Oh ! lady, buv these budding flow’rs, For I am sad, and wet, and weary; I gather’d t hem ere break of day, When all was lonely, still, and dreary; And long I’ve sought to sell them here, To pill )huso clothes and food and dwelling. For valor's wretched orphan girls; Poor me and my young sister Ellen. Ah ! those who tread life’s thornless way,” In fortune’s golden sunshine basking; May deem my wants require no aid, Because my lips are mute, unasking, They have no heart for woes like mine; Each word, each look, is cold —repelling, Yet once a crowd offlatt’rers fawned. And fortune smil’d on me and Ellen. Oh ! buy my fiow’rs, they’re fair and fresh As mine and morning’s tears could keep them ! To-morrow’s sun shall see them dead, And I shall scarcely live to weep them ! Yet this sweet bud, if nursed with care, Soon into tidiness would he swelling, And nurtur’d by some gen’rous hand, So might my little sister Ellen. She’s sleeping in the hallow tree, Her only home—its leaves her bedding; And I’ve no food to carry there, To soothe the tears she will be shedding-. O! that those mourner’s tears which fall; a That bell which heavily 13 knelling, And that deep grave were meant for me, And my poor little sister Elkn. When w’e in silence are laid down, In life’s last fearless blessed, sleeping, No tears will fall upon our grave, Save those of pitying Heaven’s own weeping. Unknown we’ve lived nnknown must die, No tongue th 1 mournful tale bn telling, Os two young broken hearted girls— Poor Mary and her sister Ellen. No one has bought of me to day, And night is now the town o’shading, And I, like these poor droopingflowers, Unnoticed and unwept am fading; My soul is struggling to be free—, It loathes its wrutehed earthly dwelling ! y limbs refuse to hear their load— Oh God ! protect lone orphan Ellen.

From the correspondence of - the Empress Josephine, Just publish-<: in P by the respectable house of Dido!, and pic . announced as authentic by her daughter, x- Queen Hortense, we extract the fill!:.winv in teresting letters. It may t; ..irv to pre mise, t! previous to the divorce ami re-m : riage of the Emperor, a tone <■•• the west fami liar tenderness was established m < .s pondence with Josephine. Napoli >n’s are such as would have been write n b bourgois of Paris to hi wife. The following is addressed by Josephine to the Emperor; -tx weeks after his marriage with Mart i Louisa, in March 1810, assuming for the time the lan guage of respect: “Navarre April 19, 1810. “ Sire —My son has transmitted to me your Majesty’s sanction to my return to Maimaison, and to a grant ofthe sum indispensable for the reparation of the Chateau of Navarie. This double concession, Sire, in some degree rea sures me from misgivings caused by your Ma jesty’s silence. I was apprehensive of being entirely forgotten. lam undeceived ; and therefere less unhappy; or rather as happy as my position will admit, f owards the end of the month, l shall go to Mai liaison, since your Majesty sees no objection; but I should not so soon profit by your gracious permission did not the state of this house demand repairs essential to my health and of my household. I shall remain but a short‘time at Maimaison, and afterwards visit some bathing place. But during my sojourn at Maimaison your Majesty may be assured that I shall live as secluded as if a thousand leagues fiom Paris. I have made a great sacrifice, Sire, and 1 become every day i more conscious of its extent. But it is a sac rifiice that duty requires should be complete. Your Majesty’s happiness shall remain undis turbed by an expression of my affliction. My prayers for your Majesty’s happiness are unceasing; perhaps I sometimes add a hope for some future meeting; hut be assured, Sire, that I will respect to the utmost, tho sac redness of yoar present position. Satisfied with the ecn- timents of which I was formerly the object. I will seek no further proof of your regard. ‘•The only favor, therefore, for which I shall importune your Majesty, is some occassional mark of rememberar.ee, calculated to satisfy myself, and Ihosc around me, that your esteem and regard are not wholly withdrawn. I shall thus become less miserable, without endanger ing that which ia the first object of my life—your Majesty’s comfort and happiness. JOSEPHINE.” Rcruv. 111 the following letter the tutoiement (or uso of the second person so essential in the origin al to the affectionate intimacy implied in tho j style,) can only be expressed in English by colloqual familarity : “I have received, dearest, your letter of (ha I9th.—lt is written in a bad style. I am not changed—people of my sort n ver alter. 1 know not what Eugene may have told you. I did not write to you because I received no let ter, and was anxious to do every thing you seemed to wish. “ I am giacUyou arc going to Malmaison, and that you are pleased. I shall always bo glad when you write to me and always answer your letters. I will say no more till you have compared the lone of this letter with \ our own. Read both—and judge from them which is the better friend of the two ! “Good bye, dearest. Be well, be happy, and remove all things unjust towards us both, “NAPOLEON.” RLPLY. “A thousand thousand thanks for your recol lection ! Sly son has just brought me your letter. With w hat eagerness I read it ! and I yet was very slow; for not a word in it ui brought teais into my eyes. But they w ro tears of joy! My whole heart is mine again— such as it has ever been, such as it w ill ever be. There are sentiments which form one’s exis tence, and end only with our lives—l am griev ed that my letter offended you. I cannot call to mind its exact tenor; hut I know that the vexation arising from silence produced a painful feeling in my mind. I wrote to you gd quiting Malmaison, and a thousand times since have longed to write again. But I felt consci ous of the motives of your silence, and feared to be importunate. Your letter was balm to my soul !Be happy—happy as you deserve! My whole heart expresses itself in these few words. 1 You have just awarded me a share in your happi j ness; nothing—nothing can be so gratifying aa a proof of your reme brance. Farewell, desr est (7 non amt.) — I thank you again, with unal terable affection. “JOSEPHINE.” In our opinion, these letters, being authentic, contain the value of a whole romance.— Ed. erf \ Court Journal.
