That moved in the beginning o'er his faen,
Moves o'er it evermore. The obedient waves,
-To its strong n ion, roll and rise and fall. .
Still from that realm of rain, tlky cloud goes up, ,
As at the first, to swat r thnAreaticaa-th • ,-

!Watch: its broad shadow w. rping °tithe wind , .
And in the dropping shower; with gladness, hear
.' Thy promise of the hSrvest: I look forth .
Over the boundless blue, where, joyously, ,: .
The bright crests of innumerable wav es
Glance to the sun at once; as- when the hands .
-- -Of great multitutlem•e upWardll4ll7, • •
in acclamation: behold the ships ,
sfilliding from cape to rape, from isle to isle, •

-.From the old world. It is thy friendly loreeze l
*That bears theta, with the riches of the land,
And treasure 'ordeal. lives, till, in the port,.

But who shall bitie • thy tempests whO'shall face
• ; The blast that Wakes the fury - of,flie seal
Oh Gon ! thy justice makes the world tarn pale, -
When on the armed fleet, - that royalty
Brat's down the surges, carrying war to smite
Some or invade some thoughtless realm,.
Deseends.the fierce tornado. -The-viist-hplks------ _
Are whirled like chaff upon the waves; the sails ---

Arc snapped asunder ; downward from the decks,
Downward-are flung, into the fathomlt•ss'gulf,
Their cruel engines, nitheir hosts, arrayed
In trappings of the bath field, are whehned
By whirlpool, or dashed dead upon the rooks.
Then staid the nations still with awn, and pause •
A moment, from die bloody work of War.
• These restless surges eat away the shore);
Of earth's old continents, the fertile plain
Welters in shallows, - headlands crumble down, .
-And the title drifts the sea sand it; the streets •
• •Of the drowned city. Thou meanwhile, aim,
In the green chambers of the sea,
Where broadest spread•thO waters and the line'
Sinks deepest, while no eye beholds thy work,

To lay his-mighty reefs - . Thou bliPst the fires

On thy creation and pronounce it good.
Its valleys, glorious with Their summer green,

Swept by the murmuring winds of'ecenn, join
The murmuring shores in a perpetual hymn.

~,ha&she been called .to

been the object of her choice. But she was
conscious that she was capable of a much

sought, her.father's aid.. • Mr. Allison had
.never interfered to control the inclinations

very competent to supply - his place in a
-concern which !night still be conducterfor
the benefit of dip if• Mary would
become the wife of the new partner. Ac
tooted by these motivee he promised his
influence to-the ardent lover; but-the more
he reflected upon his task the More reluc
tant he felt:to perform it.- 'He - could not
bear to. influence the affections of his favor
ite child,' and-yet he earnestly,wished her
to-think as he did. Like •must men .in a
similar predicament, he adopted a middle
course, and quieted his scruples by com
mitting the trust to another.
One evening just at twilight, Mary was
in a small appartment communicating with
the .drawing-room ; when her father . ap
proached in close conversation with Earnest
Melvyn. They took a seat in the parlor
and as the door was ajar, Mary could not
avoid hearing her own name several times
repeated. She was about entering the
room when she heard her father say, "
wish, Earnest, you would nse yofir in

fers Mr. Walton,: and it is only a worrnm's

his lip quivered and -his hand trembled as
he. offered his congratulations to Mary, yet
no one could hare dreamed that beneath hid

heart. \:1)/Lat_f_apride rose to her aid, when

She almost despised herself .for the weak

-her bosom against all such emotions, she
determined to, perform the duties she had
undertaken With a firm and unyielding
spirit.- . - :
The increasing illness of theinvalid,Mrs.
Melvyn, soon confined Ernesrao closely
to his home, during his leisure hoUrs, thr.,t
he thus eseaped- the torture of, witnessing
the.arrangementsfor Mary2s_marrioge.,:=l4 :

from a sense of duty to others rather than

"he, has fulfilled the wishes or her father.

Ernest to himself, "and not one-shadow ,

with, a 'courage far more exalted than that
which binds the martyr to the faggot and
the• stake, did this noble-hearted being
crush his own heart within him, lest he
should mar the hopes of her whom he ,
loved better than life. • ...
Ernest did not see Mary wedded. On
the very night of her bridal his mother
died, and, in the awful stillness .of the
death-chamber, the voice of- passion was
hushed into silence. It was not until his
