Her hands are cold, her face is white ; No more her pulses come and go; Her eyes are stint to life and light: Fold the white vestares, snow on snow, } And lay her where the violets blow. The grey old trees of hngest limb | the landing | Shall wheel their circling shadows rornd, To make the scorching sunlight dim— That drink the greeness from the ground, And drop their dead leaves on her mound. | When o’erthe boughs the squirrels run, And through the leaves the :obins call, And, ripening in the antamn sun, The acorns and the chesnnts fall, Doubt not that she will heed them all. For her the morning choir shall sing Its matius from the branches high, Aud every minstrel voice of Spring, That thrills beneath the April sky, Shall greet her with its earliest ery. At last the rootiets of the trees Shall find the prison Where sbe lies, And bear the buried dust they seize In leaves and blossoms to the skies; So may the soul that warmed it rise! If any, born of kindlier blood, Should ask what muiden lies below ; Say only this,‘ A tender bud, That tried to blossom in the snow, Lies withered where the violets blow.” THE CASTILE BUILDER. | A gentle boy, with soft and silken locks, A dreamy boy, with brown and tender eyes, | A castle-builder, with his wooden blocks, And towers that touca imaginary skies, A fearlese rider on his father’s knee, An eager listener unte stories told : At the Round Table of the nursery, Of herves and adventures wanifold. There will be other towers for thee to build; There will be other steeds for thee te ride; There will be other legends, and all filled With greater marvels and more glorified. Build on, and make thy castles high and fair, Rising and reaching upward to the skies ; Listen to voices in the upper air, Nor loge thy simple faith in mysteries. * A STRANGE AFFAIR.

If so, she must have emerged from the little room, now so sedu- ‘lousy closed, which also had a door opening \frou. the landing. [can scarcely say with _whatsarprise I saw no one on steppingout on But to be convineed, | ran up | stairs and explored the upper storey. Nota } soul was there—-the chambers all dark, silent /and quiet. 1 came down like one in a dream ; | and meeting Kate, inquired if she had seen the wowan, describing the circumstances. | *No,° said Kate, coolly. ‘I only see } shadows not women in clouded gowns. bably it was some trick of light. | , | | with some heat, hut [had a distinet impression of the woman. ‘I could swear to her anywhere!’ | * So you, tuo, have impressions ?’ said Kate, meaningly. | And L’ was conscious of a second chill. About this time, [ remembered also the hysterical lady, with sympathy. 1 began to understand that, under certain circumstances, 1 might be hysterical too. On the following evening was a gale, and the wind certainly behaved about that house in a manner that I have never, seen equalled | since. It not only burst heavily against the walls, shook bard at the casements, and moaned about the chimneys. There was a harmony—-a complete harmony of vuices— wild and unearthly, but not witvout a certain sweetness, broken in upon at short intervals by a long, shrill, piereing whistle, that it was difficult not to believe it human. On such a night, we sat, of coarse, close about the drawing-room stove, making ourselves as cozy as possible ; bat | saw thy.t one and then another broke of conversation to listen. | + T have a fancy,’ said Alf,‘ that I hear steps overbead,-end the violent slamming of a dvor !’ And it turned out that we all had fancied the same thing. Alf suggested that a window was onen, and went up to find and shut it: came down in a few moments, looking pale, it struck me, and sat down silently by the fire ‘ How about the window ?’ asked Kate. Alf started ‘The window!—ob! There was none open.’ ‘ But | hear the noise just as before,’ per- sisted Kate, ‘above all the uproar outside. No door could slam persistently hke that, unless there were somewhere a powerful draught.’ Kising, as she spoke, to go up-stairs, Alf | seized her by the arm. | + Don't go, Kate.’ ‘Why aot? The noise teases me, I am sure there is eomething open. You men are blind as bate about such things.’ And she made a second attempt to go, but the young man held her firmly. * Kate, you shall nut go, at leest without I tell you there is no window as much heavy steps sounded just in front of me; and | before reaching the duor, it swung opeo and ‘The party that hired it,’ the agent in- closed instantly and violently in my face Under these agreeable circumstances, | made the tour of the entire upper storey, these plea- sant phenomena repeating themselves all the they moved back to town on @ sudden, and way.

