They then place it in an upright position
in the chapel exactly under the church, and

spectacle sufficiently narrowing. A group
so gaunt and grim, probably, has never eI-
listed, except in the pages Of poetry or TO

fiction. There they stand, as silent as the
grave they have left--dark and mute as mid
night. II is a scene that freezes, casting over
the heart some Of the gloom that surrounds the
place, and rejecting there much Of its desc
lation. The bare skulls and the hollow

OBJ LETrERs.-l have always thought,
that if it were possible TO keep the letteIs
Of our youth until the sere and ri pensd years
Of age came upon us-the most beautiful,
as well as the most saddening recollections
that could then be awakened, would be
called up by their perusal. How much too,
would the general hue Of those recollectons
be tinged by the tenor OF our after-lile!
Through what roseate medium would the
favorite Of fortune, on whose head her gifts
have descended in an uninterrupted. shower
how pleasantly would he look back, upon
the, to him, golden past, and think Of all
those with whom he sported, and with whom
life, perhaps, had passed far less joyOusly.-
And what bitter retrospect to one whose
years have passed on only to heap sorrow
upon sorrow, is it to look over these mute
yet eloquent records Of withered hopes,
blighted anticipations, and pledges forever
broken. Yet is there a pleasure, the more

Vain fattereT, cease, let thy babbling be still,

And lesdsst men captive like brutes at thy will
Still ticking their desih-watch the while.

Alluring with cunning and craft,
So thou, TO her children, Satan to Eve,
Enchanting thy victims, the more 10 deceive,
Presentest the poisonous draught.

Destroying the victims, she charmed,
Methinks a like spirit still lurketh in thee,
And like wise Ulysses, happy is he
Who heareth thy wOOing unframed.
As Gree Of old, who with magical art
At her pleasure turned men into swine,
So thou with thy pOtiOns transformer the heart
And biddest each vestige Of manhood depart,
Thy magic's the magic Of wine.

he kept his word. The funeral supper

The meal lasted I'LL the dawn Of day,
Vergniau6, seated near the centre OF the
table. presided with the same calm dignity
which he had preserved during the night Of
the 10th Of August while presiding over
the Convention"
The guests ate and drank with sobriety--
merely to recruit their strength. Their
discourse, was grave and solemn-though
not sad. Many Of them spoke Of the inn
mortality of the soul, and expressed their
belief in future life. Towards morning,
several retired to their cells-but thirteen
remained in the great dungeon. The Alb
be Lambert, the friend Of Brissot-who had
been waiting at the door OF their dungeon
all night--was then allowed to enter and
offer his ministry.
"At ten (says NJ. de Lamartine) the exc
cutioners entered to prepare the heads OF
the condemned for the knife and bind their
hands. = Gensonne picking up a
lock OF his dark hair, handed it to the Alb
be Lambert, begging the priest TO give it TO
his wife-whose place Of refuge he named
to him. "Tell her that this is all
can send her; but that every one Of my
dying thoughts is directed towards her. T"
Vergniaud drew forth his watch, and wrote
with the point Of pin few initials and the
date OF the Both October in the golden
case. He then slipped it into the hand Of
one Of the spectators in order that it might
be given to young girl for whom he enter
tanned brotherly love-and whom IT was
said he intended to have married.
Arrived at the foot OF the scafold,
they embraced each other as a sign OF CON-
munion in freedom, in life and in death.
They then resumed their funeral strain in
order to encourage themselves mutually,
and send TO the last moment the voice Of his
friends to the one undergoing execution
All died brsvely-Silley with irony.
Placed on the platform, he walked round it,
bowling to the people as though to thank
them for glory and the scaHold. Each
time the axe came down, a voice less was
heard. The rows Of the condemned gradu.
ally thinned at the foot of the guillotine.
One voice alone continued the Marseiilaise
to the last it was that Of Vergniaud.

"sTime-hOnored things' Old England boasts;
Her ancient realms by such o'ersprsad,
The plain where met embattled hosts;
The tOmbs that hold her mighty dead;
The Druid mound; the Saxon keep;
The wastes where feudal tyrants sleep.
"Ths old m0nastic piles, that grace
Her richest hooks by stream and glade;
The shrine, in whose worn steps we trace
Where reverent pilgrims knelt and prayed:
The ancient wells; the crosses lone,
With lichens wild, and moss, o'ergrown.
"The proud cathedraIs, chilled and change:
The hamlet churches, quaint and grey;
The old barOnial halls, estranged
From the dim uses Of their day;
The Legends, dear TO place and time,
Linked with all these, in many rhyme.

Bearing the appointed burden on;
The frank care in anOther's lot,

The eagle thought, the eagle Strength,
That rends cen deaths dark thrall al length.
The deep, keen sense Of human wrong,
That TO the brave soul proves a stay,
Making its own true purpose strong,
To bear the weak in mind Away;

With mans sole glory unsllied.
