iii A NOTE 10 I rarest).

I'm sitting at my desk, George; Before me on the floor

There lies a worn-nut fount of type, Full twenty thousand score;

And many months have passed, George, Since they were bright and new,

And many are the tales they've told-— The false, the strange, the true‘.

Their beauty has all gone, George; You scarcely now may trace, Upon the snowy medium, ;The likeness uftlieir face. They remind me of a man. George, ‘Vhose morn of life was full 0fprouiise, but whose eve \Vas desolate and dull.

What tales of horror have they told, Oftempest and of wreck; 'Of murder at the midnight hour; Of war full many a “ speck ;" Ofships that far away at sea Went down before the blast; 0f stifled cries of agony, As life's last moment passed!

‘IOf earthquakes and ofsuicidcs; Of failing crops of cotton;

Of bank defaulters, broken banks, And banking systems rotten;

Ofboilers bursting, steainboats sunk, Of riots, duels fought;

Of robbers with their prey escaped, Ofthieves with booty caught.

Ofland-slides and of waterspouts; Of ants and alligators; ‘Ofmonsters in the briny deep, 0f giant sweet potatoes; . Ofchildreii lost tllltl children found; Finances in disorder; Of fights among the Chartists, Arid troubles on the boider.

T ,y've told us of ri nation, George, 'ent sorrowii-g iii the dust, . A For one whom she had called to fill " Her highest, dearest trust; Of sparkling crowns for youthful brows; 0f royal coronations ', iOf plupryto rid the earth ofkings; Uft _ ’i'ance roformations. ()f {load fire and accident, 'l‘hose‘wurii-out types have told, And how the pestilence hath swept The youthful and the old; Of marriages, of births and deaths; .- . ,. W I ' v one man s yimping overboard, Another gone to Texas !

They‘ve told how long sweet summer day- Have faded from our View, I

How aiituiiin’s chilling wind hath swept The leaf-crowned forest throifgh;

How winter's rain both come and gone-— Dark reign ofstorm and strife-—

And how the smiling spring _hiid warmed The pale flowers back to life.

over his Sister.

"‘ Brother," exclaimed she, with an energy that startled him; f' brother, I have seen him l" “ IIunl whom l—Oh, heaven 1" sobbed the youth. Eulalie motioned for some drops that stood on the table. Leonard poured some from the phial, and administered them; they. seemed to revive her. Sh. spoke in I stronger votce, and less interruptedly. “I saw him—the Marquis de Vermeuifi” “ l‘he villai-nl” groaned her brother. “ Yes—he is so, Leonard, or he could not have acted as'he has done,” said Eulalie, with strange calmness. “ l‘o deceive a young girl like me by a false marriage, and then desert her—” “ Hisrlife shall pay for it,” said Leonard, in a voice of agony. “ Not so l” cried Eulalie.

“ Would such it revenge profit me? Hear me, Leonard. The hand of death is upon me, and, ere I die, I have 'a boon to ask. But, before I name it. you must promise—promise me solemnly, on your knees, Leonard, and before God, that you will never attempt his life.—Leave to the Almighty Judge the punishiiieiit of my wrong. Leonard, promise me. It is Eulalic’s last prayer but one."

,, onard hesitated, but, ailjiired again and again, he knelt down and took the requiredbath.

" Now hear me,” said his sister, “ for my strength is failing, and the moments are numbered in which I can speak tit all. I saw the Marquis tle Vermenil from yon window. He drove past it in hisv‘ichariot. and beside him was seated a bcaiiteous lady, whom I judged, from the food look with which be regarded her, he means to make his bride. Leonard, I do not envy her, but is it wrong to wish thatl could leave the world as the wife, not as the outcast mistress of him who once lured me?

oath ‘."

And, summoning the nurse to watch by the coach of

the dying girl, the young man left his sister on his strange errand to the Chateau de Vermeuil, some . milesdistiint from Paris. To the burning impatience of his Fpll’ll, the. fleet horse he rode went slowly ; and though yet early in the evening. it seemed to him that hours passed before he reached the chateau. Ilis horse was wet \rith foam as he dismounted at the gates. Those gates were not solitarv; a group ofgallant steeds were led to and he by; gaily dressed menials, and one or two lately Iftwet guests, with riistling plumes and broidered mantles, Were admitted as he approached. Light streamed from the diamond shaded he castle, sod rich music floated i on the air. Marquis held a .very sumptuous feast, and entertained the-aristocracyofl’aris. For an instant there was a pause in the musrc, some toast was proposed ; then there was I burst of applIuse,
