Come Inspiration from thy hermit seat, By mortals seldom found V
selected. TO TIME. O thou, whose awful wings unfurled, Across the waste of darkness brood, And sweep along the subject vorld With desolating progress rude! Wby wend'st thou on thy dreary flight, So swiftly down the stream of years, Dark in thy course as death and night, And heedless of thy victim's tears. Sweep on. sweep on! thine awful course Soon, soon shall end in fearful gloom, And thy last echoes wild and hoarse, Be heard o'er nature's final tomb! Then must thou curb the daring wing, And furl thy pinions in dismay; Creation's dying shriek shall sing The dirge, that tells thy fading day. Child of eternity! once more Shalt thou take refuge.in its breast, And on that undistinguished shore, Thy glories and thy power shall rest! Lost in the wild and boundless sea, That ne'er may feel or tide or fTw, What hope shall then remain to thee, Stretched by the latest tempest's blow. Secure from thee and all thy powers, Shall man pursue the endless years; Whi n bliss shall crown his glorious hours, Or darkness whelm him with her fears. Eternity of joy shall bloom Throughout his boundless, endless reign; E'er hell shall ope her central gloom, A long eternity of patu! E

FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE. CHAPTER THE LAST. cWhy does he mourn, or rage in anger, since
'"Twill be the same less than a century hence?" Our heroes are now, what our lawyers,
would call, at issue going to risk their hon
our, their virtue, and their lives, in that deformed and horrible favourite of fashion, a
duel as if the fire of a pistol could extin
guish the fire of love ; as if a brace of bullets thr ugh the head could make honourable
amends for a wound in the heart.
The nig it came it was dark and dismal
large black clouds lay scattered in huge
piles along tne sky no moonlight was shed across the heavens not one little star gave cheerfulness and variety to the brooding shadows of evening. A few streaks of quick, rapid lightning would sometimes run along the edge of the larger clouds, exposing the
grand and gloomy magnificence of the scene.!
1 hen the rumbling thunder growled sullenly, and all around seemed doubly dark. On earth every thing was as melancholy and black as above. Darkness shrouded all things in its mantle of gloom. Sometimes the breeze would sweep along the streets, whirling clouds of dust high in the air then all would be motionless and slug
gishly still and the last mournful sigh of the wind would die sullenly away, and the dust gradually settle down into its repose,1 and nothing would be heard save the hasty steps of some startled traveller, impatient to escape the melancholy forebodings of the impending storm. It had been agreed upon by the young men to go together once more, and pay a farewell visit to the subject of their quarrel. Arm in arm they entered her dwelling, as if nothing had happened. They had determined to remain there only ten minutes,
and to excuse themselves on the plea of another engagement. She joked with them as usual, but it would not do. She spoke to them, but her remarks passed by unanswered. If there is language in the looks, she might have read something unusual in their long gaze; but if she did observe it, she deemed it unworthy of notice, and made no comment. It might be as unpleasant, as it would be
a difficult task, to describe the feelings of
xieury ana vviuiam, wnne they moved in the presence of one from whom a few moments might part them for ever. There is something very melancholy in the idea of being separated from any one for ever, and on all such occasions sad reflections throng upon the mind. Farewell, in its lightest sense, is but a mournful word .no matter how applied, or to whom but farewell for ever is the soell that makes th
lip quiver, and moistens the eye with tears that forces the heart to beat, and smothers the word of agony that rises in the throat.
1 remember when I was leaving my old boarding-school, a hundred miles from mv
present dwelling, there was a large, square
table-rock, near the school-room door, overshadowed with young cedar trees, and upon the summit of a gentle declivity, so as to command a view of the little village, and the old cluster of oaks, and the locust grove, and the broad, beautiful river, winding its way far off, and gleaming in the brightness
of the summer sun.
I was a very little boy at the time. It was more than thirty years ago but I went to my favourite rock, and wept over the beauty that would bloom for me no more. I looked back twenty times as I left it; and though many years of dark adventure have since passed, I can vet look back upon that
old rock, with its little grove of trees, its
rough, ruggea shape, and the tranquil peace
that reigned around. If, then, the heart is so susceptible of anguish on slight occasions, what must they have felt at the idea of part
ing on such an event, and from such a being?
Suffice it to sa they drank in every sound
of her voice, and remembered every action and word she had performed or uttered, till
the fleeting moment of their stay passed on,
and they left her.
They retired to their respective lodgings, each with the firm, but foolish, determina
tion, that they would sooner die than yield anv thing to the haughtiness of the other.
The night was storny, and no sleep came to the eyes of the two victims of fashionable
honour. I he wind raved around the win dows till they rattled fiercely in their loos
ened frames. The thunder now rolled in
louder peals, and crashed and roared imme
diately over their heads the lightning was more vivid and terrific, and at every Hash
the rain poured down in streaming torrents, as if the earth was about to be deluged at once in the whole vapoury ocean of the sky. I cannot say for truth, but I have no dcubt
the cogitations of my heroes, during this tern
pest, were of no very enviable nature. Be
that as it may, the morning at length arriv
ed, and Henry was early oh the ground ; he waited not long, for William and his friend
arrived soon after, and the preparations be
gan. The pistols were loaded, and great,
long, black, abominable looking things they
were. They looked wicked as Satan, and
both the gentlemen cast a side-long glance
at them while they were calmly receiving
the powder and hall that might prove their
rum. 1 hen the paces were marked off, and
though Henry offered to do it himself, prob
ably because he had the longest legs, the
seconds would not allow it; and every thing
was orderly arranged lor the two "wise
young men" to murder each other sccundem artem. They were to fire at a given signal, and the second had lifted his arm in the fatal motion, when a man came running up, almost breathless, who was recognised to be Pompey, the black servant of Henry "For heaven's sake," he exclaimed, "stop for one moment." "What brought you here sir?" said his master, in an angry voice. "1 came to save your life. I heard you talk, last night, about this gentleman, and pistols, and Miss Percival, and I began to suspect that you were going to get into some scrape like this." "Well, sir, be quick, or leave the ground." "Yes sir, I will be quick, sir. So I began to think you were going to fight a duel." "You began to think you had no business to think any thing about the matter." "No, sir; and I never would have said or done any thing about it, if 1 had not thought, sir, you were fighting with somebody about Miss Percival." "How dared you suppose any such thing, you saucy rascal, and what made you think so?" "Why, sir, I know Dick black Dick, sir, that lives at Mr. PercivaFs house generally called Snowball and he told me he thought as much." "You insolent rascal, what business have you, or Dick, or any other person, to inter
meddle in an affair like this? What is it to
you if we were to fight for Miss Percival?"
Pompey grinned so as to show his teeth from ear to ear. "Why, you black villian," said William, "what do you mean? What areyou laughing at?"
"Why, there is no use," Pompey said "of
lighting lor Miss Percival.'' "Why, why?" said both at once. "Because there is no Miss Peicival in the world." "Why, what's the matter? Is she sick? Is she dead?" said Henry, turning pale. "No better than that." "What? Tell me quickly." "Well, then, she is" "What?" "Married."
"Elizabeth Percival married?" said Will
iam. "Elizabeth Percival married?" echoed Henry. "When?" "Last night." The pistols dropped to the eround, and
the faces of the combatants were turned to
wards each other. They were pale and red by turns, and for a moment all was silent
