| THE WILLOW

© willow, why for ever weep,

As one who mourns an endless wrong? What hidden woe can be so deep? What utter grief can last so long?

| The Spring makes haste with steps elate

Your life and beanty to renew ; She even bids the rose to wait,

And gives her first sweet care to you

The welcome redbreast folds his wing To pour for you his freshest strain ;

To you the earliest blnebirds sing, Till ali your light stems thrill again.

The sparrow trills his wedding song And trusts his tender brood to you: Fair flowering vines, the summer long,

With clasp aud kiss your beauty woo.

The sunshine drapes your limbs with light, The rain braids diamonds in your hair,

The breeze makes love to you at night— Yet still you droop, and still deepuir.

Beueath your boughs, at fall of dew, By lover's lips is softly told The tale that all the ages throngh

Has kept the world from growing old

Sut still though April's buds unfold, Or Summer sets the world aleaf,

Or Autumn pranks your robes with gold, You sway and sigh in graceful grief

Mourn on forever, nnconsoled, And keep your secret, faithful tree! No beartin all the world can hold A sweeter grace than cons:uncy. ——— — ee RAIN IN SUMMER,

It comes! The gushing wealth descends! Hark ! how it patters on the leaves! Hark! how it drips from cottage eaves!

The pasture aud the clouds are friends~ Drop gently, gently rain!

The fainting corn stock lifts its head,

The grass grows greener at thy tread, The woods are musical again ;

And from the hill side springing,

Down comes the torrent singing,

With gratefal natue in accord,

A fall-vviced anthem to the Lord,

To thank him for the rain.

A TALE OF LIFE IN CALCUTTA.

Having finished breakfast and called for the fioger-glasses, which in India are al. | Ways used after every meal, my wife pro- posed that we should invite the Barlows to | dinner for the next night. Major and Mrs. | Barlow had been long in India. During ithe mutiny they were at Selkote, where they fortunately escaped being murdered, 'when the native troops broke out there. | They had been fellow-pasengers with us | from England, and we had formed a friend- (ship with them on the voyage, which had Yeen thoroughly cement:d in Calcutta, | where we had derived the greatest benefit (from their kindness and experience. | | gave a ready assent to ber proposal, and she 'wrote Mrs. Barlow 2 note and sent it by [the bearer, who quickly returned with an | answer accepting our invitation, and saying they would call for w to drive with them on the course, for ty knew we preferred their carriage to ourowa humble bat more economical buggy.

We then went thmugh our rooms, mak-

ing order out of the daos left by the coolies. |All the windows wer shut, and the green Venetian sburters (alled jhilmils) reaching to the ground, were closed, and admitted none of the glare wlich reflected from the white buildings on ill sides, would other- | Wise have peuetratedthrough the verandah ;!uto the room and hosted it in spite of the monotonous aud reatlur swing of the large punkuh, which being about five yards long and one wide, was suspended from the ceiling. The short period of our residence in India had not dispelled the timidity my wife na- turally felt on her arrival, and she quickly yerceived that the shutters of the four drawing room windows, and of the bath. room opening on the verandah was easily secessible by the ladder L have mentioned ; there was, in fact, nothing to prevent a man surprising us at any time. She said that she could never bear to pass a night in ‘he rooms unless the windows wore securely fastened ; indeed, it really was not prudent to do so; for though L felt a3 safe in Qal- eutta as 1 should have dove in any English ‘own, yet robberies*had not been of un- frequent occurrence during the cold weather, aud a treacherous and deiberste murder by a vative servant at Garden Keach had ai- arwed the whole European community.