Our first trouble was with Georgie, | as hysterical as the agent's ‘other party.’ We found nothing. It was then proposed to question the ser- 'vants; by remembering the ease with which [the ignorant and impressionable natures catch a superstitious panic, the ‘proposition was negatived. ‘We'll keep our ghosts like our other visitors in the drawing-room,’ said my hus band. As he spoke, we were all at the foot of the stairs. A cold wind blew upon us; a dark shaaow fell about us, with a swift rush the cold breath passed between us, through our very midst. Nota yard from us, we heard steps echo on the marble flagging, recede, and go slowly down the basement stairs. We stood listening, and staring blankly at each other; then with a thrill 1 remembered Georgie. ‘Ob! said Kate, with ahysterical laugh ; ‘he is well enough! Dont you see it has gone down stairs?

He had worked bard, and had made hie for- tune by his own exertions; therefore he thought he had a right to'spend it in his own way. He had risen frou a very humble position in life, and knew all the bardships and trials which lie in the road to fortune This knowle¢ge made him very thoughtful of those who were enga throuzh which he had passed. juss what they were encountering, and his money had not made bim cold and éelfish He bad a great, warm heart, aod nv one ever appealed to it in vain. 4 Mr. Burdett’s friends said he had not learned caution with experience. a use of bis money they thought. estimation he gave without discrimination ; and some of hie triends undertook to remon- strate with him, and assured him that if he did not refuse oftener to aid those who songht him be would find his money slipping away * faster than he made it.’ Mr. Burdett smiled pleasantly as he lis- tened to them, and then pointing toa passage in gn open Bible, which lay by him, repeated in reply : * ‘Never turn thy face away from any poor man, and the face of the Lord shall net be turned away from thee.’ ’ ‘ Oh,’ they exclaimed, ‘ if you argue in that way, we have nothing more to say.’ So Mr. Burdett quieted the remonstrances of bie friends, and ymdicated his own conduct. It vas always a pleasure to him to give, and oe that he did not wish to deprive himself of. One morning be was sitting in his office, conversing with a friend, who was aleo merchant, when @ young man entered and presen.ed a lester of introduction from the city. He eai Mr. Burdett that he had come to ask the loan of a sum of money to enable him to start into business. He un- folded his plang with clearness and precision, and gave the merchant excellent references in the city. Mr. Burdett told him that he wou|d think over the proposition, and asked him to call the next morning for an answer. ‘Surely, Burdett,’ eaid his friend, when the yourg man had gone, ‘you dun't mean to compl with that young fellow’s request ? ‘L think I ehall,’ replied Mr. Burdett. ‘1. like the young man’s looks.’ ‘But he dosen't offer anything like good security.’ ‘I will take his note, and ask no ether pledg,’ said. the merchant, quietly, ‘Heavens, man! You do business on a most unusual plan, You're running a great risk. Think how inexperinced and young this man is.’ ‘Tiss youth will give him energy, and that will make up tor any deficiency of experience. Wher I was a young man I would have given @ greet deal to have found a friend willing to assist me in this way.’ ‘Of course you will manage your business your own way, said the gentleman, laughing, as he rose to go; ‘but I think it a must un- safe transaction.’ ‘I do not,‘ said Mr. Burdett. ‘On the contrary, | regard it as a@ very good invest- ment.’ During the day Mr. Burdett saw the gen- tlemer, to whow be j.ad been referred by Mr. Watkins, as the young man was named, He received from all of them the movi favorable report’. The next morning Mr, Watkins called, and received an affirmative answer. and the business for which he wanted it was to be ly@ated in a distant city. The money was to be returned in six years, or sooner, #f Mr. Watkins wae able. Mr. Burdett simply took the young man’s note, telling tim he wanted no endorser. Mr. Watkins received the money, and ina few da'ys sturted for the city in wkich he wished 'te commence hie undertaking. He went to work wanfully and faithfully, and from the first his efforts prospered, His suc- cess waiiso marked and decided, that in three years hv was able to return to Mr. Burdett the amcunt borrowed from bim. In the re- | ply to his letter, Mr. Watkins found achegue from M}. Burdett for the interest on the loan. | He decined to receive it, he said, as the | pleasure! it had given him to assist the young wan way ample compensation. The sis years which Mr. Watkins had re- garded ais the time necessary to confirm his |success sped fapidly away.

