Not for earth! thou hast not long to stay! Poor dying sufferer, wasting in decay, Must thy young spirit droop its tired wing Just in the freshness of life’s opening spring ? Say, wert thou made like some bright early flower, Whose bloom and fragrance live but for an hour, Thus in the morn of thy unfolding day To bow thy head and sink in death away ! Yes, stricken victim! thou art bending low Beneath the dread destroyer’s cruel blow. That cankered cheek and faded brow betray The spoiler’s trtumph o’er his tender prey; Those withered charms the poisonous blight reveal, And mark tho impress of Consumption’s seal. Yet lift thy soul—let faith dispel the gloom, Thine be the hopes that look beyond the tomb. The hand that smites, inflicts the stroke in love, The voice that calls, breathes mercy from above. Thou wert not made those angry blasts to bear, Which beat around the pilgrim’s pathway here. Far past the vale there lies a peaceful shore, Where storms and tompests break and rage no more. Then silent bow and meekly kiss the rod— Thy home is heaven and thy father God. Calm all thy fears—serene thine hour await, The grave is not thy prison, but the gate Which lcadeth up to realms of light on high Where joys unfading blossom in the sky, Transplanted there in that unclouded clime, Safe from the sorrows, griefs, and woes of time. Thy sainted spirit washed from every’ stain Os earthly guile, and freed from every pain, Forever happy and supremely blest. Will sweetly sleep in Heaven’s eternal rest. L. TO MISS MARY W * * * * * 9 Around the spot from whence the rose hath fled Lingers the fragrance that is sweetly shed, E'en thus our hearts thy gentle influence own, Though from our midst, thy smile—thy song hath gone. Lady, farewell! and may it still be given, In future years thy’ soul to keep as now, Pure—spotless—110 l till thy God in Heaven, With bliss enrapturing shall encrown thy brow. V. SORlltHllflllisis@a. The Steamer Europa, Capt. Lott, with twelve days later from all parts of Europe, arrived at Halifax at half past ten, on the 19th inst. The Sews, its effect on Trade , tyc. —Under the in fluence of more favorable advices from India, and the existing lull in the excitement of Continental politics, trade, in nearly every department, is be ginning to assume a more cheerful aspect. There is still an uneasy feeling respecting the threatened hostilities in the north of Europe, but since the abrupt and decisive termination of the conflict between Sardinia and Austria, the complete pros tration of Charles Albert, one of the most serious obstacles to a satisfactory adjustment of Conti nental difficulties, seems to have been overcome, and could the Danish quarrel be disposed of, ybich unfortunately there is no prospect of, noth ing material would stand in the way of permanent prosperity in commercial affairs.

The commercial monetary, and warlike intelli gence brought by the last overland mail is re garded in England as very satisfactory. England . —Parliament adjourned for the Easter recess, and met again on the Gth inst. The two main objects which have divided its attention have been the Navigation Bill and the Rate in Aid Bill for Ireland, which latter has breathed out into a general debate on the policy to be pursued toward that country. It will be seen that some important modifications have been made in the Navigation Bill. ° The revenue returns for the financial year and quarter ending on the sth instant show & continu ous, though not a very great improvement in the customs revenue. There is an increase of .£l,- 169,554, as compared with the previous year. In the excise department, there’s an increase of .£569,632. In all other branches of the ordinary revenue there is a decrease, the most considerable item being one of £ 719,531 upon stamps. The excess of increase over decrease, of the total rev enue of the year, is £ 867,299. iiil&glisi, The Governor of Nevv-York has but <£Boo per annum; yet he rules a territory trebble in size to that of the West Indies. “ Well, Miss,” said a knight of the birchin rod, “can you decline a kiss?” “Yes, sir,” said the girl, dropping a perplexed curtsey, “ but I had rather not.” “ W ife, do you perceive that the Governor has signed the general manufacturing bill?” “Ob goodness! then we shall have generals a plenty if they are to be manufactured here !” “ Is this the place for indignant widows and aw ful children 4 ” enquired Mrs. Malaprop of a friend, when passing two buildings appropriated to indi gent widows and orphan children. A celebrated wit was asked why he did not marry a young lady to whom he was attached. “ I know not,” replied he* “except the regard we have for one another.” Dialogue. —“Good morning neighbor Snooks; a fine rain we have had.” “Yes, neighbor, delightful.” “If it comes warm after this we shall have every thing starting out of the ground directly.” “Heaven forbid—l have two wives under it.” Descriptive. —A young dandy, who sported an enormous mustache, asked a young lady what she thought of his looks. “ Why,” said she “ you look as if you had swallowed a squirrel, and left the tail sticking out of your mouth.” Rather Severe. —An empty coxcomb, after hav ing engrossed the attention of a company for some time, with himself and his petty alliances, observed to Dr. Parr that he could never go out without catching cold in hisjiead. 44 No wonder,” said the doctor pettishly, 44 you always go out without any thing in it.” A sailor, calling upon a Liverpool goldsmith, asked him what might be the value of an ingot of gold as big as his arm. The shopkeeper beckoned him in a back room, and primed him with grog. He then asked to see the ingot. 44 Oh,” said Jack, 44 1 haven’t got it yet, but I’m going to Calaforny, and I would like to know the value of such a lump before I start.” The jeweller started him out of the shop. A Mean Man. —We have heard of mean men in our day, but a correspondent of the St. Louis Reville mentions one, to whom must be yielded the palm : . 44 Talk about mean men ! Why, there’s that Bill Tompson, he’s the meanest man I ever heard on !” (Bill was a constable there) 44 Why don’t you think he had an execution against me for a little matter of groceries, and he came out and levelled on my old ’oman’s ducks, and he wanted me to drive ’em for him, and I told him to ketch ’em himself; and he chased ’em round and round the house, and every time he’d set down and wring its head off, and charge mileage /” Punctilious of Name.