Would Come to darken time andburthen toil !
Thy joyous laugh, thy step of buoyant grace,
Thy dreams, the romance of the eager soul,
The fresh blood mantling o'er thy guileless face,
The bright lip spurning falsehood's vile control
The eye of light and laic, the trusting heart, .
Take these with life, but tear us not apart!
First-born and loveliest---Nature's chosen child—
Thine was the voice that Cyst in Eden'il shades
Thrilled through the glens and groves with music

And won die coy doe from the quiet glades--
Thine was the spirit of that early time,
Golden and glorious 'with Creation's light;
When, rich in beauty, and unknown to crime,
Young Paradise, with hinoimatte was bright--

Smiled Mike splendor of their Alaker's beam!
Oh ! go not.yet, sweet youth, enchanting one,
Or leave rue all thy hopes or thoughts of bliss---
What though 'they fade before my race is run;
They will but pais to happier worlds than this!

As I passed by her cottage this afternoon;

he chances to pass the parsonage, will
MOst likely - be saluted by a sweet "smile
and bow. And frotkwlniM do you tho?
Why, from Lilly Larnari, who is airing
the parlor dusting the furniture, or arrang ;
ing some Creeping flowers beside the door,
with het • pretty ,face. almost hidden in a
"kerchief white." And it may be, when
mooing in one of his fields :in the after

their leader. She is a pure-hearted lover

lath a language which causes her to feel
that the attributes of God are infinite. For
her gayer hours. Nature "bath a tale of
gladness, 'and a smile and eloquence„ of
beauty, and glides into her darker musings
with a mild and gentle sympathy,. which
steals away their sharpness; .ere'she is a
ware." - •
But limy does the-;busy , hersell at horrid?
it will be asked. - ,She -is an early riser;
and the firstthing the does in the morning,
after she has left her room, is to put every
thing In itd plafte •tvhich out of place.—
She kindly directs and helps Betty, the
servant, to perform those numerous little
household duties,such as feeding the chick.,
ens and straining the milk, not forgetting
to give pussy a saucer full of •the warm .
sweet liquid. She sets the intalrfast table,
prepares the taas -j i- and all those kindred
delicacies, and pours out the coffee, sitting
like a fairy queen itt the old lii 4 ll backed
chair, with her •parents on either side.—
And when her father clasps his .hands to
implore a blessind, she meekly bows her
head, sweetly responding to the solemn a
men. jr anything Is wanted from 'the
kitchen, she is up, and away, and back a
gain, al,mmit a minute, so sprightly is
she in all her movements. Boring the
forenoon she is generally helping her mdth
er to sew or knit, or do any thing else
which is required to be done; or, if her
father wants her to read one of his chaste
and deeply-religions sermons, the sweet
ness oT her eloqUent voice makes it doubly'
impressive. In the afternoon she is gener-;
ally engaged in some benevolent duty.H
Not one in a hundred is so well acquainted
with the ppur of the parish.

She enters the abode of the pAor widow,
and, beside; administering to her temporal
wants, gives her the overflowing sympathy
of her own warm heart, ;ultninistering at
the same time the consolations of religion.
It is a common sight to see her tripping
along the street ; With. a basket on her arm;
and the clerk or more stately merchant, as
he sees her pass hie door, takes particular
pains to make a respectful bow, inwardly
exclaiming, "tvho now is to become the
debtor 'of Lilly burnard?" And the stran
ger, who may have Met her in his walk,

Lilly left school about two years ago, be- .
cause her father chose to superintend her
education himself. She is a good scholar
in everything requisite fora lady.. You
can hardly puzzle her with questions in
history, geography or mathematics. lier
modesty and simplicity elVaracter are so
great, that you would be surprised•at the
extvnt of her book information and practi
cal knowledge. She has a wonderful alent
for makiiig herself agreeable under all cir

in the.street, she , * will talk familiarly Willi ,
her about her sorrows, instructing i tg to
bear up under every trial. She is the tini•!

who know her, the poor end the rich, from
the child of three years to the hoary head,

an , idea of her poetic power?, I will here

is within sound of the never 2 ceasing roar
'of the Atlantic. Thu title of it is—

ittg in their freedom .to outstrip the breeze.
Whence comes this breeze, and whether is
it going? Three days ago, at set of sun,
it spread its wings near to a sandy desert
of Africa, where a caravan or camels and
horses and men had halted for the. night
and at the dawning of to-morrow , it will he
sporting with the forest trees of the r..eatern
wilderness !
Far as the eye could reach, the see is
" sprinkled o'er witli 7 ships, 6 'their White

thenilias just returned fromindia, another
front the; Pacific, and another froii the
Arctic Sea. rears haire elapied‘sinee they

who foil& the ocndd in thellow of .his

of thanksgiving, and . what a thrilling and
joyous shout will echo to the shore, as
those stern-beaten mariners drop alfehor
in their native waters! Yonder, too, are
othei ships, bound to the remotest cornerd
of the earth. They seem to rejoice in
their beauty amLspoetl, and proud is their
bearing; but wilt they, ever return ? Alas !
the shadowy future alone can-answer.—
Farewell, a long farewell, ye snowy daugh

