"Hang up his Harp-HcW rake no More:''
The following lines by ELIZA Cook, are &C
tainly pretty. What sayest thou reader?
His young bride stood beside his bed,
Her weeping watch to keep;
Hush! hush he stirred not--was he dead,
Or did he only sleep.
His brow was calm, no change was there,
No sigh had filled his breath;
Oh! did he wear that smile so fair
In slumber or in death?
"Reach down his harp" she wildly cried,
"And if one spark remain,
Let him but hear 'sCoch Erroch's side;"
He'll kindle at the strain"
That tune e'er held his soul in thrall
1t never brea,hed in vain;
He'll waken as its echoes fall,
Or never wake again.
The strings were swept; twas sad to hear
Sweet music floating there;
For every note called forth tear
OF anguish or despair.
"See sect" she cried, ssthe tune is DER,
No opening eye--no breath;
Hang up his harp; he'll wake no more;
He sleeps the sleep Of DEATH"

misfortune, is more apt 10 retrieve his
situation in the world than single one,
chiefly because his spirits are soothed
and relieved by domestic enaearments,
and sell respect kept siivc, BY finding,
that although abroad be darkness and
hdmiliation, yet there is still a little
word of lo5c at home of which he is
monarch. Whereas single man is apt
to run to waste and self.neglsct; to fall
TO rum, like some deserted mansion, for

casion to mark the iortltuee with which
women sustain the most overwh elming
rey.rses of fortune. Those disasters
which break down the spiritof man, and
p:ostrate him in the dust, seem to call
forth all the energies OF the softer sex,
and give such intrepid,ty and elevation
to their character, that at times 1t ap-
proaches TO sublimlty. Nothing can be
more touching than to beheld soft and
tender female who had been all weak
ness and dependence, and alive to every
trivial roughnesS, while treading the
prosperous path OF life, suddenly rising
IN mental force to be thu comforter and
supporter of her husband under mistor-
tunes, abiding with unshrinking frmness

vine which has long twined its graceful
foliage about the oak, and has been lift
ed by it in sunshine, will, when the har-
dy plant is riven by the thunderbolt,
cling round with its caresNng tendrils,
and binds up its shattered brow; so, too,
it is beautifully ordained by Providence
that woman, who is the ornament and
dependant Of man in his happier hours,
should be his stay and solace when smit-
ten with dire and sudden calamity;
winding herself into the rugged recesses
of his nature, tenderly supporting his
dropping head, and binding up the bro
ken heart.
