LINES TO AN ABSENT SISTER.
Sister. would that thou vert here,
Our lonely home again to cheer,
And with thy smile and gentle voice,
Once more our saddend henrts rejoice:
For, oh! We miss thy sweet Young face
Away from its cuslomed place,
Whene'er around the social hearth
Are met the few we love on earth.
And then we weep. but oft we chide
The swelling of afec'ion's tide;
For well we know that joy is now
Wreu,hing her gayIands round thy brow,
And meath the warm sunlight Of love,
Thou dost in thy young beauty move;
Yet oft as thy loved name is heard
Our bosom's yelling founts are s,irr'd,
BY mem'ry of some look, or tone.
ina. 'hou hast brea'''d, or lh. hast wcru
And round are thousand things
That back TO us thine image brings:
A book or flower, or some low strain
or music. often brings again
The fairy form and smiling face
That used these silent balls to grace.
We sigh to think, to us no more
Thonl't be, as in the days Of yore;
But may that love. untred and new.
TO which thou hast gone, be ever true,
And changeless as the love that we
Have ever felt, dear girl, for thee.

THE ADMINISTRATION.

The annexed brief but comprehensive

dria Gazette. 1t is the dictate Of candid
and well informed Judgment. and it is sell
dom that there are found in any journal so
many truths in so few lines. So obviously
just, indeed. are these views of the Admin.
istra'ion, that we doubt if there could be
found an intelligent man, not mere trader
in party politics, who would be willing to
dispute their correctness:
"The course of the Administration is so
emnen'ly nnfionol md pntriotlc That we
see it is extremely difficult for the opposi-
tlon presses to direct any serious assaults
against its measures. 1t presents no points

A Fnht MENT.


But there were heavingS at the breast O
her who wns upon It's bank. The lille.
leaned in gentle slumber. But in weary
wnkefu mess stood the ma den-a maiden
| though amidst her fanny locks hung many
a silvery thread---a maiden. though tawny
and toothless-a, nsi idrn, though deep lines
were at her visagc, channels which Time
had worn in his march during fifty leaden
years-a maiden. though the stream at her
|fe's fountain ran dark and dull, touched
| by the banefu' breath Of care and the gas of
grief. Care and o'ier had come to her in
her early lay js ust 10 ''er came not the
youths with the. sender giances; and nc-
cents which told Of love. They came not
even at the rustic of her starched aces, the
huttcrirg Of her pink ribbons, the shining
Of her brazen finger rings. They came not
for the blush of the roses which she had
cultivated upon her cheeks. They came not
for all the sorccry Of the smiles into which
she hsd trained hor lips to wrihe.
With heaving ches: the maiden stood gaz-
ing upon the sleeping lilies. They were nt
rest, upborne by the kindly waters-no con-
nubia bosom was fondIy bared. on which,
weary with years and worn with sorrow.
she could lay her brad and sweetIy repose.
And she wished tEIt she might be at rest
with ,hcm-miGh wash away her troubles.
and swim to the world where troublings
come not-"where there's no marrying und
10 giving in niarriage."
No marrying and no giving in marriage!
At the thought sadder became her eyes, and
moro heavily toicd at her breast the hand
Which moved the wheel of life. She turned
and looked towards hat dreary world. The
stars were assembled, twinkling one at
another lovingly, and the man in the moon
terdery smiled down uHon her. Then her
vsage beamed, and there burst sound of
gladness from her lips. The lakeet echoed
the cry. then seemed to lie more sercnely as
kindly inviting her 70 its rcpose. Towards
Tie smiling orb she ups'retchcd her long
arms, and stood. unhecdlul of the moments
as they g!ided away, eagerly and joyfully
watching its ascension. At length it's high
est point in the heavens was reached when
suddenly her arms half.folded themselves
together as II cIas;,.hg sO.nc .,,eci. whi'o
she closed her eyes and dropped back her
head like an infant that, fearless of danger,
sinks to sleep in its mothers embrace.
There was stirring. a splashing. in the
quiet lakclet. The lilies started into wake
fulness. and waved gently TO and fro, and
from the midst arose murmur. as i; were
the breath of n spirit soaring to heaven.
But moment. and all was still again -
Beneath the clear water lay the maiden
Her arms were still half folded, and upon
her bosom hovared The man in the moon
There was no rigidity in her limbs. TIE
ghas,iness of death found not place upon
her features. She slept peacefully with the
slumbering lilies.
