O, this is the beautiful month of May, Tin-season of birds and of (lowers; rite young and the lovely are out and awav, Mid the up-springing grass and the blossoms at play; Anti many a heart will be happy 10-dav, In this beautiful region of ours, Sweet April, the frail,the capriciously bl ight, Hath lassed like the lovely away, Yet we momn not her absence, for swift as her flight Sprang forth her youngsister,an angel of light, And fair ns a sunbeam that dazzles the sight, Is beautiful, beautiful Mny. What scenes of delight, what sweet visions she brings Ol freshness, of gladness, tint! mirth, Os lair sunny glades where the buttercup springs, Os cool gushing fountains, of rose-tinted wings, Os birds, bees, and blossoms, all beautiful things, Whose brightness rejoices the earth. How fair is the landscape ! o’er hill-top and glade, What swift varying colors are rolled— The shadow now sunshine, the sunshine now shade ; Their light-shifting lutes for the green earth have made A garment resplendent with dew-gems o'er laid— A light-woven tissue of gold ! O yes ! lovely May, the enchantingly fair, Is here with her beams and iter flowers’, Their rainbow-like garments the blossoms now wear, And nil in lileir health-giving odors may share, For the breath of their sweetness is out on the air, Those childien of sunbeams and showers. The fragrant magnolia in loveliness dressed, The lilac’s more delicate line. The violet half opening its aznre-hued vest, Just kissed by a sunbeam, its innocent guest, The light -floating cltmdsles like spirits at rest, All pictured in motionless hue— These brighten the landscape, and softlv un roll Their splendors by land and by sea ; They steal o’er the heart with a magic control, That lightens the bosom anJ freshens the soul — O! this is the charm that enhances the whole, And makes them so lovely to me. Row sweet, witen the month's in the flush of its pi ime, To hear, as we wander alone, .Some bird’s sudden song from the sweet scented lime, And catch the low gush of its exquisile chime, And set it to music and turn it to rhyme, \\ 1 1It a spirit as light as its own. And sweet to recline ’ueath the emerald robed trees, Where fairy-like footsteps have trod. With the lull of the waters, the hum of the bees. Mi lting into the spirit delicious degrees Os exquisite solim-ss! in moments like these, I have walked with the angels of God. j Sweet season of love, when tire fairy queen trips At eve through the star-lighted grove, Wliat vuws are now breathed where it.e hon ey-bee sips! What cheeks, whose bright beauties the roses eclipse, Are crimsoned with blushes! what rose-tinted lips Are moist witli the kisses of love! Yet, loveliest of months! with die praises I sing, Thv gloties are passing away With tile dew from the blossom, die bird on the wing, Yet round thee a garland poetic I fling. Sweet sister of April! young child of the spring! 0 beautiful, beautiful May!

The wind sounded serdv a< it moaned among the bare branches of the trees, and died away in distant murmurs. A white frost had (alien the night tielore and nip ped leaf and flow ret. The sky looked like lead, and nnv and then a cloud, fleecy and white as if laden with snows drifted in mid air. Blue lipped, shiver ing little children, w it|i satchels and hooks, hurried by to school or stopped for a tew moments at the street corners. ‘I had taken my drawing pencils and portfolio, and seated myself before the blazing fire. When the wind rattled the casement, I drew my viseltc closer about me, and thanked God for a ‘comfortable shelter from the inclemency of the north ern blast. A piece of bristol board was beneath my pencil. Scene after scene grew beneath its touches. Rut all was dreary. A frozen mill, an ice-bound tree, a snow storm, a man striving to hold his cloak on in the blast—these were the prominent features in my pencil sketches, I could not be cheerful, do what I might. / con hi not forget the dreary aspect of Nature without. 1 threw aside the pencil and wheeled my chair nearer the fire. The e./nis gjowed almost fiercely in the grate, and l began tracing pictures and images among them. The door opened and a strong blast swept through. 1 looked up ami saw a cloaked figure —a tall, noble and coni i mantling person. He Abrew a.ide his traveling cap—unclasped the steel buck les confining his mantle in (root, and unde Roger sat down beside me to thaw out before the genial blaze his stiffened fin gers. As he sal tl.pre, his deep olive com plexion became almost scarlet in line.