That feel as an exile, forgotten, and DID,
And yet my affections, so frosted and cold,

And the light was restored to his eyes, and he smiled
And blessed her, and wept on her neck as child

THE FRENCH ARMY AT CARNAK

THE FRENCH ARMY AT CARNAK.
], was where Carnaks temples stood,
Litby the early dawn
Blu, from their depth Of solitude
Even Men,non's voice was gone;
For Time has hushed his ly,e at last.
Though still in marble pride
Far was his lonely shadow cas-,
Upon the desert wide.
Then rose sound on that still air
Like some far rushing stream,
As with their conquerlns eagles there
The Gallo legions came:
They came where Time had los, i,s power
TO waste on Theban walls,
But hung the hush Of ages DER
Her long iorsaken halls.
And like deep voices from the Past,
The anCien echoes woke,
As all at once, that stranger host
Their joy and wonder spoke,
There were The young, the brave, tho wise,
A nations gathered might:
Bu' well might every heart rejoice
10 see thu, glorious sight.
In one brief momen, all forgot
Their onward path Of war,
Or, it might be remembered not
The land vines afar;
For long that silent cily's fame
Had Ger the nations shone-
How would she rise upon Their dreams,
For ever vast and Lone
And VIVA. were thy deep thoughts tina, hour,
Chief of those warrior men!
Were they of ancient thrones end power,
Or ofthe deserts them
Or did old Thebes upon the earth
The miyhiesl desolate.
In her dim silence shadow forth
Thy far and future fa,e'
Monochrome can tel-But morning ligh,
a wondrous spendor shed,
Around that host Of banners bright,
And city Of The Dead;
But they left her by the lonely Nile,
Where burns the Afric day;
And the glory of the desert still
She slands--but where are they'

t,.xr, ,brough the dim woods dying,
With moan,
Family the wind, are signing
summers gone.
Th.r. when my bruised heart feeleih,
And the pale moon her face revealeih,
Darkly my footsteps steaieth
To weep alone;
Hour after hour WANDER
BY men unsseu--
And sadly my young thoughts ponder
On what hath been;
Summers gone.
There in our own green bowers,
Long ago,
Our path through the tangled MOWERS
Treadng SLOW;
OFT hand in hand entwning-
Of side by side reclining
We've watched, in its crimson shining,
The sunset glow.
Dmly the sun now bumeth
For me alone
Spring after spring returns'h,
Thou ait alone;
Summers gone!
Sill ON my warm cheek plaselh
The restless breeze;
Still in IL, ireeness sirayeth
Between tho trees;
Sill the blus strenmlet gusheth--
Still the proud river rushe,h--
Still the calm silence husheth
The hearts disease;
Blu, who shall bring Our meetings
Bark again;
What shall recall our greetings-
Loved in vainl
Summers gone.

GENERAL JOHN rLLIvAN.--This

GENERAL JOHN rLLIvAN.--This
gentleman bore a conspicuous part IN
The American revolution.
He was the son of Scotch parents,
who resided at Berwick, in Maine,
and in early life was The architect Of his
own fortune. DESTROYS Of procuring an
education, he went to Portsmouth,, aud
offered his services to Mr.. Livermore
a counsellor at law, who resided near
the spot where the church is now ltca-
ted. lie offered 10 take care of Mr..
j. = horse, split his wood, &c., if Mr..
J.. would board him, and give him
privilege of reading his books. The
bargain was concluded; John was faith
iul To his trust, and was enabled TO
spend much time in his employers IL
brary.
One evening. however, Mr.. Liver
more returned from an excursions, anu
John was not al hand To take cas- OF
the horse. IL was found on inquiry OF
a domestic that a client had called for
MIR. l.. TO manage case to be brought
before justice that evening. and as his
master was absent, John offered his
services, and had actually gone of
with the man.
Mr. l..'s curiosity was exciied-snd
after having taken care Of his horse, he
slipped into court without being peri
ceived by John. The case was manag.
ed with such ingenuity and ability, and
so much native talent was displayed,
thai after his return home. Mr.. l.. adj
dressed him: John, my kitchen is no
place for you-follow your studies
give them your undivided attention.
and you shall have what assistance YOU
need from me until you are in condi-
ton to repay it" The result is well
known that he beanie eminent at The
bar; and at The call of ais country, -
made great personal sacrifice Cav
ing his profession TO enter the"rmy..-
Here he shone as a star oil Inc hrst
magnitude, and will ave ms name
handed down TO possibly as The Trend
and companion = the ialher oil his
country. After,he close of the war,
he was Gove.oor of New Hampshire
three year, and afterwards district
Judge,
Japes sullivan, brother of John,
whs was afterwards Governor of Mas
sachuSetts, was in his minorship enga-
ged in boating ou the piscataqua. He
was engaged in this business when
both of his legs were broken, the
marks of which he aficrward bore.
What noble examples are here given

ton of knowledge, and the improve
