How gracefully it flies ;
These.pretty stripes—they seem to be
A rainbow in the Skies."
"It is your country's flag, my eon,
And proudly drinks the light,
O'er ocean's waves, in foreign clime;
A symbol of our might."
"Father:'what fearful'noise is that,
Like thundering of the clouds;
Why do the people wave their hats,
And rush along in ct:owdi?"

AN INCONSOLABLE WIDOW;
OR.,
The Effects of the Lapse of Time
How rapid is the progress of oblivion, with
respect to those no more ! HoW many a quad
rille shall we see, this winter, exclusively mace
up from the ranks of inconsolable widows.—
Widows of this order exist only in the litera
ture of the tombstone. In the world, and
uf
ter the lapse of a certain period, there is but
one sort of widows _inconsolable---tliose who
refuse to be comforted, because they, can't get
married again
One of the most distinguished sculptors was
summoned, a short time since, to the houie of
a young lady, connected by birth with a fauni
ly of the highest grade in the aristocracy of,
wealthoind united in niarriage to the heir of
a title illustrious in the military annals of..the
The union for Med under the happiest au- .
spices, had been, alas! of short duratidn.—
,
Death, unpitying death, had, ruptuTed it, by
prematurely carrying off the young husband.
The sculptor was summoned by the widow.
He traversed apartments silent and deserted
until he was introduced into a bed room, and,
found himself in the presence of a lady, young
andbeautiful, but habited in the deepest
•
mourning, and with . a face furrowed with'
tears.
"You are aware," said she with a painful
effort and a voice half choked by sobs , : "You
are aware of the blow which I have received r'
The artist bowed with an air of respectful
condolence.
"Sir," continued the widow, 'I am anxious
to have a funeral monument erected, in honor
of the husband `whom I have lost.'
The artist bowed again.

be willing to sacrifice all my fortune to do
honor to the memory of an adored husband.—

