LIFE.

BY FLORENCE M CARTHY.

7 little they know of true happiness, they whom saticly

ills,

Who, flung on the rich breast of luxury, eat of the rankness that kills.

Ah! little they know of the blessedness toil-purchased slum- ber enjoys,

Who, stretch’d on the hard rack of indolence, taste of the

_ Sleep that destroys ;

Nothing to hope for or labour for ; nothing to sigh for, or gain; 4

a to light in its vividness, lightning-like, bosom and rain ;

Pigthing to, break life's monotony, rippling it o’er with its breath ;

Brn « bat dulness and lethargy, weariness, sorrow, and

eath.

But blessed that child of humanity, happiest man among men,

W ho, with hammer or chisel or pencil, with radder or plough- share or pen,

life,

Winning home snd its darling divinities --love-worshipped children and wife.

Round swings the hammer of industry ; quickly the sharp chisel rings ;

And the heart of the toiler has throbbings that stir not the bosom of kings.

ie the true ruler and conquerer, ho the true king of his race,

Who nerveth his arms for life’s combat, and looks the strong world in the face.

TO A SISTER.

BY EDWARD EVERETT.

Yes, dear one, to the envied train Of these around thy homage pay ; But wilt thou never kindly deign Yo think of him that’s far away ? Thy form, thy eye, thine angel smile, For many years I may not see ; But wilt thou not sometimes the while, My sister dear, remember me?

But not in Fashion’s brilliant hall, Surrounded by the gay and fair, And thou the fairest of them al] ,— O, think not, think not of me there! But when the thoughtless crowd is gone, And hushed the voice of senseless glee, And al] is silent, still and Jone, And thou art sad, remember me.

Remember me—but loveliest ne’er, When in his erbit fair and high, The tierning’s glowing chariotcer Rides proudly up the blushing sky ; But when the waning moonbeam sleeps At moonlight on that lonely lea, And nature's pensive spirit weeps In all her dews, remember me.

Remember me, I pray —but not

In Flora’s gay and blooming hour, When every brake hath found its note,

And sunshine smiles in every flower ; But when the falling leaf is sear,

And withers sadly from the tree, And o’er the ruins of the year

Cold Autumn weeps, remember me

Remember me—but not to join If haply some thy friends should praise ; *Tis far too dear, that voice of thine To echo what the stranger says, They know us not—but shouldst thou meet Some faithful friend of me and thee, Softly, sometimes, to him repeat My name, and then remember me.

Remember me—not, I entreat, In scencs of festal week-day joy, For then it were not kind or meet, Thy thought thy pleasure should alloy ; But on the sacred, solemn day, And, dearest, on thy bended knee, When thou for those thou lov’st dost pray, Sweet spirit, then remember me.

Remember me—but not as [ On thee forever, ever dwell, With anxious heart and drooping eye, And doubts ’twould grieve thee should I tell; But in thy calm unclouded heart, Where dark and gloomy visions flee, Oh there my sister, be my part, And kindly there remember me.

A PARADOXICAL EXPERIENCE.

It was certainly a dull, little dinner-party. Of the four guests two of us were men between fifty and sixty, and two of us were youths, between eighteen and twenty; and we had no subjects in common. We were all intimate with our host ; but were only slightly acquainted with each other. I think we should have got on better if there had been some ladies among us ; but the master of the house was a bachelor, and except the parlour-maid, who assisted in waiting on us at dinner, no daughter of eve was present to brighten the dreary scene. We tried all sorts of subjects, but they drop- ped in the most disastrous manner, one after theother. The elder gentlemen seemed to be afraid of committing them- selves by talking too freely within hearing of us juniors ; and we, on our side, restrained our youthful flow of spirits, and youthful freedom of conversation, out of deference to our host, who seemed once or twice to be feeling a little nervous about the continued propriety of our behaviour in the pre- |

SS ESS our resolution in getting through the bottles. The Port was of some famous vintage, I forget which ; the Madeira was forty years old; the Claret was a present from Bordeaux. As a matter of course, we talked wine. No company of Englishmen can assemble together for an evening without doing that. Every man in this country who is rich enough to pay income tax, has, at one time or other in his life, effected a very remarkable transaction in wine. Sometimes he has made such a bargain as he never expects to make again, Sometimes he is the only man in England, not a peer of the realm, who has gota single drop of a certain famous vintage which has perished from the face of the earth. Sometimes he has purchased, with a friend, a few last left dozens from the cellar of a deceased potentate, at a price so exorbitant that he can only,wag his head and decline mention- Ing it—and, if you ask his friend, that friend will wae his head and decline mentioning it also. Sometimes he has beon at an out-of-the-way country inn; has found the sherry not drinkable ; has asked if there is no other wine in the house ; has been informed that there is some “ sourish foreign stuff that nobody ever drinks ;” has called for a bottle of it; has found it Burgundy, such as all France cannot now produce ; has cunningly kept his own counsel with the widowed land.

