BEAUTIFUL LINES.

The following lines were written by Tyrone
Power, the famous Lrish comedian, who perish-
ed on the steamer President. They were
inscribed on the wall of the **Old Blandtord
Church,” near Petersburg, Va. :
Thou art trembling in the dust old pile!
‘Thou art hastening to thy fall;

And around thee in thy loneliness,
Clings the ivy to the wall.

The worshippers are scattered now,
Who knelt before thy shrine;

And silence reigns Whé¥e anthems rose,
In days of *t Auld Lang Syne.”

And sadly sighs the wandering wind,
Where oft in years gone by,
Prayers rose from many hearts to him,
‘The Highest of the High,
The tramp of many a busy foot,
‘That sought thy aisles is o’er,
And many a weary heart around,
Is still tor evermore.

How doth ambition’s hope take wing!
How droops the spirit now!
We hear the distant city’s din,
‘The dead are mute below:
The sun that shone upon their paths,
Now gilds their lonely graves,
The zephyrs which once fanned their brows,
‘The grass above them waves.

Oh! could we call the many back
Who've gathered here in vain,

Who've careless roved where we do now,
Who'll never meet again:

How would our very hearts be stirred
To meet the earliest gaze,

Of the lovely and the beautiful,
The lights of other days!

Soleoct Hiterature.

‘The room was in contusion ; everything
was strewn about in disorder, as if some
one had packed und gone away DAEs
On the table lay «a telegraphic despatch,
the one he had sent her that morning, tell-
ing her he was nearing her, And near it
lay a sheet of paper; he thought he saw
something scrolled upon it, and stooped
nearer it. And, oh, Nell! it was like a
blinding flash of lightening! It was trom
his wite; sue was false and wicked; she
had gone with her companion in guilt, who
proved to be an old accomplices she taunt-
ed him for leaving her for so long a time,
and told him that now she paid her’ silly
dupe for his neglect. And she finished
her coarse missive with the words: * You

*Oh! Dr. Fanchon—poor doctor !’ groan-
ed poor sobbing Nell, as he paused a mo-
ment with his face in his hands, as it to
shut out of his mind the horrible memory,
‘Wait! said he, sternly. Let me tell
you the rest of my story, for now you
know who the boy was. Wait, Nell. |
That was a heavy blow; but that was not

And as she drooped her head low to tho
doctor’s hand, a whispered ‘** Amen” pass-
ed even his pale lips.

‘Nell, Nell, forgive me! exclaimed he.
‘Brave little Nell, don’t despise me alto-
gether. Lamastrong man, and I have
been the weakest. I haye been unmerei-
ful! I will go away trom here. I will
bear my burden better!’

‘Forgive you, doctor!’ said Nell,’ rais-
ing her sweet eyes to his face, no longer
tear-dimmed eyes, but full of a holy, soft
light. *I have nothing to lorgive, or if I
had, ‘tis forgiven and forgotten. Dear
friend do not go away from us! Do not
leave Philand I, Now I know the sad
secret eating your heart. Stay and let us
be your comlorters, your comrades on the
weary roud you have belore you. We
will forget all the past, and we will be to
ygu as brother and sister; and thus, my
brother, with God’s good angels standing
by, do Lmuke the compact!" and she aia
her hand in his, and us he clasped her
hand with new and purified feelings, he
coumenced thot moment a nobler and
braver lite; and if he felt that the shadows
still gathered about him, he knew that
from a darker shadow still, the shadow ot
a great sin, God, the good angels, and
Nellie, had saved him.

‘Go, now, my odrother,’ said Nellie.
* Phil and I willlove you and pray for you;
and do not leave Phil, Come to us as you
always have, and leave the rest with
God,

With a kiss he might have pressed npon
his own sister’s brow, he turned and went
away,

Nell walked home ag one in a dreatn.
When she ieiched there she found pooi
Phil much worse. Luter in the day the
friends sent in agonized haste tor the
doctor, Philip seemed dying. ‘There was
no disguis‘ng it. He was going away
from tien, poor fellow, He had long

of ecstasy swept over her soul—it nearly
conquered her, But Nell’s soul was true
to hex sense of right, as the needle to tie
pole; his wite lived, he had pledged him-
self to another, and he was another's. She
must pour away the wine of her lite with
her own just hand; but first, she threw
herself on her knees by his side, she raised
his proue head, she gave him onv jong,
clinging kiss, telling ail her love, all her
ayouy. She nestled to her side, and with
ber arms about him, she prayed, as an
angel might have prayed, tuat they might

him teebly tor ali he had been to him as
doctor and friend, Te gathered his sister
Nell’s hand up, and laid it in the doctor's,

thetic look passed between them, All was

They gathered round poor Phil and
Watched his every breath, Gradually, as
they lelt he was really leaving them, as
they caught his feeble good-by, breathed
so indy, as if he clung to lite with re-
luctant hand, while he could once more
speak to the dear old faces, the heavy trial
in all its bitterness, burst fall upon them ;
they were crushed to earth.

