M u S &c,

Joyous burst of music fell upon my ear,
and rung, clear and wild, now in silvery treble
notes, and now in the deep-sounding bass.
And as l listened l grew light of heart, and
my spirits danced gaily to the sound, till fan
cied myself no longer being of earth, but
floating high on magic pinions of air. 1t
ceased, the spell was broken, and the enchanted
spirit quietly sunk back into its wonted mood.
Then came low, rich strain, such as when
winds and harpstrings meet" so sad, and yet
SO beautiful. On the still evening air it rose,
plaintive and high, then slowly died away, like
some lone spirits wall. Oh! it seemed like
music from another world. / wept 1 knew
not why; but to me all Nature had put on
sombre hue, and pensive thoughts stole thick
and fast into the chambers of the soul. Then
/ looked up to the clear, quiet stars, and wished
1 might soar away, and listen to the harps of
heaven. How strange power hath music over
the human heart 1t binds it with fascina-
ting, resistless spell, and bears it aloft on the
wings of imagination; then lets it gently fall to
earth, and leaves it where it was before For
the glad hours of man it hath Joyous notes,
and a soothing strain for his darker moments
" Sing to me" said the dying boy to his mother;
and when his eye was dim and the death damp
gathered on his brow, and every other avenue
to earth was sealed up those low, sweet tones
fell like the prelude of Heaven on his ear, and
beneath their melody his spirit passed away.
The world is full of music, and oft it giveth
forth a mournful sound, as though it bewailed
its hapless state, and would find relief in sad
complainings. Its moan is heard in the night
breeze, in the falling rain, and in the coming
storm. 1t sweeps over the heart, and stills its
mirth, and turns it away, sick of earth's vani-
ties, to weep in loneliness. Some one has said,
such dirge-like music had been unknown, if
the blight of sin had not fallen on this world,
since its minor tones ever tend to sadden the
spirit, and harmonic with its sorrows.
See yonder grave, where the lone maniac
SITS and weeps, aud sings her wild requiem to
tie storm. Poor maiden it is winter in thy
soul, and to thee the bowling winds make
strange music, and echo back thine own sad
plant. Thy harp is all unstrung but when
thy painless spirit shall return from its wan
behring's, I" it shall wake to the sound of the
seraphim's song"
But, linger not, my muse, so mournfully amid
thy lutte strings. Such strains belit thee not
they are of the earth, and shall pass away
Look now to yonder world, where angels sing,
and the glad song of the redeemed is ever roll
ing along Heavens high arches. Listen to
their eternal rapture, and let thine heart rise
and mingle its anthem with theirs, around the
throne OF the Holy One. AMELIA.

THE LAVE CIR L.
BY THRACE TALNON,

Within the mart of human blood,
As day waned into night,
Chained to a block, young girl stood;
O! 1wa. q fearful sight
Her form perfect, like The mooh'
When rounded TO its full;
Her face like richest flowers OF June,
Was passing beautiful
Around her brow, her hair, like night,
In lovely curls was looped &.
As ii 10 hide her eyes strange light,
The long, dark lashes dropped.
Her snuous lips with seorn were wound
The trace OF bitter thought;
And changed her chains with woeful sound,
As round her, slaves were bought.
Unused 10 scene like this, was she,
For in the South land far,
She had been reared in luxury
A proud homes brightest star.
She was the child of naughty sire,
Though born TO te slave,
And in her veins there coursed the fire,
Which his own spirit gave.
OF all the ensaved race;
Had she then seen her yawning tomb,
Not more could blanched her face
A man-'nSere wiser him TO call
A monster, boorish, bold,
This girl marked out for his own thrsl
And paid her price with gold.
Her chains were lOosed-yet doubly then
Mas she the masters own;
Without the shield of g gods or mem"
Zen now, 1 hear that groan.
That look of agony / see,
The thrills of keenest pain,
The burial into Slavery,
issptsed with tears like rsin.
Mother! " she shrieks, while through the mart
Tine trader drives her on;
save me o, shield me on thy heart,
As thou hast ever done"
A daTk-browed woman suppliant falls,
Her shsckled hands uprears;
90! take me, too! ~ but vain her calls,
Vain her appealing tears.
"will none have mercy?n now she cries,
80, some friend save us, or
But save my child.n no voice replies,
Il not this traffic, law,
Too true lis law-mans iron chain,
Which holds Gods children, slaves;
Upon our stripes and stars, a stain
OF blackened blood, il waves.
Scared like a captive bird low sinks
The maiden to the ground;
But from her masters grasp, she shrinks,
As fit gave a wound.
Yea. as with envenomed dart,
or repule's fatal sung,
j. wounded hopelessly, her heart,
In lIfe's sll-besuieous spring.
They go-masier and slave, before
The Iosured mothers eyes;
Alas she'll meet her child no more,
Till freed within the skies.

