POETRY.
THE HAPPIEST TIME.
BY M. A. BROWNE.
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.

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

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#
