Oli, they tell me thou art dead, Kntv Darting.
That thy smile 1 may never more behold f
Did they toll th o 1 was Katy Darling,
Or my love for thee had e’er grown cold I
Oh tboy knew not the loving
.Os the hearts of I"rin’s sons ; . .||
When a love like to thine, Katy Darling,
Is the goal to the race that lie runs*;
Oh, hear me, sweet Katy,.
For the wild flowers greet me, Katy Darling,“y?
And the love-birds are singing on each tree;,
Wilt thou never more hear me, Katy Darling!
Behold, love, Tm waiting for thee.
Fm kneeling by thy grave, Katy Darling!
This world is all a blank world to me!
jHPhh(*coiiid'atthou hear mylY’aSiug, Katy Darling,
Or, think, love I am sighing, for thee;
Oh* mettrttfKs the Rtato"Sf£ weeping,
“fTy~t&eir soft and lambent light;
And thy heart would be melting, ICat.y Darling,
Couldn’t thou see thy lone Dermot this night.
Oh, listen, sweet Katy!
For the wild flowers are sleeping, Katy Darling,
And the love-birds arc nestling in each tree ;
Wilt thou evermore hear me, Katy Darling,
Or know love, I’m kneeling by thee;
Tis useless all my weeping, Katy Darling!
But I’ll pray that thy spirit be my guide;
And that when my life is spent, Katy Darling,
They will lay me do we to rest by thy side,
Oh, a huge great grief I’m hearing,
Though I scarce can heave a sigh;
And I’ll over be dreaming, Katy Darling,
Os thy love every day till I die.
Farewell, then, sweet Katy!
For the wild flowers will blossom, Katy Darling,
And the love-birds will blossom on each tree ;
But in Heaven, 1 shall meet thee, lvaty Darling,
For there, love, thou’rt waiting for me!
Tlierc’s Good ill every Heart.
Would’st crime-stained wander back
From Vice’s dark and hideous track?
Let not a frown thy brow deform ;
’Twill add but fierceness to the storm.
Deal kindly. In that bosom dark
Still lingers Virtue’s glimmering spark.
Plead with him—*tis the nobler part—
There’s something good in every heart!
Bring to his mind the early time
Kre sin had stained his nml with crime;
When fond affection blessed his hours
And strewed his joyous path with flowers;
When sportive jest and harmless glee
Bespoke n spirit true and free.
Plead with him—’tis the nobler part—
’l’liere’s soitiething good in every heart!

industrious habits would soon render i

Wisfr a delighted smile; and even the
grave yeoman’s hr|w’ relaxed from its
habitual frown. Annie entered warmly

laid the Ifruidufitm of his fine castle in
the air, she certainly provided the ce
ment and all the lighter materials.
As their long route led them further
from thesjiabitations of men, and deeper j
and doeU'i’into the wilderness, the stern j
realities of their solitary locality became
liotirlysmore apparent to the poor emi-T
grants. Jliey began to think that theTg
had aetef! too precipitately in going so i
far hack into the woods, unacquainted
as tliev* jjjere with the usages of the conn- i
try. But repentance came too late; and :
when at length they reached their des

I prairie stretching away as far as the eye ,
could reach in front of them, and no hu- J

his friend Atkins, and his two sons, t
were a host in themselves. Having set

’a office, the extent and situation of
his new estate, he set about unyoking j
•the cattle which he had purchased, anu
securing them, while Atkins aud h:s

collected wood tor their lire. Theyoung

j a window behind; or you may have to
j pay rather dearly for your revenge.
Never let your plate leave you at an
! ordinary, as there is no knowing when
! you may see it back again.
Never refuse at any evening party to
see a lady to her carriage, as the pro!ni
hility is you’ll save a cab by her asking
you “if she cannot drop you on your
wav home ?”
Never leave your hat in the passage,
Tin less it’s a had \nwdfft r
Never fix your own prreoTlmt leave
it “entirely to the liberality “’ <>t the gen
tleman, as the chances a.e you will get
a great deal more by it.
Never sit next, to a young lady at din
ner, for site only talks, and does not care
nh -lit eating.
Never lie executioner to a will, as it
is all liability, great trouble and no
pr, Jit.
Never quarrel with your wife, as you
will oiilv.Tiavc to make it up, and to pay
f,r the reconciliation in the shape of a
box at the < )pei a, ora dinner tit Rich

ijjfrver mention you have received a
legacy, or else some impertinent follow
will be asking you to grand a dinner.
Never pay to see a balloon g > up, as
you can see it much betterhv remaining
