Song and Sorrow.

Touch my harp, oh, Muse Of sorrow
Softly touch lis broken string,
Now Thy minstrel would borrow,
Ger me spread thy dropping wing.
Spirits, sighing, round me hover,
Fading beauiy's spirits spell,
Like The lure Of Sappho's lover,
Brealhes The language of farewell.
Where has fed The summers beaming.
Where the bird and humming bee
Where the dew drop, sparkling, cleaning
Sun-it diamonds on The sea!
Where The spirit-breaihing zephyr,
Playing on the rose-bud's lip
Where has fed The music nurmur-
When The bees lis honey SIP!
See The downy thistle flying.
bluiely DER the wi;hered grass,
Hear The fated Leaflets sighing,
As they on their journey pass.
Trace them 10 their lowly dwelling,
Far away from beauiy's home,
Hear them there their sorrows telling,
Never here again 10 roam.
Leaves are fading, see them falling,
Dropping in the hollows low;
Birds from hill and grove are calling
For their kindred all to go.
Gone is every fragrant blossom,
Summers breath has passed away,
Bare and cold is Natures bosom,
Dimly falls the noon-iide ray.
Thus are passing, thus are leaving.
Those we prize and fondly love;
Sadly now my heart is grieving,
Ye, with JOY look above.
With the sumner, soft and Silly,
Fled her spirit to the skies.
Young and lovely as the lily,
Scarcely blooming ere it dies.
See the willow bending lowly,
Hear not her spirit there
Weeping minsrel--sad, YET holy,
Is The breathing Of Thy Tyre.

Execution Of a Boy.
WRITTEN. AN ENGLISH HANGMA


A few years ago, was called on, of town lc

must have been in the habit of going to execu-

ings as we once had. Have i-no-had for
what they saw was fit 10 make them as hard as

They saw that STRIPPING lifted fainring, on to
the gallows: his smooth cheek the color of wood
ashes-his Iiule limbs trembling, and his bo-
som heaving sigh aft er sigh as if the body aud
soul were parting without my help.
This was downright murder; for there was
scarcely any life To take out of him. When
began 10 pull the cap over his baby face, he
pressed his hands together. This arms you know
were corded fast 10 his body,) and he gave me
a beseeching look. jus, calf will lick the

the drop fell--one kick and he swsyed to

people Of England.
The crowd dispersed, some swearing, some
weeping with passionate exclamation, some
cuIsing as il hell had broke loose; some laugh
ing, while they cracked jokes on yon and me
aud the dangling corpse. They had come for
the sigh. They would come to see an angel
murdered. They had come to gel drunk with
strong excitement; they went back reeling and
filthy with the no, debauch. They had come
10 riot in The passions OF fear and piely; they
went back some in fever of rage, some burn

Then shall the soft breeze

Bearing rich fragrance
