Never was there such splendid improvi-

magnificent piece Of volition-s mistake,
certainly, and an extensive one--but still
magnificent mistake. Upon delta, formed
by the dividing branches Of the Neva-up-
on miserable morass half under water,
without stones, without clay, without earth,
without wood, without building materials Of
any kind--having behind it the outlet Of
the lake Ladoga and its tributary swamps,
and before it the gulf Of Finland contract

considerable difficulty, and is excessively
tedious, owing to the crowd OF boats, winch

the scene presented by them is one oil the
novelties most likely 10 attract the stranger
attention. The principal feature oil this

nation, il will be found that they are ar
ranged in regular line, leaving narrow
passage between them, OF Just sufficient
width to allow the largest OF them TO move
it's position if required. With the exceP-
ton of these occasional breaks, the
whole forms a mass so closely arranged
that it is perfectly easy TO pass from one to
the other, and thus traverse the whole ex-
tent. which reaches for considerable dis
lance. The number OF people who are
thus accommodated, and who are born, live,
and die, with no other home, is astonishing,
and TO the stranger almost incredible. This
river population forms an entirely distinct
portion Of the community, having Tegula-
tons and laws peculiar to themselves. and

of any but their own people. There are
few customs in the world which are so like

nation, we should naturally imagine 10 be
productive Of interminable quarrels and dis
cord, we find that, throughout the entire
mass Of this aquatic population, which
amounts to some thousands, the most per-

if We were to place an equal number Of our
countrymen and women, taken from the
same class, which is one of the lowest, il
not the very worst, of all, we can form but

The DyisW Mothers Prayer.
ny orIs PATTON.

Lonely and coldy mother lay dying,
Short was her breathing, her pulse beating low,
Cinsped TO her bosom an infant was lying
Smiling unconscious, Of want or Of woe.
Dear was the home Of that desolafe mother,
Seanty her covering, straw for her bed;
None to bewail her, no sister, no mother
To weep DER the dying, or mourn for the dead
Cold on the hearth the black cinders were lying,
Bare was the window, and naked the floor;
Bleak winds without seemed requiem signing
Over that sufferer, friendless and poor.
Stranger step lightly, raise the latch slightly,
Cautiously, silently, open the door;
HAPPY she sleepeth--death perchance keepeth
His vigil, and biddeth her sorrow no more.
Enter In slowly. solemn and holy,
Sesmeth the place Of the presence Of death:
Harken she prayeth, hear what she sayeth.
Ere she hath yielded TO heaven her breath.
Family and broken, each sentence is spoken,
Slowly TO heaven her accents arise,
While the storm howleth and round her cot
prowleth,
Thus to her God and her Saviour she cries.
Friend of the friendess, Initiate, Endless,
Scorn not heart stricken wanderers cry;
Saviour all holy, hope of the lowly,
Where but TO thee shall penitent fly
PROSTATE before thee, Lord, implore thee,
Look on the cross an Emmanuel slain
Let his blood lave me, cleanse me, and save me
The spirit thou gavest, receive 1t again.
Each tie is riven, that drew me from heaven,
Saving one tendril more strong than the rest
How shall break il, must forsake it,
Gentle and slumbering so calm on my breast +?
Who shall watch DER him when she that bore
him
Here in cold world, hath left him alone
Father or mother, sister or brother,
Kindred protector, or friends, he hath none.
Saviour, draw near him, bend thou and hear
him
When for his mother he crleth in vain
Consciously send him, one to befriend him,
Rear him for heaven-unite us again.
Ceased her lips motion, the heart in devotion,
Still heayes in her bosom, but calm In her brow
Smiles DER her playing, seems to be saying
Let me be gone, | can part with him now.
Palid and gasping, her feeble hands cIasping,
Upwards to heaven still raising her eye;
Gently her spirit, ascends to inherit
Mansions of rest for the ransomed on high.

Wend, love, with me, TO the deep woods wend
Where far in the forest the wild flowers
keep,
Whers no watching eye shall over us bend,
Save the blossoms that into thy bower may
peep.
Thou shalt gather from buds Of the orioles
hue,
Whose flaming wings round our pathway fit,
From the ssffron Grchis and lupin blue,
And those like the foam on my courser's hit.
One steed and one saddle us both shall bear,
One hand Of each on the bride meet
And beneath the wrist that entwines me there,
An answering pulse from my heart shall
beat
| will sing thee MANY Joyous lay,
As We chase the deer by the blue lakeside,
While the winds that over the prairie play
Shall fan the cheek Of my woodland bride.
Our home shall be by the cool, bright streams,
Where the beaver chooses her safe retreat,
And our hearth shall smile like the suns warm
CLEANS
Through the branches around our lodge that
meet
Then wend with me, to the deep woods wend,
Where far in the forest the wild flowers keep,
Where no watching eye shall over us bend,
Save the blossoms that into thy bower may
peep.

not yourself and me to get curiously rich
dinner for this man or woman who has
alighted at our gates; nor a bed-chamber

IL they are curious in them they can get for
few shillings in any village; but rather let
this stranger see, if he will, in your looks,
accents and behavior your hear, and earnest
ness, your thought and will. which he can.
not buy at any price in any city, and which
he may well travel twenty miles, and dine
sparely and sleep hardly to behold. Let not
the emphasis Of hospitality lie in bed and
board; but let truth, and love. and honor,
and courtesy, flow in all thy deeds.-Ralph
