And HE hea IT SEEMED 'lgh, aHe free,
As 1t throbbed for dear-lovely one
Too rure, too pure for me

All holy, fond and true:

And the nieEtt-otbs Eisien fair,

And see Her spirit there.
I see her now as she used TO SIT
By the mnrmuring brooklel's shore,

Into spray as they circled DER.
Oh the flowers smile in the summer breeze,
And the gay birds MARBLE near
But the scene is changed, and memories come,
Like dirge DER d loved ones bier.
For she is gone, and her joyous laugh
Is husbed in silence deep,
And she sleeps in the land Of dreams
Het vieils the angels Keep:
And TOW; the stars their pale light shed,
Like emelalds in the sea,
| close my eyes and dream Of her
Alas! does she dream Of me?

Finding the Lynch Pin.

A countryman was passing along one OF
the streets OF Baltimore with his wagon, a
few days sinee, when one Of his wheels
came off, and he discovered that Inch
pin was gone. After searching for some
time. he offered the boys who congregated,
shilling to find it. They then joined in
the search, and in few minutes one OF
them brought him what be supposed to be
the pin. Having adjusted the wheel, he
paid the shilling and started of, but had
not gone more than half block before a
wheel on the other side came of, when he
discovered that the young rascal had stolen
the pin from one of the other wheels to
obtain the reward. He was one Of the
"Young America" boys.

MISCELLAN EOUS.
Countess of Exeter.

II am no teller Of stories," says Hazlett,
"yet there IS one belonging TO Burleigh
House of which happen to know some
Of fie particulars. The late Earl of Exeter
was divorced from his wife, woman Of
fashioo and Of somewhat ttofe gaiety Of
manners than lords who love their ladies'
like. He determined to look out a second
in ah humble sphere Of life and that it
sii0tald be one who having no knowledge
of his rank, should love him for himself
alone. For this purpose he went and
settled incognito under the name Of Mr..
James at Horner, an obscure village in
Shropshire. He fffade oyeitures to one OF
two damselsin the neighborhood, but they
were too kno sing to be taken in by him.
His manners were no: boorish: his mode Of
life was retired: it was edd how b. got his
livelihood and at last he began to be
thought to be highwavman. In this
dilemma he turned to Miss Hoggins the
eldest Daughter of small farmer at whose
house he lodged. Miss Hoggins it would
seem had not been used to romp with the
village clowns: there was something in the
manner Of thei. quiet and eccentric guest
which she liked. Having inspired her
with that kind Of regard which he wished,
for he made honorable proposals to her
without his letting her know who he was.
They set off in postchaise from her faith
er's house and travelled across the country.
In this manner they arrived at Stamford
and passed throug che town without
stopping till they came to the entrance Of
Burleigh Park which is on the outside OF
it. The gates flew open and the chaise
entered and drove down the long avenue
Of trees that lead up to the front Of ftas
fine old mansion. As they drew near to
it, aud she seemed little surprised at
wRe!e they were going, her husband
said, "Well my dear this is Bnrleigh House
il is the house l promised to bring you to:
and you are the Countess Of Exeter. II
is said that the shock of this discovery
was too much Tor the young creature and
that she never recovered from it. II was
a sensation worth dying for. The world
was worth making had it only been for
this. never wished to have been lord
but when think of this story"
