WHERE REST MAY BE FOUND.
Tell me, ye winged winds,
That round my pathway roar,
s.- Do you not know some spot
Where morfaIs weep no more
Some lone and pleasant dell,
Some valley in the West,
Where, free from toll and pain,
The weary soul may restf
The low winds softened in a whisper low,
And sighed for pity, as they answered-'No
Tell me, thou mighty deep,
Whose pillows round me play,
Know'st thou some favored spot,
Some island far away,
Where wretched man may find
The bliss for which he sighs
Where sorrow never lives,
And friendship never dies.i

Stopped for a while, and answered-sN No >
And thou, serenest moon, A,

Dost look upon the earth,
Asleep in nights emoraee-
Tell me, in all thy rounds,

Where miserable man
Might find happier lot %

And sweet, but sad, responded Mol
Tell me, my secret soul,
o! tell me, Hope and Faith,

From sorrow, sin, and death3

aLET ME SLEEP. .

+
9Let me sleep" said my companion,
half pettishly, turning from my couch
"Let me sleep" The words haunted
my memory for hours afterwards. How
cf .en has the wish been breathed in this
weary world, "Oh, let me Sleep"
The man whose conscience lashes him
for his misdeeds-evils committed and
repented of-cries, as he drops his head
into his thorny pillow, g Let me sleepro
The mourned who has seen some bright
and beautiful one fade from his embrace
like summer flower nipped by a too
early frost, bows his head above the pal
lid face of the PROSTATE form, and sighs,
in the agony Of his soul-aLet me sleeyl
with the owed one whose smile never
will welcome nay footsteps more.o
"Let me Sleep says the traveller, who,
foot-sore and weary, has toiled long in
the world, and seen hopes perish, unful-
filed joys wither ere they are tasted,
friendship, which he thought enduring,
changing hue like chameleons and rain.
bow promises, fading and melting into
-colorless air-"Ohlet sleep, for I ana
weary"
The rosy-cheeked child, the bright
eyed maiden, those for whom life puts
n its finest aspect, its most endearing
smiles, all have periods in which they
long for sleep, for the oblivion of all care,
in which the waters of Lethe may flow
darkly and deeply over them.
There coneth sleep unto ala sleep
deep, hushed and breathless. The roar
of cannon, the deep-toned thunder-bolt,
the shock of an earthquake, or the rush
of ten Thousand armies cannot break up
its still repose. With mute lips and
folded arms, one after another the ephe--
mera of earth sinks down into darkness
and nothingness No intruding footsteps
shall jar upon their rest, no disturbing
touch shall wiring from them the excla-
nation" Let me Sleep,

The STATE OF RUSSIA letter from
Leipsic, in the Paris Monateasr, gives the
following gloomy picture of the CON
diticn of the poorer classes in st. Peters
burgh.
Letters from st. Petersburg give a
very gloomy picture of the situation of
the working classes in Russia. The
priyations which the war imposes on the
population are sensibly felt, especially
in. the capital, on account of the dear
ness of conveyance by land during the
summer. Provisions of all kinds, even
bread, are enormously dear. The wives
and. children of the soldiers of the re-
serve and of the veterans have followed
them into the towns. They efcamp in
the streets, and live on public charity.
Discouragement is everywhere There
is but little coal left in the store houses
of the government, and private manu-
factories will soon be obliged to suspend
their operations on account of the want
of fuel. 1t is more than doubtful that,
as has been stated, coal mine has been
discovered in Russia. The celebrated
English geologist, Sir Roderick Murchi-
son, does not hesitate to declare that
such discovery is impossible.
