ROSE HILL.
“ I look’d, and thought the quiet ol' tlic scene
An emblem of the peace that yet shall be.”
Oh, Rose Hill! sacred spot!
Amid thv shaded walks of solitude
The soul of man instinctive is subdued,
Life’s cares are all forgot.
How pleasant ’tis to steal
Away from crowded streets and noisy strife,
Tob'reatlte within these wands a newer life,
And Nature’s influence fee! I
The quiet of this place
Like incense falls on the distracted soul—
The grave is liere —the place of rest! the goal
That ends life’s weary race !
Here sleep the peaceful dead
Beneath the pleasant shade of spreading trees;
Low, pealing anthems whisper in each breeze
As if by angels said.
No human sound is heard
To break the magic of the dream-like scene,
Naught but the murmur of the distant stream,
And song of some wild bird.
’Tis here that we can ft el
How pleasant ’tis to die and he at res',
To dwell eteranily with spir t- blest—
That Heaven isonly real!
O, when this life shall cease,
Here let me lie within this sylvan scene,
Deep in some solitary nook of green
There let nte rest ir peace.
THE DYING GIRL’S REMONSTRANCE.
Oh! tell me not of sunny lands, with clear and!
cloudless skies,
Where the mountains and the pillar’d domes in 1
antique glory rise,
And tell me not of purple vines, and endless Sum
mer flowers,
Those round our home will serve to light my few
remaining hours.
Start not, dear mother! do not weep, sweet sister
of my heart!
Have you not felt the summoning that bids me j
hence depart ?
Have you not read it in my eyes and on my sunk
en brow,
Although mylips have ne’er revealed, ’twas known
to tne till now ?
Speak not of hope ! 1 know full well the legend and
the song .
That picture all the charms that to the Southern
lands belong ;
And, some few months ago, when health was ting
ing cheek and eye,
It had been joy to tread their shores, but not as
now —to die ;
Home, home ! it is a blessed sound unto the wan
derer's ear,
And to the weary peasant, when the eventide is
near,
And to the mother, when her babe awaits her lov
ing kiss ;
But most unto the dying is the name of |>eace ami
bliss.
Ojicn the window, sister! let the murmuring Wes
tern breeze
Come in, to fan my languid brow from tny ances
tral trees:
Oh! think’st thou that Italia’s winds, though the
citron’s breaththev l«ar,
Could have the cheering freshness of mine own
dear native air ?
Bring me that bunch of roses! I know their lovely
lute!
By the bower I planted, when a child, those grace
ful blossoms grew ;
They have a thousand mem’ries blent with their
healthful bloom and breath,
Os the hours, when, in my childhood’s glee, I little
thought of death.
Home, home! (lie sweet word haunts me with its
gentle music now ;
I could not, from its quietness, to the stranger coun
try go.
Where could these limits so fitly rest as ’neath the
verdant sod,
By the old Church, where first I knelt in awe, be
fore niv God ?
Whose lips, so tervently, could read each solemn
funeral line,
As his, whose hand upon my bruvv impressed the
hallowed sign ?
And, more than all, in what bright land beyond
the hounding wave,
Could t hose who love me come and weep beside
my early grave!
Ay, lead me to my chamber—these weak limbs
ha ve need ol rest;
Here is the pillow that my cheek from infancy
hath press'd—
Here is the scene of childish dreams, and dreams
of elder days,
Where I took sweet visions to my heart, front the
poet’s gifted lays ;
Now, leave me to my slumber—full soon the time
will he
When I shall not need a watching eye, nor a kiss
to waken me;
Then shall I quit this well-loved spot —and not in
vain to roam
A stranger in a foreign land, hut to find a holier
home.
The following is an extract from a
work entitled “Glimpses in the moun
tains.” This extract seems to be a de
scription ala Milton, a glimpse into old
l’luto’s dominions. No one but a Quixot
ic lover would like to take such a trip :
“Come,” he cried, “the game is but
begun, the hour awaits thee.”
“Away,” l uttered, “ I will never fol
low thee.”
“ You have sworn,” he said, “ look be
fore you.”
An unspeakable glory shone over the
cloudy portal, where perdition' stood
beckoning mo with gestures not to be eva
ded.
