P R I N T C U T O F F A T E D G E TH E M A M A O S SONG. « <>li, cany me with thee, let me ride, My beautiful moon ; thy silver car Has prettily harness’d many a star ; Then carry me with thee by tliy side-—- Or, oh, let me sit upon thy beam— I’ll sing to the gallopping1 of thy team And shall we not ask yon sailing cloud, To wrap us around with her snow-white veil, It gracefully wantons in the gale, In being so near thee sweetly proud ; Oh, carry me with thee—as We go W e’ll laugh at the Weeping world below. Oh, carry me with thee ; I will twine, My beautiful moon, a wreath of flowers, And they shall be pluck’d in thy sweetest hours, When thy pretty glistening 1 ay doth shine, I’ll bind it round thy beautiful brow, Oh, carry me with thee—take me now.” The cadence dies—the song is o’er— The voice is still—’tis heard no more, And see—her slender Angers twine Each other ’cross her heaving breast, As if that pressure would confine Its throb'—and bid the tenant rest Within its mansion tranquilly. TH E G A M B L E R . AN KXTRACT. And I have Seen a wife at dead of night, W atching the dying embers on the hearth, And fancying every blast that swept along The poor deserted cottage on the moor, A drunken husband’s footsteps—and again, W hen it has died away, and left her heart, Eas’d by her disappointment— she has look’d Upon her sleeping babes and pray’d with tears They ne’er may know the agony she feels. And when at last he comes, with tot’ring steps And vile abuse to greet her faithful arms, Oh, I have mark’d her bosom's throbbing swell, As with a resignation worthy of heaven— She soothed his pillow, and with tones as sweet As ever mercy fidter’d, sooth’d his souL And I have seen her, 011 a wintry eve, Seeking her husband anvil the gambling’ throng, And with a prayer that would have drawn a saint from Paradise to hear—begg’d him full oft To spare her starving babes the means of life. Can man so far forget the dignity of his nature as tO give up the government of reason, bestowed upon him by God, and submit to be ied by degrading passions, participated with brutes ? But let us conclude our sad tale The unfor tunate man returned, something inebriated, at a late hour, and found his wife senseless on the floor. The shock restored some half lost, half recollected image through his bewildered brain. She was declar ed to be in a raging fever medical assistance was in vain ; lor the disease was one, which baffled all skill, and in the short space of a fortnight, she died broken hearted. No murmur escaped her lips, against the author of her misery, the destroy er of her happiness, the cause of her untimely death. Then it was that he fully awoke from his dream : then it was that every unkind word, every ungrateful look, thronged back upon him. and to the village, a noble mansion commanded my I harrowed up his soul; then it was that he uttered ; attention. Around it hung all the riches oflhe i the unheard groan and poured the bitter tear— season— it was delightfully situated, all spreading more bitter, because unheard and unavailing. seared— Then tbe scene is changed, and if there is ever a ray of sunshine lights up the scene, it is when an old gallant comes to ogle a few dull mo ments away— it gives them pleasure, because it creates a gleam of hope. Thus were the parties situated when I left the village, and occasionally I received a letter which served as a link to bind together many fond ideas in the chain of remembrance— to keep warm the feelings, and direct them in a proper chan nel, where they might revel and feast by the pow ers of retrospection, and grow dearer and still more dear, as I viewed more and more the cold selfishness of man. Finally one arrived con taining the m a rriage of Samuel; it was the last I received. Several years after, one bright summer’s day, when nature was all calm and serene, and the landscape all quiet, as I rode clown the main road SCH E NECTADY ACADEM Y . rP H F ' cou r s e o f instruction m the A c a d e * IXty has b e e n confined, for som e tim e p a s t to Classical Studies.
