Henry Ward Beecher being appointed to deliv er an oration, in New York, at the celebration of the Burns' Centennial, January 25, 1859. The fourth stanza is somewhat prophetic ; but the third has been realized long before the time that the poetess set.—Scottish. American. I hear the task has fa'n to you, To gie the Bard o' Ayr his duo But use him weel— He kept sweet charity in view, E'en tor the Dell Bis wee, sma' fauls ye needna tell— Folks say ye're nee o'er guid yersel But De'il may care ; yere but half as guid as Rab, • We'll ask nac malt. Then dinna seek to find a flaw, But o'er his lau'ts a mantle throw, And leave the rest To Him wha made and tried th' hem t He kens the best. A century hence, and wha can tell What may befa your cannie sel'? Some holy preacher May tak' the cudgels up for ane Ca'd Harry Beecher. I mak' nac doubt ye'd like tae ken Wha taks up the old quill pen To write this rvme ; The knowledge would be little worth— I'm past my prime. But when a lassie, young and lair, l've wandered aft by bonnie Ayr, Wi' heartsome glee, Ere Fate's stern mandate sent me forth, Far o'er the sea. Still Scotia's hills, and Scotia's plains, Her poets, and her poet's strains, To me are dear A desert spring within my heart May claim a tear. PASSING AWAY BY CLURLES N. GREGORY The years go by with silent tread And some are distant, some are dead, That once were dear; And, as I sat alone to-night, And sadly watched the fading light, The dying year. Full many a mem'ry of the tomb, Of many a mad and merry time, Of funeral-knell and wedding-chime, Came gath'ring with the early gloom, And faces long forgot were there, And voices hushed forever spoke, And recollections hard to bear That twilight revery awoye( These marks along the stream of years, These strokes upon the tatal bell, They are but monuments of grief and tears, The chime is but a funeral knell ; For griefs recalled are griefs renewed again : And joys remembered—they are sadder yet, Oblivion brings alone her joys to men. And happiness is only to forget. THE ASCENSION BY WILLIAM CI LLEN BRYANT Good Shepherd, wilt thou leave In this low vale the flock that was thy care Alone to pine and grieve. While through the purer air Thou riseat up to fields forever fair? They who, supremely blest, Until the dawn of this unhappy day Leaned on thy loving breast, To whom on earth shall they Hearken or look when thou art far away ? What comeliness or grace Can they whose eyes behold thy beauty see Irk other form or face ? What music will not be Harsh to the ears that hearkened once to thee ? Who now upon the deep Shall look, and curb its fury ? Who shall lay The stormy winds asleep? What lone•star's friendly ray, When thine is hid, shit guide the vessel's way? Why change our happy stale, o envious cloud, to helplessness and fear How proud of their rich freight Thy shining folds appear! Flow blind and wretched thou dost leave us here! Jitlected ,Otoq.

Oue cannot trust or confide in them, and f am begin ning to lose that implicit faith which I iormerly possessed in the perfect angelic nature of pretty girls.

I protested that nothing could induce to to marry any other than a country irl. j "But," presisteB Mary, "you would be p mortified to hear your friends say your vile was rather pretty, but very verdant, nd that there were traces of hay seed in ier tresses." "Mary !" I gasped. " Besides, you know, I look like your grandmother ; the old lady might die like me on that account, and I should eel ways be jealous of her." Here she burst in a peal of laughter. "And, more than I all, I have determined never to marry a ' man that I do not love—and I don't love ,you—and I don't think I ever contd." The heartless creature renewed her ab surd merriment. My first impulse was to rush from the house—l say that was I my first impulse—and I obeyed it. There was to be a dance that evening ti in the Town Hall, and the girls were so glad we had come, for there were not half enough gentlemen. The rest of the day was spent in drink mg hard cider, and cracking butter-nuts, and listening to Captain Bernard's sea yarns. As the great and glorious orb of day went down, we proceeded, in company with the young ladies and a pair of woolly sheepish looking horses, in the direction of the Town Hall. The building was magnificently ilia- ! minated, tallow candles flared and smoked l Wherever by any possibility one could be • placed ; Christmas holly, arranged in 1 many an ingenious device, decorated the walls. In and out of the ladies' draw ing room skipped and giggled and flut tered no end of rosy chi:eked damsel: ; "in gorgeous array," with cotton mita hair nicely smoothed and plaited, whit elaborate "beau catchers" were curled i - bewitching sinuosity around their fai foreheads.

