My Father.

The weight Of many weary year
Rests on my father now,
And none but silver hairs appear
Above his furrowed brow;
His quiet life has not been spent
In luxury and ease,
But humble scenes, with sweet content,
Have power his heart to please
His hands are hard with honest toll,
But they were never stained
With aught of the unholy spoil @
By dark oppression gained;
For kindly thoughts have ever dweIt
Within his open soul,
And his warm heart has never felt
Stern Avarice's dark control.
Inever from my father heard,
Through all my happy life,
A single false, deceitful word,
Or one fangry strife;
For power or place he has not sought,
But for his country's veal, .. 49, =
His heart has always had a thought
Of patriotic zeal.
The world would call him poor indeed,
And pass him proudly by,
But his calm soul would little heed
The glance of haugty eye;
He may be posr, but at his side
Wheneer take my place,
feel that can gaze with pride,
Upon my fathers face.

PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.
A telegraphic despatch received at London from
Berlin, announces that the Austrian Cabinet has
made formal protest against the convocatlon OF
the German Parliament at Erfurt and that the
Austrian government alluded to the probability OF
an armed interference by Austria in the affairs OF
Germany. The despatch also states that the Prus-
sian government have replied to the Austrian des-
pach BY declaration that Prussia would maintain
her rights.
These accounts have been partially confirmed by
a letter from Berlin to the London Morning Chron-
icIe, which says:
Prince Schw artzenberg recently pointed out to
the Prussan government the dangers likely to arse
from the convocation of Parliament insisting on the
revolutionary tendency to which it would give rise,
and the reaction that would be felt not only in the
Austrian States, but in those of Prussia. Subse-
ouently, Prussia replied, that she had duly weigh
ed all these considerations but that more elevated
and pressing motives urged her to persevere. AS
regards any real dangers to be apprehended, she
should know how to meet them.