But to return. Lilly Laniard is fond of
inusie; too, and plays delightfully on the
harp: ller : voice is sweeter than the fall
of waters whi n heard at a distance ill the
stillness of the twilight hour. Site knows
nothing of fashion, and if she did, would
consider it beneath her dignity to be in
commoded or bnayed by it. Instead of
decking hers'elf with gew-gawS for. a bril
-1 liant appearance in the gay saloon, within
sound of the rude jest and foolish flattery,
she strives by watchfulness and care to
pdrify her daily conduct, for hers is "no less'
prone to sin than all other human hearts.
"Necklaces' does she sometimes wear in
her playful. glee, Made of the . pbrple fruit
that feeds the small birds in the moors; and
beautiful is the gentle stain then visible,
over the blue veins of her swanlike bo
som." Beautiful as she is, a feeling, tif
vanity never yet entered' the heart of the
rector's daughter. She feels too deeply
the truth 'that personal charms, whidi are
the only pride of weak-minded persons;
dine Will ever wally transform into wrink
led homeliness; and that an afrectionite
heart and good understanding will endure,
and become,morepprfect, Until the pilgrim
age of life t ended. .
Never has Lilly Laniard been more than
'thirkirtnit' - N,, , away from the village of her
birth. She has read of cities a n d the busy.
Multitudes that throng them; Of armies and
navies; of politics 'mid war; but all these
things to her are but as the 'visions of a

historical roinance, lately, published

ing scene, ?n which . the .readeris
intro
d la the death bed of Qurfan Eliza
hOt. Har Majesty has summoned Lucy
Fenton to Wait upon - 14 The scene is
perverful and melo-dramatic
• The Queen lay in her bed ; she had or
dered her att4danti not to dra - iv .the cur
tains 'over her , Windows, and she watched
the leafless trees waving:to and fro before
them, and the ruddy flame of her .fire
dancing upon the , tapestry. Elizabeth had
sunk into 'that partial torpir in which;
though the mind has net altogether yielded
to the influence of sleep, the memories, the
visions that pass :over it, have the indis
tinctness- of a- dreaM, tl. long train of :
shadows flitted before the mental eye of
Elizabeth ; there Wan the fair face of Ger
trude Harding and another face as fair: the
features too of , the ill-fated Essex rose to
blight her in her sleep; but ever, were those
feMale facei present, even When the others•
had passed away. Suddenly „Elizabeth,
started up—she was wide mtralte, but an
unutterable horror had seized Upon her
soull-Lany thing to escape from that bed ;
and when ben dismal shriek had summon
ed her attendants to her apartment, they
found her standing in her night dress on
the floor, her hands clenched, her eyea fix
ed as in a convulsion, and specks of foam
upon her, Parted lips. It was a frightful,
spectacle, the strongly marked but wither- 1
ed features' . - and stony blue eyes of the mis
erable Queen
But what needs it to prolong the
of scenes so horrible; the struggles of
a'scul which had used its greatness-to de 7
strify ; and which, summoned to quit that
world‘it had too much loved, shrunk front
the contemplation of its past career. •
No entreaties
_could prb . vail itpoii the
wretched Queen to return to her bed ; she
raved, screamell, and wept at the proposal.
Cushions were brought, and upon them
she was extendcd;, bitterly bemoaning her
miserable fate, ane refusing all refreshment
•
and consolation.
, Who does not know that, for ten' days
the unhappy Queen thus remained, still re
fusing to enter her bed. The Bishops,
and the Lord , : of the f aIN; in vain
entreated' her to alter this resolution. - To
Lucy \V ilongliton, whom she still detained
in attendance, she expressed strong indig
nation against Secretary Cecil, the son of
her old favorite Burleigh.
'lle telleth the people, Mistress Wil
oughton,' said Elizabeth, 'that I am mad;
but I am not mad ; oh, would to Cipd that
I were!'
'Gf'aelotts madam, be comforted !' as
Lucy, who was moved by the pitiable en
dition of the Queen. '
'Do not then mock me, fair dame, wi
such empty Words ? ' replied Elizilbeth :
`had thy poor cousiuseen me thus, she had
know i 1 the better than to talk of comfort.
Alas, alas; why does her face still pursue
ow . ?—God knows how bitterly I mourned
•her fate : but it cometh, it - coined) for ever,
and still accompanied ,by - another, Which
my soul sickened) to behold.' While Eli
zabeth spoke, entered Sir Robert Cecil,
will* the Lni'd Admiral, a 'relation of the
Queen : they came to entreat that she
would suffer herself to be conveyed to bed.
Elizabeth looked round shuddering at
her costly couch, 'Oh, never, never r she
excla6ded. i 01); Cecil, it thou hadst seen
what I have s t eenohou wouldst dot drive
any mistress to that couch of horrors I'
`'iVhat has,, yoUr Grace there beheld ?
said Cecil ; `have yuu seen the dwellers o

