Speak it not lightly-'ti is d holy thing,
bond enduring through long distant years
When JOY Ger thine abode is lowering.
Or when thine eye is wet with btteTest teaB,
Recorded bV an angels pen on high,
And must be questioned in eternity.
Speak il not lightly-though the young and gay
Are throngRg round thee now, with tones of mith
Let not the holy promise of to-day
Fade like the clouds that with the morn have birth
But ever bright and sacred may it be
Stored in the treasure-cell of memory.
Life may not prove all sunshine--theEe will come

OF sorrow gathers thicky round your home,
Love as We did, IN time when calm and bright
Seemed the sure path We trod. untouched by care,
And deemed the future like the present-faiF!
Eyes that now beam with health may yet grow dim,
And cheeks of rose forget their early glow;
Langu0r and pain assal each active limb,
And lay, pefchance some Worsbipped beauty low
Then viii ye gaze upon the altered brow,
And love as fondly, faithfully, as now
Should fortune frown on your defenceless head
Should storms o'ertake your bark lifeS dark sea-
Fierce tempests rend the sail so gaily spread,
when hope her syTen stain sang JOyfully-
Nll ye look up though clouds your sky 'eFcsst,
And say" Together we will bide the blast?

And brings the tottering step, the furTowed cheek
The eye from whence each lnstTous CLEAN hath gone

EGYPT AND ITS New RULER.-lbrahm Pacha,
virtually Viceroy Of Egypt, continues to suffer
from illness, and is at present staying at Cairo.
His medical attendants have great deal of trouble
with his Highness, for it is with reluctance that
he abides by their prescriptions, and, whenever
he feels tall better their entreaes are Of no avail
in keeping him from committing excuses. His
Highness has also been in very bad humor for
some time, and devotes his attention solely to re-
trenching the salaries of the Government officers
and reducing the expenses of the country-a for
his own private benefit From his intolerance of
advice, no one ventures TO give 10 Ibrahim Pacha
an opinion unless it coincide with his own, for he
has been known to get into violent passion when
contradicted, and always fancies he knows more
than others.
The Nile has this year risen to an unusual height,
and has committed considerable havoc in the coun-
try by washing away fields Of Indian corn and up
roofing trees and, as it has flooded much greater
extent of land than is under cultivation, the water
will occupy great length Of time in returning to
its natural channel and next years crop will con-
sequenty be retarded and impaired. Fortunately
the water which had risen TO the extent Of 20 Feet
has been subsiding during the last few days
The English Consul, Mr. Gilbert, seems deter
mined upon discountenancing the possession Of
slaves by British subjects residing in Alexandria,
and has issued notice TO the effect that if all
those who hold slaves do not give them their liberty,
they will be prosecuted according to British law.
lbrahim Pacha has declared the trade in Gum
Arabic and SIENNA, from the upper country, 10 be
free.--London Tines.
