And yet my heart was hafllns sair,
For when is eye it beamed on me,
A withering death-like glance was there,

That life was young and love was free,

And hameward hied the janty beei
We pledged our love and plighted troth,
But cauld, cauld was the kiss he gave,

And naught would do but silent mourn.

age, the only son Of a poor shoemaker
Of Bologna, in defending his little dog
from the attacks of a large dog belong
ing to an Austrian officer, killed the
dog. For this the lad was sentenced
to receive twenty-five strokes of the
bastinado; but at the seventeenth blow
the child expired. This piece Of cruelty
so affected the father that he became
frantic; and, armed with stiletto, fol-
lowed the Austrian officer to a coffee
house and despatched him without in
reference from the bystanders, and
then escaped. $50
