LITERATURE. UNDER THE ICE.

Under the ice the waters run ; Under the ice our spirits lie:

The genial glow ef the summer sun Shall loosen their fetters by-and by.

Moan and groan in the prison cold, River of lfte—river ot love ;

* ‘The winter is growing worn and old,

The frost is leaving the melting mould,

And the sun shines bright above.

Under the ice—under the snow,

Our lives are bound in a crystal ring: By-and-by will the south wind blow,

And the roses bloom on the banks of spring. Moan and grean in thy tetters strong,

River of life—river of love ; The nights grow short—the days grow long, Weaker and weaker the bonds of wrong,

And the sun shines brightly above.

Under the ice our souls are hid; Under the ice our good deeds grow ;

Men but credit the wrong we did— Never the motive that lay below.

Moan and grvan in thy prison cold, River of lite—river of love ;

The winter of life is growing old,

The frost ie leaving the melting mould, And the suu shives wari above.

Under the ice we hide our wrong— Under the ice that bas chilled us through ; O, that the friends who have known us long Dare to doubt we are good and true! Moan and groan in thy prison evld; River of life—river of love; The winter has grown worn and old, The roses stir in the melting mould; We shall be known above. -_- > o—____— MARY. Soft lying Where the sighing Of the wintry wind is loud; She is sleeping In the keeping Of her little snowy shroud.

In the silent chambers lonely, Sits the wother all the while,

Thinking of the eyes that only Looked upon ber but to smile.

Broken hearted Hope departed From the sunlight of her sky— For she never Thought that ever Aught so beautiful could cie.

Sunny tresses That she presses To ber broken heart to-day— Softly, lightly, Daily, nightly, Brightly ye were wout te play.

Oh, the mother’s heart is breaking, She can neither sinile nor speak, For the roses know no waking On her little darling’s cheek.

She is staying, She is praying,

She is singing To the ringing Of the angel lyres, 1 know.

MR. & MRS. SMITH'S HEADACHES.

A LESSON FOR SOMEBODY.

Such a headache as I have! groaned Smith, as be entered the breakfast-room, with his hair rumpled, his chest collapsed, and his back rounded outin the shape of a Jetter C. Such a headache!

Perhaps it was the cake you ate before going to bed, remarked bis wite as she pour- ed out the coffee

Cake? there's nothing more wholesome than cake before going to bed, especially plum cake, answered Smith dropping into a chair.

Mrs. Smith, feeling indisposed at that matu- tinal bour for an argument, assented.

Try a little tea, suggested ehe.

Tea? an old maid’s remedy ; no tea for me. Well, coffee.

I don’t think I want anything, groaned Smith. Qh, dear! I'am going to have a day of it.

Mrs. Smith bad it at her tongue’s end to 8 :—

Well that is the ueual result of having a night of it ; but she closed her teeth aod bit off the exasperating and trathful rejoinder.

Isn't this room awiul hot? asked Smith, opening six dvors, without waiting for her reply, which if uttered, would have been that she was shivering with the draughts.

Then seating himself at the table :

I think [ will have tea, Mrs. Smith ; it will be sure to upset or cure me; it doo’t matter which, he adds, with a despairing groan ; and I may as well eat @ piece of beefsteak while I'am about it—in for a penny, in fora

und—oh dear!

I think I'll come and sit in your room Mary, said Smith to hie wife, after the tea and breakfast had gone down. It looks nice and pleasant bere, and I like to stay with you when I have the headache.

Mary turned ber back, that he need not see the smile lurking round her mouth at the conclusion of his sentence, and brought a

illow to the sofa for his disorganized head.

Not that—no, not that; it will only burt

| Mary’s patience was waning. I know it, John—it always makes you sick. Don't | you recollect | asked you not to eat it at the time ! Well, atl I can say is. said Smith, I don’t,

I suppose, of course, you don’t feel sleepy at all ?

No, said Mary, looking from the window ata very lovely moon that was rising, no not

very.

Well, said Smith, don’t want to, but | can’t sit up any longer, and I have an idea I shall get to sleep.

So Mary went to bed with her bearded baby. A week had elapsed. Smith was in good health and spirits, He could smoke. The whole world wasn't a charnel-houve after all Mary was flat on her buck with @ nervous headache.

Sick ? asked Smith.

Shocking pain in my temple, said Mary.

What # pity! said Smith, paring his pails at the window without turning bis head, It’s)

spring. lave you the least idea where my grey pants are?

About seven in| matter.

‘ls that Mr. James?’ said a man below, falling back to the opposite side of the way, to luok up at us.

‘It is,’ said Mr. James; ‘ and you are my brother’s man Robert.’

‘Yes sir. I am sorry to say, sir, that Mr. Jobn is ill. He is very bad, sir. It is even

come if you don’t! teared that he may be lying at the point of

death. He wants to see you, sir. f haves chaise here. Pray come to him. Pray jose no time.’

Mr. James and | looked at each other, and he said :

*Whilhelm, this is strange. to come with me.’

1 helped him to dress, partly there, and partly in the chaise; and no grass grew un- der the horses’ iron shoes between Poland Street and the Epping Forest.

Now, mind! | went with Mr. James into his brother’s room, and I saw and heard

I wish you

going to be such a lovely day—quite like| myself what follows.

