LINES:

WRITTEN on seeing the Picture of a child sleep
ing on the margin Of a stream-on one side o
him Law few fishes; and on the other, watch
ing over him, stands his faithful dog Rorer.
Child ofthe vernal hours, in sleep reclined,
would not rouse thee from thy peaceful rest;
Nor wake one echo of the woods, unkind,
To start the faithful dog that guards thy breast.
Mol slumber on-the spirits of the just
Bend over thee in love, and, in thy dreams,
Breathe pure and holy thoughts Of other spheres,
Where other kindred minds bask in the beams
OF Heavens perpetual sunshine, where all tears
Are dried up in the sun Of her eternal years!
Lulled by the murmur Of the placid stream
or whispering leaves by zephyrs' breath sof
famed
Thou hast grown tired Of angling, as deem,
And fallen asleep to dream Of Fairy Land,
Leaving thy ROVER sentinel to stand.
Sleep on in peace! the time will come, full soon,
When thou in Life's grea. drama shalt take part
As poet, orator, sage, or bufoon,
Or lay nane upon ssthe Worlds great heart,"
To chill awhile her pulses, and unmourned depart!
Sleep on, and take thy rest! thou may'st not know
The bitterness which years. experience prove
T. those, who, drinking deep Earth's cup Of woes,
Have learned how sad it is to live and move
mid sin and sorrow, bighted hope and love;
And still live on, in trust that coming time
MAY bring some guerdon, looked for long in vain:
And, thus inspired, have risen o'er Fate sublime,
Bearing their prov superior o'er Life's main,
Where pillows madly roll, and stormy winds complain

GTIGE is DEADw

The following is from the Chicago Jour.
nal; the editor Of which possesses the hap.
py faculty Of dressing up little incidents
in the language Of the heart, as the follow.
ing will testify
"TIGE Is DEADn' sobbed Kitty L. and
Nelly d. somebody's dear little hopes, one
sweet six and other just turned Of two mn
evening or two since--"Iige is dd-dead!
they sobbed and Kitty threw herself down
upon the little pet aud like Rachel would
not be comforted.
True, "Tige" was nothing but little
dog Of no great value as the world goes
but notwithstanding all that he had proved
Ktty's and Nelly's friend and somebody
had poisoned him and their experience in
human life was fairly begun.
At that moment we venture TO say, they
were as truly poets as he who sang,
Friend after friend departs.
Who has not lost a friend
There is no union here Of hearts,
That hath not here an end.
| But no matter for that now the creature
that had gambo!ed and frisked, and utter
ed bis sympathy with his little companions
as we'll as he could, was molioness. Kit
ty couldn't understand it.
"Tigo is asleep?"
sNo he is dead"
"Dead? What is dead"
1t was puzzler and it brought tiny
cloud Of thought over her eyes and brow
Do you remember patient reader, when
first that idea of dead, struggled clearly in.
to your comprehension? How reluctantly
and painfully il crept along like funeral
procession? Observation-Disclosures
Cling with the elements struck out Of life
aud light, no more mornings no more eve
nings-DEAD!
Hyou do, then memory yet can recall the
chill with which the truth came down as
Homer makes the God TO come, alike night
upon the spirit that" all that live, shall
share that destiny, and lie down at last in
the great mausoleum of Natures making.
But truce to the homily if it be a hom'
lily. There was reality in that griet
that funeral pageants are strangers to-
There's many man might envy "Tige'
his mourning, il not his obsequies-many
man has lived his sfourscore years. and
eked them out the ten with piping tones
aud trembling steps who left fewer friends
by exactly two than wept Ger Tige than
weep him still.
To die like dog is one thing, but to
be mourned like ''Tige" is quite another.

A SCENE IN THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.


The New York Mirror gives some par
ticnlars Of the recent visit Of President
Fillmore to the Lunatic Asylum. The fol-
lowing is brief extract:
On entering the chapel where some two
hundred Of these unfortunates were scat
ed, the overseer introduced the President
Of the U. States, when all rose, respectful
ly bowed, and resumed their seats. Each
member of. the party was then introduced
by name, when the same ceremony was
profoundly repeated. DR.. Mallhy, wise
lunatic, then arose and welcomed the Pres
ident in strain Of graceful and touching
eloqnence that drew tears from every eyA
He is tall, thin, pale man, with penetra-
ting eyes, a fine voice, and gestures be-
longing TO the polite oratory cf 1gentlomen
Of the old school," The Presidents reply
was also very happy and affecting. So
orderly and so we'll behaved company
surely has not greeted him in all his trav-
els. In one Of the female wards the whole
party was individually introduced to Ill
elegantly dressed, and most accomplished
lady, the daughter Of one Of the most dir
tinguished lawyers N. York has ever pro-
duced. She had-the right word ready fcr
every one who addressed her, and present.
ed the President with sweet little boquet
of her own arranging, in the most tasteful
and graceful manner. We saw the Same
act of presentation performed . hundred
times, but in no instance with such exquis-
ite simplicity and grace as marked the
offering of this accomplished lady. She
is about forty years Of age; and ia mem
tioniug the names ofthe distinguished mon
she had entertained at her fathers house,
added--:but for The last seven years have
been very mach out Of the world"
There was young girl in the Asylum,
who also attracted much attention BY her
beauty of person and elegance of dress.-
She did not appear to be over II years Of
age. and there was not the slightest indi-
cation otlunacy, or even Of s'irregulasi.y"
about her.
She stood in the door Of her room, which
was adorned with flowers, gracefully ac-
knowlcdging the bows Of the visitors.
though no one presumed to speak % her.
She wore beautiful wreath Of peach and
cherry blossoms in her dark hair, the only
ornaments appropriate to her rare and
touching beauty. Thinking OF the "fair
Ophela" and the heart-broken aBride Of
Lammermoor," and all the delicate femin-
inc harps,rings that were ever broken by
sorrow or sin, we left the beautiful Lunstic,
and for hours afterwards, every sound
seemed moan, every breeze sigh, sud
even the ''drops Of the morning. which
glistened in the flowers, looked more like
tears Of sadness than gems Of JOY.
