MORNING MUSINGS.
BY CORNELIA.

As sit by my window where primroses bloom,
The breeze is all laden with sweetest perfume;
The gay little sOngster and meek, gentle dove,
All hail the bright morning with anthems oflove.
look at the lilly, so pure and so white,
Like an angel enrobed in Purities' light;
Oh, thou sweet and pure emblem of virtue and love,
Thy bright form is mrrored in spheres far above.
look at the violet, so modest and blue,
It borrows from. Heaven that delicate hue
The dew-drop is sparkling, in its neat little cup,
And trembling with beauty it sweetly looks up.
look at the rose, how sweet it appears;
The dew on its cheek like pertinent tears,
But the breeze that watts past wipes them away
And the rose looks forth on i bright summer day.
So thy guardian spirits. new hope would inspire,
To buoy thee onward, and upward, and higher;
They would wipe from thine eyes those sooWing tears
And erase from thy heart its errors and fears.
See yon gay little insect soar forth with delight,
From its chrysslis dark to Joy and light
Like the spirit when freed from thS earth form clay
With joy and thanksgiving it scars far away
All nature this morning is calm and serene,
No turmoil nor discord to mar the bright scene,
From the green earth beneath to the blue ether above
All sing Of progression and God that is love.

GBoitt MistelIang,
VISITING MY WIFE'S RELATIONS.

My engagement with dearest Garry
was very long one, indeed; there were
tremendous obstacles in the way, by
which the course of our true love was
perpetually being brought up short and
impeded. Garry is the offspring of the
Reverend Claude Winkwerd of the Hall;
which was The son of Sir Ralph Wink
werd, knight; at which point the pedi-
gree stopped. for good and sufficient
reasons: but she is also the issue of
Margaret Lorraine; which was the
daughter-by her second marriage with
Colonel Slasher-of the Lady Blanche
Trevor; which was the daughter of Lord
Sleightovf nd eight baron-by which
gap the Winkwerd family broke into
Burke's Peerogs, and even got connected
in some extremely discreditable manner
with royalty Itself. Garry was, there
fore, Of course, entitled to expect a good
match, or, in other words, husband
with either blood or money. Now, my
ancestral. or being the second of nv
race, l should rather paternal, name is
Biles. and there is little in my income to
excuse it. l had nevertheless enough
to live upon, and to maintain my wife in
something mo,e than gentility, which
was the Winkwerd horror. l could af-
ford her pony-chase, that is, and
lady 's-maid. The Rev. Claude had al
SO a whole culver full of daughters be-
sides Garry, and found. perhaps, some
little difficulty in supplying every arrow
with beau. Above all, was an or
phan, and had not relative upon the |
face of Europe. Anything of that sort
would have made our union hopeless;
but my two younger brothers-both in
the small coal line-withdrew them |
selves, fortunately, to South Australia,
and have gone under the general head
of "our colonial relations" ever since
They are now considered to be rather sub
jects Of congratulation than disgrace;
being always understood and described
by my wife's family as sort of mer-
chant princes, wLo head the Untitled /
aristocracy of the other hemisphere.
Nevertheless, my connection with the
Winkwerds is what Biles, without my
advantages, would describe as rather
ticklish; and there are still such num-
Der Of "ps" and "qs" to be minded, and
SO many fayorite expressions and quota
tions to be apolegized for when amongst
them, that | let the rectory and its in
mates, as much as possible, alone