AN INDIAN CArAcouB.-Mr. Warren Clark
OF Gosport, writes to the Lockport Journal, that
the laborers on the canal enlargement, near his
residence, a few days since, came upon a large
deposit of human skeletons, numbering, proba-
bly, six hundred. They were ali piled together,
and though perfect when first exposed to the
air, they soou crumbied after coming to light.
1t is supposed that this unusual assemblage Of
human remains Is due to the occurrence-per-
haps many years since-of a terrific Indian
combat

"Yes; well, as Free-Soiler, must of course

de6led themselves in the work they have been
doing. There is no sincerity in this game at

Mrs. MADDEN sat at that same golden sunset
ting, reading letter from Jamie. 1t was writ
ten, as she saw by the date inside, the day be-
fore-was mailed that very morning, as she saw
upon examining the post-mark. He was safe,
then; through with the boating, through with
the surf, through with the sea entirely, and
safe. The tears came into her eyes as she
drew long breath, thanking God that he was
safe.
"There's something" said she to Ada, after
having read, and thought awhile in silence, 81

wanted to say to me, ever since he came home
from college and here it is in the poor boys
letter. BE don't like the/old plan of medicine;
he wants to enter the ministry, bless him !"
Ada looked up suddenly, without speaking.
{" He's afraid" pursued Mrs. Hadden, that
we will think him presumptuous; but he says
he loves God-loves Him more and more, and
longs to come into his especial sersice-hoping,
not only to keep others near Him, but to keep
himself near, by the work he viii be doing for
others; for he says he breads shining, breads
losing the tender, trustful, loving childhood OF
the soul, as he sees so many do in their way
through the world-dreads becoming hard,
cold, selfish, a wanderer from God and comfort.
Isn't he the dearest boy that ever q mother
had, Ada? Pve somehow felt something of
this, for months; for he's been Just like saint
all the time"
Again Mrs. MADDEN read, and then she
looked up, to ask Ada if size had ever noticed

the stiffness Of the forest answering to thou

sound comes strangely on the ear through the
dreamy stiffness:

declared in Parliament that Great Britain would
not tolerate any proposed cession by Spain to
France Of any Of those colonies over which Spain
had ceased to have any control ltcould not, there
fore, be permitted that France should carry the
war across the Atlantic, and attempt to capture
those colonies which Spain could not pretend to
he able to cede. We will not" said Mr. Can
ming, interfere with Spain in any attempt which
she may make to reconquer what were once her
colonies; but we will not permit any third Power
to attack or reconquer them for her, This was
the British Monroe doctrine at that time. It may
still be unchanged; but in the meantime France
has regained her lost supremacy and maintained
her designs amid all her changes Of dynasties.
1t is now to be seen whether England will ad-
here to her Canning policy and the United States
to the Monroe doctrine. The British Cabinet
recently asserted that the Monroe doctrine was
only dictum. The Mexican Cabinet now think
the Canning declaration only dctum not to be
depended upon. Both are substantially the same
policy, starting at the same time and from the
same cause. Let US see which will back out.

fave conquered, and to whom they have doled
out the harsh lot Of the vanquished. When they
annex State, it is admitting partner, not
seizing servant; there is nothing in the business
that any one can object to; but, on the contrary,
much in the prospect Of prosperity and freedom
and q higher civilization for the new citizens that
can be honorably applauded. The United States
are not in the habit Of extracting a revenue from
new States, as is done by the East India Company
in Hindostan; nor even do they lay restraints on
their trade, prescribe to whom they may sell, or
from whom buy, as used to be the British policy.
Mr.. Disraeli might have laid stress on these
arguments, and shown that the causes for the
feeling having vanished the feeling itself had
best be laid aside. But perhaps this was need
less. The Champion case has awakened mems
minds both here and in Europe to the enormous
infamy of war between the United States and
England and we need not fear that quarrel
will again be needlessly provoked. Both nations
will esteem each other the more for the brush
and though the United States-to whom the af-
fair will be Of infinite service in Europe be
the greater gamer Of the two the good sense and
discretion evinced at this last moment by the
press, Parliament and people OF England will not
be thrown away on this country.
So far as Mr.. Disraeli refers to American af-
fairs he has our hearty concurrence. He has our
concurrence in his denunciation of the Monroe
doctrine though it is not quite clear from what
he says that he thoroughly understands it. The
Monroe doctrine was invented as q sort of re-
ply to the monarchical congresses which used to
be held every two or three years some thirty-iye
to forty years ago in Europe 1t arose at the
time that considerations of American republics,
from North to South, were seriously mooted, and
was viewed as the best means of protecting the
weaker ones from European attack. But the
premises, here again. are all changed The
North American and Central republics have been
total failures in some cases, and not brilliant sue
cesses in any; no one talks of u federation now:
and the doctrine which was to cement and shelter
it has gone with the original scheme, and only
survives in the frothy speeches Of prosy poll
ticians.
