DEATH AND SLEEP.-Death and Sleep, the an
gel of slumber and the angel of death, locked in
brothery embrace, wandered over the earth II
was evening They lay down upon hill, not far
from the abodes Of men. A pensiye silence relgned
around, and the evening bell ceased in the distant
village. Quietly and silently, as is their custom,
the two benevolent guardian angels OF mankind
sat in close embrace and the night was drawing on
Then the angel of slumber arose from his messy
couch and scattered with nOiseless hands the IN
visible seeds of Sleep The evening breeze bore
them to the peaceful habtaton of the wearied hus-
bandnan. Then sweet Sleep embraced the IN
mates of the rural cot from the old man leaning on
his staff even TO the infant in the cradle Inc
scl, forgot his pain, the mourner his sorrow, the
destitute his cares-all eyes closed. .
Now, after this work was accomplished, inns
kind genius lay down again beside his sterner pro-
Their. When the morning dawns," exclaimed he,
with iovolls Innocence then will the world bless
me as lis friend and benefaetor Oh! what pleas
ure to do GOOD unseen and secretly! How happy
are we invisible messengers of the good spirit.
How lovely our silent vocation
Tins snake the friendly angel of sleep; the death
ANGEL looked At him with worthless sorrow, and a

HAb! nv brother, /" answered the angel of sleep,
&c will not the good man, at his awakening, recog-
nize in thee also his friend, and bless thee with
gratitude Are we not brothers and messengers OF
the same Father +"
Thus he spake then the eye of the death angel
cleaned, and the brother spirits embraced each
other tenderly.-K rltmnacher. .tsf F.fs

From the Southern Literary Messenger.
THE FORSAKEN.. BY MRS. LEWIS.
1t hath been said-for all who die
There is tear;
Some pinng, bleeding heart to sigh 81 ...
Der every bier = ... .a.
But in that hour Of pain and dread
Who will draw near
Around my humble couch and shed
One farewell tear?
Who watch my lifes departing ray
In deep despair
And sO0th my spirit on its way
With holy prayer!
What mOuTner round my bier will come
In " weeds of wO'
And follow me 10 my long home
Solemn and slow
When living on my cayey bed
In icy sleep,
Who there by pure affection led
VIII come and weep
By the pale moon implant the rose
Upon my breast,
And bid il cheer my dark repose-
My lowly rest!
Could but know when | am sleeping
Low IN the ground
One faithful heart would there be keeping
Watch all night round
AS If some gem lay shrned beneath
That sod's cold gloom,
Twould mitigate the pangs of death
And light the tomb.
Yes, in that hour if could feel
From halls of gee
And Beauty's presence one would steal
In secresy,
And come and sit and weep by me
In nights deep noon
Oh / wOuld ask of Memory
No other boon.
But all! a lonelier fate is mine
A deeper wO:
From all love IN youth S sweet time
soon must GO
Draw found me my cold robes of white,
To sleep through Deaths long dreamless night,

RECIPE FOR FINISHING A YOUNG LADY
Take daughter of person who has money, but
not much information and if she be an only child,
so much the better for your purpose. Stuff her
with plumb cake and praise till she is nine; then
teach her the horn-book, and let her practice for
three or four years at such reading as may be Sc
lected for her by Mary, the maid of all work-the
said Mary taking especial care that Miss is her
confidant in all her little matters in the sweet
hearing line. When she enters her thirteenth
year, send her to Miss Diddefdget's :" Establish
ment' to be finished. Here she must read little
and spell some, but avoid everything like grammar
as a vulgarity and plague. Put her up to JUOOLy-
tooo, parJey-troo little, and she is Frenchifed.
Strum her up six octaves and half of the piandr,
and down again, and make her look charming at
the harp, and she is nausi-ked. Inform her that
TameFlane succeeded Charles the Twelfth as En-
peror Of China and that Julius Caesar defeated Ol-
liver Cromwell on the banks of the Macquarrle
river, in Nova Zemba, and she is completely has
fortified. Tell her that Chimberraco is great salt
lake in Arabia and that the Pc is burning noun
tain in Arabia Felix, and let her give whirl or
two to the globe and point out the longitude of the
Arctic Pole, and the latitude of the equator, and
she is geographical. Make her waltz for three
hours in a week with French valet out Of place,
and she is attttudini1ed. The other accomplish
ments may be obtained for money, without any ex-
ertions on her part So much for ''heddicattOn. "
