POETRY.
Nothing Good shall ever Perish.
Nothing good shall ever perislt,
Only the corrupt shall die,
Truth, which men and angels cherish,
FlourishCs•eternally.
None are wholly God forsaken,
All his sacred linage bear,
None so lost but should awaken
In our hearts a brother's care.
Not a mind but has its mission,
Power of working wo or weal,
So degraded none's condition,
But the world his weight may feel
Words of kindness, words of warning.
Deem not thou mayst speak in vain,
Even those thy counsel scorning
Oft shall they return again.
Though the mind absorbed in pleasure
Ilolds the yoke of counsel light,
Still loth litithful memory treasure
What at first we seemed to slight.
Words of kindness we have spoken
May, wh en Ave have passed away,
Heal, 'perhaps, a spirit broken,
Guide a brother led astray•
Thus our very thoughts arc living,
Even when we are not here,
Joy and consolation giving
To the friends we hold tit mt dear
Not an act but is recorded,
Not a word but has its weight,
Every virtue is rewarded,
"Outrage punished, soon or late
Let no being then be rated
AS a thing of little worth,
Every soul that is created
liati its part to play On earth

There's something inure than beauty . , an ex

Of Intellectu a l grandeur on her brow ;
And her full oval eyes give utterance
To feelings deer), for which the tongue, of man

"Which Nom van curl with bitterness, also eau
Smile with such sweet n ess as the sun-fed south
Kindles on young love roses ; round her neck
Her long and thickly clustering ringlets owe,
Like tendrils which some faultless statue deck.
Her form is faultless. Such is she I love.
Lovely, although not beautiful, is she ;
Aye loveliest to mine eyes—for she loves me.
MISCELLANY.
A Toucnixo ScENE.—A French paper
says, Lucilla Romeo, a pretty little . girl,
with blue eyes and fair hair, poorly, but
neatly clothed, was brought before the Sixth
Court of Correction, under a charge of va
grancy. "Does any one claim you ?" said
the magistrate. "Alt my good sir," she
replied, "I have no longer any; friends : my
father and mother are dead. I have only
my brother James, but he is as young as
I am. Oh, dear ! what could lie do fur
me ?" "Tim court.must send you to the
house of correction." "I fere lam sister.
Here.! am : do not fear," cried a childish
voice from the other end of the court.—
And at the same instant a little boy, with a
sprightly countenance, started forth from
the midst, of the crowd, and stood before
the magistrate. "Who are you ?" said he.
"James Romeo, the brother of ,this poor
little girl." "Your age ?" "Thirteen."
"And what do you want ?" "I come to
claim Lucilla." "But have you, then. the
means of providing for her ?" "Yester
day I had not, but now I have. Don't be
afraid, Lucilla." Lucilla "Oh ! how
good you are, James!" Magistrate to
James : "But let us see, my boy; the court
is disposed to do all it can for your sister.
However, you must give us sonic explana
tion." James : "About a fortnight ago
my poor mother died of a bad cough, for
it was very cold at home. We were in
great trouble. Then I said to myself, I
will become an artizan, and when I know
a good trade I will support my sister. I
went apprentice to a brushmaker. Every
day I used to carry her half my dinner,
and at night I took her secretly to my room';
and she slept in my bed while I slept on
the floor wrapped up in my blouse. But
it appeared the poor little thing had not e
nough to. eat, for one day she happened to
beg on the boulevard. When I heard that
she was taken up, I said to myself, came,
my boy, things cannot last so; you must
find something better. I very much wish
ed to beCome an artizan, but at last I deci
ded to look for a place ; and I have , found
a very good one, where I am lodged, fed
and clothed, and have 20 francs a month.
I have also found a good woman, who, for
these 20 francs, will take cap of Emilia,
and teach her needlework. I claim my
sister." Lucilla, clasping her hands :
"Oh, how good you arc, James ?" Mag
istrate to James ; "My boy, your conduct
is very honorable. The court encourage
you to persevere in this course, and you
will prosper." The court then decided to
render up Lueilla to James, and she was
going front the bar to join her brother, when
the magistrate, smiling, said : "You eau
not be set at liberty till to-morrow." James:
"Never mind, Encilla, 1 will come and
fetch you early to-morrow." To the mag
istrate : "1 may kiss her, may I not sir ?"
He then threw himself into the arms of his
sister, and both wept warm tears ofaflec
tion.
