Art thou beautiful? Live, then, in c
eordance will: the curium make and frame
of thy creation, an let the beauty of thy
peraon teach thee to beautify thy mind
with holiness, the ornament of the beloved
of Sod.' ff'm. Pern.
Rind up thy tresses, thou beautiful one,
Of Brown in the shadow and gold in the tun
Free ahould their delicate lustre be thrown,
OVr i forehead more oure than iho Parian
alone
Shaming the light of Orient pearla
VVhirh himl o'er ita whiteness IhV toft
wreathing curls.
8mile for thy glance on the mirror it
thrown,
And the face of an angel ia meeting thine
own!
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!
Fly, but alas, he wilt follow thee still,
Like a moonlight shadow, beyond thy will;
In thy noon day walk in thy mid ntg-ht
sleep-
Close at thy hovel that phantom will keep-
Still on mine ear ahall his whisper be
Wo that such phantom should follow thee.
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.

profound attention, and was so earnestly

The excitement occasioned by this
vent was scarcely beginnnini; lo sub-
si(L
in Mexico, when a report becamt

mitted in open day in the house of the
Swigs Consul, M. Maigret. The Con-

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
