Through such a floWory path does this disease lead ii victims ; they feel that they are wasting a way and yet tltcy suffer no pain. Before the student there lay an open book over which ho had been poring, ■and by its aide a manuscript of fugitive poetty, from which he had promised read a few lines to Mary, whtse needle work was thrown aside to hear it, when they were interrupted by tho 6ccnc which wo have just delineated. Calming herself, Mary now requested bimto proceed,.when taking up the MS he inquired what subject would please her beat; to which she replied, *1 have been walking this evening, and have •een a beautiful child smiling, and crow ing with delight ; can you not read me m passage descriptive of such a pleasing night/ %- • I will endeavor to please you/ said lie, and immediately lie turned over the loaves until having found the right place read in a weak voice, the following words ; . What is death? It cannot be an eter nal sleep, for why is there implanted i the bosom of man, a feeling that this life is not the only one, which he is destin ed to share ? Why that insatiate de- to be remembered by his fellow man ? We see, in the lowest of our race, a disposition to do something, which shall perpetuate their name after death. This is their mainspring of ac tion, and whether the principle is found the cottager or nobleman,it is the same. Some pltilosophets have cheated them selves with the hope that ‘ death is an eternal sleep/ but the sad reality is ipened to tbeir view; on the appear ance of the conqueror of mankind, mid they fell, when too late, that they have followed a phantom, which has led them among bogs and marshes, from which there is no escape. But were there no thing to inflict a pang as we leave this life, it would be no trial to die would leave it with joy and think selves fortunatp in quitting a cold and heartless world, but where there woven round our hearts ties that bind THE FATHER TO HIS MOTHERLESS CHILDREN.

I think such pastimes agree with you, and l will be not to let you rest. I have almost driven away my gloomy thoughts, and hope my fears may all prove ground less, for you know that when you grad uate, we ate lo.be married, and I do hot wish you to bp snatched away from roe by such an untimely death.’ But Mary/ observed William, * I feel a restlessness for which 1 cannot account.

It may* be an affection of the mind, brought by .close application to books ; but it does not become us to murmur at the dispensations of Providence, and if it seem fit,'and good-in the sight of the Supreme Being to take me away from you, do not repine at such a blow, but remember that in another world wo will meet again.

Are you thep. sensible that death has fixed his hand upon you ? Will you thus inflict pangs He was here interrupted by the grief of his companion, who implored him to cease, when laying aside the MS, lie placed his hand in that of Mary, and with eyes that glistened with tears of happy joy ; be gazed on her in whorrt he reposed all bis hopes of earthly happiness, and addressed her in a fal tering voice with feelings which almost choked his utterance. •* Mary now you are doubly dear to I feel that your love is a solace in affection, but calm yourself, and do not thus give way to unavailing grief. They remained together until tho flickening lights warned them that it*was growing late, when parting they sought their respective chambers, but repose came not to them until a fervent prayer had ascended for their mutual safety. The next morning when Mary appear ed at the breakfast table her eyes were red with weeping, end William’r looks were changed from their unnatural glow to the paleness, which the consumptive wears. A kind inquiry from Mary i ■ regard to the state of his health, was an swered in such a feeble voice, that she knew he must be worse. It w mended by Mary, that they should take morning walk, as the fresh ait might contribute to the restoration of his health, In accordance with this they now went forth, his form supported by the fair girl, and with faltering steps they reach romantic spot, where a large moss co vered rock afforded . a natural seat, and the gayest flowers lent their fragrancoto the scene, while from tree and bush were heard the notes of songster birds, as they carolled their joy at the return of spring. Seated here, the beauty of the scene is admired in silence until William observed, while a dry cough impeded his utterance, 4 Mary you know that ! am not long for earth, the pale ness of my cheek tells me, that a few more days will have measured ray des- ny.
