She has eyes as blue as heaven ; (Only aged about seven ;) But unto her God has given

Such a heart, That forever she is singing, And her sweet voice ever ringing, Beauty o'er the rapt heart bringing,

Sweet as art.

With her teeth, so white and pearly, By the way,

And I take her hand, and press it

In my own, just to caress it—

May the world smile kindly on her, Benedictions tall upon her, Angels be her guard of honor, As she goes

Through this world of ours, singing, Peace to troubled spirits bringing, No grief her pure heart wringing

With its woes.

Brightest crown that e’er was given,

Where the waves of life are driven Past the throne—

It is surmised that the tower may have belonged to the second church, and in that case it has been standing about |two hundred and thirty years.

In all this neighbo:hood are objects of interest connected with our early colouial history, Seven miles from James- ltown is Williamsburg, the second metropolis of Virgivia, to | which the colonial government was removed from Jamestown |in 1695, on account of its greater healthfullness and eon- venience. It is situated on a level plain, between the York jand the James rivers. ‘uutil 1779, when the seat of government was removed to Rich- imond, fifiy-e'ght miles distant. }a population of about two thousand ; but though small, the polite and brilliant cirele which surrounded the royal Gover- | hors gave it an unwonted degree of grace and animation, and ‘attracted thither the fashion and wealth of the province, Lu ‘other respects Williamsburg is the same as in colonial days. | A description of it, published by an Englishman a hundred

jand twenty years ago, would answer, with few exceptions, |

‘for the present time. Most of the private buildings were ierected before the Revolution ; the wings of the royal palace still remain ; the church and other objects of historic interest |An air of profound quiet, as provocative of somnolency as {the atmosphere of Sleepy Hollow, pervades the whole setile- ‘ment. ‘Twelve miles from Williamsburg is Yorktown, situ-

from its mouth. It now consists of about thirty dilapiadted ‘dwellings. On the banks of this broad and glorious stream | stand the ruins of a church built one hundred and filty years ‘ago, and near it the monuments and coats of arms of the ' Nelson family, so illustrious in the colonial and revolutionary ‘history of Virginia. On this narrow strip of land, between |two Virginia rivers, and at a distance of about eighteen miles ‘from each other, is the spot on whicl, began and the spot on | whicls ended the British dominion in our country.

‘THE PRINCE AT ST. LOUIS. | On the City of A'ton steamer yesterday his Royal High-

ness politely accepted the invitation of the captain to look at

the engine and other machinery of the boat, and after return- |

ing from the inspection he expressed his pleasure at the op- portunity afforded him. He has, as I bave often had oc- casion to mention, a quick eye for ithe picturesque, and from the miseellancous crowd assembled at the Alton janding place to the mouth of the Missouri, and thence onward to the St. Louis levee, the varted scenes and scenery by the way were objects of his close attention,

sense failed to impress him and his suite with a very favorable idea of American consideration and courtesy. There has been a universal desire to pay bim respect aud do him honor, and the affections have been widely enlisted in his welfare. The jenthusiasm hss been even greater than was displayed by the ‘people of the Britsh Provin«s although, f om the fact of hs :ssiming the incognite, the usual pazeantries of roya ty have been dispensed with, in deference to his own expressed wishes.

To-day is almost a general holiday in the city, for most of the wholesale stores, reading rooms, and public offices are closed. This is as much owing to the visit of the Prince as the cireninstanee of it being the fourth and great day of the Anneal Fair of the St. Louis Agricultural and Mechanical Association.

This is held in and around a large amphitheatre standing in the centre of forty acres of land, the whole being enclosed by a pailing provided with gates. All sorts of horses cattle, and farmyard live stock, farming imp!ements, ficld and gardea products, and fine arts are there exhibited, and a goodly number of prizes have been distributed among their owners,

cipal sights of the city, including the fair. The City Hall, the Custom House, the Court House, the Post Office, the University of St. Louis, and the United States Arsenal, a

and structure in the southeast part, were among the objeets of attention, as also some of the churches, and Lafayette Square. The weather, although very wet in4he early morn- ing had by this time become quite fine.

The committee of leading citizens, headed by the Mayor, accompanied his Royal Lighvess, who received from the ‘latter full information of places by the way.

On arriving at the fair grounds the party were cheered, to which the Prince, as usual, responded by bowing and raising his hat. He accepted the invitation into the pagoda in the centre of the amphitheatre, and inspected the stock and exhibition, the gaze of the forty thousand being mean- while full upon him. | Que of the trotting horses, Silver [eels, attracted the Duke of Neweustle’s attention, and was purchased by him. Another, Wide Awake, cante in for the Prince’s admiration, and, like his friend the Duke, he became also a purchaser at the fair. Both will be sent to England. | The party, at the invitation of the committee, afterwards |

ig 5

partook of luncheon ic a reserved portion of the building. |

The sight of the immense multitude oa the grounds was dur- ing this time very grand, and the euthusiasm ran high.

PARISIAN GOSSIP.

We were walking some years ago with Alfred de Musset on a beach much resorted to by parties for bathing. We had ofien encountered a very remarkable couple—a very beautiful woman of about thirty years leaning oo the arm of a man a litle yeunger than herself im that peculiar manner which says more plain y then words, * He is mine, and I love him.’ The wor'd did wot exist for them, and they were alone in the midat of a crowd. ** Look at them,” said Musset. “ I have writen the history of their happiness without their knowl dye. _ Phe woman os a Canadien, married at sixteen, wih a large fortune, aud without knowing what love was.

She came to France, and Fiance pleased her so much that she re- solved never to quit it. | She was of a romantic disposition, and was fond of building castles in the air, Yielding to a sudden caprice, she leased a | house in the Rue de la Harpe, and adopred the dress and man- ners of a grisette. Opposite her dwelt a handsome young man, Ofien their eyes met when she arranged the flowers at her window, and soon, Without having spoken, they knew each other, One morning they met in the street, and the young wan accosted ber as he would any grisette. *‘Whatare you doing, Mademorseile ? | ‘Seeking some house to spend a few leisure moments.’ | © 1 offer you mine.’ | She hesnated, blashec, and stammered an acceptance. * You will come then to-morrow morning ?? | * Yee, but IT shall only: be able to give you an hour.

But the next Cry he awaited wth feverish impatience the promised visit, and his heart throbbed when he saw the young woman close her window, descend the stair case, go out of her house, cross the street, and enter his house.
