A Slide In the White Mountains.

I ROBERT looked upward. Awful pre-
7 cipices lowered TO The height Of NOR
: than two thousand feet above him. -
Near the highest pinnacle, and the ver
one over which Abamocho had bee
seated, the earth had been loosened b.
the violent rains. Some slight cause
perhaps the bursting forth of noun
tain spring, had given motion to th'
mass; and it was now moving forward
gathering fresh strength from its pro
gress, uprooting the old trees, unbed
ding the ancient rocks, and all rolling
onward with velocity no human bar.
rier could oppose, no created power re-
sist. One glance told Robert that
Mary must perish. But will die with
her!' he exclaimed, and, shaking oft'the
grasp of Mendowit as he would feath-
err, Mary! oh, Maryp ne continued,
rushing toward her. She uncovered her
head, made an effort to rise, and artic-
ulated Roberto as he caught and
clasped her to his bosom. 'Oh, Mary,
must we die?" he exclaimed. W e
must, we must she cried, as she gazed
on the rolling mountain in agoDizing
horror; "why, why did you come p
He replied not, but leaning against the
rock, pressed her closer to his heart !;
while she, clinging around his neck E,
burst into a passion of tears, and laying
her head on his bosom, sobbed like an
infant. He bowed his face upon her
cold, wet cheek, and breathed one cry
for mercy; yet, even then, there was in
the hearts of both lovers a feeling of
wild JOY in the thought that they should
not be separated.
! The mass came down, tearing, and
crumbling, and sweeping all before it !!
The whole mountain trembled, and the
ground shook like an earthquake. The
air was darkened by the shower of wa
ter, stones, and branches of trees,
crushed and shivered to atoms; while
the blast swept by like whirlwind, and
the crash and roar Of the conyuson
were far more appalling than the loud
est thunder.
1t might have been one minute, or
twenty-for neither oft lovers took
note of time-when in the hush of death
like Stiffness that succeeded the uproar,
Robert looked around, and saw that the
consuming storm had passed by. 1t had
passed, covering the valley, further than
the eye could reach, with ruin. Mass
es of granite, and shvered trees, and
mountain earth, were heaped high
around, filling the bed Of the Saco, and
exhibiting an awful picture Of the DESC
lating track ofthe avalanche. One little
spot had escaped its wrath, and there,
safe, as if sheltered in the hollow of His
hand who notices the fall Of sparrow,
and locked in each others arms, were
Robert and Mary! Beside them stood
Mendowit; his gun firmly clenched, and
his quick eye rolling around him like
maniac's. He had followed Robert,
though he did not intend it; probably i'm
PEELED by that feeling which makes us
10th to face danger alone; and thus had
escaped.

And tho roaring torrents foam and dash

For love to play in the noonlide ray,
And bask IN blaze from the throne Of Day.

And the clear blue canopy slowly sweep
For dear to me is the revelry
Ola free md fearless Liberty,

Like the watch towers high of patriot band
For may not bide, in my glory and pride,
Though the land he fair and wide,
Where Luxury regns DER voluptuons pains,
And letters the froe-born soul in chains.
Then give me in my fight to
The Land orthe Pilgrims ever free;
And | ne'er will rove from the huunts love,
But watch, from my sentinel track above.

And exult in yonr glorious destiny.
Oh, guard ye well the land where dwell,
Lest to future times the tale ! tell,
When slow expires, in smoudering fires,
The goodly heritage Of your sres,
