THE MESSENGER DOVE. BY mas. sauna GRAY.

No rest for thy foot, oh Dove. Thou tnayest no further go, There’s an angry skv above, And a raging deep below : Though wildly toss the wearv ark— Thongh drear and dull its clmtnber ben- Return, return. ’tis a slwltcringlvarlt, And a resting-place for thee l

‘T'warvain to send thee forth, [‘0 two thy downy wing; From the drownetl and sunken earth, What tidings can’st thou brine ? Uh. thus the. human heart semis out Its pilgrims on a lonely track, And alter years,ot’ pain and doubt, Receives thetn wearied back I

No rest forthy foor, oh .' Hope, Sent forth on pinion fleet,

Though vale and sunny slope Lie spread beneath tliy feet;

There are tempests still oflearand scorn, To rend the plutnageoflhv breast— (‘.lotuls following on.and a pievcing thorn.

Where’er thy foot \vould rest.

No rest for thy foot, oh! Peace, ll' sent to find some leaf- Sign that earth‘s tempesls cease, And are dried her springs of grief: No rest for thee l—return, return I— The soulthat sent thee vainly forth. To keep thee safe must cease to yearn For the flowers antl toys of earth !

Least rest for thy foot. oh! Love, W'ith thy pinion pure and strong, All earth’s wild waters more To do thee deadly wrong. Back to the deep,fond heart,\vbose sighs Have all too touch of‘ pnssimt‘s leaven, And if thou must go lorth, arise On an angel’s wing to heaven I

AN IRISH ANSWER.

It may seem a matter of no extraor- dinary difficulty to give aplain answer to a plain question,and yet it is an art which evidently requires sotne trouble to learn. to all halt civilized bations the enquirer for the most simple thing is met by an enigma for an answer,and amongst the peasantry of Scotland and Ireland, civilized as the general communities tnay be, the system often seems to he studied invasion. This dialogue is the model of thousands in the sisterisles :—

‘ Is this the nearest road to (‘ork ?’

‘ Is it to Cork you are going 3’

‘ Yes, but my question is as to the nearest road 1’

‘ Why,this road is as near as that on the other side of the hill for neither of them is any road at all.’

‘ Then which way ought I to go 7.’

Oh, that depends on your honour’s own liking. Perhaps you would’nt like to go back again 2’ -

‘ Certainly not. But one word for all, tny good fellow; do you know any thing about any kind of roads here ‘I’

‘ There, now, it your honour, had ask- etl that before,I could have told yon at once '1’

‘ Out with it then.’

' Why,the truth is,your honour,thatI ama stranger in these parts--and the best thing you can do is to stand till some- body comes that knows all about the way ’I'

‘ Stupid sconndrel! why did you not say so at first ?’

'Stupid !that’s all my thanks. But why did not your honor ask rue ill be- longed to this place,andthat would have settled the business. Takea fool’s advice and stop where you are.

“ I’ve got a bidding-mast you,” as the wood-pecker said to the apple- tree.

( PLEASANT.—-Il is pleasant to see a man smile anti bow as you pass, whom you itake for a friend whose name you cannot irecall, and Just as you have returned the ,complitnent, as you supposed, to find that his courtesy was intended for another gentlemanjust behind you.

Love is a blind emotion, which does not always suppose merit as its object. yet it is far more flattering to a handsome woman. to be beloved by a man of merit, than to be adored by a fool.
