of editor matter in his last issue, by INFORM
inc his readers that through the week he has
been engaged in sundry law suits, and that at

ono for assault and battery without intent to

BIZ ADA ST. CLARE.
I saw an infant pillowed

Isaw an infant pillowed oit
Upon its mothers breast, e
And w tn maternal tenderness
It's velvet cheeks she pressedb
And of long days and years Of joy,
She told her infant son;--
Alas she little dresmed her child
His course Of life had run. relr
But so it was Death bent above
" And raised his silver wing. 9e
And pointed where the angelic choir
Their heavenly chorus sing,
And hreathed low command, 'twas heart
That but SO kindly given
Was severed from it, parent stalk
To thrive and bloom in heaven
The eve was eantiful and bright,
The stars like diamonds shone;-
Within fragrant bower a maid
Was kneeling all alone;
She prayed for one far, far away,
Who sought and gained her love,
Her trusting heart had never dreamed
That he would fsithless prove.
A year has flown since last they met,
She heedeth still her vow, ,s
But he bows another shrine,
Another listens now.
The love she fondiy claimed as hers,
T.. another he has given;
And she for future happiness
Must trust TO nought but heaven
"There was an idle Tyre in heaven,
Amid the choral band.
A messenger was called upon
To hear his Lords command;
That from among carth's children,
Some favored one he'd bring,
Who had skillful finger
TO sweep the golden string" na
husband gazed upon his bride,
With warm idolatry;
Not conscious of the honor,
That was his destiny.
An angel near him lingerd,
His summons soon was given;
And ere another morning dawued,
He tuned that Tyre in heaven
Earth's joys are thus uncertain,
Our dearest hopes decay;
For all that's good. and beautiful,
Must shortly pass away.
Like the dew drop on the howret,
The snow fake ont he river;
They sparkle but moment
Then melt away forever.
