spare me, Great God! . fift, up my drooping.brow;
I am mntent to die—butoh! not now.'
The spring has ripened into l tsumrher time;
The seasou'siewless.bo'undary is past.! • .
The . glotionSsum has reached his burning prime:
Oh! must this glimpse of beauty be the WO, •
"Let me not perish,,,While o'cr.land.aml swya, -
With silent steps, 'the Lord of Light moves on;
Nor while the murmur of thc: ruotmtaitm bee

Summer is gone: and autumn 9 S

Tint the ripe fruits and gild the waving Corn;
The huntsman swift the liyin , z game pursues,':
Shouts the 'Maid! .and uiinls his:eager horn:
"Spire me awhile, to wanner forth and gaze

Antutun bath pas'sed away, and cold :1:7t1 d:-car,
Winter stalks on with frozen mantle hound.
Yet still that prayer astendsr . "Oh! utghingly '

Our home fire blazes broad, and bright and high,
And the rooViings with voices light and loud.
Sparc me awhile! raise up my drooDing brow ;

The spring is cote ngain—the joyful spring! • -
Again the banks with chist cling flowers are spread;
The_ wild bird dips iipoo its wanton wing:
The child of earth is ounibered ti ith the i.V.:ad!
"Theb• - nevii' more the Smiihine . shall awake, •

NV M. A. DENNISON:
It -was somewhere about the Year 'l7B7,and
nearing the fourth •of July, that Jonathan
Melbourne tesnived to,g6 to London. - Jon-.
athan was a genius •in his way, api)ddity, ii
'fine scholar and a young man of wealth.' His
Father had been drtd three years, and had.
IA a splendid forturarto Ibis ,taily son.
The Melboitrnes resid 'd . in Bustin) At the
date of our story. No n ansion in that - prim
city was more elegant, hi th, as regards !out
ward finish and inward d corations, that' lift
ed its noble front in the. icinity Of that.rural
plot of ground ; tnen ealled
-' the commons.'
. Jack Metbourne . sat listlessly in his moth-.
er's . stately room. 'There had bcen company
all day ; beautiful girls! with their dash - fl ag
brothers; and Jack luotkept them .in one in
cessant . roar—Tardon, Shades of the Mal
boaines—of. laughter, Mitil the laSt bright
eyed cognette, throwing a reckless - glance
over her shoulder and looking very roguish
ly out of her tittle .blue hood and bluer eyes,
declared, as she tripped down the s - teps;.that
Jack's wit had ahnost killed her; Al hereup
lon .Jack looked . uncomintinly serious, thus
eliciting another burst of mirth. .
.
But now,
- as I - said, he sat listlessly in his
mother's stately room. The setting sun and
hanging curtains, together,tltrew a wondrous-.
•ly rich glow, r of crimson over his features . ,mid
his Zontempations, of whatever kind they
were, mad L i his thee serious, and-gave a shade
of Melancholy to his fidk•brdwn eyes..
.. The room- was yerrt large; and tilled with
antique but massive furnitur2 ; '. On ,its walls .
hung portraits cif old tinsti - reo . ple, tt hill - run :4 - s
and powdered wigs, and l i ly rt waists, and
entiraious curls and ribbons. These .nattured

We loo1(..tiot . on common 'things.' Nrker.
ShOow.s with stately stepping.; moved over
i
tit great room ; the sun was gone, the ewi- .
ligit was gone, and the servants brOught in

IaNI, springing up with a bound ,that nearly
btiiughthis head in (-wither with ;the massive.
briinze chundeiier, (Jonathan was • very tail,)
hetexelatined, ' t'll do it, by Jqiter ! - .
I Do what,- may soar?' said a low, ratlKir
sweet voice, as at that. moment 'a woman of
nOte, preNenee entered tit, r. ern. -
Instantly going to her. .id. ..I.;ith a rezpect

d'n'Fied his mother--‘ , .;ho, by her haughty. 1

There' V he exclaimed, rising again, and i