His brother lay upon his bed, at the upper end of a long bed-chamber. His old house-

No, said Mary, taintly, feeling for the | pillows, I think in the closet. So—strange, said Smith about those gray | |} pante, L don't think they’ve worn very well, | do youu? And do you know about the milk | bill whether it 18 right or not? And, by | the way, did my shoes come home last night? | and has that man been to fix the front door? |

My head aches so bad, said Mary, that 1) can't remember anything. Biddy will tell

ou.

Well, I’m sorry for you, said Smith, tying bis cravat at the glass. The very best thing for you is to keep quiet, and I'll take myself | out of the way. Sleep is the thing for you. So Smith put on bis heaviest pair of boots and went aj! over the house, and let the dours bang, whistled the Stars and Stripes, ate his breakfast and then came up to her to discuss the respective claims of pork and beef and chicken for that day’s dinner, closing by another recommendation to keep quiet and | not bother herself about anything.

No better? asked Smith, reproachfully, at) six v'clock that evening. I thought you'd be | well certainly by this time, after a day’s| quiet. Quiet, she had the whole aes

Where diviner breezes blow— | retinue after her all day, asking more ques-

tions than there are in the Assembly's cate-| chism, and the front door bell ringing .as if by order of the fire department: bat she had said nothing at all about that; if she had Smith would have replied with that lordly | wave of bis hand, with which men dispose of | such matters ; you shouldn’t allow such trifles | to trouble you.

No better, then? Smith inquired as if in gratitude to him he really deserved a modi- fication of her former reply—no better: Well, sleep, after all, is the best thing; and, | as [ can’t do anything for you, 1 think it is such a lovely night that [ will stroll out awhile. There, there, patting the end of the blanket, go to sleep now. And close upon bis retiring heels she heard the thundering bang of the front door.

After divers and many eomparisons between male and female headaches, and the seeming incongruity in the male mind for the same course of treatment for both, Mrs. Smith fell asleep, to be woke about twelve by Smith, who thumped up stairs in bis boots, wade a raid after the corkscrew in the closet and at a particular tumbler of particular shape he, wanted in connection with it; and advised | her as to the efficiency of sleep in cases of | female headache; then filled the house with | the nauseating fumes of tobacco at an boar | when 1t wasimpossible toair it. Then Smith | went to bed, and slept the sleep of the just, | with not a glimmering of an idea that he was one of the most selfish and unloving husbands.

Indeed had bis wife questioned it, he would have pointed her toa long columea in the daily papers, where accounts are given of those husbands who make it a practice to crack their wives’ skulls once a week, and placing his arms akimbo, with a stern look and with his nose close to her face, would have asked :

W hat if she had such a husband as that?

MISCELLANEOUS.

THE DUKE OF KENE IN GaNava.

At a meeting of the Literary and Historical So- ciety ot Quebec, last Wednesday evening, Hon. Mr, Chauveau in the Chair, Dr. Anderson read his paper on “ The Life of the Deke of Kent in Canada.” The doctor read many pleasing inei- dents in the life of the Prince, when a young and inexperienced man be was stationed at Quebec ; also some of a painful character, but all of which were creditable to head and heart. ‘The most thrill- ing was oue extracted from the Quebec Gazette of the day, which the doctor prefaced, as follows :—

“The dissatisfaction which had originated among the men of the Royal Fusiliers at Gib- ralter, and which led to their removal to Canada, dves not appear to have diminished, and punish- ments were of frequent Occurrence with certain bardened offenders, among whom at length a con- spiracy was formed. ‘The mutineers progosed to break out of the barracks, to seize the Prince, the General, and all the officers in the Chateau, and on non-compliance with their demands, they were to be put to death, after which the mutineers proposed to escape by crossing the river.

“It is difficult to say,”’ says the Quebec Gazette, of the 28th March, 1793, “ whether the folly or the atrociousness of the plot was the greatest; for the smallest reflection might have satisfied them of the impossibility of effecting their escape. Yet, it can hardly be doubted, that had they once taken the first step, their desperate siteation would bave led them to the comuinission of as much mischief as in the moment might have been in their power. Fortunately the plot was discov- ered, the conspirators were arrested, tried and convicted, and the sentences of the General Court- martial were as followe:—Jvoho Draper, death, by being shut. William Rose, fire hundred lashes, James Lanergan, for want of sufficient evidence, acquitted. Timothy Kennedy, guilty—seven hun- dred lashes. Sergt. T. Urgton, released (from a belief that the evidence would not be sufficient to convict him,) insisted on a trial, and was found guilty of a knowledge of an intended mutiny, and was sentenced to be reduced to the ranks, and to receive four hundred lashes. Draper was order- ed for execution on Tuesday, the 2ud April, but having made application for a week's respite, it was granted.

“On Tuesday, about 10 o'clock, Draper was brought out from the barracks dressed in grave clothes, walking bebind bis coffin, which was co- vered with a pall and carried by four wen. The troops under arms marched slowly before—the musie followed, playing dirges suitable to the oc-

| casien, and a vast concourse of spectators attend-

ed. When this affecting procession reached the place of execution, aud the convict had prepared himself to suffer, declaring to the last that he was innocent of the crime laid to his charge, and when the eritical moment was arrived that was to have

Shee it at the time, Smith, and my only chance of preventing you from eating was to refrain from asking you not to eat: I didn’t say so.

Yes, said Mary, and I'll take my sewing into the next room.
