THE SPIRIT OF LIBEKTY.-Soon after the
close of the long French war in Europe,
a boy was standing on one Of the bridges
that cross the Thames at London, with a
number of small birds in cage for SALE
A sailor, who was passing, observed the
little prisoners fluttering about the cage,
peeping through the wires, and manifesting
their eager desire to gain their liberty. He
stood for some time looking at the birds
apparently lost in thought. At length, ad-
dressing the boy, he said:
How much do you ask for your birdsr'
"Sxpence piece, sir" was the reply.
Il don't ask how much apiece" said the
sailor show much for the lot! want tc

The boy began calcuatin z, and founc
they came to Six shllings and sixpence.
There is your money" said the sailor
handing out the cash, which the boy recei
we'd with evident satisfaction at his morn
ing's trade. No sooner was the bargain
closed, than the sailor opened the cage
door. and let all the birds fly away.
The boy locking quite astonished, ex
claimed, what lid you do that for, SIR

AM BITION'S VICTIM
A TRUE STORY OF THE HEART.

TRUE STORY OF THE HEART.
TWAS lovely morning in April. The
sun was pouring flood of golden light
upon the beautiful village of -. His
enlivening rays seemed to inspire all nature,
animate and inanimate, with an unusual
loneliness. The Mississippi swept in ma
estic curve, round miniature peninsula,
which connected with the mainland, but
so slightly that it seemed an island. The
village was principally composed of Eng
lish cottages, whose whiteness glittered in
the sun with dazzling brightness. Despite
the inclement season the earth was COW
cred with Springs fairest and earliest flow
ers, whose extreme beauty and tints might
vie with the coloring of the topaz or the
pure angelic whiteness of the pearl.
On the point of land which we have de-
scribed, stood a neat white cottage; whose
size and excess Of rare workmanship, indl-
Gated the superiority of the owner in poin,
of taste and fortune. In front of the house
was a tastefully arranged f!owerplot. The
centre of this was slightly raised and sur
mounted by Summer house, whose airy
style of archite cture gave it an appear
ance of elegant simplicity. The Corinthiar
columns which supported the roof of the
portico were entwined by the tendris of an
evergreen. 1t was spot upon which ma
ture had lavished much beauty; and art
had thrown around it additional charms.
On the morning when our story com
mences s, two individuals stood in a room OF
the cottage looking out upon the lawn
One was a female of rare loneliness. Hell
companion was gentleman, whose lofty
bearing and intellectual countenance con.
trasted finely with the ladys style and
beauty. They appeared engaged in an
earnest conversation, in which the gentle
man seemed to urge something upon the
lady, to which she dissented.
BE assured, said he, that all which car
will cheerfully do for you. Doubtlers
can anticipate your wish. Is it not some
thing of your affair of the hearth But
Media, YOU must be more explicit and
give me the details of your difficulty
Good heavens How pale How you
tremble Be composed | entreat you. Ii
would be fatal oyour interests were Henry
to see you now, thus agitated--come neal
this window where the fresh breeze may
battle that pale cheek--its delicious fresh,
ness will restore your accustomed bloom
A. he said this, she having rested her arm
in his for support, he escorted her TO the
window and then continued, "Now make
known to me your wish; if aught can be
done to contribute to your happiness |
will perform it with pleasure"
II am almost determined to break my
engagement with Henry. said she. He is

people, and now that he could offer wealth
and glory to Neolia, he sat out to sue for
her haud
1t was glorious afternoon in November
when he reached the little village where he
resided. An unusual quiet hung round the
streets. Suddenly the church bell began
to toll. Like an ice-bolt TO his heart came
the thought, "coud it be for Neofia!' Al
most phrensied with, the sudden apprehen-
sion. he put spirs to his horse and dashed
up the road toward her fathers residence.
As he came in sight of the well-known
gate leading into the ground, slow and
solemn train came out. His heart sank
within him. With falterng accents he
asked the name Of the dead-it was Neo-
liza. He reeled in the saddie-the earth
swan around him--the memory of a thou
sand things connected with her rushed
through his mind, and after violent at
tempt to master his emotions, he tainted.
When lie recovered, he found himself in
the house of mourning--for thither he had
been carried when recognised. A portrait
of Neolia hung opposite to him. Alas!
its every feature was dagger to his heart.
He feared to ask questions; but the gar
ulous nurse told him all. Neola had grad
ually declined since summer--it was then
that ne parted with her last--and at length
sank beyond hope Of recovery. They did
not tell hm--but their looks said that she
died Of a broken heart.
A letter was given to him, which Neola
had requested but the day on which she
died, might be delivered to Lincoln, when
she was no more. He opened it with a
shaking hand. 1t ran thus:
Il feel that my days are numbered. My
eyes must soon be closed on the lovely, the
the beautiful things of earth. 1t is sad 10
leave a world so fraught with loneliness
ere have numbered twenty summers-yet
l feel that it must be 80. Disappointment
with whitening breath, has destroyed the
fair flowers that boomed so brightly
around my path. Clouds have obscured
the transparent blue of my morning sky
Yes, even now Deaths chilling hand is
upon me. This fatal passion has chased
the 9 low from my cheek, the light and hope
from my eye. l was gay and happy, bu,
that is over.
1t is better to 60. In death shall find q
calm and sweet repose. My brightest
hopes have perished-my dearest joys have
eluded my grasp. Why, then, should
wish to remain,
Thy love would have made life dear
But, perhaps, Wien | am gone thou vii
shed tear Tor one whom thou hast never
loved
Might but my spirit then return and midst it
| kindred dwell,
And Quench its thirst with loves free tears-'t
all drean--farewell!"
He read no more--the tide of feeling
which overwhelmed him we will not at
tempt to describe. TO ambition he hac
mady sacrificed the only being whom he
had ever priced.
He returned to the world. and in its busy
scenes he sought forgetfulness. He rose tc
high distinction. AS statesman and ora.
tor he was unrivaled. Honors "crowdec
thick and fast" upon him-but amid them
all he finds melancholy pleasure in revert
ing to the memory Of one who had lovec
him 50 faithfully and been rewarded for hel
devotion with a broken heart and premature

Enbalmed in sacred memory's fire,
Immortal honors claim!

Though traitors dare disowK
Thy holy rights and ornaments,
Endearcd to freedoms home.
Though misty clouds o'erspread the light,

Hopes cheering rays foreteli thy pride
OF glory, to ascend!
America, love thee still
e Thou art my native land!
Thy joys so pure can meier be found
Upon foreign strand!
Though pleasures path and fortunes smiles
IN other climes seem fair,
The brightest Of their hopes or joys
Can nought with thee compare!
America! love the still
Respondent glories CLEAN
Through all thy deeds! Thy sacred rights
Shall ever be my theme.
Pure from the realms of victory's sky,
The crown was given to thee;
Midst starry lights, eternal stands
