The Truest Friend.
~ CHARLES SWAIN.


There is friend, a secret friend,
In every trial, every grief,
To cheer, TO counsel, and Defend
OF all Ios e1er had the chief
A friend, who watching from above,
Whene'er in Errors path we trod,
Still sought Us with reprOving love;
That friend, that secret friend, is Con.
There is friend, faithful friend,
In every chance and change Of fate,
Whose boundless love doth solace send,
When other friendships come too late,
A friend, that when the world deceives,
And YEARLY we onward plOd,
Still comforts every heart that grieves;
That true, that faithful friend, is Con-
How blest the years Of life might flow,
In one unchanged, mistaken trust;
If nan this truth would only know,
And love his Maker, and be lust!
Yes, there's a friend, a constant friend.
Who ne'er forsakes the lowliest sod,
But in each need, His hand doth lend;
That friend, that truest friend, is GoD!

BULGARIAN LADEs.-We were much
startled in the course Of the morning by the
most terrific screams, which were suddenly
heard to issue from the cabin, and made us
all fly to the rescue under the belief that the
Bulgarian ladies had somehow sustained
some fnghtful injury; but we found that the
whole disturbance had been produced by
the entrance Off waiter amongst them when
they were all unveiled; and when he was
questioned as to the cause Of his intrusion,
the origin Of this tremendous uproar proved
to have been rather amusing. They had
turned the cock which let of the water, and
had seemingly been much amused at seeing
it flow in consequence; so much 50, that
they let it run till it had positively flooded
the whole cabin, and the streams of water
passing under the door had shown the wait
er in the passage what was going on. He
called, shouted, and demonstrated in vain
from the outside, and finally, in despair,
had burst in upon them to rectify their i'm
prudence. paid these poor women Wis
il this morning, and | was much struck,
amidst all the untutored savageness Of their
nature, with the refinement OF tenderness
which they displayed towards their chill
dren; but this is, indeed, the only channel
in which all the deepest and purest feelings
Of human nature can flow for them. They
are prisoners and slaves, debared from socie
ty, from knowledge, almost from the light
and air; they know nothing Of the world
without; and this is the only one Of earth's
kindly ties from which they are not alto
gether cut off; from their parents they are
generally separated young, their brothers
they never know, their sisters are sent to an
other harem. Occupations they have none
beyond dyeing Of their nails and the paint
ing Of their eyebrows; and the excitement
attendant on the difficulty Of making the
fine black lines meet precisely at the prop
er place is, | presume, their greatest amuse-
ment. 1t is, therefore, in the exercise of
their maternal affections alone tina. they can
lavish all that has been given in all lands
to woman's heart Of devotedness and en-
ergetic love. The care and sympathy for
others, which form her chief enjoyment OF
life, and those powers Of endurance which
make her, weak by nature, yet 50 strong
when called upon to suffer for another,
would be all vain and useless fol the ha-
rem slave, were it not for the poor little
helpless being who, clinging unconscious
to her breast, prevents the blessed well OF
tenderness within from closing altogether.

Look on, look on, the morn breaketh upon
The hedge-row boughs, in their whitening

The distant orchard Is sallow and wan,
But the apple and nut CLEAN richly through.
Oh well will il be il our life, like the tree,

Stricken in freshness, and swept TO decay;

Joyous and happy creatures
Roamers of earth and air
Free children Of the woods
Bright CHANGERS Ger the floods,
Your homes are everywhere;
Dear are ye aud familiar to the heart,
Making Of natures loveliest things part.
Ye are upon the mountains,
With proud and lonely flight;
Ye are upon the heath,
The dear blue heaven beneath,
Singing in wild delight;
The rock doth shelter you, and many nest,
Amidst the leiges by the lake, doth rest
We skim the restless ocean,
White plumsd, like fairy things;
Ye haunt the inland river,
And the sweeping willows culver
With the rustic Of your wings;
Through the dark pines your homeward way ye
take,
Or drop to your lone nests in bush or brake.
To You morn bringeth gladness-
The first red flush Of day,
Breaking your rest, appeals
Unto your hearts-unseals
The silent songs, that lay
Like dreams, withic you through the quiet night,
And now bursts freshly forth TO hail the light.
You slumber with the sunset
Scarce doth the day wax dim
Scarce doth the first star glitter,
When frora your nests you twitter
Your happy vesper hymn;
Like one who, to the woods her lone way wing
ing,
Fills the deep night with her impassiOned sing
ing!
Solemn are woods at midnight,
When through the heavy shade,
Scarcely noonbeam hnds
An entrance where the winds
Stir though each green arcade;
But dear 10 Won that safest solitude,
Where on your rest no mortal may intrude.
And joyful is your waking,
Amidst the signing trees,
In the sweet matin hours,
When smile the opening flowers;
What want We more than thesel
Ye seek no praise--your songs as swestly sound,
As though crowd of wOrshippers stood round.
Ye are the poets emblem,
So doth his song gush free
So winged AID glad his spirit,
Doth his high gift inherit,
Pouring its melody
Beneath clear skies, and If they darken, keeping
Song ever in his heart, though 1t be sleeping
Sleeping, but not forever,
Still TO new life il springs,
When hopes sweet light doth waken,
And care and fear are shaken,
Like dew-orops from his wings;
And midst the flowers and trees with sunshine
glistening
He hath his own reward, though none be listen
