her cheek; for thou hast obcyed the
call OF one who loved thee far better than we
could love thee. Thou hast babe adieu to
the world, and flown to His bosom, and has
left nothing behind thee for thy disconsolate
and lonely sister, but the cold, cold sod!"
She remained silent for few minutes, as
though her bosom was too full for express
sion.
The sun had now set, and the moon was
Just beginning to climb over the tops Of the
trees, and as she stopped down to take another
kiss Of the green turf that covered the grave
Of her brother, saw the tears as they flowed
fast from her eyes. "Oh! dear brother Fran
cisco, thou hast left me here alone," cried
she, raising her face from the grave, and
clasping her hands in agonizing grief; "but
we will meet again. shall see thee again,
and then we will part no more" She then
rose, comparatively calm, and retired. Never
did behold sweeter or more lovely being.
One might have read the very sentence in her
face, Thou hast for ever left me-"
