The sou,h's artistic strain;
And fancied that the Heaven Of sound
Fell in melodous rain
listened till the raptured sense
To wild amazement grew.
Wondering if Nightingsles inc eed
Could sing as sweet as you.
But when you sung your native s'ng.
heard the gushing rills,
And felt the bracing winds that blow
Among your Swedish hills;
I safe no more id Tripler Hall,
But high amongst the rocks,
And saw the herdsmen as they cried,
Responsive to their hocks.
Ard ''huahl huahl' to my ear,
By distance made more sweet,
Came echoed back until the sounds
Were gurgling at my feet,
And so | said, a happy land
The land of Swede must be,
When every gale that watts her clouds
Is full Of melody
Your singing ceased, oh Northern birdl
Yet still the Herdsman's call
When floating round the frescoed forms,
That bent DER Tripler Hail.

A language to the heart!

NY old Brown Coat and Me.


The moon is up, the stars arc out,
The birds ars singing free;
Then listen while sing about
My old brown coat and me.
4. ~ NV father was an honest man,
Though very poor was he;
He lived in yonder little cot
That stands beside the lea.
Il toilsd upon my fathers farm.
Till was twenty-one,
Then took a little farm myself.
And manhoods life begun.
Iwore coat Of homespun brown.
..F II was not fair to see,
Aud all the maidens in the town
Laughed at my coat and me.
fell in love with Mary Braid,
Whose father kept the store.
And never was maiden loved
More teudery before.
But Mary she was very proud.
Aud naughty could be,
She told lne size would never wed
My old brown coat and me.
i did not stop to plead my case,
For pleading had been yaini
said farewell to Mary Braid,
Nor her face again.
I'm forty summers old to-day,
And riches hll my store;
My children the sward at play,
My wife sings at the door,
I've lands enough, and money now
And honors are in fee,
And ev ry maiden in tue town
Respects my coat and me.
For have grain upon my lands,
My house is proud and high,
And there are none in all the town
Can wear such cloth as
But Mary Braid that so despisod
My old brown coat and me,
Was married to the lawyers sson,
His name was Jason Lee
Hewore suit of shiny black,
And talked so proud and great,
That Mary fancied he would make
rich aud noble mate.
But now, aasl her husband roams
plrute on the sea,
And Mary wishes she had wed
My old brown coat and me.
Then listen maidens, TO my song,
For lis of countless price,
Reflect upon the truths sing,
And treasure this advice.
Remember that an old browa coat,
Though not 50 very grand.
May cover up as great heart
As any in the land.
And when you're called upon to choose,
From "beaux' that bend the knee,
Just think upon her fate who scorned
My Old brown coat and me.

SHAMsyuL TaEArMEnT.--The n. York
Sunday Courier states that Miss Fanny
Wallack the beautiful and accomplished ac-
tress, is alrnos, ruined in consequence Of
disappointed love. 81. was said that while
she was engaged at The Broadway Theatre,
the most ardent professions of love were
made TO her 10y an actor connected with the
same establishment, who finally succeeded
in winning her affections, and, when he be-
came satisfied that he had thus Ear triumph
ed, he diyulged TO her The fact that he was
n married man, and that his wife was then
on her passage to this country from Europe
What earthly motive possesses the heartless
hound to blast she hopes of this young girl,
we cannot conceive. She, stunned by the
revelation, sought to quench her bitter dis
appointment in strong drink, and several
times on the stage, before she left New
York, il was evident that she had become
careless of the worlds good opinions" A
contemporary trusts that flrefrie,nis of the
unhappy girl may counsel her TO a wiser
course and inspire her with determination
to DO true to herself however false another
may have been.
