Lines written on the Death of Anna
Hammond.

Little babe like angel vision
Seemed thy short and transient stay,
Then from earth to fields Elysian
Thou didst plume thy fight away.
Little winter bird" we named thee,
Loved thee in thy helplessncss
Yet, unseen, an angel claimed thee,
Leaving us in loneliness.
Say lost darling little bird,
Hast thou all our mourning heard
Yes, my mother, have heard thee;
have seen thee weep and pray
And my wings have almost stirred thee,
When I've turned TO heaven away.
Not all helpless now my spirit,
As on earth l was to thee,
For, from God now inherit
Life unfettered, full and free;
And around thy home hover
Harp for tlrce thy hymns Of praise
Watch my Father and my Mother,
Aud my little Sisters ways.
Here, my parents, when we meet
We thy children at thy feet
Will attune our harps of gold
Closer, closer to thee fold,
While our song of gladness sings
Glory to the "King of kings"

Forget Me MOTTO M. A. b.

Forget me not,
When far away,
In halls of mirth and revelry,
Where lovely forms
Their grace display.
Forget me not
In early even,
When dreams of earthly bliss are given,
And friendship pure,
With hopes of heaven.
Forget me not,
In deepest night,
When glittering stars are pecring bright,
Through darkened skies,
With tender light.
Forget me not,
When holy sleep
Has fed from eyes that wake to weep
For blighted hopes,
And vigils keep.
Forget me not
When signs and tears
Are freely given for Memories dear,
OF friends that passed
In carly years.
Forget me not,
In pensivc hours,
When disappointment round thee lowers,
And sad regret,
With magic powers.
Forget me not,
When am dead
My form consigned to its earthly bed
And lovely flowers
Spring DER my head. "A. L,

MRS. STOWE In ENGLAND.

Wilmer and Smiths European Times con
tains regular narrative Of the doings of Mrs.
Stowe since her arrival in England. Imme-
diately on landing, she was conducted to Din.
gle Bank, the residence OF John Chopper, ESQ :,
in company with her brother, Mr.. Beecher, and
her husband, Professor Stowe. We are told
by the Times that Mrs. Stowe received the
congratulations of the company assembled
with unaffected simplicity, and seemed "utter-
ly unconscious of having done any thing to
merit such attention !" We should like to
know what she ventured across the water for,
it she had no suspicion that she had done
something of the kind.
The company having become reconciled to
the overpowering blaze of the comet thus
brought into conta ct with them, the Rev. DIR.

of delicate appearance. The Mayor then called

been taken off by the blows from a lash or hide,

Mr. P. l.. Woodson stated that he lie. Findley have

Findley had told him (Wilkinson) that he came

going to the cage Sunday morning, and seeing the

The Mayor stated that there was no stronger pro.
