The Dead.

How seldom do we think of the dead
Although we sit around the same hearth
where they once sat, and read from the
same volume they SO loved to peruse
yet we do not often think of them. Oh,
how the heart throbs with wild and un.
comfortable emotions, as we stand be
side the dying friend we dearly love
We wildly strive, but all in vain, to
prolong the precious life; we follow in
deepest anguish down the dark flowing
river; the spirit of the loved one passes
onward alone-and we are left 10 linger
on the shores of time. We think, as
we behold the inanimate form consigned
TO the cold grave and hear the damp
earth rattle over it, that we will never
forget the life scenes OF the departed
that their me moiy will always re main
fresh in our hearts, and almost wonder
that the busy multitude can move on SO
briskly around us. But the sun shines
brightly as ever on the new made grave.
Nature looks as gay and smiling, and
the birds sing merrily as before, Again
we mingle with the busy, jostling ,hrong.
Weeks and months roll on-we Wis.,;
the grave less frequently--and gradually
cease 10 think Of The lost ones, save
when some sweet voice or incident OF
by gone days recalls them 10 our memo
ry. The feelings of bitter anguish and
bereavement are soon worn off by the
accumula,ing cares and pleasures ofli
Thus we, in turn, must ere long pass
away, and be forgotten. Such is huma n
life.

A BEAUTIFUL THoUGHT.-Shortly af
ter her arrival, where Mrs. Hemans
died, she was extremely unwel. When
among the mountain scenery Of the fine
country of Wicklow during storm
she was struck by one effect in the hills.
It was produced by rainbow diving
down into gloomy mountain pass,
which it seemed really to food with lis
colored glory. 81 could not help think
ing" she remarked, "that it was like
our religion, piercing and carrying
brightness into the depths OF sorrow
and OF the tomb" All the rest Of the
scene around that one illuminat ted spo t
was wrapt in the profoandest darkness.

Nay, cease thy wrong accusings now,
For since stood with thee
And watchd the tiny roseleaves swell,
Beneath the maple tree,
I've leaned upon no other arm,
Nor caught no lovers eye,
Bat shut my love within my heart
To wither there and die.
Thou vert my first-my only love,
And well bring to mind;
The wreath of cedar once you bound,
Upon this brow of mne
And swore your love.should ever twine
Around my trusting heart,
And be through life my evergreen,
Till death the wreath should part.
And have never yet forgot
The time we wandered far,
To watch the swelling buds of spring,
And seek the ''loyer's star !"
How when you found the trembling flower,
You placed it in my hair,
And said, IAN emblem of my love,
This gentle aowret fair
Alas! i did not know thy words
Would prove so sternly true,
knew not then that summers breath
Would dim the futures hue.
thought not Of the fragile form
The tender leaflets green
was too happy then TO think
OF all flower might mean
Yes, twas simple '..eorul gift"
And bo'e language true,
For very frai! the "lover's star"
Ofpalest pink and blue.
And though my heartwould scarce believe
That thou could'st falsely prove;
Thy long neglect told to my heart
A tale of wasted love.
oh were those happy hours recalld,
Say could trust in thee?
Would vows oft breath'd be stronger for
time of liberty?--
Would no wild doubts come oft between
The perfect happiness
OF those who doubted, and have scorned
Each others truthfulness?
Would loves blue sky be ere as bright
To us, as it has been!
Would sweet thoughts flow in unison,
Tngd with hopes silver sheen?-
Would not the mem'ry of these hours
Embitter future dreams,
And shade our life with heavy clouds,
Through which no sunlight CLEANS:
Oh. had we never, nerer met,
Then life had been as bright
As when its morning dawn'd on us,
In loves pure, holy light;
As when we first strayd forth at eve,
To meet the gentle moon,
And exchange meath the ice bound oak,
Some wellprized precious boon.
Deep In my heart sweet pictures lie,
Of happy, joyous hours,
When you and 1, loves garden roamd,
And gathered hopes bright flowers.
But Ger those pictures, time has thrown
Dark sorrows veil of night:
Through which no sunbeam ever creeps
The darkness ere to light
And then the ring-the pledge gave
You with my trusting heart,
And babe thee keep it filthy lore
Should claim tcith me no part
Until the. tress of hair you stole
Should cease to WELD charm,
And rest no longer on thy breast
guard against all harm.
0h,it thy heart bears me no lore,
Return the ei'clet fair,
And send me 10Th IL, too, Ipray,
That seuered curl of hair.
But if there rests a kindly thought
In thy proud bosom get,
Then keep them bath in friendship, for
Your sincere friend, NASSErrR.
