We've traversed life together;
We shared the sunny hours OF Joy,
And biaved The stoiiny weather.

Behind the 'Squirc's pew;
And a stranger in the place,

But You still stead:axt on Your book,

With look and smile benign;
Came up 10 me and took nv hand,
And asked me home TO dine.
Just then you passed Oh, darling wife,
The faiIest ever seen
With golden hair, and violet eyes,
And robe Of emerald green.
The rector called you to his side,
And talked OF times and weather;
So stroiliug gently towards your cot,
We all walked home together.

To Others, read or pray.

But now 1 know your worth.

But never thought you were.
In simple dress Of silvery grey,
And belt Of azure blue;
A wreath of hare bells round your hat,
All sparkling with the dew
You looked 70 lovely with those curs.
All cIust'ring round yaur brow,

Maryland and La Perriere gave way and
fell with frightful crash. The commolion
caused all the houses of the village to shake
for more than two minutes. We thought
We were about to be swallowed up by an
earthquake. When things became some
what calm. saw mass of stone. sand and
earth, surmounted by cloud ofdust, fill
ing all the valley, and stone, earth, aud
sand, continued to fall for seven minutes.
From time to time the fall recommended,
but with less noise
1.-The first fall shook all the houses on
the other side of the Arve; but it appears.
that no one was injured. Nearly all the
trees in q wood have been broken down. -
The road and the marsh. which are between
the river and the mountain, are covered to-
= length Of upwards of 100 yards, auda
width of about &c. with stones OF all sizes
to depth of more than ten feet 1t is cal
culated that the fall took place from near
the village of Pernabs. at height OF about
5o7 yards. There is a probability that
further fall will take place; but it is net
likely TO enaanger the village Of Maryland.
