she wae chnged

F"r
As by the sicknes Of the soul; her mind
Had wandered from Its dwelling, and her oyes
They had not their swn lustre, but the look
Which is not Of the earth; she was become
The queen Of fantastic realm; her thought
Were combinations Of dsjointed things
And forms, impalpAbls snd unperceiyed
or othef's sight, familiar were ohers."
Her brother, the gentleman in black was
unremit.ing in his efforts 10 soo,h her spirits
He led her back to her seat; bu, her hair was
still unbound, and her beauty unveiled. The
cars ratified on and the passengers in groups
resumed their convetsstion. Suddenly a
wild melody arose, i. was the beautiful ma.
MACS voice, rich full, inimitable. Her hands
were crossed OH her heaving bosom, and sho
waved her body as she sang with touching
pa,hos:
."She is far from the land whore her ysuug hero
sleeps,
And levers are round her signing,
But csldly she turns from their gaze and Wsepa.
For her heart in his grave 10 lying!
"she sings the wild songs of hei dear native
plains," .
Every note which he loved awaking--
Ah little they think, who dslightin in her strains,
How the heart Of the minstrel is breaking"
Her brother was unnamed, and no wept as
only man can weep. The air changed, and
she continued:

"Has sorrow thy young days shaded

Again the poor benighted beauty raised
her bewitcnng voice to ono of the most
solemn sacred airs:
"Oh where shall rest be found,
Rest fer the weary soul?"
And continued her melancholy chaunt un