"I will do my best to fulfill your wishes,
Madam," replied the artist; "but I had not
the honor of acquaintance with the deceased,
and alikeness of him is indispensable for the
execution of my work. Without doubt, you
have his likeness ?"
The widow raised her arm and pointed de
spairingly to a splendid likeness painted by
Awbury Duval.
"A most admirable picture !" observed the
artist, "and the painter's name is sufficient
guarantee for its striking resemblance to the
original."
"Those are his very features, sir; it is him
self. It wants but life. Ah ! would that I
could restore it to him at the cost of all. my
blood l"
"I will bare this portrait carried to my
studio, madam, and I promise you the marble
shall reproduce it exactly."
The widow, at these words, sprung up, and
at a single bound throwing herself towards the
picture, with arms stretched out, as though to
defend it, exclaimed :
"Take away this portrait! carry off my only
consolation ! my sole remaining comfort! net-
er ! never i" •
' "But, madam, you only will' be deprived of
it fora short - time, and—
- "Not an hour ! not a minute ! could I exist
without e his beloved image.! Look you, sir, Y
have had
. it pliced tiere, in my own room; that
my eyes may be fastened upon it,. without
ceasing, and through my tears. His portrait
shall never leave this spot; not one single in
stant, and* in contemplating'That' will I pass the
remainder of a miserable and sorrowful exist
ence. •
"In' that case, madam, you Niill`be bonipelled
to permit me to take a copy of it. But do not
be uneasy -4 shall'` not have occasion to trou
ble your solitude'for any length of time, one
sketch, one sitting will suffice.""
The widow agreed to this arrangement; she
only insisted , that the artist, should come back
the following day. She wanted him to set to
work on the instant, so great was her longing
to see the mausoleum erected. The sculptor,
however, remarked that he had another work
to finish first. This difficulty she sought to
overcome by means of money.
. "Impossible," replied the artist, "I have
given my word ; but do not distress yourself ;
I will apply so, diligently, that the •monument
shall be finished in as short-a time as any other
sculptor, would require, who could apply him
self to it forthwith."
‘.l(uu see my distress,' , ' said the •widow ;
"you can make allowance fer my impatience.
Be speedy, then, and above,all; be lavish , of
magnificence. Spare no expense, only let me
have, a master piece." ,
Several letters echoed these injunctions dur
ing the few, days - immediately following the
interview.
At the expiration of three months the ar
tist called again. He found the widow still in
weeds, but a little less palid, and a little more
coquettishly dressed in her morning garb.
"Madam," _said he, entirely-at your
service."
"Ah ! at last; this is fortunate," replied.the
widow. with a gracious smile.
"I have made -my design, but. I still, want
one.sittingfor the likeness. Will you permit
me to go into your bed-room ?"
"Into my bed-room'? For what ?"
g.To look at: the portrait again."
" Oh ! yes; have the goodness to walk into
the drawing room; you will find it,there now."
"Ah!
"Yes:; it hangs better there, it is, better
lighted in the drawing room than in my own
room."
"Would you like, Madam, • to look at the
design for a monument ?"
"With pleasure. • Oh ! what a size, What
profusion of decorations I ,Why, it is a palace,
sir this tomb !"
",Did you not;tell me, madam, that nothing
could be too magnificent? I have not. consid
ered the expense; and by the way, here is a
memorandum of what the monument will cost
you."
"Oh, heavens !" exclaimed the widow, after
having cast.an eye ,over the total adding. up.
Why, this is enormous !"
"You begged me to.,spare ,no• expense."
"Yes, no doubt, I desire to do things proper
ly, but not exactly to make a' fool of, myself."
"This; at present, you see is only a design ;
and there is a time yet, to cut it down."
"Well, then suppose we leave out the tem
ple, and the colutns, and all the architectural
part, and content ourselves with , the statue?
It seems to me that would be very appropri-
ERNI
"Certainly it would."
"So let it, be then, just the statue alone"
Shortly after this second visit, the sculptor
in Italy, prescribed by his physician, he pre
sented himself once more before the widow who
was then in the tenth month of her mourning.
He found this time a few roses,•amonglbe
cypress, and some smiling colors played over
halt shaded grounds.
The artist brought with him a little Mode
of the statue, done in plaster, and offering in
minature the idea of what his work was to be.
"What do you think of the likeness?" he
inquired of the widow.
"It seems to me a little flattered ; but'you
are making him an Apollo I"
"Really ? well, then, I can correct my work
by the portrait."
"Duu't take the trouble—a little more, or a
little less like, what does it matter?
"Excuse me, but I am particular about like
nesses."
"If you absolutely must PI

I'll =a.in there."
"It• is not', there any longer, replied the
widow; ringing the bell. • a
"Baptiste," said she to the servant who
came 'iu, "bring down the protrait of your
master." 4
"The protrait that you sent up in the gar

"Yes."
At this momentthe door opened, and a young
man of distinguished air entered; his manners
were , easy and `-familiar; he kissed the fair
widow's'handi and-leaderly inquired after her
health. • '
• "Who in the world is thio gbod man in plas•
ter 1' asked he, pointing with his finger to the
statue, which the artist had placed upon the
mantle-piece.
"It is the model of a statue for my huiband's
tomb."
"You - are having a statue of him made 7

"Do you think so f"
"It 'is only great men who are thus cut out
of marble, and at full length; it seems to me
too, that the deceased was a very ordinary per
son age ." •
"In fact his bust would be sufficient."
"Just as you please Madam;" said the sculp
tor.
"Well, then let it be a bust, then—that's
d'etermined ?"
• Two months latter, the ailist, carrying home
the bust, encountered on the 'stairs a merry
party: The widow, giving her hand to the
elegant `dandy, who• had caused the statue of
the .decedied to 'be cut down, was on her way
to the Mayor's office, where she was about to
take the second oath of conjugal fidellty.
If the bust had not been completed, it
would willingly have been dispensed with.
When sometime latter, the artist called for his
money; there was an outcry agamst the price;
and it required little less than a threat of legal
proceedings before the widow, consoled and re-
Married,- - concluded'by resiuging herself to pay
for this funeral homage, reduced as it was, to
the memory of her departed husband.