The six years had not dealt so 'generousiy with Mr. Burdett. He was gett- ing old ‘now, and he lovked forward with pleasure to the prospeet of reciring from be- 'siness in| a few years.

(Frem the Scottish American Journal. of Nao York.)

Every effort bas been made by the Fenian advocates to get him to commit hiuself te some Ile made too free expression favourable te the brotherhood. This In their | 48 dune west. pomtediy and directly at the Bt. Patrick's celebration in New Youk. The Knighte of St, Patrick who were Mr Maguire's entertainers on the oceasion referred to, listened to bisa very patiently while he discoursed to then in & modest aad ‘sensible way as te the prospects of Retera in Lreland ; but finding that be had no anathemas, from beginaing te end of hie diseourse, te fling at the British Government, the Knights finally inter- rupted him with the ery ef Fenians!’ . Phus ap- pealed to, Mr. Maguire said: ‘He bad one coarse alone to pursue, and they would despise him if for the purpose ef catching their momentary applause he seemed to agree with what he did not honestly believe. He had not said one werd there that he would not honestly vindicate by bia acts and policy in the sphere in which his constituepte had placed him,’ As to the course he and his Liberal colleagues had thonght fit to follow in the House of Com- mons, Mr. Maguiresaid: ‘He had;together with the popular members trom Ireland, saanciated with the great massof the Pritish people, and with their trosted leaders, who are two of the thost distinguished menjof the age—Gladetone and Bright. The Irish allie speaking tureugh their representatives, give their aid and assistance to the English people to obtain for them something like the full measure of Reform to which they have a just claim and right. And he believed that, net only from the pressure to which he bad referred, but also from the gratitude to whieh hie own and hie associates’ services had a strong claim, Ireland without shedding a drop of human blood, or without the slightest injury to a human being, would receive an amelioration of its condi- tion, and above and beyond all, that which would give the peasantry of Lreland that to whieh they had aright and a clain—a hold on the land, and a security for the fruits of their honest industry.’ Only thesé who know what kind of oratory ia usually served up at the festivals, to tickle the ears of the groundlings, can well appreciate the imvral courage which is necessary tu enable one to speak in the honest, manly strain adopted by Mr. Maguire. bs OI Os ns tees A SAD STORY. A CHILD SMOTHERED TO DEATH. There is vething se wuch dreaded by the hu- tran race as the dreadful disease of hydrephobia. Webster gives the definition of the word hydre- phobia as a “ preternataral dread of water; a syinptom of canine madness.” The disease ia not alone caueed by the bite of a mad dog, but may be caused by the bite of any other animal afflicted with the horrid disease, A short time since a daughter of Alfred Wood- ruff, who resides ia the town of Greenfield, about seven miles from Detroit, was slightly bitten by a dog, and for a day or two complained of the pain caused simply by the bite. "The sere partially Sealed over, however, and no more attention was paid tothe matter. Jo a short time, however, the virus whieh had been communicated by the dog ty ber system commenced its deadly work, and the poor suffering child soon become raving wad. Her cries became heartrending, and ber appeals for death, for anything to end ber toe- ture, frightful. Everything that seiepce and skill could do, was done for the little @mé, but there ) she lay upon ber bed of anguish, bound with cords, | suffering what no pen can describe, yet evineing in her maduess a desire to injure those who loved iher best.

Whe can picture the feelings of the dear little one’s frends a8 the announcement was made that she must die?
