 1 Could we trace the destinies oi mankind, and penetrate into the secrets of their lives, we should See, oftener than we now suppose, that the work of retribution is accomplished here, to considerable extent, at least. The goods of this world unlawfally gained, are not unfrequently wrenched violently from the grasp, or, if retained, become in some way or other, the curse of life."
 The wife lay on her death-bed. The flames which had entered her vitals, were rapidly finishing the work of destruction; and who can say she had not wrought her own doom.

Could live now, Eugene, and the large tears stood in her eyes, could be with you in poverty, believe that God would grant me the power to make you happy, yes, happi- er than we have been in wealth.

 Had cursed the red mans wondering sight. Timely he left his native wild.
 Aud sought in a crns of peace to roam, Where the spirit chiefs in their happy isle Might welcome him to their blssful home. For on his sons fell a whitening blight.
 Their homes ravaged with sword and fire And the red mans glory sank in night
 When Manitou frewned in his fearful ire- Let no curious white, with unsparing blow, O'erturn the mound or disturb its shade, But long may the turf bloom as green as now O'ex the lovely spot where these bones are laid. White man, respect the halowed spot
 Where sleeps in dust the red man brave: For, though proud marble boasts it not,
 A hero sleeps in this humble grave.

Yes tske them all. oh Death lis sweet indeed, To hear the,r joyous laughter round my door Fondly love them, and my heart would bleed Tu know their forums should press my hearth no mol Yet pang keener still could pierce my heart, And if, oh Death thou plant st n sorrow there, There arc my infants, and with them part;
 Take, take my children, but my husband spare. Sweet were the hours when first my gladdend eye Glazed long, enraptured, on each httie one e; But swe-ier far that moment when tho tie
 Was form'd, which knit his spirit to my own! Bitter indeed, twould be, my babes to lay
 In the cold valley, meath the silent stone; But if, oh Death thou shouldst tear hi,a away, My joys on earth would be forerer flown. '1Ss sweet to see their dark eyes laughing light, Aud hear the music of each little voice; An mie are precious the jewels bright,
 That make the Roman mothers heart rejoice Yet, if they still were left my halls to grace,
 And he within the sepulchre asleep, I'd daily in each smiling infant 8 face, Its fathers mrrord image see-and weep. And when, oh Death. thou huri'st again thy dart. Severing the tie that makes earth donbly dear, Grant that the noisciess shaft may seek fny heart
 Icould not lay him in the sepuchse! If but on him shall rest my dying eyes,
 If he be near my parting bangs to ease, I'll think of those sweet babes beyond the skies,
 Lean on his faithful breast, and die in peace,