Amid the sobs and farewells, and by
dying Phil's side, the doctor bore himseli

he who eluscd the dead eyes of darling
Phil, and led the distracted mother to her

Jay robed tor the grave; and as the moon-
ight tell on that pale, smiling face, they
knelt side by side in that hushed, white
chamber, and he prayed that, ‘In deed
and in trath, that peace which passeth all
understanding might rest upon them, and
that they might, sume day, lay down the
weary burden ot lite as dear Phil had done,
and might enter into that rest where there
is no murrying or giving in marriage, and
where tears are wiped olf all faces,’

And with this holy chrism on lip and
brow of a victory won, of a peace made
with God and themselves, they parted,
exch to that path of duty which awaited
them—cach to trust and work, and wait

patiently, till God, in his own good time,

CONFEDERATION IN ENGLAND.

(From the London Kxpress, Oct. 2.)

The Canadians are expecting, as_ their
newspapers are informing us. w repetition
of the Fenian raids tram the United States
The American correspondent of the ‘Tor-
onto and Montreal journals transmit plans
of campaign, very, elaborate and very
Irish, designating the Fenian lines ot
march, with the posts to be occupied, and
distinguishing with admirable precision
the real points of attack trom those against
which ouly teints are to be made, The
colonists, according to the plan, are to be
alarmed along the whole line, whereupon
their trooos are in every case to rush to the
wrong place, and while they are mooning
about in bewNderment, the enemy is to
seize the chief cities, public arms, public
stores, and shipping, hvist the Feniau

understanding.

and severely respect private property.

The Canadians ought to know by this time
the quality of the toe, and what attention
is due to stories of this kind. They have
had to do with the Fenian organization in
the United States when it was compara-
tively powerful, when, disposing of pape
funds, it was able to collect large bodies
of men, and when its enterprises had not
been made ridiculous by failure. The last
Fenian expedition to Canada was the ir-
ruption of a horde without discipline and
without artillery, and carrying its whole
commissariat in whiskey flasks, At the
present time the Fenian leaders publicly
deplore their want of money and the ex-
treme difficulty of collecting it, while the
best New York journals declare that no-
thing is known by the Government of the
United States of the hostile preparations
which have so strongly impressed the

Cinadian mind. It is tor the colonists to
judge tor themselves of the probability of
attack, and to muke the necessary pre-

pirations to resist it. This, however, is

what we cannot find that they are doing.

Their panic stricken journals abound a

the language of invective against the

Government of the United States, while

they cry lustily for troops from England.

sensible and best conducted newspapers

in Canada, goes so far as to declire that

Lord Monck ought to send an ultimatum

to Washington, and in the event of its

rejection declare war, ‘* We ought, then,

to deal with the Government of the United

States in accordance with the practices of

diplomacy among civilized nations, to ask

for tu explanation of the arming which is

going on within their jurisdiction, and

should it not be discontinued, we ought
not te await the time deemed most favor-
able for our injury, but at apee declare
war,”

This is the language of independent
public spirit. and we read it with a glow
of pride: evidently, we say, these are
true children of the old country; this is
the spirit which becomes the *‘new na-
tion” of British North America, which
Lord) Monck announced to the world.
When one of our colonies feels strong
chough to declare war in its own name
Against a powertul neighbor, every one of
us feels an inch taller, But an awakening
follows this pleasant dream, and our joy
is dashed as, reading on, we discover taney
while Canada is to declare war, England
is to dothe fighting We are told that if
the British Government has not compre-
hended the nature of the emergency, it is
for our (the Canadian) Government * to
enlighten it, and to force upon it the
adoption of the steps which are required
to secure for this part of Her Majesty's
dominions the benefits of the general tran-
quility of the Empire, The very same
steps which would be incumbent upon the
British Government, if armies were being
prepared in Normandy for an attack upon
Sussex, are ifcumbent upon it now that
armies are being prepared in the United
States for an attack on Canada, Other-
wise we participate only in the dangers
which arise out of our connection with a
State which has enemies, and enjoy none
ol the security which belongs to the sub-
jects of a powerful Government.” This is
the language of dependence—not modest
and self-knowing, but presuming, eu-
crouching dependence,—the language of
those who {vel that they need not allow
themselves to berestrained by any scruples,
since there are reasons why their most ex-
travagant demands must be concealed.
And, us was to be foreseen, this policy of
colonial extortion succeeds, Already, be-
fore the sentences were written, the Im-
perial Government was sending out large
reinfurcements of troops to Canada, not
because there was reason to apprehend a
war with the United States, but because
the public feeling of the Canadians is so
utterly debauched by our habit of doing
everything for them that they will not so
much as defend themselves against an
Jrish rabble,

The Canadians are not required to do
wnything for us. ‘he work to be done is
their own work, that of defending their
hen roosts and pantries; and rather than
do it they talk magniloquently and invoke
the protection of the british Army
this is just what our wise men
have foretoid, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Lowe,
Mr. Godley, Mr. Goldwin Smith, and
others have warned us that if we went on
gurrisoniug our colonies we should de-
moralize their inhabitants, and render
them lielpless and paralytic. Four years
ago Mr, Alderly, iu his masterly letter to
Mr. Disraclie, recommended the withdvaw-
al of our troops trom British America, on
the ground that the presence of the English
suldicrs there furnishes the colonists with
an excuse lor not organizing an efficient
local lorce. Since then the Duke of New-
castle and Mr, Cardwell have insisted on
tue duty of the colonists to provide tor
