And from her fortunes prophesied The brightness of my own. He too had friends—his deep distress They pitied and deplored. And said that woman’s smile should bless Once more his Hearth and hoard ; That he should seek the busy throng, And mark the young and fair, Aud let his childrcu know, e’re loug, Another mother’s care. Oil, sad exchange'—the heart I brought W as full of joy and youth. Warm, open, in its slightest thought, And single in its truth : While his, by so-row w orn and tried. One vision only nursed.

The old domestics mutely chide, 1 meet their mournful look, If I displace or cast aside A picture, vase, or book ; Though mistress of this noble fauc, They gaze on tne in dread, As one who lightly dares profaue The relics of the dead. Her kindred gather rouud our hearth, And oft some guest accost With records of the grace and worth Of her. the loved, the lost; Then start, and pause, and glance arouud. If 1 perchance drew near, As though they kindly feared to wound My listening jeah us car. Her children—I could love them well, Might 1 their trust secure, But tuy caresses they repel, Or passively endure: And if I venture to reprove, They trembling shun my gaze, Or murmur of the tender love They knew in happier days. Yet ills like these I well could brook. If he, my loved, my own— Rejoiced me with one happy look, Ot one endearing tone ; But no, his lost oue ever seems His heart and thoughts to claim. And oft he starts from feverish dreams. And widely breathes her uame. Daily he haste to solitude. And o’er her potrait sighs ; That potrait ouce by stealth I view’d, I marked the dazzling eyes. The golden locks, the lip of rose, The cheek of softer bloom ; My rival smiled upon my woes, Aud mocked me from the tomb! Yet my complaints must fruitless be : The world esteems ine bless’d. Of power, aud poinp, aud luxury. Triumphantly possess'd ; And I must smile with feelings torn, And loud affections check’d, Aud yield my girlhood’s sunny morn To coldness and neglect. Yet to the youthful and the fair, This warning 1 impart: If thoucausi humbly stoop to share A sad and widow’d heart, Know that each trial I have proved, Thou also must sustain— He who has warmly, truly luted, Cati never love again.

Length of Days.—A memoir addressed to the Academy of Sciences atMunich, by Dr. Tenzen, con tains the following notice of the length of days in the principal^ cities of Europe. At Berlin and London, the longest day has sixteen and a half hours. At Stockholm and Upsal, the longest has eighteen and a half hours, and the shortest five and a half. At Ham burg, Dantzic, and Stettin, the longest day has seven teen hours, and the shortest seven. At St. Petersburg and Tobolsk, the longest has nineteen, and the short est five hours. At Tornea in Finland, the longest day has twenty-one hours and a half, and th*? shortest two and a half. At Wardorbns, in Norw’aj’, the day lasts from the twenty-first of May to the twenty-second of July, without interruption; and in Spitzbcrgcn is the longest three mouths and a half. tastes, dispositions and movements purpose of examining causes and comparing effects— * convent of St. Margaret s, and relumed home.

Energy of Character.—Energy of character is the philosopher’s stone of this life, aiid should be engraved upon every heart; it is that which has peo pled the temple of fame, that which has filled the his toric page with great names, and the civil and milita ry world ; that which has brought a race from bar barism, drawn tlte veil front science, and developed the wondrous powers of nature, it makes men great anil makes men rich. First or last it brings success. Without it Webster would have been a New Hamp shire lawyer, Thomas Ewing a buck eye salt boiler, Franklin a journeyman printer. Without it Demos thenes would have stammered on to his grave, and Cinrinnntus died a common soldier; Shakspeare would have been shot for poaching, Pope died selling tape, Roscoe lived selling beer, and Napoleon gone out of the world a Corsican bully. With it each one has not only done much for Itis day and generation. Influence ofClimateuton Man.—The effects of malaria on the range of human life may he illustra ted by a few facts. Al.de Warville says that lie lias seen in the dry, healthy paris of America, women of sixty or seventy y ears of age with an air of freshness, and sparkling with health; and that in many places one person in nine attains the age of oiuhty years; j was o! while on the low island <>f OerJon, M. Moheatt states, that there are not more than five or six octogenarians in fourteen thousand inhabitant'. The limits of life in Switzerland is placed by M. de Moivre at eighty- six years; while in Georgia it is stated, that white fe males born there very seldom attain the age of forty, and men rarely that of fifty years. Ont of a thousand persons born at Vienna, half of them do not live to be two years of age; w hilst in the province of Vand, in Switzerland, five hundred out of 1000 persons born there live to he lorty-one years old. At Petersburgh, Virginia, it is said, that no white person born there has ever attained the usual middle age, and then the body appears quite decripid anil worn down, although no severe sickness had been endured; and on the W. coast of Africa, while children born there, seldom at tain ten years of age ; this is strongly contrasted w ith the health of the people of the capital of Norway, where there is but one physician among 30,000 in habitants. Tlte preceding remarks sufficiently de monstrate tbe effects of climate and soil even on man, w ho, of all animals, is best capable of defending himself against tlte consequences of deleterious ele ments ; for it cannot be denied, that in some coun- * A celebrated warrior, and Constable of France in tbe 14lli century. tz iska was a General of Bohemia, and having Rained many victories over the Emperor Siefiismiind. he was seiz- i | )n , rauc |, f„ r t|,<- world in the past llie present ed with plague. an<i directed his skin lo he tanned, after Ins j • * 1 • death, and used as a drum head, to animate his soldiers in i 1 1 * battle.
