WEE WILLIE.

Fare-thee-well. our last and fairest,

Dear wee Willie, fare-thee-well! God who lent thee, hath recall’d thee,

Back with him- and his to dwell.

Fifteen moons their silver lustre Only o'er thy brow had shed,

When thy spiritjoined the seraphs, And thy dust the dead.

Like a sunbeam thro’ our dwelling, Shone thy prescpco bright and calm ; Thou didst add I. Zest to pleasure; To our sorrow thou wert balm ;-—- Brighter beams thine eyes thansummer, And thy first attempt at speech Thrill'd our heartsflngs with a rapture Music ne’e;_could reach.

As we gazed upon thee sleeping, With thy fine fair locks outspread, Thou didst seem a little angel, Who to earth from heaven had strayed ; And, entranced. we watched the vision, Halfin hope, and halfsfright, Lest what we deem’d ours and earthly, V Should dissolve in light.

Snows o’ermantled hill and valley, , Sullen clouds begrimed the sky,

When the first drear doubt oppress’d us,

That our child was doom'd _ die! ‘ Through each long night-watc , the taper

Show’d the hectic of his cheek;

And each anxious dawn beheld him, More worn out and weak.

Oh, the doubts, the fears, the anguish, Ofa parent’s brooding heart, - When despair is'hovering round It, And yet hope will scarce depart,— When each transient flushof fever, Omens health’s‘ returning light, Only to involve the watchers ’Mid intenser night!

Like the shot-star in blue midnight, Like the rainbow, ray by ray,

Thou wert waning as we watch'd thee, Loveliestin thy last decay!

As a zephyr, so serenely Cams and went thy last, low breath,

That we paused, and ask’d our spirits,— Is it so? Can this be death ?

‘Frve were ye, the beauteous blossoms Ofour hopes, our hearts, our hearth ;

Two asleep lie buried under,— Three for us yet gladdon earth ;

. Thee, our hyacinth, gsy Charlie,—

Willie thee our snow-drop pure,—-

Back to‘us shall second spring-time Never more allure !

Yet while thinking. oh! our lost ones, Of how deer ye were to us, Why should dreams of doubt and darkness Haunt our troubled spirits thus 3 Why across the cold, dim churchyard, Flit our visions of despair? Seated on the tomb, Faith’s Angel Says,“ Ye are riot there "’

Where, then, are ye? With the Saviour

Blest, for ever blest, are ye, "Mid the sinless little children, ' Who have heard his “ Come to me E” ”Yond the shades ofdeath’s dark valley

Now he leans upon his breast, Where the wicked dare not enter,

And the weary rest.

VWHAT IS SLANDER? ‘Tis an assassin at the midnight hour, Urged on by envy, that, with footstep soft,

, Steals on the slumber of sweet innocence, And with the dark drawn dagger ofthe mind, Drinks deep the current of the heart.

It is a worm that crawls on beauty's cheek, , . ,"Liko‘ the vile viper in a vale offlowers, {lid riots on ambrosial blossoms there. t is a coward in a coat of mail, That wages war against tho brave and wise, And like the long, lean lizard, that will mar The lion’s sleep, it wounds the noblest breast.

(Concluded.)

” Hope cometh with the morning,” and Grace rose on the morrow with renewed strength and resolution. One place yet remained untried. Mrs. Cunningham, the trusted, would prove very different from either ofthe ladies on whom she had already called. Grace was this time more fortunate than she had been in either of her previous visits, for she found the lady at home, and ready to receive her; she was admitted, therefore, at once, and feund Mrs. Cunningham surrounded by a group of children. She rose as our heroine entered, and, advan- cing to meet Graée, kindly invited her to be seated.

“ Non, Johnny, darling," she said, turning to a little fellow some four‘ years old, “ don’t play drum for a few minutes, while mamma is talking to Miss Winthrop.”

Johnny stopped for a moment, as he stood staring with hip round eyes at Grace, and then began rub-a-dnb-dub.

“ He is so delighted with his birth-day presentl’: con- tinued the mother, gazing with delight at her boy. “ Come here, Johnny, and show your drum to this lady," but Johnny never budged, and the rub-a-dub-dub con- tinued ,without pause or mercy.

“ He is our only boy, Miss Winthrop,” continued Mrs. Cunningham; “ I have six girls, but this is our only son.

Coe here, Fanny, here Charlotte,” and she called lit- tlsgirl after little girl, whose platter faces, and pig-tails,

and black'silk aprons, seemed all cut after the same

. . . Pa" torn, only varying from each other an inch or so in

height.

