Because Thou art so Dear to Me.

l would | were this sunbeam bright,
This golden ray so wondrous fair,
Which paints the red rose on thy check,
And nestlcs mid thy waving hair.
l would we're this careless breezc-
So idly roaming to and fro
Which steals the fragrance from thy lip,
And lifts the dark curls from thy brow.
A breeze of sunbeam would be,
Because thou art SO dear to me.
l would were II dainty flower.
A bud of garden, grove or lea,
To win, if but one radiant smile,
One tender word or thought from thee.
| would were Titania' self,
To bask beneath thine eyes deep glow,
To WOO each shadow from thy heart
Each CLEAN of care or pain, or woe.
A flower, or fairy, | would be,
Because thou art SO dear to me.
Iwould | were some singing bird,
Some captive from fir-off land
I'd deem my fetters sillien cords,
Were they but forged by thy soft hand.
| would were II child of air,
To hover ever DER thy way
I'd weave thee gladdest dreams by night,
And bless and keep thee all the day.
A bird OF Peri would be,
Because thou art so dear to me.

Mother! I Think Of Thee.

Thou. from whose lips learned to pray,
Dear mother, | shall hear no more
That fervcnt prayer 50 oft by thee
Repeated, in the days of yore,
To teach thy erring child the way
OF truth, Of holiness and heaven
Mother I'm thinking of thee now
AS when from us thy form was rivcn.
Thy precepts shall ne'er forget,
While life and reason maintain;
Thy counsel in my memory yet
Is fresh as when by thee 'twere given;
Though in the grave thy body sleeps,
And will till the last trump shall sound,
A guardian care thy spirit keeps,
And Ter my footsteps hovers round.
Long years have passed since that sad day,
When in the dark and silent tomb
Thy body we were called to lay,
Which made so desolate our home;
Yet memory fingers round the scene,
And faith looks upward 'mong the blest
For there thy sainted spirit scared,
And with the ransomed there doth rest
II. +. Boooeooo.

1t was fine Sabbath morning in the year

although not unpleasant countenances Of the
male members of. that little congregation.

sons for emigra,ing 70 Turkey. They say that
the time has come when Mussulmans shoull as
scmhc themselves together, and that every
Mussulman who shall remain until 1861 under
the Governmental the Giao,irs will become one
himself THIS story has been put in circulation
by the Mussulman clergy Of the Crimea, but no.
body knows positively by whom, and besides, If
any one knew he would not tell Another rri-
NOR which has been spread among the Tartars
of the Crmca and the Nogays Of the northern
districts Of The Tauritla, Is stl more absurd
that by order Of the Sultan Of Turkey, the rich,
est of the soycreigns Of tile earth, each Mussu-
man who cmigrates from the country Of the
Giaours shall receive at STEAMBOAT fifty dollars to
go into business with, a large quantity Of grain
for food and for seed, an excellent Farm, and

Listen, sweet to love and reason"

Loves not in season"

"Not so coy" urged the boy;
"List in time to love and reason"
"By-and-by," she unused reply
Loves still in season.