“ Remember your oath,” shouted the
demon, and with an irresistible compul
sion I bounded on, but ever looked be
hind. I stood upon the very verge, and
the light of stars in an eclipse shone in
the eyes of her who waved on me be
j’ond. A deep gulph divided us, and,
with a groan, I leaped to cross it. The
lieauty vanished from her lorm, the gold
en bloom withered into sordid decay on
the soil around her ; she grasped me to a
bag-like bosom, and will) an earthquake
sound in her embrace, we fell sheer into
lho depths below, while loud and long
time rung into my ears, for ever falling;
“ Ha, Ha, Ha! Ha, Ha, Ha f*
* I fell : uofathornably fell. I felt the
talisman stir w ithin my bosom, and, for a
moment, saw the maddening beauty once
again; but tlic form glided info flic ser
pent, and it swelled to volumes, that in
folded me with a hideous love, and hiss
ed its venomous kisses on my lips, each
(with a bitterer horror than death. “My
Hove,” it said, “ we are one now and for
ever, eternity cannot part us.” And
wings of flame came forth upon it, and
: faster downward we hurled, downward
like lightning, or the falling star that
plunges into midnight. *
* • • its wings were poised, and
as we floated slowly by, I heard the ex
iled Naturn grumbling out his wrongs, as
he stumbled among tha ruins of forgotten
worlds. • *
* * * for there was no
more air for wing to strike, and slowly
to the end of all motion we glided on, and
or, silent, like a passing century. Light
was behind us million of ages in outworn
time, and asliier blocks of darkness lay
thickly round, fallen from the mouniains
of old Night that bore them. * *
* * * the voices spoke
and answered each other, like gusts on the
Polar sea, where the wave that rises be
fore them freezes ere its sound can make
an echo in the solitude.
First voice —What gales arc those, so black and
grim ?
W liat sounds so dismal, deep and
dim?
Second voice —The gates of the eternal Hell:—
Within, the smothering heartquake’s
swell!
First voice. —Those yawning archways, wreathed
will, thunder,
Where rest their dark foundations
under?
Second voice • —Darker than death their pillars
lie:—
They sink into eternity
First voice. — Open the gates, O King Despair!
Twoweaiy Pilgrims in would fare.
Second voice. —Sjreak, that their passport may he
sure.
First voice. —Perdition and her paramour!
Third voice. — o|x n the gates and welcome in!
All. — IFclcoine to sorrow and to sin !
The bolted thunder unfolded around
the lofiy porches, the gates swung back
with a sound like the last sigh of hope
from a broken heart; and closed behind
us like the first moaning of despair. An
immeasurable horizon met my eyes; a
gloom hung over all, calm, dead—save
j when, at fits, a sobbing, as of fruitless as
pirations, mourned across the stillness.—
.There were trees, but their buds drop
ped aslliey unfolded—plants whereon ev
er sprung the germs of glorious blooms,
but they ifell shrivelling before they blew,
and the sad sighing airs swept their ruins
to and fro. There were rivers that did
not How, curling their stagnant reaches
round rocks and bank's that glistened with
slime of serpents, whose eyes leered a-
mongst them as they twined. I saw a
great sea, whose waves stood still, and i
sails were spread on it, clinging to the
masts, against which the mariners leaned
gazing lorever with sunken eyes into tire
solemn hopeless sky. Far beyond their
prows there lay a shore whereon a sunlight
shone, revealing fields as green as earth,
and the glimmering of brooks ran through
them. Some had gone nigh, by no wind,
for there was none, but a groaning whirl
pool near the shore l hat sucked them on,
and devoured them ; J saw them cast up
in ruins, yet alive, and welteiing among
the festering shore, where snakes coiled
among their limbs and nestled, gorging
cortoptions, in their bosoms.
“ Come to our rest,” said my dragon
companion. “ Behold our paradise—we
shall be one fiir ever.”
In her infernal folds, firm as the em
brace of fate, she bore me to the sluggish
shore. We plunged into the flood, and
slowly forward we moved through that
clammy deep. My eyes rested on the
sunny spot fur belbrc us, and there again,
standing with my life in hers, was she
whom 1 saw in the vision of departed life.