— A corporal in one of the regiments in Mexico, when the roll was being called refused to answer to the flame of “Eben ezer Mead.” The Officer repeated the call. “Is Ebenezer Mead on the ground?” said the indig nant official. “ Eben Mead is here,” quoth the corporal. “ Why dont you answer, you rascal. Ebenezer Mead.—“My name is simply Eben Mead.” The “ Ebenezer” was repeated again in a tone like a small northwester. 44 Captain,” quoth the rampant corporal, “you call me Eben ezer. Yonr name is Peter Read; would you re spond if you were called Petersneezer Read ? He was taken to the guard-house, tried tor contempt and deprived of his warrent. Lowell Courier. Anecdote for Factors and Consignors.— The West Tennessee Whig tells a story of a farmer in that part of the state, who, to make a speculatum, put a large stone in one of his hogsheads of tobacco, and forwarded it to his commission merchant a New-Orleans, directing his merchant there to send him.a barrel of sugar. By accident or ot er\\ise, the stone was discovered. The merchant oo the stone from the tobacco and put it into the barrel of sugar before be weighed it, put on the head and sent it back to the tobacco man in course of time, and did’nt say a word about the stone. But he found it before he had used up more than half of the sugar. He got four cents and bought it back at eight, without daring to exercise the poor privilege of grumbling at the one hun dred per cent advance price on the re-purchase. Dishonesty is not always 44 the best policy.” Mrs. Harris a real Personage . —Jenny Lind is to be married at last—not a mere press marriage —for she has been given away” by nearly every editor in the kingdom ; but a real marriage, to be celebrated by wedding-cake, favors, and ever} 7 possible happiness. The name of the future hus band is to be a Mr. Harris, so that the long talk ed-of myth—the original Mysterious Lady —the female Frankenstein , that our dearly beloved and much libelled Mrs. Gamp created for her own fu ture torment —wall be proved to be no fable, but a real existent beautiful being. Who in the name of all extravagance, could possibly have guessed that the Swedish Nightingale would eventually turn out to be Mrs. Harris? A friend of ours who resided in North Pearl street, went a fishing the other day, and among other things that he hauled in was a large sized turtle. To enjoy the surprise of his servant girl he placed it in her bed-room. The next morning, the first thing that bounced into the breakfast room was Biddy, with the exclamation of 44 Be Jabers, I’ve got the divil.” “ What divil?” en quired the head of the house, feigning surprise.— “ The bull that has been ateing the chil den for the last month.” As this is anew name for the domesticated assassin, we thought w’e would 44 let it out.” Bull bed-bug 44 is good/’ Knickerbocker . A Shrewd Reply. —A young friend ot ours was undergoing an examination for admission to the bar. Judge S had pushed his questions pretty closely, but the candidate was never at fault. Finally, the Judge pounced upon him as follows: 44 Suppose that a Boston importer should come to you with a case like this”—and here the Judge went on to state one of the most compli cated questions that arise in regard to marine in surance. It was a poser. Our friend, intending to practice in the country, was not “posted up” on this topic. But he was a Yankee, and he never was at a loss for an answer. So soon as the Judge had summed up his case, and closed off with the inquiry, “ What would you say ? ” Our friend promptly replied, “I should tall him to sit down, sir, until I could look at my books.” “ The best thing you could do—the very thing you ought to do,” rejoined the Judge, 44 You are admitted sir.” We heard a good anecdote of Booth, the trage dian, the other day, which we do not remember to have seen in print. He was playing in his fa vorite character, Richard. In the play as brought upon the stage, amesseugcr comes in and says : 44 My Leige, the Duke of Buckingham is taken.” “Off* with his head !—So much for Bucking ham,” replies Richard. In this case the messenger rushed in breathless and exclaimed : 44 My Leige, the Duke of Buckingham is taken —and we've cut off his head /” Booth without being at all disconcerted at this vile blunder, which destroyed a fine passage in the play, coolly took the messenger by the ear, led him towards the footlights, and replied : “ Well doue thou good and faithful servant — this be thy reward”—saying which he applied his boot to the unfortunate wight with such vigor as to send him half across the stage. How to make Sleep Refreshing. —1. Take suffi cient exercise in the open air, during the day. 2. Eat light suppers always two hours before retiring. 3. Avoid tea and coffee and all unnatural stim ulants.. 4. Retire early. Animals, except those that prowl all night, retire to rest soon after the sun goes down. The early hours ot sleep are the most sweet and refreshing. 5. Eschew feather beds ; sleep on hair or cot ton mattrasses, with a light covering of bed clothes. 6. Be sure and have your room well ventilated. It is well known that “the Duke of Wellington, now a hale old man, is accustomed to sleep on a hard narrow pallet. It is reported that the Duke justifies the narrowness of his resting place, on the plea that when a man wishes to turn, it is high time to turn out. We seldom hear the labo rious peasant complain of restless nights. The indolent, pampered epicures, or the man who overtasks his brain and denies himself bodily ex ercise, is liable to sleeplessness. Water Cure Journal. Canadian Affairs.— The first steps towards call- a National Convention, were taken last night at a preliminary meeting held at Orr s hotel in this city. About thirty-five persons were present. Much discussion took place in relation to the name that should be given the intended associa tion. It was at length determined to call it the British League. A warm debate is expected in the House of Assembly to-night, in relation to the late discus sions on the rebellion losses in the House of Com mons.
