THE STORM The rain fell thick and fast, : The storm-cloud brooded low, The night wind rang with a sudden blast Like the sound ofa coming foe, ore ne The billows scattered foam, The mountains waves were white; Ah! forthe ships that come sailing home From distant seas that night. God! didst thou hear the prayer, That rose from pallid lips ? Christ! as of old,didst thou meet them there— rhe wildly tossing ships? Phro’ all that weary night Her white and trembling hand, Held in the casement a flickering light To guide her love to land rhe sun rose o'er the town, And sparkled on the sea— The Storm King flung his sceptre down And peace reigned royally. The song bird thrilled a note, And warbled wild and free; Iwo idle oars and an empty boat Were drifting out to sea!

LITERATURE, ORR LEO LLL LLL Nene RATHARINE. A TALE OF WOMAN'S TRIALS. BY MES. BURBURY. It was a co'd, dreary morning. rhe | streets were black aud sloppy, for it had | * rained heavily the whole night; and now, although the storm had lulled, the bitter wind bad not had time to dry the pavement. All the prinsipal thoroughfares were quiet, for it was yet early, and the business of the day bad not commenced in the better parte of the town; bot in the docks, and the narrow wretched streets leading to them, life was busy and earnest enough. ‘n East Indias msn had come in the night before, and al- | though many of the paszengers hal lavded, | most of the cargoand some invalida were still on board. Notwithetanding the cold and damp, there was as large an assemblave of persons se usual collected on the quay to watch the voyagers and Juggare come on shore, and to critivize the pa’e faces of huge sea chests, as one by ove they made their appearence \t lest, when the grea’ ve:sel had given forth early all her living freight, and the g aers were growing weary and be-~ gnning to move away, a fair s'ig':t chi'd, ts all appearance soarcely thirteen years old, crossed from the ship, under the escort of on? of the offic:s, and took ber piace be- "| side a pile of logzoge, which en active sail |was depesiting upon the quay. She was lightly c ad; end the brim of ber great siraw hat bent and flapped in ths cold wind, whil ber delicate eummer cloak afforded no adis } quate prot: ction against the chill, raw air. Her clis'put ringlets hung loose about her face, avd as the gust blew them backwards and forwards, the child shivered and trem- b’ed. She was very pa'e, and the face had the wournful anzious leok, which, thank God, is seldom seen upon the countenance of childhood. Her features were very beaux titul, and notwithstauding the unvsua! ex- preston of recolution and firmness whieb | they wore, were swect and gantle toc. Wen she first came on shore, she cast a searching glance a'ong the row of men and women who lined the quay, asif a wild hope of meeting some answering eye bd sprunz up in ber heart; but in a moment after it was gone, and an expression of patient, though ratber proud endurance, replaced it.
