and so gently from the bosom of her family,

crimson spot burning with painful brightness on
either cheek. remember that her step became
unsteady, and her voice fainter and more gentle,
day by day, till at last she sunk to her bed, and
we were called upon to witness her spirit 90
forth TO the presence Of Jehovah. They took
me to her couch and told Inc TO look upon my
mother before she died. Their words had no
meaning to me then, but the whisper in which
they were spoken thrilled painfully through my
infant heart, and felt that something very ter
rible was about to happen Pale, troubled faces
were around the death pillow-slern men, with
sad, heavy eyes-women, overwhelmed with
tears and sympalhy-and children that hudded
together, shudderng and weeping they knew

Where sire and child devoutly kneel
While through the open easement nigh
The vcrnal blossoms fragrant steal.
Prayer may be sweet in stately halls,
Where heart with kindred heart is blcnt
And upward to the Eternal Throne

But he, who fnn would know how warm
The souls appeal to God may be,
From friends and native land should turn,

Should hear its deep, imporing tone
Rise heavcnward DER the foaming surge,
When pillows toss the fragile bark,
And fearful blasts the conflict urge.

No refuge where the foot may flee
How will he cast, oh. Rock Divine!

THE STOLEN INTERVIEW.

pY E. NJ. FITZGERALD ESQ.
Pm of, dearest Lily tomorrow,
Pm off bv the mail with Sir Hugh;
But tonight Will manage to borrow
An hour to steal over to YOU.
I'll come when the evening IS closing,
i cannot well ret of before
III come when the old lady's DOING
And you can steal out 10 the door
Oh Lily I'm longing 10 meet you
You'll tonc--wont you come II you cant
And dearest, do let me entreat you
To tie II that fleece little Fan:
When | stole by aunt Fora, met her
Last Tucsday,-I cannot tell how
And, III passing | almost upset her.,
The little wretch made such row!
Remember, tonight, when 8 c doses,
TO inoveher cruch out OF the way;
And the door, too crCak, so when 1t Closes
Do oil it a little to-day.
It's so long since we've met, l M alralu you
Have seen some agreeable man;
Aud know, when Fin gone, they ilpersuadc you,
To love some one else, if you can.
THEY'LL tell you when youths 70 to College,
They forget all they cherish'd before
That wisdom increases with knowledge,
And love is soon bansh'd for lore;
They'll tell you, (and oh! God forgive themD
That VOW, Ii ,ca vote should be sold,
And Heaven may itself if you Il believe them,
Like boroughs, be purchased with gold.
THEY'LL tell you that, as we grow older,
Each bliss will be mingled with doubt
That our pulses will daily beat colder,
And love- like taper, burn out;
That have seen scarce eighteen summers
That but fifteen have passed over you;
And that soon, in the crowd of new Corners,
New lovers will come TO you, too.
But often, nj eve, when aunt Nora
is hush'd, for a while, in her nap
When you sit b, the fire, and poor Flora
Shall nestle her head in your lap
When Papa is gone out to the stablc:--
When the wind whistles down though the glen
And the urn's growing GOLD on the table,
Dear Lily, you'll think of me then!
You'll think of your first, fondest lover
When others shall knecl as he knelt;
You'll remember the songs of the rover,
When others but sing what he felt:
And oft, as the summer closes
On scene and landscape as fair,
You'll remember the bower Of wild roses,
And all that you promised him there
His hunter may zine in the stable,
Til list is he h.'tncss Of limb;
Unno,iccd his dog watch the table:
Bat l. ~ you'll love them for him!
Fa-cwrl to the hound and the cover,
Farewell TO The heath and the glen!
But wien Term nnl he Little Cos over,
He! be with you dear Lily again.
