THE VACANT CHAIR.

Musing by my cheerfui fireside On this quiet winter night,

Shupes of grace, ang hoes of beauty, Meeting, everywhere, my sight ; Peace and comfort shining round me,

Yet my spirits are not light.

For my glances still are turning To a little vacant chair,

Standing idly in the corner— Ever standing idly there ;

Once it held a little maiden, Very dear and very fuir.

Ah! the sud and sudden changes Brenking into life's bright dream,

Sweeping like the storm-cloud’s darkuesa O'er the lately tranquil etream ;

Or a note of wildest discord Into music's sweetest theme.

In the fullest tide of rapture, lu my life's serenest hour,

When my spirit sang within me Like a bird. in summer bower,

Came this tempest Weeping o'er me, Came with desolating power.

Then a voice of tender sweetness Died away in pluintive sighs;

Then a face of xentle beauty Faded frum my yearning eyes,

Oh! the sorrow of that moment!

Oh! the weary, weary pain, Pressing, like an iron fetter,

Close on throbbing heart and brain, Wakiay thoughts of gloom and sadness,

Like the captive’s heavy chain.

Mozhs have passed. and grief’s wild torrent ‘Now have slowly ebbed away;

Months have passed, and resignation, Smiling, bids me trust and pray ;

Yet a memory, sad and sucred, Trembles at my heart alway.

Ever ar the shades of twilight

Comes a welcome, fairy vision, Stexling in wy lonely room—

Seeming like # ray of sunshine All the durkvess to illume.

More astonishing still, it bore date the same day on which it was posted. A passage in which Cleveland's aame occurred at cuce attracted my eye. It ran as follows;

I was furced to let bim go; tor he quar- relied with me, and would bave strack me, on & precipitous path, with a sheer descent of hundred feet on one side, and an equally stecp ascent on the other, where one false atep would have costone or both of us our lives. He had been mood? and restless all morning, and pr as we reached the most dangervus part of the road, stopped, refused to go any further, and declared that he must immediately.return to England. I was sur- prised, and when I noticed the ex ion af his eyes, a little alarmed. 1 tried, however, to laugh him out of hie sudden fancy, but had no succéss ; he grew angry, and, when persisted, strack at me with his al ke. { warded the blow ; and he instantly turned, und ran down the bill as if thefuries pursued him.

| iNSANE!

Iusune ! here waa the solution of the terri- ble mystery. Edward was safe and well ; and the whole stury of the murder was the creation of a diseased brain, of which all whe heard had been the dupes, and of which the deluded author was the wretched victim, The vision of the clatrvoyante, coinciding as it did with the story previously written out by the self-imagined mu , Was a mere reflection of his delusion, which bastened his end before Edward's return could dispel the horrible fancy. The event gave sach a shock to Arnold that he never ventured to practise the art again.

Owens, Goon snp Bap. —A namber of good and bad omens have been tukea from ob- serving what happens to one at starting—or what p raon or animal one first meets in the morning. To stumble presages misfortune ; as it indicates want of self-possession. The dread of a hare crossing the path, seems to be prevalent; while tu see a wolf is a good omen; the former suggesting cowardico, the Jjatter victory. To meet an old woman is an- lucky, being suggestive of witches. The omens in which the Thugs, or secret mar- derers of India, Odelieve with peculiar de- votion, are almost the very same which the ancients observed with equal attention, especially the appearance of avi:mals un the right or left hand. Among the Greeks the former denoted good luck, and the latter bad. Strange to say, among the Romane, this rule was reversed. From a remote period the number seven has been held in great favor. A seventh son wae su to possess a healing power ; and in [ the seventh son of @ seventh son was considered as endowed not only with healing, but pro- phetic gifts. An omen about magpies is curious; to aee only one denotes aurrow ; two, mirth; three, a wedding; and four, presage a tuneral. However,an omen is not always considercd an arbitrary sign of the future, as it may be preyented by a counter-
