I'm thinking on thy smile, Mary
Thy bright and trusting smile;

And mine eyes looked into thine,
And the heart that throbbed for me alone

Ind many an eye of light and love

But the smile is not for my poor heart,
And the eye is strange to me,

When its memory turns to thee
I'm thinking Of the night, Mary,

And thy bosom wildly heaved,

Though thy heart was sorcly grieved.
But the smile soon left thy lips. Mary,
All, thine eye grew dim and sad;
For the tempter lured my steps from thee,
And the wine-cup drove me mad.
From tlIv cheeks the roses euickly fled,
And thy ringing laugh was gone, .-.
Yet thy heart still fondly clung TO NE,
And still kept trusting on.
0! my words were harsh to thee, Mary,
For the wine-cup drove me wild:
And child thee when thine eyes were sad
And cursed thee when they smiled
God knows loved thee even then,
But the fire was in my brain,
And the curse of drink was in my heart
To make my love u bane.
Twas pleasant home Of ours, Mary,
in the spring-time of our life
When looked upon thy sunny face
And proudly called thee wife
And twas pleasant when our children playel
Before our cottage door:
But the children sleep with thee, Mary,

And no stone is at thy head!

Fata. Consequences of Folly.

An occurrence, which happened at a young
ladies' seminary in New York, is mentioned il
the Times of tina: city, which presents another
proof of the folly of indulging in the thought
less practice of attempting to frighten others.
Two of the young ladies in the institution were
engaged in their own room, conversing upon the
science o. anatomy, in the CT which one
of them proceeded to relate some experience sbo
had formerly acquired in dissectins room.
Just as the conversation reached this point, the
door of the room OF ened and another of the
inmates of the seminary entered with SOW and
solemn tread, having white sheet wrapped
about her form, and her face powdered TO per-
feet whiteness, her jet-black hair, eyes and
brows presenting contrast which gave i start
ling lividaesS to hsr ghoSt-like coUn ena &C, Tie
lady who was relating her experience rs already
stated, is said to be mentally superior to any Of
her classmates, and noted for her strength Of
mind and freedom from nervousness and absurd
sensibiity. So sudden, however, was the ap-
proach of the figure, just IT moment when her
mind was least prepared for any thing associated
with thoughts OF the dead, that upon beholding
the appar.tion she fell Senseless TO the door, and
awoke TO the scenes around her only 10 sho%
her an xious attendants that reason had fed and
left sad tokens of the mental wreck. At last
accounts, no change was discsveratle in the dis
tressing symptoms of the unf, rtanate girl, and
there is little encouragement to hope that rea-
sou will ever resume its seat. This occurrence
of course, has produced much distress. both in
the seminary and in the families of the respect
i've parties.