Having danced the first set with tle , Misses Bernard, we were forced to deliver' , up these young ladies to the care of tie gentlemen to whom they were affianced, arid, not caring to dance until we bad looked about as for awhile, we lounged about the door of the ladies' drawing room. After gazing at the dancers ft nome time,' espied Nellie flitting in a ow ner of the room, and, walking over to her said, in what I supposed to be an niecor monly listless and unconcerned marine "Nellie, I want you to introduee me o a certain lady when this net comes off t e floor."

In the early part of this country, or abont sixty years ago, the fertile land of this valley which yield such abundant harvests, and where is now situated the towns of Waverly and its ambituous rival Sayre,was cdert d with a dense forest of pine. This forest upon the Plane and upon the surrounding mountains, were the covert foi deer andother game. In these forests also the cry of the catamount and the howl of gray wolf were familiar sounds that none but the experiences need heed hunt, James Hanna could hear them without a shudder. Listening at night to these fearful cries and howls, mothers and children gathered in trem— bling oircles at the fireside and waiting in agony the return of their husband and protector. But gradually' as the settlers cleared away the forest,these dreaded and destructive animals, like the natives of the country, fell back, or were destroyed until now not one remains in the East ern or Middle Stites, except a few in Northern New York. It was found al— most impossible to keep sheep in the sparse settlements; and bounties were offered of ten and twenty dollars a head for these destructive animals. In this valley the wolf bound a foimid able antagonist in the hunter, James Hanna, whose exploits in those days equalled anything we ever read,of the aa ventures of hunters and trappers in the Territories, except that• James Hanna bad no stain of human gore upon his garments, and his trusty rifle was never used in wanton destruction of even ani mal life, but otily to secure bread for his family, or to rid the settlement of no:E• ions birds and ravenous beasts. .About fifty years ago, and some time after the disappearance of the wolves from the valley, it was rumored that one bold fellow ,had returned and wascom mating ravages among the sheep-fold.-- was winter and the settlers had gath ered their, lionise near their' homes, yet night alter night some fold was invaded' by the hungry and fearleaa. wolf, and it ;was finally determined to ralloy a force of men, and dogs and slay the savage brute. limes Hanna was requested to.join.the ,party -but declinedr for : James had a way of his own and.:did not .apprOve of bunting in packs like wolves.. large.,-number-"of mew and dogs, however, set out-open. a ..cold December _morning.' They had moaned that the wolf had his liar m a at a spot ~; x~: _ quite near wbere Mr. Timothy Hirene, or the street leading from Waverly to Sayre, the only dwelling in the vicinity at the time being that of Mr. H. Murray. The party soon had their doge upon the track of the wolf, and the whole day was spent in the pursuit, At night the party re• turned from their fruitless pursuit, weary and hungry, leaving uninjured, far away upon the mountains, while almost every dog bore the marks of the terrible fangs of the wolf. The next morning it was ascertained that the wolf undaunted by the persistent chase, had returned the same night, made a supper upon a fat weather, and slept in hie fair as if noth • ing had occured to dispute his possession. The dogs used the previous day, had been so roughly handled, that but few of them could be rulied for a second trial.— A supply of. fresh doge however were found and atiothl+r day's bunt was had with no better result, for the wolf, al- though driven miles away, was Lack to his lair the same night, making his sup per this time, at the expense of his near ; est neighbor, Mr. Murray. • A third day with fresh dogs proved equally fruitless and disasterous ; and in three days hunt the wolf had placed at least twenty dogs hors die combat, eluded the segacity of twenty men, and remained 'Baste.; of the situation. It was not until now, when the combined efforts of so many settlers had proved a failure, that James Hanna • thought it worth his while to take a hand in the hunt ; now, when men and dogs were out of the way and he could go about it in his own way. Hanna then possessed and still retains in his advanced years