— His keen black eye rested musingly upon the coals. Was he too tracing imagery among them? 1 1 might lie, but it was not probable. My unde liaftl little imagina tion, and was never, to mv knowledge, fanciful, It was, more probably, that he was weiuhitig in his mind some East /n ----dia speculation, for all his latter lilt’ had been spent there. It was to its torrid cli mate that he owed his nine complexion, quick flashing eye, ami susceptibility to cold. The fire was peculiarh agreeable to him. Witen lie went into the I rig id atmospheie w iiliooi, Ins broad stoiii per son shook like an aspen, and lie clasped ami drew his cloak closer, and still closer about him. He was a bachelor, one nearly fifty veins old. Hi- hair was sprinkled with grey, but it looked hand some nevertheless; indeed all who looked upon mv uncle called him even at that age, a fine looking man. I had often times puzzle.l my brain to discover why I he had all Iris lile remained matchless ; I why one, with his love of social life, af fectionate di-pnsiltou, and domestic tastes, hati lived without enjoying life’s great charm—a home. But mvsterie-are cnrions ihinus, and this (act remained a mystery in spite of all my speculations. I could not fathom it, but tow a stronger desire seized me than ever before, t<> know why lie had never married. As he sat in the light of the grille, lie looked so statelv, genial, and handsome, the mystery grew greater to mv mind than ever, and I dvtermiied by direct questioning, to find out the se cret. ‘A cold day, uncle,’ I said hy way of introduction —‘a cold day, and 7 imagine you feel it sensibly ; it is not much like the East /ndia climate.’ ‘No,’ said he abruptly, and relapsed back into the dreamy slate lie had sat in before. ‘Yon do not like this climate, 1 in ac me,’ l continued. ‘Not much,” was the laconic an-wer wrung from him again. ‘But you didm one tune like to live in your native land.’ I said—‘why did you in the first place go lo the East Indies, uncle?’ ‘To trade,* said lie, ‘to lu.y and sell and get gain. That is ntint all ihe wot Id lives for. Gold is the lever that move the world’* ’True,’ I Siti I ; ’but von have won gold ; you are what the world calls licit; are von happy?’ Hi- brow contracted. ‘Happier ihnn 1 should have been with out wealth, l presume,* said he. ‘But perfect happiness is not the lot of mail.* ‘You never had a family, uncle,’ Icon linnet!, yon have lived alone all y our life. Why did yon never marry * did you nev er love?’ A deeper shadow stole to his check—l saw that 7 had touched upon a tender point. 7/e did not reply immediately, hut sat, I imagined half moodily, before the fire ns still as a statue. At length he turned abruptly towards me. ‘Yes I have loved,’ he said, ‘hut it was, long years ago. The romance of life is over with me now. The flame has gone out that passion kindled; there can scarcely be found one smoldering ember, that has survived the wrecks of time and its accompanying sorrows. ‘Tell hip all about it, uncle,’ 7 suit! anx iously. ‘When was it that you found your beau ideal —where did you meet with her? In America or in the East Indies?’ ‘lt was long years ago,’ he said, ‘long before I tveufln the East Indies that 7 first met with Atlelaid Sullivan.’ ‘Was she very beautiful, uncle?’ 7 que ried. ‘Had she blue eyes, a Grecian nose, and delicate features? Was she very lovely?’ ‘To me,’ he replied, ‘she yvas ns hpan liltti as an angel, although you perhaps might not at first sight have termed her very fair. She had eyes as blue ns tlm violets which opened in the spring woods lips and cheeks that might have stoien color front I tie n>S’ bud, and a forehead while as snow. But beautiful as sin was in person, she was more attractive in mind. She liar) w it, sprighililies*, intel ligence. She was gpnlle and refined. To me she seemed in those days of all her sex the paragon.’ l A ud still you did no; rnairy her,’ 7 said, ‘wliv was this?’ •Merc ■nary parents slood in the way— parents who said that something more than ‘love’ was wanted to commence housekeeping upon : parents who frowns ed upon my schemes, until in a fit of pas sion I vowed to amass gold until their cu pidity was satisfied, and with ihi- vmv up. on my lips I bade adieu to yjdelairl, and sailed for the Indies. For long years 7 toiled unsuccessfully. My head gtew grey with lime, and thought, anil car*'. At length the news reached me of Ade laid’s marriage. From that hour I relin quished all ideas of ever possessing a homos my own —of forming the centre of a domestic citric. 7 amassed gold, for nequisiti m had grown into a passion —a habit with me, and it is a passion with me still. Ju.