From the New York Waverley.
This is n Cold and Dreary World.
Dy FINLEY JOHNSON.

This is cold and dreary world,
Where am living now;
For grief and care are stamped upon
Nv hot and throbbing brow;
And though nv heart is young in years.
Ye, sorrows seal ia there;
And in its deepest, darkest cells,
However, dwells despair.
The friends loved in early years,
Have sank unto theiI rest;
They now repose in quietness
Upon the enrth's cold breast;
They have gone downward to the tomb,
Like brilliant stars that fall,
Throwing around each stricken heart,
A sed and funeral pail.
I turn away my weeping eyes
From off the happy dead,
To seek for joys within the worid'
But find their joys have hed
] Ioften weep-for my heart feels
The pangs of keen regret;
Though friends are lost, and joys have he'd,
My soul can ne'er forget.
But when the storms of life are o'er,-
When they have ceased to blowi
When sorrows waves shall all be still,
And shall no longer flow,
! then shall meet those friends,
On Gods ambrosial shore;
then shall taste these endless joys,
Which shall decay no more.

or. to work on his farm, he had conuived
by true Yankee adroltness, to get the af-

married her. His wife. having esponsed

rules of her order, was. of course. "read

Mrs. Wilder. however, never overcame
the habits which had grown up with her
ehildho bod and youth; she always called
her husband William, and continued
through life to speak the Quaker dialect
But this from her lips, was never migrate
full or unwelcome to Williams ears: for
one of the sweetest sounds that ever dwelt
in his memory. was when he asked her a
certain question. and her reply was:-
William, thee has my heart already,
and my hand shall be thine whenever thee
may be pleased to take it,"
William Wilder was a thrifty and stir

himself the owner Of good farm, and
was going ahead in the world as fast a.

whole SUM OF his fortune yet been stated
He was bleSt with a daughter; bright,
rosy-cheeked, healthy, romping girl, full
OF life and spirits, aud. in his eyes, ex-
