Petrarch was found dead in his library,

Rousseau, when dying, ordered his attend

he might look upon his garden, and gladden.

Pope tells us he found Sir Godfrey Kneller

end) sitting up and forming plans for his
monument. His vanity was conspicuous
even in death

DAsEE LEWELLYN'S WISH.

"Oh, father! how delightfulit would be
if you were an outlaw, or a rebel, or some
thing of that sort then might be like FL
len in the Lady of the Lake; there would
be danger and excitement, and daily sacri-
fees to make for you! Nay, if you were
but an old blind harper, papa, | would be
content. Leading you over the hills, as in
the olden days of chivalry; in lighted halls
and Beauty's bowers to be welcomed every
where"
Such was the observation made one day
by young Dasee Lewellyn, the daughter of
a Welsh squire, and my very intimate
though eccentric friend-a compound, as |
sometimes thought her, of Die Vernon and
Anna of Gierstein. / was at the time on
a visit to Swan Pool, the picturesque resi-
dence of Squire Lewellyn, and though Da-
see had often amused me with her flashes
of sentiment, felt that her present wish to
see her father either rebel or beggar
was rather too romantic.
"Thank you, my darling: am much
obliged to YOU" said the squire; "but as
we are already welcomed by our neigh
bors most heartily, whenever we &c
amongst them, l much prefer the convent
ences of a comfortable carriage, with the
inestimable blessing of eyesight, to toiling
on foot afflicted and wayworn."
"But," vehemently urged his daughter
sthen we should be welcomed for the sake
of genius and the love of art now it is be-
cause you are the Squire of Swan Pool, ant
/ your heiress, and that we give good din
ners in return, and ball at Christmas"
"Don't talk any more nonsense, Dasee,
answered her father impatiently. 81 like
sentiment well enough, but not sentimen
run mad, as yours seems to be. Why dom
you take lesson in common sense from
your friend there; pointing t.
me as he said so. "However, we need no
say any more about that just now. So com'

"Why," said the good, sensible girl, "h
is great deal too fat and ruddy for cler

What with his commonplace name, an

MILLET.-The American Journal of Agr-
cultural Science, for September, contains an
article by Professor Emmons, on the cultya-
ton of millet. The larger millet is much
cultivated in some parts of Europe. Germa-
ny, for example, where it is seen in the mar
kets, prepared by separation from the husk,
in the form of beautiful grains, perfectly
round, of golden color. 1t is used in soups,
and boiled by itself with water, it forms an
excellent and very wholesome kind of homi-
ny. Professor Emmons has subjected millei
TO an analysis, in order TO determine the pro-
portion of nutritiye matter il contains lie

corn, except in oil, it exceeds both in It's pow

And thinks that, take things as they iisc,
'Twont do to bc more nice than wise,

BEAUTIFULLY ExPuEssED.-No man, no
ever degraded, is utterly beyond reformation.
Beautifully has Whittier in one Of his poems c
pressed this truth.
'.As on the White Seas charmed shore,
The Parsee sees his holy hill
With dunncst smoke clouds curtained DER,
Yet knows beneath them evermore,
The low, pale fire is quiyering still;
SO underneath its clouds of sin,
The heart of man rctaineth yet
Cleans of its holy origin;
And half qucnched stars that never set,
Dim colors of its faded bow,
And early beauty lnger there,
And DER its wasted desert blow
Faint breathings of its morning air.
Oh never yet upon the scroll
OF the sin-stained, but priceless soul,
Hath Heaven inscribed despair"
Cast not the clouded gem away,
Quench not the dim but living ray
My brother man, beware!
With that deep voice which from the skies
Forbade the Patriarch's sacrifice,
Gods angel cries, FoRBEAR!

SELECT POETRY.
THE MISSION OF THE ANGEL OF DEATH.
BIZ MRS. S. w. JEwETT.

"Go FORTH" said the heavenly father,
To one of his seraph train;
"Go forth on an errand of mercy
To the world of trouble and pain.
"Loosing the CALLING fetters,
That bind the weary and worn;
And bear to their glorious mansions,
The souls that for bliss are born.
"And away from earth's noxious vapors,
Some buds of beauty bring,
To bloom in the heavenly gardens,
Meath the smile of perpetual spring."
And the angel with wings resplendent,
Went out from the heavenly band,
Midst chorus of joyful voices,
Resounding at Gods right hand.
In the street of crowded city,
An old man, bcggar'd and poor,
Hungary and sick, and sorrowing,
Sank down by rich mans door.
Sleep weighed down his heavy cyelids,
And fceby he drew his breath,
AS beside him, with look of compassion,
Alightcd the Angel of death.
Then he thought of the years long vanished
The lovely the lost, and the dear,
Till borne on the wings of sweet visions,
He woke in happier sphere.
There were none on earth to sorrow,
That the old mans days were DER,
But myriads bade him welcome,
AS he nearcd the heavenly shore.
Slowly nights gathering shadows,
Closed round a mother mild,
Who, fearful and heavy-hearted,
Watched by her dying child.
Fcvered and restless and moaning,
On his little bed he lay,
When the bringht-wingcd angel drew ncal
him
And kissed his last breath away.
So softly the chain was severed
30 gently was stayed the preatn--
1t soothcd the heart of mourncr,
And she blessed the Angel of Death.
For she knew that the soul of her darling
Had gone TO his Father above
Clasped in the arms more tender
Than even her iondcst love.
And still on his holy mission,
Did the hcaven-sent messenger roam,
Gathering Gods wandering children
To their eternal home.
Those only, whose souls were blighted,
And withered by sin and shame,
Saw no light in the path of the angel,
And knew not from whence he came.
And those, only, who close their spirits
In wilful blindness here,
From the light of Gods nearer presence
Need shrink with distrust and fear.
