Written for the Westerly Echo.
Thoughts Alphabetically Arranged.

A side from the folly of earth would be,
Beloved by my neighbors, from satan be free !;
Communion with God he the JOY Of my soul,
Desire truly at heart for faith to be whole.
Expecting each day the great trial to come
For dust to return, and the spirit 60 home.
Give me a TRUE heart, that is humble to pray
Heartfelt religion while on earth be my stay
In beauty and holiness follow my guide,
Justice, with wisdom, follow close by my side
Keep love in my bosom for those that may need,
Loves message so tender will germinate seed.
Mid scenes of confusion, twill quell the hot
strife,
No Statesman, or Warrior, can conqnor its life
Oh, THEN let thy face wear smile OF sweet love
Pass on to the grave you will wear it above
Quietly, sweetly, in Jesus you will sleep,
Returning thee spirit thy Father will keep:
Sweet rest is the Christians not fettered b.
gloom.
Triumphantly shouting,in Heaven there'sroon
IUnmindful are sinners that judgments to com,
Vice, folly and crime, is the work they hav
done;
What death then awaits you in mercy, Oh, try
'Xalted on wings, to the Saviour DO fly.
Y icld not to the tempter,-say, will you ne
come?
Jealous, eternity will soon be thy home,
4 the MOUNTAINS of bliss you never can roam.

Beatrice Lancaster.
BY MIRIAM +. HAMILTON.

1t was late in tho afternoon. A long
row of girls and boys stood in a regular
line before their teacher, in tho little
red school house, resting their spelling
lesson, while the remainder Of the pu-
pills fdgetted in their seats, piled and
replied their books on their desks, and
cast restless, eager giances out at the
open door, and then at the teachers
face, for it was nearly time for dismissal,
and, weary of a long afternoons con6ne
ment, the children could hardly wait for
toe tinkle of the bell-,he signal of their
release. At last the spelling class took
their seats, the bell sounded, and in
stantly there was scene Of confusion
boys rushed out of the door, and gave
vent to their pent up spirits in whoops,
yells and semorscts; and the girls more
quietly, but not less gaily, ran out into
the open air. Soon their merry voices
dled away in the distance, and the teach
or was left alone in that just now crowd
ed school room.
She was a young and striking looking
girl. Her form was erect, her step state
ly, and her features, though irregular,
we're pleasing; her abundant raven hair
was wound in sort of coral around her
head in singular but not unbecoming
fashion her complexion was clear
olive, and her mouth firm ia its express
sien, almost unpleasantly SO when clos
cd, but when she smiled she was posi-.
lively beautiful then her whole counte-
nance changed; her large fiery eye.
grew soft and tender, and the pride and
hauteur that spoke in her every Inca
ment marripg her otherwise almost per.
feet beauty, disappeared.
Just now one of those beaming smileI
lighted up her ccuntenancc she stood
by her desk, in her usual erect position
holding a note, yet unopened, in be-
hand. 1t had been brought To tb,
school room during the session, an,
now that she was alone, she prepared I,
read il. She looked at the bold, firm
bad writing, and pressed it to her lips
then, slowly unfolding it, she read -

Hs could bear it no longer. lie stole
as soon as possible, to Bsatrice's side,
and said few words on her coquetry
and heartlessness.
She turned her large flashing eyes full
upon him with a look of contempt.
Mr.. Meredith forgets himself, she
replied, csldly; his opinion is utterly
indifferent to NE. What right has be
to criticise my conduct =
She waved her hand in token of dis
missal and he left her, with strange
mixture of love and anger in his heart
as he saw her again-tho centre of Il
circle of admirers-full of life and ami
nation. Tho hours flew rapidly, and
when at last the gay company departed,
Louis saw, with bitter jealousy, that
Ralph Mercer was the devoted attend
ant of his discarded Beatrice and he
sought his home, angry with himself and
with the world.
The excitement of the evening was
over, aud alone in her chamber, Bea.
trice thought Of all that had passed.
She had triumphed; but, alas ! what
an aching heart had been hidden under
that gay exterior
She had loved Louis Meredith will

Mrs. Lancaster made no objection t