Laboureth ever and ever with zeal through the moruing of |!ady, and has bought the whole stock for “an old song.”

Sometimes he knows’ the proprietor of a famous tavern in London; and he recommends his one or two particular friends, the next time they are passing that way, to go in and dine, and give his compliments to the landlord, and ask for a bottle of the brown sherry, with the light blue—as dis- tinguished from the dark-blue-seal. Thousands of people dine there every year, and think they have got the famous sherry when they have got the dark-blue-seal ; but—aud, by no means, let it go any farther—the real wine, the famous wine, is the light blue seal; and nobody in England knows it but the landlord and his friends. In all these wine-con- versations, whatever variety there may be in the various ex- periences related, one ef two great first principles is invariably assumed by each speaker in suceession. Hither he knows more about it than any one else—or he has got better wine of his own even than the excellent wine he is now drinking. Men can get together, sometimes, without talking of women, with- out talking of horses, without talking of polities; but they cannot assemble to eat a meal together without talking of wine ; and they cannot talk of wine without assuming to each one of themselves an absolute icfallibility in connection with that single subject, which they would shrink from asserting ia relation to any other topic under the sun. :

How long the inevitable wine-talk lasted, on the particular soclal occasion of which I am now writing, is more than I can undertake to say, I heard so many other conversations of the same sort, at go many other tables, that my attention wandered away wearily ; and I began to forget ail about the dull little dinner party, and the badly-assorted company of guests of whom I formed one. . How Jong I remained in this bot over-courteous condition of mental oblivion, is more than i cae tell. But when my attention wes recalled, in due dourse of time, to the little world around me, I found that the good wine had begun to do its good office. The stream of talk, on either side of the host’s chair, was beginning to flow cheerfully and continuously ; the wine-conversation had worn itself out; and one of the elder guests—Mr. Wendel! —was occupied in telling the other elder guest—Mr. Trow- bridge—of a smal! fraud which had been lately committed: on him by a clerk in his employment. The first part of the story I missed altogether. ‘The last part, which alone caught ly attention, followed the career of the clerk to the dock of the Old Bailey. “So, as I was telling you,” continued Mr. Wendell, « I made up my mind to prosecute, and I did prosecute, Thoughtless people blamed me for sending the young man to prison, and said [ might just as well have forgiven him, see- ing that the trifling sum of money [ had lost by his breach of trust was barely as much as ten pounds, Of course, per- sonally speaking, I would much rather not have gone into court; but I considered that my duty to society in general, and to my brother merchants in particular, absolutely com- pelled me to prosecute for the sake of example. I acted on that principle, and I don’t regret that I did so. The cir- cumstances under which the man robbed mo were particularly disgraceful. He was a hardened reprobate, sir, if ever there was one yet; and I believe, in my conscience, that he wanted nothing but the opportunity to be as great a villain as Fauntleroy himself.” At the moment when Mr. Wendell personified his idea of consummate villany by quoting the example of Fauntleroy, I saw the other middle-aged gentleman—Mr. Trowbridge— colour up on a sudden, and begin to fidget on his chair. “The next time you want to produce an instance of a villain, sir,” said Mr. Trowbridge, « [ wish you could con- trive to quote some other example than Fauntleroy.” Mr. Wendell, naturally enough, looked excessively astonished when he heard these words; whieh were very firmly aud, at the same time, very politely addressed to him. “May I enquire why you object to my example ?” he asked, “ T object to it, sir,” said Mr. Trowbridge, because it makes me very uncomfortable to hear Mauutleroy called a villain.’ ‘Good heavens above!” exclaimed Mr. Wendell, utterly bewildered, “ Uncomfortable !—you, a mercaatile man like myself—you, whose character stands so high everywhere— you uncomfortable, when you hear a man who was banged lor iorgery called a villain! In the name of wonder—why ?” “ Because,” answered Mr. Trowbridge, with perfect com- posure, “ Fauntleroy was a friend of mine.” “Excuse me, my dear sir,” retorted Mr. Weudell, in as polished a tone of sarcasm as he could command—* but of all the friends whom you have made in the course of your useful and honourable career, I should have thought the friend you have just mentioned would have been the very

t to whom you were likely to refer, ia respectable eociety at least by name.”

“ Fauntleroy committed an unpardonable crime, and died a disgraceful death,” said Mr. Trowbridge. “ But, for al! that, Fauntjeroy was a friend of mine ; and ia that character

sence of his respectable guests. To make matters worse, we | I shall always acknowledge him boldly to my dyingday. I had dined at a sensible hour. When the bottles made their|have a tenderness for his memory, though he violated a first round, sat dessert, the clock on the mantlepiece only| sacred trust, and died for it on the gallows.
