NlcHT.-Night! The pulse of the great
city lies still. The echo of hurrying feet has
long since died away. The maiden dreams
OF her lover the wife, of her absent husband;
the sick, Of health; the captive of freedom.
Softly falls the moonlight on those quiet
dwellings; yet under those roofs are hearts
that are throbbing and breaking with misery
too hopeless for tears; forms bent before their
time with crushing sorrow; lips that never
smile, save when some hooking dream comes
to render the morrow's waking, tenfold more
bitter. There, on mothers faithful breast,
calm and beautiful, lies the holy brow of in
fancy. Oh! could it but pass away thus ere
the bow Of promise has ceased to span its
feaiure-ere that sercnest sky be darkencd
With lowering clOuds-ere that loving heart
shall feel the death .pang of despair.
There, too, sits Remorse, clothed in purple
and fine linen, tlle worm that never dieth.'
hid in its shining folds. There, the weary
watcher by the Couch of pain, the dull ticking
of the clock striking to the heart namcless
terror. With straining eye, its hours are
counted; with nervous hand, the draught that
brings no healing, is held to tho palIid lip.
The measured tread of the Waterman, as
he passes his round; the distant rumble Of the
coach; percl,ance the dsjointed fragment Of a
song from bacchanalian lips alone breaks the
solemn stiffness. At such an hour, serious
thoughts, like unbidden guests, rush in. Life
appears like the dream it is. Eternity, the
waking; and, involuntarily, the most careless
! eye looks up appeaIingly to Him by whom
the hairs of our heads are all numbered.
Blessed Night! Wrap thy dark mantle
round these weary earthly pilgrims. Over
them all, the Eye that never slumbereth
kcepcth its tirclcss watch. Never flutterins
sigh escapes human breast unheard by thai
plying ear. Never an unspoken prayer fol
help that finds not its plying response in thu
bosom Of Infinite mercy. FANNY FEEs.

piled, "it is foolish request, for as soon as
get you out shall eat YOU" The mouse pi.
teously replied, shat would be far better
than to be drowned in beer" The cat lifted
him out, but the fumc of the beer caused

in hole. The cat called upon the mouse to
come out -"Did yon not promise that
