, aim to promote.
The general politics of our beloved country, shall I
occasionally occupy our columns, but as Editors, we, !

ry GEORGE D. PRENTICE.
1 have seen the infant sinking down, like a
stricken I* > ver to the grave—the strong man
■ fiercely lii'-aihing out his soul upon the field
- f list L he miserable convict st miimg "P
ion the scaffold with a deep curse quivi rm on :
| JH ]jps I have viewed Death m all hi- I s

but 1 t.*\er eo .Id I »<»k on woman, voting
and levelv w oman, .idtng aw n, from the ]
ear Ii in I"- i liifnl and uncomplaining inelan- ■
cnollv, without feeling the very fount ms of i
Ife turned to te trs and dust. D ‘atti i ■ nlw ys I
terrible bit when a form of augel b< auty is '
parsing off to tiie silent land < * the sleepers, '
tlie heart fecis that something lovely is ceas
ing from existence, and broods, with a sense
of utter de-olaiiuti, over the lonely thoughts, '
that come up like spectres from the grave, to
haunt our midnight inus.ngs.
Two years ago, I took up mv residence for
a few weeks, in a country village in the eastern
part of New Fnglaud. Soon niter my arri
val I bee »mc acq <a n ed with a lovely girl, ap
pirontlv about »eveu een \eiis of age. Sh<
ii nl lost ihe idol of Io r pure heart’s purest
love, and the sh idows of deep and holy mem
■ ones were ns mg like the. wing of death
upon her bmw. I first met her in the presence
’ of the mirthful. She was indeed a creature
- t> Le worshipped—her brow was garland' r by
‘ the young years sweetest flowers—her yellow
I locks were hanging beautifully and low upon
- her Ltiicsa —aad site rn -■ cd through tut crowd
i with such a floating and unearthly grace, thaf
the bewildered gazer almost looked to seo he r
fade iway into the air, like the creation of
some pleasant drcam. She seemed cheerful
and even tay; ye I saw that her gaity was
but the mockerv of her feelings. She smil
ed. hut there was something io her smile,
' which told, this its mournful beauty was
• Lu* iho luipjhi reflection of a tear —and her
eye lids, at times, closed heavily down, as
if struggling to repress ihe tide of agony,
th it was bursting up from her heart’s secret
! tun. She looked as if she could have left the
I scene of festivity and gone out beneath the
quiet stars, and laid her forehead down upon
the fresh green earth, and poured out her
stricken soul, gush after gush, till it mingled
wiin tneetetnil fountain of life and purity.
Days and week- passed on, and that sweet
girl gave me her confiden- e, and I became to
her as a brolher. Hhe was wasting away by
disease. The smile upon hei lip was fainter,
the purple vet >s upon her . heek grew visible,
and the cadences of tier voice became daily
more w- ak uid tremulous. On a quiet even
ing in the depth ot' June, I wandered out witii
I" rtn the open air. It was then she first told
me tiie tale of her passion, and of the blight
tiiat had come down like mildew upon her life.
Love hid been a portion of her existence.—
its lendrils had been twined around her heart
m us earliest years, and when they were rent
away, they left a wound which flowed till all
the springs of her soul were blood. “I am
passing iway,” said she, “and it should be so.
The winds have gone over my life, the bright
uuds of hope and the sweet blossoms of pal*
sion are scattered down, and lie withering in
the dust. * s nd yet I cannot go down to the
tombs without a tear. It is hard to take leave
of 'he friends who love me, it is very hard to
bid farewell to these dear scenes, with which
I have held communion from childhood, and
which from day to day, have caught the color
"f my life and sympathised with its joys and
sorrows. That Lttle gr ive where I have so
Otten strayed with my buried Love, and where
at tunes, even now, the sweet tones of his
voice seem to come stealing around me till the
j oTiuis aii be< urn, s one intense and mournful
: mciody—tba pensive star, which we used to
| watch in its oariy rising and on which my fan
i cy can still picture his form looking down up
on me and beckoning ine to his own bright
[ home—every flower, and tree, and rivulet, on
which ihe early love Ims set its undying seal,
have become mare dear to me, and 1 cannot
without sigh, close tny eyes upon them fore
ver.”
* ♦ n *■
I have lately heard, that the beautiful girl of
whom I Lave spoken, is dead. The close of
1 er life was calm as the falling of quiet stream
—genii*- as tin- '■iking of the breeze that linger
i for a t me round a bed of wo it red roses, and
Hi u <tics “as ’twero from very sweetnt-ss.”
1 cannot bo 'hat earth is man’s only abtd'ng
place- It cannot be that our life is a bubble,
cast up by the ocean of Eternity to flotii i mo
; ment upon the wave and then sink into dark
j ness and nothingness. Else why is ii that the
i aspirations which leap like angels from the
temple of our hearts are forever wandering
abroad and unsatisfied! Why is it that the
cloud came over us wuh a beauty that is not of
ear h, .md then pass off and leave us io muse
upon their faded loveliness! Why is it that
the stars, winch bold their festivals around the
midnight tin one, are s-t so fai above the grasp
of o'ji limited faculties—forever mocking us
i wuh that unapproachable glory! And fv ally,
I why is it, that the bright form of hum hi be;.
jty are presented io our view and the; ~r-.