a genuine profes sional pride. He did not believe in tak ing any mean advantage even of a wolf and was waiting to• meet his enemy on tolorably even footing, always making it certain, however, that his two trained dogs guided by his greet experience should win the battle. Accordingly calling to his assistance two trusty friends and with his two dogs, whose power and se— gacity he had often tried, he was at the lair of the wolf at early dawn. An inch of snow had fallen during the night, which covered the ,tracks made the pre— vious day, rendered it easy to trace the formidable enemy they were soon to en— counter. On examineing the lair, it was ascertained that the wolf had only left as they ci.me up. Hanna slipped the leash from his dogs and in a moment, he heard the jaws of the wolf snap like the clos ing of a bear-trap. Alternate growls and snaps and yelps ! One of the dogs receiv ed a terrible wound and retreated. On coming up, Hanna found the other dog had closed upon the monster and had him fast by the cheek. The rapid move-- met of the animal, whirling among the young bush-pines, rendered the use of the rifle impossible without endangering the dog. The wounded dog could not be induced just then to enter the fight.— The wolf being unable to get his jaws upon his adroit antagonist,suddenly gath ered his feet under him for a mighty ef— fort and rising suddenly threw the dog ten feet in , the air and instantly was hid den from Hanna in the brush. The dog however soon closed upon him and this time caught him by the ham. Another scene of rapid whirlings ensued and an— other break. By no effort was Hanna enabled to get a snot. Again the dog had him by the nam, and fortunately in an open space. The wounded dog now joined in the fray. With that instinct which teaches animals the vital part of ' the body, both dogs fastened their jaws upon his throat. Hanna Seeing his op— pertunity, aimed his rifle to give the brute the charge ; but in dire emergency, that rifle,that had never before failed the hunt er, failed.him now ! A loaded rifle is not a sale weapon to use as a club in a melee like this, even were there not other con— siderations such as injury to so precious a thing as a rifle, tried and trusted. In such moments, thought as quick, as in the act of dreaming, close at hand stood hard•pine sapling—a girdle —a snap —a few dexterous strokes of the hunters knife, and a formidable weapon is ready. Crash came the blow upon the head of the wolf. Instantly the powerful muscles of the lime and body relaxed. The wolf lay prone and helpless. The knife is thrust as near the juglar as the jaws of the dogs would permit. The dogs now drawn off, lay quivering and panting.— In this moment of triumph,the vigilance of the mac rehired, but not that of the dogs. The wolf recovering from the shock given by the club, once more gath ered all his force and with one mighty end sprang away from his foes. It was a fruitless effort; not one instant had the dogs turned their eyes from the brute, and were again upon him long before their master and his assistants could col lect their energies. Then for the first time the animal gave forth that cull by which his fellows are summoned in case of distress. No fel-1 low, however was Within hearing of that cry. Like some Indian who seeks his early hunting and camping ground, this old wolf had returned alone, to the scenes of his younger days. Formerly, that cry which might have been heard a mile or more, would have assembled a multitude of his fellows. Hanna had known - the time it would have been unsafe to remain long in the locality of that cry of distress Now however, there was nothing to fear. This time, the knife did its work effect ively and the lifeless body of the last wolf, of the Planes, lay at the feet of the hun ter, white men and dogs and the snow for a wide space around were crimsoned with his blood. At the place where this memorable contest occured, we may no longer, hear the howl of the wolf, but instead, of that the Pan-like screech and bellow of a hun dred engines. while sixty years ago, if henrd i n ailf quiet valley, would have frightened, notnnly wolvea,. but even set tlers out of the valley. Upon or near, the, spot of that wolf's lair, now stands an ele gant dwelling. There are not many Bur vivors among that hardy race of men' who leveled the forests of , this valley,- yet two of the three men, engaged in to .aaven-, tore we have related, still survive vigor-, pus, hearty,. venerable ani venerated men.

