The Land beyond the Mountains
BY HELEN BRUCE.

BY HELEN BRUCE.
The little child was dying. His weary
limbs were racked by pain no more The
flush was fading from his thin checks, and
the fever that for many days had been dry
ing up his blood, was now cooling rapidly
under the touch of the icy hand that was
upon him.
There were sounds and tokens of bitter
but suppressed grief, in that dim chamber
for the dying little one was very near to ma
ny hearts.
They knew that he was departing, and the
thought was hard to bear but they tried &c
command their feelings, that they might not
disturb the last moments of their darling.
The father, and the mother, and the kind
physician, stood beside dear Eddy's bed, and
watched his heavy breathing He had been
silent for some time, and appeared to sleep.
They thought that it might be thus that he
would pass away But suddenly his blue
eyes opened wide and clear, and beautiful
smile broke over his features lie looked
upward and forward at first, then turning
his eyes upon his mothers face, said in a
sweet voice:
Mother, what is the name of that beau
tiful country that see beyond the noun
tains-the high mountuins ~
81 can see nothing, my child" said the
our home"
Look there, dear mother" said the child,
pointing upward, "ycndcr are the mountains
Can you not see them nCto Z" he asked in
tones of the greatest astonishment as his
mother shook her head "They are so neal
me now-so large and high, and behind thee.%G
the country looks so beautiful, and the neo
pie are So happy-there are .y children there
mapa, can y0~ n"t. sec beyond the mountains
Ae. ne the name Of that land"
The parents glanced at each other, ant
with united voice replied, The land you SCI
is heaven, is it not, my child 2"
Yes, it is heaven. thought that mus
be its name. o, let me go-but how shal
l cross those mountains? Father, will yo
not carry me o. take me in your arms
and carry me, for they call me from the 9th
er side, and must 60.
The chamber was filled by wondering an
awe-stricken friends. At length he turne
towards his mother, with Il face beamin
with raptnrous delight, and stretching on
his little arms to her for one last embrac,
he cried, Good bye, mother, ! am going
but don't you he ailald-Me afonS man ma
come to curry me Orer The m0untdlas.

Young Washington as Lover and Poet

Young Washington as Lover and Pot.
There are evidences, in his own hand
writing, that, before he was fifteen year, Of
age he had conceived passion for some
unknown beauty 50 serious us to disturb his
otherwise we'll regulated mind and 10 make
him really unhappy. Why ,hia Juvenile at
tachmcnt was u source OF UlhappiNess, we
have no positive means Of osccrtaiung.-
Perhaps the object of itmoy have considered
him mere school boy and treated him as
such or his own shyucss may have been in
his way, and his Rules for Behavior and
Conversation may as yet sat nwkwardly
upon him, and rendered him formal and nm
gainly when he most sought TO please -
Even in his latter years he was al to be
silent and embarrassed in female soc.ety.
"IIc was a very boslfuI young man." said
an old lady, whom he used to visit When
they were both in their homage. II used
often to wish he would talk more
Whatever may have been the reason, this
early attachment seems to have been Il
source Of poignant discomfort to him 1t
clmg to him after he took II final luvc Of
school, in the autum Of l7i7, and went to
reside with his brother Lawrence, nt MoaHt
Vernon Here he continued his mutlcmat-
ical studies and his practice in surveying,
disturbed at times by occurrences of his IN
lucky passion. Though hy no means Of Il
poetical temperament, the waste pages in
his journal bctray several attempts to pour
forth his amorous sorrows IN verse. They
are mere commonplace rhymes, such as low
ers at his age are apt to write, in when he
bewails his poor restless heart, wounded by
Cupid's dart" d" and bleeding for one who re-
mains pitless at his gricfs and woes"
The tenor of some of his verse induces IL
to believe that lie never told his love bul
as we have already surmiscd, was prevented
by bashfulncss.
"Ah woe is me, that should love and conceal /;
Long have wished and nevCr dare reveal
1t is diilicalt to reconcile ones self to tho
idea Of the cool and scdatc Washington

How many times in infancy
Those deep blue eyes bent over me ;
And those White arms, 80 SOFT and fair,
Were folded round me with ii care
That only Mothers know.
And then, that voice SO sweet and soft,
Has soothcd me, ali how very OFT,
With songs Of angels, far and r.ght,
Who dwclt in homes Of glorious light,
Where darkness cannot come.
And as from infancy grew,
The same sOit vO.cc and eyes of blue
Were near me with a mothers care,
She sent up many II heartfelt prayer,
That might bless her lie.
oh :! can never half repay
The love and care that, day by day,
My mother lavishcd on her ch Id,
And taught me, in accents mid,
To choose the path OF right.

at the little end of the horn" And North
and South met on the battlefield of Kansas,
and fought till both were used ny, Ike the
cats of Kilkenny. and the land was all de-
serted,
CuAcc when the fight was ended,
Took possession of the country,
And himself the King ell cted.
And, remembering his wrongs, wherever he
found a white man, he put his thumb on Him
Made him sweat. aud slave, aud labor,
AS old Cullee did before him.
OF course the country went to wreck and
ruin, until at length Younga- Mcrr kah while
eXcavating amid the ruins of Manhattan,
discovered something huge and round aud
shining, and while tugging to get it, a
Monstrous mass of metal
Toppled over, crushed hun, smashed HIM,
And ii was as fathers idol,
Was old Pmribustah's dol
1t was the Almighty dollar,
that smashed Younga- McrrLah. Then Cuff
fee came along and kicked up ready strung
banjo from the former site of ChriSty'S,"
and he gozed upon the banjo and upon the
dollar and wondered how he could spend
the latter
Echo answered " Gin and Sugar"
SO he hastcnel down to 1hmmany, sure to
find liquor there if any had survived the lapse
of ages, but he could only
Find mighty smell of whiskcy.
Then setting the dolarup cdgcwsc, ard ga
zing upon its lovely frontspccc, the image
Of liberty, he took the tunciul banjo,
And cXtcmporizyd his dcath-soNg,
To the air of Yankee Doodle,
Sang his sad and cruel death song,
Like the Indians that YOU read Of
In the song of ll'aWatlN,
Whcreupon he died, with the banjo in his
fingers, his feet stuck through coal,holc,
his nose among the ciuders, and his mouth
half full Of ashes