After a little conversation as to acquirements and

references, Mrs. Cunningham said,

:‘ I should wish to impress upon you, my dear Miss Winthrop, the importance ofstudying the difl'erent minds It is not so much in stated les- suns that Flock for their improvement, as to that in- struction which, is imparted in familiar conversation, which amusee without fatiguing the youthful mind ; and, above all, I would not have them forced forward too fast. You will find Gertrude very precocious, full of ambition and excitability. Emma, again, is timid and retiring, . Fanny rs a child of very peculiar turn of mind, and I think it bethr always to yield to the prevailing train of thought and] feeling which gaverns her for the moment; and Helen," but what was Helen’s peculiarity we forget, but something that betokened rare endowments; and so Grace found that the Misses Cunningham were all very un- common children, though from their rognd flat faces no mortal would have suspected it. That'ers.’Cunning- ham was a weak woman, and the children somewhat spoilt, required but little observation to discover; but then there was kindness in the mother’s tones, and love even in ’her folly, and alth’oy'gh she might and probably would. ovens: Grace’s strength and severely try her pa-

tience. the terms being much nearer those Grace had named to herselfthan the sum offered her by Mrs. Gore, she gladly closed with the offer.

“ We shall leave the city, however, in a few days, for the summer,” said Mrs. Cunningham, “ and I shall not be able to receive you under two months. By the middle ofSepternber I shall expect to see you.”

This somewhat disappointed Grace, as she could not bear intruding longer on the kindness oer. and Mrs. Franklin, but they would not hear a word to the con- trary. . ‘ .

“ Dear, dear Grace," said little Helen, putting her arms around her neck, “ how sorry I shall be when you go away from us. And then I must give up my musi'q too, for papa says he cannot afford to give me ateacher.

“ Dear child,”,said Grace, kissing her afl'ectionately, “I do not mean to let you give up your music. I ex- pr‘essly arranged with Mrs. Cunningham that I am t’q have every Saturday afternoon to give you your lesson.

“ Dear, sweet, good Grace,” exclaimed Ithe child, Joy- fully. “ Now, you must sing me one ofyour beautiful songs after tea, won’t you". It is so long since you have sung for us.” i .

“What an exquisite voice! Mr. Franklin, who Is that singing?” said a young gentleman who happened to be purchasing’ééome books in the from store, “ Such perfect taste, and finished executionl’c continued the young man, with enthusiasm. ' _

“ My daughter is taking her lesson,” replied the good man, not quite attending to the question, and still think- ing ofhis little Helen’s “Away with Melancholy,” WhICh he looked upon as a master-piece in music. '

Whether by design or accident, Mr. Harrison was purchasing some trifle in the store at about the same hour the next evening, and listening with delight’to the same melody that had so entranced him the night be‘ fore. .

“ You seem'very fond of music. Mr. Harrison,"~ said Mr. Franklin. “ Perhaps you would like to step into the backroom and hear my little girl play ’l”

“ I should indeed, sir,” replied the young man, eager- ly, delighted at an opportunity of seeing the unknown songstress, although Helen’s “ Away with Melancholy” was to be the penalty. If he had been surprised at hear- ing such music in such a quarter, how was that surprise heightened in seeing the fair performer herself. The r uncommon loveliness and elegance ofGrace would have struck him, no matter in what circle he had met her, and certainly the small back parlor and little front shop did not lessen the illusion of that beauty qnd elegance. ' To appear charmed with the child’s mnstc was a mat- ter of course, nor was be satisfied until she had heard “Away With Melancholy” three times, when the little girl declared that now it was “Miss Winthrop’s turn to sing,” on which Mr. Harrison ventured to second her petition, and Mr. Franklin, whose gratified paternal va- nity would not willingly have refused the young man any request at the present moment, would not allow Grace to quit the piano, and thus two hours passed with a rapidity scarce any ofthe party were aware of.

The interest Mr. Harrison henceforth took in little

Helen's music was quite surprising, and Mr. Franklin, with all the simplicity in the world, gave him free access to that little back parlor, which was now \becoming the plainest frame—work to the prettiest romance ever woven by youth, beauty, and music. . Independent in fortune, enthusiastic in temperament, Mr. Harrison had only to consult his .own heart and Grace’s eyes to lead him to a decision, and cre the mid- dle ofSieptember had cqme round the bluslfirog andhap; py Grace had made engagements which prevented her from fulfilling that already formed with Mrs. Cunning- ham, who was a little inclined to murmur and think Grace “ selfish" in preferring her own happiness to her convenience. ‘ _ Established in her own house, a loved and loving wife, courted by the gay, and flattered by the prosperous, Grace ever remembered and treated her early friends with the gratitude and respect due their Worth and ge- nerosity, and, above all, never forget to receive with kindness and sympathy those whose sad lotjt was to be “ seeking a place.”

