in digging potatoes, and pulling and topping tur-

carrying limestone and Goals. Indeed, there is
hardly any msnial service to which they are not
accustomed and all notions of their sex seem ou,

commonly six pence and eight pence, and seldom
exceed ten pence day, excepting in harvest
when they are shilling. The hours for the men
are usually from six to six, with two hours fol
meals. The women rarely come before eight, and
quit at SIX, with an hour for dinner. Many walk
two or three miles to their work, and return a
night. Their meals are taken in the fields. and ir

A Very" Sad Lamentation.

1T is not that she bade me GO,
And said Id better stop my calling,
Ii is not that she answered, No,
As loud as could be-short of bawlins:
ltwas not that she slammed the door,
And set her nasty lap-dog on me;
Oh, no. greater, keener grief
Weighs down my heart and preys upon me.
cannot bear to see her go
And promenade with other fellows.
cannot bear 10 see her walk
On rainy DAYS meath their umbrellas;
To see such things a-going on,
Excites my virtuous Indignation;
It makes me swear, as one might say.
In vulgar phraze, like all creation
To see her seated in chair,
With half dozen fops about her;
And hear that fool Augustus swear
He cant exist day without herr
'Tis this which makes my wthered hopes
Fall thick and fast like leaves in Autumn.
And causes my poor heart 10 beat
Like young bears when dogs have caught him
hHdt IL llcI ldtuSI - bIic o4uIO,
And I'm briefess-lawyer-devil
She needn't cut me in the street.
1t wouldn't hurt her to be civil.
But an my heart-strings arc a lutte
On which her hand unteeling fingers;
Well be it So the tune is sad,
But then It's played by Beauty's fingers
Enough! enough! I've lost the maid;
My mind is bordering on distraction;
Yes, yes-Ill leave this classic shade.
And seek wilder field of action
For in the distant Texan land,
In wars proud ranks I'll seek for glory,
And then perhaps in latter years
Ny name will sound in verse and story.
And If, oh, cruel Marianne
You hear them tell about a stranger
Who wore the lone STAR on his crest
And never cared a cent for DANGER
Perhaps you'll proudly look around,
Aud with sigh of sympathy
EIclam to all your wondering friends,
That brave young man, once courted me-

A Psalm Of Night.

BY w. II. BURLEIGH.
Fades from the west the farewell light
Flung back by the setting sun,
And silence deepeEs as the night
Steals with its solemn shadows on!
Gathers the soft, refreshing dew
On springing grass and flow rest stems
And 10! the everlasting blue
Is radiant with thousand gems.
No, only doth the voiceful day
That loving kindness, Lord! proclaim
BIT night, with its sublime array
OF worlds, doth magnify Thy name!
Yea-wtiile adorning seraphim
Before Thee bend the willing knee,
From every star choral hymn
Goes up increasingly to Thee.
Day unto day doth utter speech,
And night TO night thy voice makes known
Through all the earth where thought may reac
Is heard the glad and solemn tone,
And worlds beyond the farthest star
Whose light hath reached the human eye,
Catch the high anthem from afar
That rolls along immensely!
O., Holy Father! mid the calm
And stiffness of the evening hour,
We, too, would lift our solemn psalm
To praise Thy goodness and thy power'
For over US, as over all,
Thy tender mercies shall extend,
Nor vainly shall the contrite cal!
On thee our Father and our Friend.
Kept by thy goodness through the day,
Thanksgiving to thy name we pour
Night DER us, with its stars, we pray
Thy love to guard us evcrmore
In grief console--in gladness bless
In darkness, guide--in sickness, cheer
Till in the Saviour's righteousness,
Before Thy throne our souls appear
