Robert Elnmet and his Love

'Twas the evening of lovely day--the last day of the noble and i'll fated Emmet.
 young girl stood at the castle gate and de- sired admittance into the dungeon.
 She was closely yelled, etc, the keeper could not imagine who she was, nor that any one of such proud bearing should be an humble SUD- plicant at the prison door. However, he grant, ed the boon-led her to the dungeon, opened the massive iron door, then closed it again, and the lovers were alone. He was leaning against the prison wall with downcast head, and his arm was folded upon his berast Gently she raised the veil from her face, and Emmet turn ed to gaze upon all that earth contained for hm-the girl whose sunny brow in the days of boyho had been his polar star-the maiden who had sometimes made him think the world was all sunshine. The clanking of chains sounded like death knel to her ears. and she wept like child. Emmet said but little, vet he pressed her warmly to his bosom, and their feelings held silent meeting-such meeting perchance as Is held in heaven only, when we part no more. In low voice he besought her not to forget him when the cold grave received his lnanlmate body-he spoke of by gone days, the happy hours of childhood, when his hopes were bright and glorious, and he concluded by requesting her sometimes to visit the places and scenes that were hallowed to his memory from the days of his childhood, and though the world might pronounce his name with scorn and con- tempt, he prayed she should still cling to him with affection, and remember him when all others should forget Hark! the church bell sounded and he remembered the hour of exe- cution. The turnkey entered and after dash ing the tears from his eyes, he separated them from their long embrace, and led the lady from the dungeon. At the entrance she turned and their eyes met-they could not say, farewell! The door swung upon its hinges, and they part ed forever. Nol not forever! is there not hea- ven?
 At sunrise next morning he suffered glorious ly; martyr to his country and to liberty.
 And one-oer her the myrtle showers,
 Its leaves by soft winds famed,
 She faded midst Italian flowers
 The last of their fair baud.
 'Twas in the land of Italy; it was the gor- geous times of sunset in Italy; what a magnif- cent scene! A pale emaciated girl lay upon the bed of death Oh! it was hard for her to die from her home in this beautiful land, where flowers bloom perennial, and the balmy air comes freshly to the pining soul. Oh! no; her star had set; the brightness of her dreams had faded; her heart was broken. When ties have been formed on earth, close burning ties, "what Is more heart rendng and agonizing to the spirit, than to find, at last, the beloved one is snatched away, and all our love given to passing fower." Enough; she died, the betrothed of Robert Emmet, the lovely Sarah Curran. Italy con- tains her last remains; its flowers breathe their fragrance over her grave, and the lulling notes of the shepherds lute sounds a requiem to her memory.
