THE END OF THE PLAY,

The play is done; the eartain drops,

Slow falling to the prompter’s bell; A moment yet the actor stops,

And looks around, to say Farewell! {t is an irksome work and task ;

And, when he's laughed and said his say, He shows, as he removes the mask,

A face that’s anything but gay.....

Who knows the inserutable design ? Biessed be He who took and gave! Why should your Mother, Charles, not :nine, Be weeping at her darling’s grave ! We bow to Heaven, that willed it so, That darkly rules the fate of all, That sends the respite or the bow, That's free to give or to recall ....

So each shall mourn, in life’s advance,

Dear hopes, dear friends, untimely killed ; Shall grieve for many a forfeit chance,

And longing passion unfulfilled. Amen! whatever fate be sent,

Pray God the heart may kindly glow, Although the head with cares be bent,

And whitened with the wiater snow.

Come wealth or want, come good or ill, Let young and eld accept their part, And bow before the Awful Will, And benr it with an honest heart. Who misses, or who wius the prize! Go, lose or cou But Be each, pray God, a geutleman. TiHiACKERAY.

By some he was said to have joined these wanderers out of love for a givl of the gang, others said be had been a soldier among the Royalists, and had been bribed by the Parliamentarians to try to cap- jture the fugitive priace; and many other / rumours were current in the island concern- ‘ing him. Probably most of these rumours were only originated after the occurrence | an going to tell you; but one thing is pretty certain, that he was a man of great determi- ‘nation, aud, whether actuated solely by hatred of Charles, or by this feeling and ‘ambition combined, that he was no stranger ‘te him. ' [ should mention here that what [ am about to relate came to my knowledge while examining a great chest of paper, which was left by my wile’s father, who was one of the jurors of the (sland.

Charles himself wanted to dance with her once, but he has got some cirelul guardians he is too much afraid of to disobey, who objected. never wants tools, and there is a young fel- low among the soldiers wio has asked her repeatedly to come up, on the nights when he is on du'y — which is pretty often, ou account of the smalloess «.f the garrison—as Charles is anxious to see her dance in his private apartment.’
