Thoughts of ileaveth
No sickness
No weary waiting of the frame away,
No fearful bunking from the midnight air,
No dread of riummer'a bright and fervid ray!
No hidden grief,
No wild and cheerless vision of despair,
No vain petition for a swift relief,
No tearful eyes, no broken hearts are there.

In all the realms of ceaseless prayer and song!
Its billows break sway and melt in foam
Far from the mansions of the spirit throng'
The storm's black wing
Is never spread athwart celestial skies!
Its wailinge hlend not with the voice of Spring,
As some too tender flower fedea and dies!
No night distils
Its chilling dews upon the tender frame:
No moon is needed there! The light which Ells
That land of glory front its Maker camel
No parted friends
O'er mournful recollections have to weep?
No bed of death enduring love attend.
To watch the coming of a puleelese sleep.
No blasted flower
Or withered bud celestial gardens know!
No scorching blast or fierce descending shower
Scatters destruction like a ruthless foe!
No battle word
Startles the sacred host with tear and dread!
The song of peace Creation's morning heard
Is sung wherever angel minstrels tread!
Let ua depart
If home like this await the weary soul!
Look up thou stricken one! 'rhy wounded heart
Shall bleed no more at sorrow's stern control
With faith our guide,
White-robed and innocent to lead the way,
Vt by fear to plunge in Jordon 's rolling tide,
And And the ocean of eternal dayl

A fair cloud skirted the sky,
Just tinged with a gulden hue,
And a bright little star, like an Angel's eye,
(deemed modestly gleaming through.
And I gazed with unceasing delight,
The scene was lovely and new—
The cloud was so fair and so mellow the light
Of the star that was beaming thfough!
There were other bright watchers around,
That were 'shining more brilliantly far,
But my gaze was unconsciously bound
'Po the cloud, and the cloud-contacted star!
Thus modesty p;Offeir a ripen
That nu language can ever define,
Yet 1 feel it, and know it full well,
In those soft, trembling glances of thine,
Unlike the bold gazing of Pride,
Thine eye has an holier light,
Like nothing I know at beside
The star on the brow of the night!
The i leiress.
A sprightly. rosy-cheeked, flaxen haired little
girl, used to sit in the pleasant evenings of June,
on the marble steps opposite my lodging. when I
lived in Philadelphia, and sing over a hundred son
nets, and tell over as many tales, in a sweet voice,
and with an air of delightful simplicity, that charm
ed me many a time. She wart then an orphan chill
and commonly repe . i.ied to he rich. Often and of
ten I sat after a day of toil and vexation, and lie
tened to her innocent voice, breathing forth the
notes of peace and happiness, which flowed cheer
fully from a light heart and felt a portion of that
tranquility steal over my bosom. Such was Eliza
Huntly, when I fi et knew her.
t3everal years had elapsed, during which time I
was absent front the city, when walking along one
of the moat fashionable squares, I sew an elegant
female figure atop into a carriage, followed by a
gentleman and two pretty children. I did not im
mediately recogniae her face, but my friend who
was by my side pulled my elbow. Do you not
remember little Eliza, who used to sing for us when
we lived to ether in as alnutstreetl" I did rennin
ber it was herself... .

bhe used to be fond he acid, of treating her little
Circle of friends with romances—and at last she
acted out a neat romance herself. She came out
into the gay circle of life; under the auspice's of
her guardian. It wee said by some, she was rich
—very rich-6ut the amount of wealth did nut ap
pear to be a 'natter of publicity, however, the cur

mirers—and among the number not a few serious
courtiers.
She did not wait long before a young gentleman,
on whom she had looked with a somewhat partial
eve, because he was the gayest and handsomest of
her lovers, emboldened by her partiality, made her
an offer. Probably she blushed, and her heart
flairertil a little; het they were sitting in a moon•
light rarlor; and as her embarrassment rile more
thon half concealed, she. soon recovered, and as a
waggish humor happened to have the ascendant,
she put on a serious face, told him she was honor

"No sir," she replica!, "no eicuse nor apolO.l

her affairs, end receiving the same answer, i r
dropped his suit at once. •
The next serious proposal followed soon after,
and this too, 'came from one who succeeded to a
large portion of *tier esteem; but applying the dame
crucible to the love he offered, she found the like
result. He too, left, he'r—and she rejoiced in an
other fortunate escape.
She sometime after became acquainted with
young gentleman of slender fortune, in whose ap
proaches, she thought that she discovered more of
the timid diffidence of love than she lied witnessed
before. She did not check his hopes—end in pro
case of time, he, too, made her an offer. But when

She wee most disagreeabiy disappointed. They
were married, end the union wee solemnized; she
made him master of herself. •
"I am, indeed, worth eighteen hundred dollars,"
said she to him;'. but I 'Never said how much more;
and I hope never to enjoy more pleasure than I. feel
at this moment, when I tell you my fortune is one

It is actually so--but still her husband often tells
her that in her ho possesses a far nobler fortune.—

AUTUMN.
The seasons, revolving their annual round, once
more bring in those -melancholy days!' denomi
nated by the poet "the saddest of the year." They
are so: and the inquiry naturally arises, why is it?
what occasions those pensive and often gloomy
feelings that pervade the thinking mind at this
season of the year? In the true lover of nature,
the cause may readily be traced to a ay mpathizing
heart. He who has watched her from the first
bloomine of her springtime flowers, through the
blossoming of her nominee roses; who . caught a
glimpse of her earliest building plant, and observed
through all its periods, the putting forth of the lux
uriant forest tree; who has beheld, with the purest
delight. her thousand varied charme, and listened
with transport to the delicious warblings of her
woodland songsters;—why should he not feel sad
when all nature seems hastening to decay.
•
He has seen the sweet primrose and daisy disap
pear. and the last rose of Summer, nipped by the
biting frost, rapidly fading before him, and the gay
notes of the feathered tribe. which were wont to
arouse him it early dawn, or cheer his steps at sun
set hour, dying gradually away, as, one by one ,
these charming minstrel,' hasten afar to southern
climes, soon to greet his car no more. Still he
seeks from time to time the endeared retreats of no,.
turo, and, standing on some eminence whence he
may survey the surrounding prospect, he beholds
the fields naked and desolate, the forests stripped of
their green foliage, and every thing around wearing

we are led to consider that our periods of existence

coming on, we shall soon be nipped by the chilly
blasts of Death, and take our final slumber in his
cold embrace. . .
As we see the vegetable kingdom—that lately
appeared in all its richness and beauty, decorating

And pale concluding winter comes at last,
And shuts the scene!"

An infidel's End

for the lent century, woo an Infidel ; it was the mel

to the reputation of all who pretended to philoso

land to rebuke the evil spirit--and its name was
legion. His last effort, when his speech tailed him,
eras to write on Ins tablet.—" Death is but a sleep:"
and a request for some opium to extinguish his life
and pains together. Still, even in tine fatal insen
sibility to all that constitutes the greatness of the
dying mind, awl of those illustrioua hope. and
feelings which to Christians throw their light across
the grave, the sinking man of genius showed some
of that brilliancy whirh had once given him ouch
distinction among his countrymen. ..Take away

things. Why should man he surrounded by tho

But this passed away with the return of pain, and
he once more asked for opium to end the struggle.

He swallowed it. dropped back upon his pillow,