-l now I was planning the sale of some ten acre lots on uiv plan tation. There was not much romance about tii.it operation you will admit.’ ‘No,’ I said thoughtfully, ‘hut wliaf of Adel ii<l! do you know limbing of her now? Have you never sought her out since your return to your native land?’ ‘No, not I! Why should I? She is ihe wile of another, and has forgotten me. At any rate she lias no business re membering me; a pretty chap I should consult ) myself, looking up married wo men, and reviving old flames. No! no/’ and my uncle shook his In-ad decidedly. Just then a rougher blast shook the easements—the day was in Irnili a most iiieleincnf one. The wind not only shook the easements, but forced open the door, my uncle jumped to Itis feet and sprung to close it inimedinlely. But lie did not itcctimplisli his design —a weak voice ar tested hit hand. The figure of it pale, and half frozen child stood upon the door steps, as it hesitating whether a welcome wailed lor him inside or not, ‘Come in hoy! come in!’ said tny uncle hastily; ‘a dog should not he abroad in sm'li w t allier—murli less a delicate child. Com*’ in, and thaw out your stifiened fin gets.’ Tin boy mounted the threshold, and loin ted lowauls the fire. He was very weak, ii might be through hunger; it might h” through cold perhaps from both eotnhiued. I arose an : offered him a low chair hy the grate.

I never took a copper in my life, and never mean to, without giving something in return. My mother sent me out this morning to sell tins, and not to beg.’ As lie spoke lie drew from his pocket a small roll, /watched and admired the little fellow as lie untied tiie string, and unrolled the brown paper that enclosed his treasure. 7 was surprised when I saw it at last held up for exhibition. It was a white satin apron, beautifully painted and trim.. ined; one which must at some time have belonged to the most honorable of the fraternity. My uncle was a brigl t mason; I saw his eye kindle and his cheek flush at the sight of the satin texture, now i ff red in exchange for bread—for the common ne cessaries of life. ‘To whom did this belong, mv boy?’ said my uncle in n mild voice, ‘was this your ('ailu-r’s? 1 ‘Y es,’ said the child; *my lather i. often to wear it, and a pretty siglu it was. Sir, to see him dressed out in hi- beautiful regalia. My mother hates to part with it, sir; indeed she lias parted with every tiling else before slip would pari with this, Inn site is sit k ami in gn m distress. This morning site said I must oiler this for sale, for she cannot hear to sec me beg, and we have nothing else to sell. A man up town tt* whom I offered it. told me that lie was not a mason and had no use for such regalia, but that if 1 would come here, perhaps l could sell it. 1 accord ingly came, and now would you like to buy it sir?’ •Buy it,’ eried my uncle. ‘No, I would not buy it for a world, but your mother, if site is the widow of the man who wore this, slia 11 never again send you forth oil such :in errand. I pledge ihe word of a gentleman and mason. Take your hat, boy, and show me the way to your resi dence.’ My unde had taken his cloak and was already clasping it around bin,. ‘Yon will not go forth surely, uncle, in such an hour, and with your East India constitution, to brave this inclement storm,’ I said rising and standing before him. ‘Y'ou can send money nr.d relief to this unfortunate lady without exposing yourself.’ ■1 cannot send,’ lie said implicitly. ‘lf the w blow and child of a mason can brave the rigors til the storm, I certainly ,un not too weak—too effeminate for the task. Give me my cane and hat.’ I handed them to him, and taking the child by the hand, lie went forth in the wind and sleet, for the latter had com., mem ed falling. I went lo the window, and watched them both until they were out of sight. I fell, ns I saw my uncle’s stalwart frame braving the inclemency witlmut, and yielding support to the deli eate fragile hoy. that he was indeed one of God’s nnlileiiien, and I mused over that mysterious organization of men, lo which lie belonged, and the benevolence of whose creed had led him forth lo peril the safety of a constitution, rendered pe culiui ly sensitive to cold, from a long res idem e in a foreign dime. • • * • • j It was quite dark before my unde re turned. He cair)£ in, and to my surprise exhibited no great symptoms of cold; he leisurely unclasped his cloak, and sat down to the supper table, which was al ready spread, without a remark. I looked into bis face, as I sal down to turn hi* coffee into the cups, but it was as itnreadable ns a scratdied and torn page; I could not unravel his thoughts.
