Beautiful creature, I marvle not That thy cheek a lovelier tint haih caught: And the kindlin" li ght of thine eye hath told Of a dearer wealth ihan the miser's gold. Away, away there i danger here A terrible phantom ia bend ng near; Ghastly and sunken, his rayless eyei Scowls or. thy loveliness scornfully With no human look with no human breath, He stands beside thee, the hauntr,DKA.TH!

In the bright hall where the light dancers Like beautiful spirits to and fro; When thy fair arms glance in their stain less white, Like Ivory bathed in still moonlight-, And not one star in the holy sky Hath a clearer light than thy own blue eye! O then even then he will follow thee, As the tipple follows the bark at ses; In the softened light-in the turning dance He will fix on thine his dread cold glance The chill of his breath on ihy chaek shal' linger, Aud thy warm blood shrink from his ic) fingvr. And yet there is hope. Embrace it now, While thy soul is open with thy brow; While thy heart is fresh and thy feeling still tJuth clear as the ussoil'd mountain rill; And thy smiles are free as the air of spring, Creeling and blessing each breathing thing. When after cares of thy life ahall come, When ihe bud shall wither before hit bloom WI.en the snul is sick of emptiness And changeful fashion of human blirs; And the weary torpor of blighted feeling Over thy heart as ice is steeling. Then, when thy spirit is turned above, By the mild rebuke of the Christian's love, When hope that joy in thy heart is stir d, Which rye hath not seen nor sir heard; Then will that phantom of daikness be Gladness and promise and bliss to i&e.

The excitement occasioned by this vent was scarcely beginnnini; lo sub- si(L in Mexico, when a report becamt uiren that a murder had been com mitted in open day in the house of the Swigs Consul, M. Maigret. The Con- ul resided in Ihe Calle Sin Cosme, not far from the residence of the former. Viceroy, ihe Count de Galvez. A' first the report gained Utile credit, for Calle Sin Cosme ig one of the most fre- uentcd sirens in Mexico, and ig crossed by an aqueduct, which abuts on the deli cious promenade, Ihe Alameda. Ncverihi'les, Ihe slory was but lo true. 1 he assassin having entered M Maigret's house by the street door, si cked and murdered his Indian servant Hearing a disiui bance, M. Maigret rush ed out lo the corridor, and thus taken by surprise was overcome by his asgail ml. It appeared, however, (hat he had made a powerful resistance. A dreadful contusion was visible on his temples, one of hig arms were broken, and there were iwo deep and fatal slabs on his left ride. In the clenched hand of the murdered nan, there was found a braag button with a fragment of blue cloth attached to it. An active investigation was immedi ately set on foot, with the view of d is covering the perpetrators of the crime. Suspicion lighted on a dragoon of Ihe 4th regiment, who from a condition of poverty, that is to say, from subsistence on his pay, had suddenly acquired a bundance of money, which he scattered away in proffligate!extravagancc;ihigman whose name was Anlonis, could give no satisfactory account of the way in wh:ch this money wag obtained.