"My own dear •Josephine, you know how I loved you. It is to you alone that I owe the few moments of happiness I have known in the world. Josephine, my destiny is stronger than my will. My dearest affections must yield to the welfare of France." ..'he dreadful blow prostrated the empress, and; she fell fainting to the floor. The Count de Beaumont was called, and, by the ald of the emperor, Josephine was borne, apparently Wa lesa, to her apartment. Queen Efortense (her daughter) was summon ed. She said reproachfully to the emperor: "My mother will descend from the throne IN she ascended it,in obedience to your will. Her children, content to renounce grandeun3 which have not made them happy, will gladly go and devote their lives to comforting the best and most aillsetionate of mothers." The emperor sat down and wept bitterly.— Then raising his eyes, flooded with tears, he said to Hortense, whom he loved with parental fondness: "Do not leave me, Hortense. Stay by me with Zugeoe. Help me to console your moth er, and render her calm, resigned, and even happy, in remaining my friend while she ceases to be my wife." Eugene (Josephine's son) soon came from Itr aly. He immediately repaired to his mother's apartment, and, clasping her in his arms, they wept In mutual anguish. He then entered the cabinet of the emperor, and recoiling from the cordial embrace with which the emperor would have greeted him, said : "Sire, permit me to withdraw from your ser vice." "What I" said the emperor sadly and • with deep emotion, "will you, my adopted son, for sake ma?" "Yes, sire," Eugene firmly replied. "The eon of her who is no longer empress cannot re main Viceroy of Italy. I will follow my moth• er into her retreat. She mast now find her consolation in her children" The emperor was deeply .moved. Tears till ed his eyes "You know," said hc, "the stern necessity which compels this measure. Will you forsake me? Who, then, should I have a son, the oh• ject of my desires and the preserver of my In terests, who will watch over the child when I am absent? If I die, who will prove to hlm s father 1" They both then retired to the garden, and arm in arm, for a long time walked up and down one of its avenues engaged in earnest conversation. The noble Josephine, with a mother's love, could not forget the interests of her children. She urged Eugene to remain faithful to the emperor. "The emperor," she said, "is your benefactor, Eugene; your more than father. To him you are indebted for everything. To him, therefore you owe boundless obedience." A fortnight passed, and the day arrived for the consummation of this cruel sacrifice. It was the 15th of December. Ail the members of the imperial family were assembled in the grand saloon ot the Tuileries. An extreme • paleness overspread the face of the emperor. In his brief address to the assembled dignitar ries, he said : "The political interests of my monarchy,and the wishes of my people, require that I should transmit to an heir, inheriting my love for the people, the throne on which Providence his placed me. It is this consideration alone which induces me to sacrifice the dearest affections of my heart, to consult only the good of my sub• Deets, and to desire the dissolution of our mar riage. diod only knows bow much such a de• termination has cost my heart. But there is no sacrifice too great for my courage when it is .proved to be for the interests of France. Far from having any cause of complaint, I have nothing to say but in praise of the attachment and tenderness of my beloved wife. She hat embelished fifteen years of my life, and the re• membrance of them will be forever engraven on my heart. Let her never doubt my affection or regard me but as her best and dearest friend." Josephine then endeavored to read her con sent to the divorce. But tears blinded her eyes and sobbings choked her voice. Sinking into a chair, and handing the paper to Mr. Reynand, she buried her lace in her handkerchief, and re mained in that position while it was read aloud. Napoleon then embraced Josephine, and led her, almost fainting, to her apartment, where he left her alone with her children. The next day the Senate met to sanction the divorce.— The' emperor, careworn, wretched, pale en statute, leaned against a pillar. A low hum of mournful voices alone disturbed the gloomy si lence of the room. There was a table in the • centre of the apartment, on which there was a • . writing apparatus of gold. Josephine entered leaning upon the arm of Hortense. Her face was as pale as the muslin dress she wore. The daughter, not possessing the fortitude of the mother, was sobbing aloud. The whole assem bly rose. Tears blinded nearly all eyes. • Jose. phine sat down, and, leaning her pallid fore head upon her hand, listened to the reading of. the act of separation. Eugene and Hortense stood by the Bide of their mother, the daughter weening convulsively. • Josephine, as the reading was finished, for a moment pressed her handkerchief to her eyes, and then, rising, in clear, but tremulous tones, pronounced the oath of acceptance. She then sat down, and, taking the pen, signed the deed which sundered the dearest ties which_ can be formed on earth. Eugene fell fainting to thelloor. Hid Mani.' mate form was borne out of the room by the attendants. Josephine retired with her Baugh ter. Night came. The emperor, utterly.., wretched, bad just placed himself in the bed , from which he had ejected his faithful wife, when the door was slowly opened, and Jose phine tremblingly entered.