O that 1 might reach that shore! O,
that amidst the eternal desolation 1 might
even stand still to gaze upon her, though
tor ever distant as despair. Hell would
be heaven with thee before me, dear im
age, whose faintest smile, whose lightest
sigh 1 would not give to leave these infa
mies, it they were mine. There gathered
in my ear a low, unending groan, the sti
lling pant of agonies, the inurlicular voice
of hell uttering her hymn of ruin. It was
the \vliirlp>ol sounding on before us,
where, round and round, I saw the voya
gers go, who came like rr.e, and hope was
blotted from their stony eyes as they sank
dumb and palsied down. Swiftly 1 sped
within the fatal circle, and, and at every
lessening turn, I saw her with the fresh
hue of the living, grassy world, I never
more should treat!, upon her cheek ; and
in her eyes the light i thought so kindred
with my heart. Still round and round—
nearer and nearer the abyss—and there
she stands. Oh, that dull unpitying roar,
the vortex closes—dear one—ah, for ever
farewell ! * *
Humming, humming, flashing, wailing,
glimmering lurid fire, whirling, sinking,
pouring, lamenting, thundering, leaping,
crashing, groaning, down, down fir ever.
“Accursed serpent,” I groaned, “ we
must kill each other, or one shall die ; for
even in Tartarus 1 must bo free.”
Again the mockery of .beauty lighted
in her eyes, and her lips approached me :
“ Beloved,” she said, “ Hell is shallow,
but come with me where my home is
deeper than hell.”
“ By the depth then,” said I, in fury,
“ we shall go with stricter embraces ; for
hate is faithful as love ; and deadlier than
death and hell 1 hate thee.”
She clung like despair, but mine was
equal, and 1 clasped her throat till the fire
spun from her eyes mingling with the falls
of l’hlegethon that bowled around us.—
I dug into her snaky entrails with my
limbs, and her false vigour faded in my
crushing clasp like a" leaf in October,
when the frost clips the tree. Slack and
dumb, she fell from my arms, and 1
spurned her carcase with mv feet away
into the rolling thunder floods below.
‘ I was terribly put out,’ as the fellow
said after being kicked out of doors.
the lady of the harem.
The lady of the harem, couched grace
fully ou a lichPersian carpel,strewn with,
soft pillowy cushions, is as rich a picture
as admiration ever gazed on. Her eyes,
if not as dangerous to the heart as those
of our country, where the sunshine of in
tellect gleams through, a heaven of blue,
are, nevertheless, periect in their kind—
and at least as dangerous to the senses.
Languid, yet lull, brimful of life; dark,
yet very lustrous; liquid, yet clear as
stars; they arc compared by their "poets
to the shape of the almond, and the bright
timid ness of the gazelle’s. r ihe lace is
delicately oval, and its shape is set off by
the rich red and purple and golden turban,
the most becoming headdress in the world.
The long, black silken tresses are braided
from the forehead, and hang wavily on
each side of the face; behind they fall in
a glossy cataract, spaikling with little!
golden drops, such as might have glitter
ed on Dauae when she came forth from
her shower-bath. A light tunic of pink
or pale blue crape is covered with a long
silk robe, open at the bosom, ana button
ed thence downward to the delicately i
slippered little feet, that peep daintily
from beneath the full silken trousers
Round the loins, rather than round the
waist, a cachmere shawl is loosely wrapt
as a girdle, aud an embroidered jacket,
or a large silk robe, with loose open sleeves
complete the costume. Nor is the water
pipe, with its long variegated serpent, and
its jewelled mouth-piece, any detraction
from the portrait. Picture to yourself one
of Eve’s brightest daughters, in Eve’s own
loving land. The woman-dealer has
found among the mountains that per lec
ithin in living woman which Praxiteles
scarcely realized, when inspired fancy
wrought out its ideal in marble. Silken
scarfs, as richly coloured and as airy as
the rainbow, wreathe her round, from the
snowy brow to the finely rounded limbs,
half buried in billowy cushions; the atti
tude is the very poetry of repose, languid,
it may he, hut glowing life is thrilling be
neath that flower-soli exterior, from the
varying cheek and Hashing eye, to the hen
| na-dyed taper fingers that capriciously
play with the rosary of beads. The blaze
of sunshine is round her kiosk, but she sits
in the softened shadow so dear to the
painter’s eye. And so she dreams away
the warm hours in such a calm of thought
within, and sight or sound without, that
she almost starts when the gold fish
gleams in the fountain, or tlie breeze-ruf
fled roses shed blossoms ou her bosom.—
