Robert Emmet and hts Love.

Twas the evening Of a lovely day-the last
for the noble ill.fated Emmet. a young lady
stood at the castle gate and desired admittance
into the dungeon. She was closely yelled ard
the keeper could not imagine who she was, nor
why one OF such proud bearing should be sup

ted the boon--led her TO the dungeon, opened
the massive door, then closed it again, and the
lovers were alone. He leaned against the pr.
son wall. with a downcast head and his arms
were folded upon his breast. Gently she raj.
sed the veil from her face. and Emmett turned

hood had been his polar star--the maiden who
had sometimes made him think "the world was
all sunshine" The canking Of the heavy
chains sounded like death-knell to her ear,
and she wept like child Emmett said but lit
tie, yet he pressed her warmly to his bosom,
and their feelings held silent meetng--such,
perchsnce, as is held in heaven, only there we
part no more. In low voice he besought her
not to forget Him when the cold grave received
his inanimate body-he spoke of by-gone days
the happy hours of childhood when his hopes
were bright and glorious, and ne concluded by
requesting her sometimes to visit the place and
SCENES that were haloweG to his memory from
the days of his infancy and should the world
pronounce his name with scorn and contempt,
he prayed she would still cling to him with af.
fec,ion, and remember him when all Others
should forget Hark the church-bell sounded
and he remembered the hour of execution. The
turnkey entered, and after dashing the tears
from his eyes, he separated them from theiI
loag embrace, and led the lady from the dun
gcon. At the entrance she turned, and tbei
eyes mct-,hey could not say farewell-th,

"And one-o'er her the myrtle showers
It's leaves by soft winds famed
She faded midst Italian flowers
That last of that fair band"
Twas in the land of Italy-what gorgeous
time of sunset in ltsly--what a magnificent
scene! A pale, emaciated girl lay upon her
bed of death. Oh it was hard for her to die,
far from home in this beautiful land, where
flowers bloom perennial, and the balmy air
comes freshly to the pining soul. Oh no
her star has set the brightness of her dream
had faded-her heart was broken. When ties
have been formed on earth close, burning ties,
what is more heart.rending anl agonizing tc
the spirit, than to find at last the beloved one is
snatched away, and all our love is given to O
passing flower - Enough she died the be
trothed OF Robert Enmet, the lovely Sarah Cur

ers breathe their fragrance over her grave, and
the lulIing notes OF the shepherds flute sound q
requiem TO her memory.

IT sPOILS A MAN To MARRY HIM.

Believe, dear girls, this maxim true,
In precept and in practice TOO,
That it spoils man TO marry him!
The creatures never ough, to go
Beyond honey moon or so;
If they survive that, they will show
That ii spells man to marry him!
When first he knet before your feet.
How soft his words, his looks how sweet!
But i. spois man to marry him,
When once late consent he wiring,
And get your fingers in the ring,
Oh! THEN he's quite another thing;
1t spois man to marry him.
Have you fancy' you must drop it,
A will it may be? you must lop it,
Before.you think of marrying;
And even if you venture then,
Select the very best of men;
II not, nine chances out of ten,--
Twill spoil the wretch to marry him.
