A WET DAY AT THE FREMONT HOUSE,


We heard a droll story, the other day, of
the first visit of a Western friend of ours to
Boston, some years since. He had taken
trun on' from New Y ork to see Faneuil Hall,
Bunker Hill, the Common, &c., and knew
nobody in the city, or, if he did, OIL the ~fall
day" of which we speak, it would have made
little difference, for the rain poured down in
torrents, and from his room, in the upper part
of the fremont House, he beheld the drench-
ed passengers, endeavoring to restrain way
ward umbrellas, compel ling them across flood
ed intersections, while occasionally button
ed up, wretched looking hack would splash
along, the horses like drowning cats, the dri-
yer like resuscitaled ditto. Out Of another
window he had an equally enlivenng view of
the old church yard, with its moaning trees.
and Wondering monuments, from which he
would again turn to the street in front, watch
ing perhaps an occasional actor or actress
"LiiLe people"-in their dives along the pas
sage leading to the fremont Theatre, with
"wonder" whether such dragglelaed and
shocking6ad-hatted individuals could posi-
oily have had any part in the spanged pageant
Of the night previous But these mental re-
sources could not last forever.
He paced his chamber, rang for cocktail.
rang for cigars, rang for the papers, on each
occasion attended by "John,"a tall, good
looking, good humored Irishman, who ap-
peared to understand his desolate situation.
and who, IN consequence, ventured upon sun

Thy cheek is pale with many cares.
Thy brow is overcast,
And thy fair face shadow wears
That tells of sorrows past
But music hath thy tongue for me;
How dark soccer my lot may be
I turn for comfort, love, to thee,
My beautiful, my wife
Thy gentle eyes are not so bright
As when wooed thee first;
Yet still they have the same sweet light
Which long my heart hath nurst
They have the same enchanting beam
Which charm'd in loves early dream,
And still with joy on me they stream,
My beautiful. my wife!
When all without looks dark and cold,
And voices change their tone,
Nor greet me as they did Of old,
feel am not lone
For thou, my love. art aye the same,
And looks aud deeds thy faith proclaim;
Though all should scorn, thou would'st not blame,
My beautiful, my wife
A shadow comes across my heart
And overclouds my fate
WIENER think thou may'st depart
And leave me dcsolate;
For the wretch who treads alone
Some gloomy path in wilds unknown,
Such should be if thou vert gone, u-
My beautiful, my wife
If thou vert dead the flowers might spring,
But should heed them not;
The merry birds might and sing;-
They could not cheer my lot
Before me dark Despair would rise
And spread pail DER earth and skies
If shone no more thy loving eyes,
My beautiful, my wife
And those dear eyes have shonc through tears,
But never look'd unkind;
For shattered hopes and troubled years
Still closer to bind
Thy pure and trusting heart to mine.
Not for thysclf did'st thou repine,
But all thy husbands grief was thine,
My beautiful, my wife!
When, at the eventide, I see
My children throng around,
And know the love of them and thee,
My spirit still is bound
To earth, despite of every care:
feel my soul can do and dare
