She sat upon the shore, And looked defiance from her hundred guns, When France and England’s warrior sons Came the blue waters o’er. *Twas harvest in the land ; -
’Mid peaceful farms and piled sheaves, And clustering grapes, and autumn leaves, They leapt upon the strand.
To meet the foe they rushed ; On Alma’s slopes they trod the vine~— Earth drank the fiercely mingled wine From death's red vintage crushed.
Before her granite walls They came and back her proud defiance hurled, And their brave boast rang through the world— ‘* Oppression’s stronghold talls !’’ The storied times of old With battle and with siege are rife, But this prolonged, gigantic strife Mocks all that has been toid. Immortal fields of fight Those fiercely leaguered walls surround— Each spot a Hloody battle ground, River, and yale, and height.
There, on the plain below, Contending armies gazed and held their broath, While England’s horsemen rode to death
As for a martial show.
There, on our sleeping host, Through mist the foc’s dark masses stola, Burst wave on wave, like thunder roll
Of breakers on the coast.
As mists before the sun
Are scattered up the vale at morn,
That day beheld them backward borno— And inkermann was won !
And oft the silent night, With ail her train of stars, would seem to floo ; W hile flashed upon the dreaming sea Destruction’s baleful licht, Like sun to darkness buried, With their first blaze the cannon’s flash Flamed out, and there was crash on crash As of a rending world. Yet Freedom’s hopes grew pale, As sunk the brave and quailed the bold ; For ** who can stand before His eold’”’ Who sendeth forth the hail?
And armies low were laid, And in the silent land, ‘mid thronging ghosts, The leader met his vanished hosts, With Him the strife who made. Leaders and legions gone, Fresh leaders and fresh legions rose ; And hosts were slaughtered of the foes, And other hosts came oa— For many a warlike horde,

Crimean vales aloug Tchernaya flowed—her icy lips unsealed ; Te her wild flowers, by wood and field, She sang her summer song. On plains of peace afar Ripened the grape and waved the grain, And it was harvest-time again On fields unseathed by war.
And, glimmering in the dawn Of autumn morn, Tchernava flows A gentle river, between foes "
In battle order drawn.
Soon on her banks the dead
No morning cloud reflected gleam Those mingling streaks of red. And thrice the foe adyanee, Across the bridge they charge—they fly ; Triumphs the ee of Italy With England and with France. Yet still the fortress frowned Defiance on the fierce attack, And hurled the bleeding columns back From towers iron-bound. The death-gripe sterner grew, As tighter folds the Headly serpent twines ; Till, vaulting from the close drawn lines, ‘They storm her strength anew. A rush! they reach the walls, Or through the wheeling deaths advance, Now—glory to the flag of Franee— The mighty stronghold falls! And darkness to the skies Beheld her roof forsaken flame, And fires with suicidal aim From her proud decks arise.
Cities whose power has fled
Yet a mild Justre in decay From their past glories shed. But not to thee belong Their glories—none of these are thine. Majestic learning, art divine, Immortal names and song— These, ere their sun went down, Shed o’er the world benignant rays; Thou buat the lightning’s lurid blaze— Thy Fall thy sole renown.

, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1855. No. 20.
Lay heaped, and mangled corpses choked the stream ;
And from whom crowns and thrones have passed away,
Kare Dartrnctox was a belle and a beauty, and had,! as might be supposed, not a few admirers. Some were mind of Mr. Darlington. attracted by her person ; some by her winning manners, and though sweet é Kate was both a belle auda beauty, she wasa shrewd, | municate a knowledge of the fact,” replied Kate, lier eyes
clear secing girl,and had far more penetration into character than belles and beauties are yenerally thought to possess.
But as she was an heiress in expectaney and moved in the most respectable society, and was, withal, a gay and sprightly girl, Kate, as a natural consequence, drew around her the gilded moths ofsociety, not a few of whom got ‘their wings scorched, on approaching too near.
Many aspired to be lovers, and some, more ardent than the rest, boldly pressed forward and claimed her hand. But Kate did not beleive in the doctrine that love begets love in all cases. Were this so, it was clear that she would have to love halfa dozen, for atleast that number came kneeling to her with their hearts in their hands.
Mr. Darlington was a merchant.—-Among his clerks was the son of an old friend, who, in dying some years before, had earnestly solicited him to have some care over the lad, who athis death would become friendless. In accordance with this last request, Mr. Darlington took the boy into his counting-room; and, in order that he might, with mora fidelity, redeem his promise to the dying father, also received him into his family.
Edwin Lee proved himself not ungrateful for the kind+ ness. Ina few yearshe became one of Mr. Dariington’s most active, trust worthy, and intelligent clerks; whiie his kind, modest, gentlemanly deportment at home, won the t. vor and confidence of all the family. With Edwin, Kate greW up as witha brother. heir intercourse was of the most frank and confiding character.
