When are we happiest? When the light of morn Wakes the young roses from their crimson rest; When cheerful sounds upon tli£ fresh wind borne, Till man resumes his wofk with Wither zest; While the bright waters leap from rock to glen : Are we the happiest then 7 Alas ! those roses ! they will fade away. And thuder tempests will deform the sky : And summer heats bid the spring buds decay, And the clear sparkling fountain may be dry ; And nothing beautiful adorn the scene, To tell what it hath been. When are we happiest ? In the crowded hall, When fortune smiles, and flat’rers bend the knee ? How soon, how very soon, such pleasures pall! How fast must falsehood’s rainbqw coloring flee ! Its poison flow’retß brave the sting of care : We are not happy there. Are we the happiest when the evening hearth Is circled with its crown of living flowers ; When goeth round the laugh of artlesa mirth, And when affection from her bright urn showers Her richest balm on the dilating heart 7 Bliss ! is it there thou grt 7 Oh, no! not there, It would be happiness Almost like heaven's if it might always be ? Those brows without one shading of distress, And wanting notning but eternity : But they are things of earth, and pass away— They must, they must decay ! Those voices must grow tremulous with years ; Those smiling brows must wear a tinge of gloom ; Those sparkling eyes be quenched in bitter tears, And, at last, close dark'v in the tomb; It happiness depends on them alone, llow quickly is it gone ? When are we happiest, then ? O, when resigned To whatsoe’er oqr cup of life may brim ; When we can know ourselves but weak and blind, Creatures of earth ; aqd trust qlone in ffitn Who giveth in his mercy, joy or Rain; On, we are happiest then. —T _ f." .■-t mirwinmm&fymu MISCELLANEOUS, The French Peasant Girl, “ ’Tis silent all but on my ear, Those well remembered echoes thrill.” After a season of festivity and dissipation, the very enjoyment of which satiates, Mons. and Madame V.llaret came down to a retired village in France, to taste for a few days the holy influence of nature and solitude. It was in the summer time, the country was pictur esque and beautiful, and they still retained a portion ot that early romance which is inhe rent in our nature, and which leads us back with a syren smile, and a charmed voice, to the pleasure which delighted our childhood, and makes us love to sit under old trees, to listen to the voice of birds, and to gather wild flowers, “ others, yet the same,” as whisk we have plucked and wreathed into chaplets; in days of yore. During on,e of their solitary rambles, they Came suddenly upon a young peasant girl, drawing water from a well, her back wps to wards them, and they paused fqr a moment to admire the simple and clasical elegance qf the young cottager. Her dark shining hair was gathered up in a low knot at the back of her head, and confined with a silver pin, which was the only ornament she wore, the rest of her dress being composed of the simplest and coarsest materials. Thqugh labor and ex posure had somewhat stained the whiteness of ier hands and arms, their beautiful symmetry could neither be altered nor concealed. She appeared thoughtful, and leaned against the side of the well in silent abstraction. Unwil ling to disturb her, they were turning into an other path, when their steps were arrested by i strain of rich and untutored melody, which vrose in a still air like enchantment ; the words vere simple, but the sweetness which thrilled 'trough every note, surpassed any thing they lad ever before heard. “ Mon Dieu /” exclaimed Madam Villaret, •it is that peasant girl; she must lie ours.— such a voice, with a little cultivation, woul iiewitch all Paris, and make our own and the girl’s fortune.” They returned and entered into conversa tion with the young villager, the result of which G. Rm NAffILSOV&BI, PJfiOTaB A PI3BI93MKR. it is not difficult to guess. Pauline Durant was poor, but innocent and happy. Sh* only felt sad when she leaked on the bowd and wasted form of her old and reflected upon her own utter helplessness, It was on the evident love which she bore this aged pa rent that Madame Villaret worked; she rep* resented to her in how short a. time, by the ex. ercise of her talents in cultivating that gift of song which God had so graciously bestowed on her, she would be enabled to raise him from a state of indigence to one of comparative affluence and comfort; and Paulino was more than half persuaded. During their interview at old Durant's <Jot. tage, there was one among tlie group who stood apart, with his arms crossed and hjs lips com. pressed. lie marked all that parsed with a stern and vigilant glance, listened to the spe cious arguments of the lady with a contemp tuqus sneer, and watched the struggle between visions of grandeur, and a deep rooted love of her own simple home and habits, which rent the breast of Pauline, in silence. He longed to speak, hut did not, he was determined she should speak for herself. She did so. and Madame triumphed in the success of her ora- tory. But the young lady turned tfway from her congratulations and promises, and for the first time perceived who had made one of the audience. “ You here, Andre.” she said, ** 0! lam sq glad!” then she paused, for there was nothing in {he expression of hiy countenance to make her glad . “ You think l have done wrong,” she eagerly continued, “ I know you do, and are angry with me.-r- But it is not too late, only say the ward, and I will nqt g©.” “ And could you stay here and share my honest poverty, after all the golden promises that have been made you?” asked the young man, doubtingly. She leant her head upon his shplder, and looked up silently into his eyes ; there was no need qf words, he felt the deep devqtiqn of that look. “ And yet, Pauline, you would like to go?” “I confess I shquld. Only think, Andre, In a few years I shquld be quite rich enough far our happiness. I will then return and live with you for eve*’!” “ Let us consent to her departure," said M, Durant; “even in the great city to which she is going, the remembernnee of a father’s love, and the lessons of a sainted mother, will shield her from harm. My grey head will not be bowed in shame and sorrow to the grave, but I shall hold it efret, and, while listening to her praises, to her triumphs, remember with priflp and glqry, it is jny daughter pf whom they speak.” With a full heart the young girl knelt down to receive her father’s blessing, a blessing not of the lips, but of the heart. Andre was mov. ed against his feelings and better judgement, to cosent, and pressing his lips upon her white brow with passionate tenderness, he said in a scarcely audible whisper; “ Pauline, no other kiss must efface this first, this pure pledge of our mutual affectjflnii, until wp meet again.” The blushipg gifl wept her vows and prom, ises upon his bosomt Three days after, the chatau of Mr. Villa ret, was again to let, arid all was silence in tfie woods and yales, through which the peasant girl’s voice was wont to echo like the singing of birds. Months rolled on,and Pauline, ii) the con. finement of a crowded city, and in the intense course of study through whicH she was oblig. ed to pass, a preliminary step to the triumphs Madame Villaret anticipated for her, found a sad change. But the thought of her old fath. er, and of the ultimate happiness she was pre paring for thqse she loved, her up ; and though the rich color faded from her cheeks, leaving it pale and wan as the face of a deni zen of the city usually is, the joyousness of her spirit remained all unquenched and un. broken. Mons. and Madame Villaret were both kind to her, but there was a worldliness n their fondness, a hollowness in their love, vhich formed a painful contrast with the aifec. onate friends she had quitted ; and she could | only regard them as instruments, by the means of which, she was to work out a path to wealth, happiness, and Andre Ludolph. The time new approached when she wg# NO. 19,
