41111 when nt early day, '
The miner trod the dew,
It met him on the'wny
iVith welcome blithe and true ;
So when at weary eve,
lie homeward wends again,
Full sorely would he grieve
To miss the well-loved strain,
The mother who.had kept
Wateh o'er her wakerull child,
Smiled it the baby slept,
'Soothed by its wood notes wild ;
And gladly has she flung
te_imseinent. opetUree,
As the dear warbler sung
From out the household tree.
The sick man 0:1 his bed
ForvAs his weariness,
And turns his feeble head •
To nst its songs, that bless
Ills spirit like n stream
Of inereyfroin on high,
Or music in the di.eam
That scuts the prophet's eye
0 laugh not at my_ word,
To worn your childhood's bo w .,
Cherish the gentle birds, •
Cherish the fragile flowet•s ;

There La a flower, a lovely flower,
'triaged deep Frith Faith's not:hanging Inns
Paresis the ether in its hour
to6..liest and serenest blue.
The streatnlet's gentle side it seeks;
The silent.foutit,.the shaded Brat, •
Aud sweekly to the heart it speaks,
Forget-toe-not, tiniet-me-not.
Mild as On; azure of thine eyes,
Soft as the halo-beam above,
Lc Minter whispers still it sighs,
Forget me not, my life, my hive!
'I here n here thy last steps turned away,
%Vet eyes shall wateh the ssered spot;
And this sweet flower be heard to say,
Forget ! hh, no ! forget-me•not !
Yet deep its ::rare Icasrs within
.ls well the hlightite; hue .11 . tame
And what that secret grief hath Imea,
The drooping stein may well declare

The daughters of the house were taught
that,alk 'pomp and 'pleasureof,tilia;„„world
was only vanity; that nothing was import

unblemished' worth i yet file all this; it so
happened that The mostli'velyintercstS and
endeavors, and the warmest wishes of the
hearts of, all, were direeted to. rank
,
and worldly fortune of every kind. The
daughters were 'taught- that • beauty was
nothing, and a no value ; yet they were
often compelled hifeel, and that painfnlly,
in the paternal house, that they. were not
handsome,

they learned,. and this only more and More
profoundly the more their years increased,
that marriage was the goal.of their being;
and in consequence thereof (though this
was never inculcated in words,) to esteem
the favor of man as the highest happiness,
denying all the time that they tho,ught.so.
We were three-sisters.--As_childre
was deeply impressed upon us that we
must loveone another ; but in consequence
of partiality on 'the side of our teachers, in
consequence of praise, and blame, rewards .
and punishments, which _in r agnitied, little
trdleS into. importance, envy and bitterness
were early sown among the -sisters. It
was said that my eldest sister and: myself,
that we were greatly attached to each other;
that we could not live asunder.. We were
gived aG exaMples of sisterly love ; and
froM constantly hearing allthis, we at last
came to believe it; Ve were compared to
the carriage horses of the:family.; and as
we always, of our own accord, seatekt oat
selves every day after dinner on each side
of our good father, we. ware caressed by.
him, and called his horses. Yet,in fatiti we
did not pull together. My sister was more
richly endowed by nature than I, and won
favor more easily. Never did I ehz:l , hu
man being as I envied her, until in later
years, and under altered eireiustices, I
learned to love her rightly, end to rejoice
over h'er advankageS.

know nothing better !" \ft:never thobght
that ourphilosophy was someAat akin to
the fox and the grapes.
If We looked in this Manner upon the
advainalge's of the great; we despised still

and if even a theatriCal piece Was talked of

,
ticulrly-mtention. young- ladies or our
acquaintance connected themselves by ioar-
riage with men were rather Oieve
than below them in property and station,
we considered it, without exception, rea
lonable and esfintable: But if a than ivhose
connexions and prosPeets
• were similar to
our own, ‘tallted toward oar house for a
wife, we considered it great audacity, and
treated it accordingly. We were secretly
looking out f o r genteeler and richer• indt

out in the great. world is a very useful
thing, both for gentlemen mid ladies, al-,

looked .ont,•or those•whodid not.
In the mean time, a spirtt full of living
energYi was developed. within me, which
woke me to a sense of its after-existence
—to a sense of the enslaving contradictions
in which it moved, and to the strong de
-1 sire to free itself from them. As yet, how- .
ever, I did not Understand what I was to
do with Ink restless spirit. By content
:dation, however, of noble works of art; it
appeared to me that the enigma of my in
ter self was solved., When I observed the
antique 'vestal, so calm; 40 assured, and yet
se gentle—when I eaw how she stood,
self-possessed, firm and serene --=-I had a
foretaste of the lifc which I needed, and
sought after, both outwardly and inwardly,
l and wept tear's ofinelanchely longing.