But there came at last a change. Kate from a graceful, sweet-ten.vered affectionate girl, stepped forth, almost in a day, it seented to Edwin, a full grown lovely weman, into whose eyes he could not look as steadily as before, and on whose beautifa! face ln could no longer gaze with the calm- ‘ness of feeling he had until now enjoyed. | Forawhile Eawin could not understand the reason of this change. Kate wasthe same to him;and yet not the same. There was no cistance—no reserve on her part; |and yet, when she lovked bim steadily in the face, his eyes would droop, involuntacily, beneath ber gaze.
Suddenly Edwin awoke toa full realization of the fact that Kate was to him more tham a gentile friend or a sweet sister. From that moment, be beeaime reserved in his in- tercourse with her; and, after a short time, firmly made up ‘his mind to retire from the family of his benefactor. The | thought of endeavoring to wir te heart of the beautiful i girl whom he bad always loved as 4 sister, and now almost
worshipped, was not fora moment entertained, To him | there would have been so much of ivgratitade in this, and so imuch that involved a base violation of Mr. Darlington's | confidence, that he would have suffered anything rather than | be guilty of such an act.
| But he could not leave the home where he had been so | kindly regarded for years, without off ring some reason that | would be satisfactory. The true reasm he could not of jcourse give. After looking at the subject in various lights, ‘and debating it fora long time, Edwin could sec no way in | which he could withdraw from the family of Mr. Darlington, | without betraying his secret, unless he were to leave the city at the same time. We therefore songtit and obtained | the situation of superéirgo in a veseel loaded gor Valpairaso.
| When Edwin announced this facet to Mr. Darlington, the | merchant was greatly surprised, and appeared Jhurt that the young man should take such a step without a word of con- sultation with him. Kdwin tried to explain; but, as he had to conceal the real truth, his explanation rather tended to ‘make things appear worse than better
Kate heard the announcement with no less surp rise-than ber father. The thing was so sudden, so unlooked for, and moreover, uncalled for, thet she eould not unders: and it. In order to take away any pecuniary reason for the step he was avout to take, Mr. Darlington, after holding a conv ¢rsa- | tion with Edwin, made him offers far more advantageous than his proposed expedition could be to him, viewed in any lig bt. But he made them in vain. Edwin acknowledged the kind- nes?, in the warmest terms, but remained firm in his purpose to sail with the vessel.
“ Why will you go away and leave us, Edwin ?” said Kate one evening, when they happened to be alone, about two weekg before his expected departure. * I do think it very strange!”
Edwin had avoided as much as possible being alone with ' Kate, a fact which the observant maiden had not failed to notice. Their being alone now was from accident rather than design on his part.
“T think it right forme to go, Kate,” the young man | replied, as calmly as it was possible for him uuder the cir- ‘cumstances. ‘And when I think it right to doa thing, I } never hesitate or look back.”
“You have a reason for going, of course. Why, then, not tell it frankly? Are we not all your friends ?”
Edwin was silent, and his eyes rested on the floor, while a deeper flush than usual was upon his face. Kate looked at him fixedly. Suddenly a new thought flashed through her mind, and the color on her own cheeks grew warmer. Her voice from that moment was lower and more tender ; and her eyes, as she conversed with the young man, were never a moment from his face. As for him, his embarrassment in her presence was never more complete, and he betrayed the secret that was in his heart even while he felt the most earnest anxiety to conceal it. Conscious of this; he excused himself and retired as soon as it was possible to do so,
Kate sat thoughtful for some timeafter he had left. Thea rising up, she went with a firm step to her father’s room.
« | have found out,” she said, speaking with great self-com-
osure, “ the reason why Edwin persists in going away.”
« Ah! what is the reason, Kate? I would give much te know.”
« He is in love,” replied Kate promptly.
“In love! How do you know that ?” | 4] made the discovery to-night.” :
* Love should keep him at home, not drive him away,” said Mr. Darlington.
‘* But he loves hopelessly,” returned the maiden. “ He ig poor, and the object of his regard belongs to a wealthy family.”
“ And her friends will have nothing to do with him.”
“T am not sure of that. But he formed an acquaintance with the lady under circumstances that would make it mean, in his eyes, to urge any claims upon her regard.”
“Then honor as well as love takes him away.”
“ Honor in fact; not love. Love would make him stay,” replied the maiden, with a sparkling eye, and something of proud elevation in the tone of her voice.
A faint suspicion of the truth now came stealing on the
« Does the lady know of his preference for her ?” he asked, “Not through any word or act of his, designed to com-