'Nay !' answeiedElizabeth, 'assuredly
that is an idle

AGRICULTURAL REVIEW FOR ti sia.
In looking back on the state of the coun
try, the crops, and the condition
agri
culture for the past year, we find much
cause for pleasurable gratulation, and for
gratitude. The season has been a favor
able one on the whole; the crops have been
abundant, and the condition of the farming
and planting interests, and as a matter of
course the country, has been constantly im
prOving. In a country like ours, embrac
ing such a variety of clirhate, and so many
objects of culture, it would be - little tikbrt
of a miracle, if in every part, and_with
every variety of product, there should he
no failures ; if every where the proper
condition of temperature, of heat, mois
ture, and duration, should be precisely What
is required. Such a state of things it is
unreasonable to expect ; but loMil failures
scarcely effect the general result.
The temperature.of that pa r t of tile year
which has the most influence on the labors
of the farni, has been favorable to the ma
turity of the crops. Septethber, however,
Was warmer several degrees than it has
been for several years past.. 'There-have
been numerous and sudden. fluctuations of
tethperature the whole' season, and these
have not been without their influence on
the crops as well as the general health—
Thus, on the first day of Jime, More or
less snow fell over most of the northern
states, and about the middle of September,
frosts sufficiently- severe to injure corn, oc
curred in many places. From the 25th of
September to the present time; the weather
has been very unfavorable, and its effect
on the securing and preservation of crops,
has been very injurious and will be widely
felt. Snow, to the depth of from 1.0 to 20
inches fell over most of the north, previous
to the middle of November; aml the frosts
at the south in °blither, were destructive to
fhb late. cotton and tobacco.
The Wheat Crop of the United States
for the year 1843, is greater than has ever
before been produced. Immediately be
fore the harvest, prospects were.diseourag-
Mg. In some places the Hessian fly had
appeared, in others the grain Worm, and
nearly. everywhere the grain was standing
thin upon the gt mold, having in some places
been smothered with snow, and in others
frozen out in the spring. To the surprise
of all, the insects did comparatively little
damage, the heads came up large and lint
and the berry was of the fittest qbality.—
The yield per sheaf,. was unusually large,
and More great crops of wheat have been
grown the present year than in any previ
ous one. About two millions of barrels of
flout paSsed down the Erie canal, and the
quantities recei v ed at Baltimore and New
Orleans, have been unusually heavy. A
great quantity of land has been seeded this
fall with wheat, but those tVho were late in
their labor, were obliged to put f otheir seed
when the soil vtas•not in the best condition

The .main root crop of the country bi -
PoT4foia—indeed, we question whether
there ier,any. one that in all the Middle 'or
Northern States contributes more to the
food or comfort of the inhabitants than the
potatue. We are sorry to say that this
crop has suffered 'much from severaluenses,
'aim that while, in some-districts there is a
general failure, in ho one, as we can learn,
has it reached an average crop . . The pc,-
tames are small and few in number', were .
late in maturing, and many were gathered .
prematurely. In those places where the .
drool) was more severe, the potatoes have
suffered more than the corn; and their ma
turing mire sensibly retarded. In niany—
cases, indeed, the tops died in tile fields
long Were tile roots had ripened, and thus
all posSibility of improvement from the late
rain was edit off. We saw many instances
in -which the first set of tubers had sprouted
.for the 'second crop, owing to the early
stage, in which thek_had ripened. It fs
doubtless to be attributed to-this premature .
ripening that'decay or rot is so extensive
among the roots gathered, so much so min
many cases to threaten a total loss.
In England and Scodrl, the potato°
crop has for several years past been liable
to great injury,• and in some cases a total
failure from a disease called the curl, in
which the tops died immediately after the
formation of the tubers commenced, leav
ing them wholly unfit for use. have
seen some cases of the same difficulty here,
and it is not impossible that it may become
as destructive here as abroad" No satis,
factory solution of the cause of the evil .
has been given, though it has received at
tention front the ablest men of these coun
tries; and it would be well forthe Ameri
can farmer to be as far as possible on his
guard, and, as a preventive, never plant
potatoes successively on the same soil, or'
use any but sound
,mature seed. Ilaising
new varieties from seed, it'is probable, will
eventually be 'found •the best method of pre
venting diseases in this important vegeta
ble; although the opittion'that varieties de
generate and run out, has yet received no
positive confirmation.
The other crops, suqlt as hay, roots A
general, garden vegetables, &c., have been
very good, and the early appearance of
wh:ter indicates that all will be required
for the flocks and herds before the next
spring. lit this respect, our friends at the
South and West have greatly the advantage
of us Northerners, as it demands no small
part of our summer labor to provide food
for our animals during our winters. It is
evident great improvements in the winter 7
ing of stock might be effected by the adop
tion of the practice of stabling, or provid
ing good warm ;haler for animals, and'by
cutting brpinding the food furnished them . .
