It’s here we get mony a foretaste o’ heav’n, An’ pleasures richt mony, I troo, But I maun declare there’s nocht to compare Wi a kiss frae a bairnie’s mou’. Sae sweet, oh, sae sweet ! are the wee hinied lips*— Like rose-petals wet wi’ the dew ; While wee han’ies clasp roun yer neck like a hasp, To reach ye the wee rosy mou. Langsyne—as we read—when the Maister himsel’, To His bosom the wee lambies drew— I canna help thinkin’ He'd kiss ane an’ a’, An’ pree ilka rosy wee mou. I see them, methinks, wi’ their wee tousie heids, An’ scant in their cleadin’, maybe, While shaeless an’ sockless, nae less, the wee feet That danced on the kind Maister’s knee. Sad, sad were the days oor dear Lord spent on earth, The pleasures he had were but few ; But a glow from aoon would come back to His heart As He kiss'd ilka rosy wee mou.” Oh, man, brither-man! wi’ fause pleasures misled, An’ the keel-mark o’ Cain on thy broo,” Gin ocht oot o’ heav’n that stain could efface It’s the kiss frae a wee bairaie’s mou’. Then clasp to thy bosom some guileless wee wean, An’ gaze in its twa een o’ blue ; An’ like me ‘ye'll confess there is nae blessed- ness Like the kiss frae a Lairnie’s mou’. Jist ae ither word—it’s the will o’ the Lord, That they wha His fcllowers be— When tempted an’ tried in his love should confide, Like the wee tots that danced on His knee. JAMES NICHOLSON, THE PIRATE. By Sir Walter Scott. ———— - CHAPTER XXI1TI. (Contisvued ) As these cruel thougiits crossed her mind, she could not refrain from straining her sister so Close to her bosom, tliat, afver a heavy sigh, Brenda awoke. ‘* Sister,” she said, ‘‘is it you?—-1 dreamed I lay on one of those monuments which Claud Halcro described to us, where the efligy of the inhabitant beneath lies carved in stone upon the sepulchre. I dreamed such a marble form lay by my side, and that it suddenly acquired enough of life and anima- tion to fold me to its cold, moist bosom—and it is yours, Minna, that is indeed so chilly. You are ill, my deurest Minna! for God’s sake let me rise and call Uphane Fea.—What ails you? has Norua been here again ?” **Call no one hither,’, said Minna, detaining her ; ‘‘ nothing ails me for which any one has a remedy—nothing but apprehensions of evil worse than even Norna could prophesy. But God is above all, my dear Brenda; and let us pray to Him to turn, as he only can, our evil into good.” They did jointly repeat their usual prayer for strength and cee from on high, and again composed themseives to sleep, suffering no word save “God bless you,” to pass betwixt them, when their devotions were finished; thus scrupulously dedicating to Heaven their Jast waking words if human frailty prevented them from com- manding their last waking thoughts. Brenda slept first, and Minna, strongly resisting the dark and evil presentiments which again be- gan to crowd themselves upon her imagina- tion, was at last so fertunate as to slumber also, The storm which Halcro had expected be- gan about daybreak—a squall, heavy with wind and rain, such as is oftea felt, even dur- ing the finest part of the season, in these lati- tudes. At the whistle of the wind, and the clatter of the rain on the shingle-roofing of the fishers’ huts, many a poor woman was awakened, and called on her children to hold up their little hands and join in prayer for the safety of the dear husband and father, who was even then at the mercy of the dis- turbed elements. Around the house of Burgh Westra chimneys howled and windows clashed. The props and rafters of the higher parts of the building, most of them formed out of wreck-wood, groaned and quivered, as fearing to be again dispersed by the tem- pest. But the daughters of Magnus Troil continued to sleep as softly «and as sweetly as if the hand of Chantrey had formed them out of statuary marble. The squall had passed away, and the sunbeams, dispersing the cleuds which drifted toleeward, shone full through the lattice, when Minna first started from the profound sleep into which fatigue and mental exhaustion had lulled her, and raising herself on her arm, began to recall events which, after this interval of profound repose, seemed almost to resemble the baseless visions of the night. She almost doubted if what she recalled of horror, previous to her starting from her bed, was not indeed the fiction of a dream, suggested, perhaps, by some external sounds, ‘‘T will see Claud Halcro instantly,” she said; ‘he may know something of these strauge noises, as he was stirring at the time.” With that she sprung from bed, but hardly stood upright on the floor ere her sister ex- claimed : ‘* Gracious Heaven! Minna, what ails your foot—your ankle?” She looked down and saw with surprise, which amounted to agony, that both her feet, but particularly one of them, was stained with dark crimson, resembling the color ef dried blood. Without attempting to answer Brenda, she rushed to the window, and cast a desperate look on the grass beneath, for there she knew she must have contracted the fatal stain. But the rain, which had fallen there in treble quautity, as well from the heavens, as from the eaves of the house, had washed away that guilty witness, if indeed such had ever existed. All was fresh and fair, and the blades of g*ass, overcharged and bent with rain drops glittered like diamonds in the bright morning sun. hile Minna stared ypon the spangled verdure, with her full dark eyes fixed and enlarged to circles by the intensity of her terror, Brenda was hanging abobt her, and with many an eager enquiry, pressed to know whether or how she had hurt herself. ** A piece of glass cut through my shoe,” said Minna, bethinking herself that some excuse was necessary to her sister; ‘‘ I scarce felt it at the time.” ** And yet see how it has bled,” said her sister. ‘‘ Sweet Minna,” she added, approach- ing her with a wetted towel, “ let me wipe the blood off—the hurt may be worse than you think of.” But as she approached, Minna, who saw no other way of preventing discovery that the blood with which she was stained had never flowed in her own veins harshly and hastily repelled the proffered kindness. Poor Brenda, unconscious of any offence which she had given to her sister, drew back two or three paces on finding her service thus unkindly refused, and steod gazing at Minna with looks in which there was more of surprise and mortified affection than of resentment, but which had yet something also of natural dis- pleasure.
