When I saw Sweet Nelly Home
BY MARY FRANCIS KYLE.

Our readers will agree with us that tn
following lines are very fne-equaly tende
in sentiment and melodious in rhy thm:
In the sky the bright stars elttere1,
On the grass the moonlight feli,
flushed the sound Of daylglt's hustle,
Closed the "Pink.eyed pmperneIl,'
As adown the moss grown wood path
Where the catt love to roam
From aunt Pattie's quilting party
was seeing Nelly home.
Jetty ringlets softly 1uttcred
Ger brow rs white rs snow;
And her cheek the crimson sunset
Scarcely has a warmer glow.
Mid her parted lips vermillion
White teeth flashed like ocean foam;
All marked with pulses ,hrobbing,
While | saw sweet Nelly home.
When the Autumn tinged The greenwood
Turning all its leaves To gold,
In the lawn, by alders shaded,
nv love to Nelly told.
As we stood together, gaHing
On the star bespangled dome,
How blest the August evening
When saw sweet Nelly home.
White hairs mingle with my tressc5,
Furro'Vs steal upon my brow,
But luvc-snle cheers aud bl, sscs
Life's declining moments now;
Marron in the snowy 'kerchief
Closer to MY bosom come:
Tell me, dOst thou still Remember
When saw sweet Nelly home

THE FEM,LE MtND.-The influence of the
'female IN nj over TIE stronger mind of man
is greater, PERHAPS, than many are willing to
acknowledce Its operations ARE various
ard some men struggle te'.rlul'y to disengage
themselves from it. Bot This we believe
that. more or less all men have ft,t its power
and those perhaps have experienced it to the
greatest cxlcnt who would have i. supposed
they despsed it nlost. a woman loses many
of her charms, and consequently much Of
her power in the opinion ot many when she
ranges herself on the site Of that which is
wrong; while it is impossible to calculate The
influence of virtuous women, when that in
fluence is exercised with tet derness and mo-
desty. The ruin produced by bad woman
may be sudden ard vioent, and compared
To the bursting Of a volcano, or the overflow
ings OF the ocean bst the influence Of n
vrtuous w"irHn are like the gentle dew and
morning showers, which descend silently and
softly, and are knew cnly by their effects in
The smiling aspect Of the valleys aud the
weight Of the autumnal branches.
