Robert Emnet and his Live,

Twas the evening of lovely day--the
last day of the noble and ill-fated Emmet.-
young girl stood at the castle gate and
desired admittance into the dungeon. She
was closely Veiled, and the keeper could not
imagine who she was, nor that any one of
such proud bearing should be an humble SUD-
plant at the prison door. However, he
granted the boon, led her to the dungeon
opened the massive iron door, then closed il
again, and the lovers were alone. He was
leaning against the prison wal, with down.
cast head, land his arms were folded upon
his breast. Gently she raised the veil from
her face,and Emmet turned to gaze anon all
that earth contained for him-the girl whose
sunnybrow,in the days of boyhood. had been
hispolar star-the maiden who had sometimes
made him think the world was all sunshine.
The clankng Of the chains sounded like a
death knel. to her ears, and she weot like a
child. Emmet said but little. yet he pressed
her warmly to his bosom, and their feelings
held sIlont meeting-such meeting, per-
chance, as is held in heaven only, when we
part no more. In low voice he besouoht
her not to forget him when the cold grave
received his inanimate body-he spoke of
bygone days, the happy hours of childhood
when his hopes were bright and GLORIOUS
and he concluded by requesting her some
times to visit the places and scenes that
were hallowed to his memory from the day.
OF his childhood ,and, though the world might
QrOnOuncp hia ,,,ifh
tempt, he prayed she should still cling to
him when all others should forget. Hark!
the church bell sounded, ,and he remembered
the hour of execution. The turnkey entered,
and after dashing the tears from his eyes,h
separated them from their long embrace land
lei the lady from the dungeon. At the en-.
trance she turned and their eyes met-they
could not say farewell! The door swung
upon its heavy hinges land they parted for
lever. No,nOt torever;is there not he aven1
At sunrise next morning he suffered glori.
ously,a martyr TO his country and to liberty.
And one-o'er her the myrtle showers
Its leaves, by soft winds fanned
She faded, midst Ita Ian flowers
The last of their fair band
Twas in the land of Italy; it was the gor.
geous ime of sunset in Italy. What a
magnificent scens!A pale emaciated girl
lay upon the bed of DEATH Oh. it was hard
for her to die, far from her home in this
beautiful land where flowers bloom perrer-
1ia!, and the balmy air comes freshly tothe
oining sonl. OH no; her star has set: the
brightness of her dream has faded; her heart
was broken When ties have been formed
on earth-close burning ties-'what is more
heart rendering and agonizing to the spirits
than to find, at last, the beloved one is
snatched away, and al our love given to a
passing fowret." Enough: she died the
be'roteed of Robert Emmet-the lovely Sd
rah Curran. italy contains her last remains,
its flowers breathe their fragr ince over her
grave, and the luliipg notes of the shep-
herds lutte sound requiem to fer memory.