Unable to receive a cure there, the deportent sought relief at the. three ollowing hospitals: King’s College Hospital In May, lorfive weeks ;—at Guy’s Hospital in July, for six weeks; and at Lha- ring Cross Hospital at the end of August, for some weeks more; which dcponcnt left, being in a far worse condition than when he quitted Guy's, where Sir BRANSBY COOPER and other modi- cal officers-of the establishment had told deponent that the only chance of saving his life was to LOSE HIS flRM.’ The depo- uent thereupon called upon .Dr. BRIGHT, chief phy'smian of Guy’s, who, on viewing theldepgnent's co ndltion, kindly and liberally said. “ lam utterly at a loss who! to do for you.l but here is liulfn-saccrcign : go to Mr. HOLLOWA Y, and try whul efl'ect his Pills and Ointment will have, as I hope frequently unt- nessed the wonderful («feels they have in desperate cases.

_, , V, ,TLIE_FAMILY LIFE MEDICINES.

HE celebrated Lift: Pills and P/Imuiz Bitters, pre- pared and sold by Dr. \Vm. B. hlofi‘at,375, Broadway,New York. may now be said to be the most rcsncctnbly established and extensively adopted family medicines in the United States. They have not only won the sanction and recommendation ofall tho candid and philanthropic cortion ofthe medical profession, who have observed their invariable afiicacy in general dcrangements oftho stomach and bowels, and their stonishing effects in many varieties of acute and chronic disease, but that is far better, these medicines have recommended themselves, and fully and fairly nchicved the L'listinguislied and now certainly pro-eminent position which they now ovcupy in public and domestic estimation. They are proved by their works, and make no appeals to vulgar credulity. lfthe proprietor were disposed to make an invidious comparison be tween these self-established medicines and any others, he might confi- dently assert and challenge contradiction that there is no medicine known to the medical profession, or named in their books, concerning which so malty clear, unquestionable and conclusive evidences ofuse— fulncss and remarkable cures are recorded as those which he can ndduce concerning the Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters. li'it be admitted that suf- ferers are the bestjudges as to whether a remedy has relieved them and restored them to health and strength, then is the evidence in behalf of these medicines decisive and irresistible. Dr. Model is in possession of an immense accumulation of voluntary testimonials from respectable persons and families in all parts of the Union, far and near, who give their names and residence to the unsolicited statement that they have been completely and speedily cured of the followingr diseases, aiid of many others not here enumerated, by those [.ifc Medicines alone, when other medicines had been longr employed in vain. viz: Scrofula. in its most dreadfully advanced and destructive stages, when large portions of the flesh and bones ot'the face had been destroyed; Piles of five, ten, twen- ty, thirty and even thirtyvfive years standing; Rheumatism, both acute and chronic, of the most hopeless character; Turgcscence of the Liver, and various other liver complaints; Bilious Cholic, and every conceiva- ble variety of bilious affections; Marasmus 'l‘abes, or Decline, and Mares- mus Phlhisic, or Consumption, in more advanced stages than any on record; Dyspepsia, in all its chronic and acute varieties, with its fright- ful train of distressmg symptoms; \Vorms of all kinds, both in children and grown persons Diarrhoea, both serous and biliou‘s; Costivencss, both habitual and occasional; Fever and Ague, in its three principal varieties, and intermittent and remittent fevers, ofall kinds; llypocon- driosis,and other extremely complicated nervous afl'ections,with nervous debility in general; Salt Rheum, Running Scnld, and eruptive diseases generally, including Enanthcsis, Erysipelas or St. Anthony’s fire, and sallow,enhealthy complexion; I’alpitation of the heart, and Determina< tion ofblood to the head, settled pains in the organs, limbs, back, head and side; afl‘ections ofthe bladder, kidnies, spleen, throat, and pleura ; jaundice, dropsy' and goat 3 together with those general affections of the system which arise from complicated causes.

The certificates of these cures are in the proprietor's possession, and will readily be shown to all who desire to see them. A small selection from them have been published in Mofl‘at’s Medical Manual, ofwhich a new and enlarged edition is preparing for the press. The reason why these medicines, which in ordinary family use operate merely as mild and effectual laxatives, cure so great a variety of formidable diseases is, that while as cathartics, cleansing the alimentary canal, and relieving the liver and the absorbent vessels of all impurities, they lay the foundation for the cure of all specific diseases, they are compounded of unique and unprecedented variety of choice and exquisite ingredients, some of which are almost unknown to the profession, which exert a specific action upon many complaints, wilhout in the slightest degree aflecting thegcneral system, otherwise titan as simple purifiers, when those complaints are not present. Both the .Pills and the Bitters are mild and agreeable in their operations, causing neither prostrations nor nausea, and requiring

produce an immediate sense ofrcnovated health, and newlife and vigour to both body and mind. They cannot be taken without benefit, and they should be procured both by individuals and heads of families, and con- stantly kept on hand, not only as remedies but as preventatives ofdis- case. They are prepared and sold wholesale and retail, by Dr. \Villiam
