&I5ol:?e and the fthost. . The air was calm, the sky serene, Clear shone the silver moon; Hodge musing view'd the silent scene, The village clock struck one. Swift homeward, ag his way he bent, lie simply hum'd a song; But mark'd no curling spire's ascent, Sleep hush'd the village thronj. The path that to his cottage led. Lay thro' the lone church yard; V"ith steps quick following on lie sped, And soon the spire appear'd. There o'er manyta brambl'd mould, And many a silent tomb, The sab'eyew tree cast around A venerable gloom. And oh! thought Hodge, as he drew near, How many a well known friend, Inhabits humble dwellings here, By death's supreme command. And deep reflections filled his mind, And gloomy terrors too; Poor tim'rous swain he look'd behind At every breeze that blew. And as the awful spot he reach'd, He cautious gaz'd around; When loud the cheerless night owl screech'd, Agaot Lo heard the sound. Yet strove to chase such idle fears, And stepp'd across the stile; When lo ! a spectre pale appears, No phantom did beguile. Thrice was its grissly form displayed, And thrice he saw it bow; lie stood amazed, and would have prayed, But ah! he knew not how.

Foor Hodge he called his sin3 to mind, And o'er their numbers run ; But nought within his heart cou'd find, Of ill to neighbor done. This raised his spirits, made him bold, And thus he thought aright Ghosts are but shadows, I've been told, I'll meet this daring sprite. And forward moved, and would have gone, But goblin rose again; His new got courage all was flown, His resolution, vain. He stopped, not knowing what to do, Yet, thinking in himself, If courage would, for once, prove true, He'd face the daring elf. . And tried, but sill his heart was faint, The spot he could not gain ; He thrice essayed, and gained his pointHe saw. and whence it came. A sheep which wandered from the fold, A new-dug grave too near, The mould'ring earth beneath it rolled, No saving shepherd there : Incessant strivings to escape , And liberty to gain, Oft upwards did the prisoner leap And still he strove in vain; "Which, by Diana's sily'ry rays, Met timid Hodge's eye, And filled the swain with wild amaze, Although he knew not why. The wond'roii3 mystery thus explained, And all his terrors lost, His humble cottage soon he gained, No more by spectres crost.

The ErcrlasSIss

Previous to the first revolution in France, m the ancient town of Amiens, among other marvellous curiosities, the stranger was certain of being edified with a sight of the holy candle, or everlasting taper, which had burned for two centuries in a dim niche of the moss grown church unwasting as the brilliance of a star shedding forever the same pale light upon the antique and fretted ceiling, on the haif ruined, but still gorgeous altar, whence a thousand misses had gone up for the quiet sleeping of those "whose places shall

know tnemno more forever." The stranger, while mingling with the crowd, who, on certain days, were allowed to witness the miraculous taper, might easily learn the story of its origin. From the corpulent monk to ihe lean and meagre artiztn, all knew it by heart. It is an odd narration, and would figure well in an improved edition of the doings of Faust's Mephistopoles. Two or three centuries ago there lived in the town a carpenter, by the ii a we of Christopher, a hard working hut poverty stricken mechanic. Finding his utmost exertions inadequate to the support of his family, he rsolved, and there was a good deal of worldly wisdom in his resolution, to better his fortune in this life, even if bv so doing he might fare somewhat worse in the next. Christopher, who was a punctual attendant on the church, had often I.earJ his pastor expatiate upon the exceeding power ol the arch enemy of man, and upon his willingness and abili y to reward with temporal riches those who yielded up to him the small

to speak with the master of the house. The nerves of Christopher shook for a moment for he thought of his infernal customer but resolving to prepare for the worst, and knowing that but half his lease had expired, he took the bond in his hand, and boldly sallied down stairs.

It was the Devil sure enough. There he sat sullenly on the wine cask "A towzy tyke, black, grim and large." He lifted his head as Christopher entered, and scowled on him through

hi3 shaggy eyebrows, like the glare of a comet through a. thunder cloud. "I am come for vou," he said.

Christopher held out his bond and laughed the Devil mocked him. uYou are mistaken 'tis but fifteen years as yet the lease is but half out." Again the Devil hughed, and a most infernal cacchination he made of it. i,You are mistaken," he returned, "fifteen years of days and fifteen years of nights, make thirty years, according to my arithmetic. So prepare yourself" It was in vain that Christopher remonstrated the Devil was inexorable. One request only the uall pitiless Demon" granted. His victim was allowed a brief half hour to bid his friends fircwell. With

a heavy heart Christopher ascended,

and told his friends of his misfortune. All were for a moment struck dumb with grief, not for the loss of Christopher, but for the loss of his excellent wine and delicate viand?. A plethoric little friar at length advised Chris-

REM'IRKS (XV MARRIAGE. The king of Saxony has issued a decree, forbidding young people to marry before they have completed their twenty-first year, under pain of fine and imprisonment. French paper. One of the most common events which follow the attainment of adult age, in both sexes, is marriage. But too oflen the female has not arrived at that adult age, and her health and future comfort are sacrificed cither to the inconsiderable vehemence of a rirl-

ish passion, or to the baser gratification of age desirous to unite itself with

youth, or to the cupidity of u parent, who is eager to get a daughter, as the term is, advantageously settled. The constitution in few women can be regarded as properly or firmly established before twenty-one years of age ; and, indeed, it would be advantageous to every woman, to pass her twenty-fourth or twenty-fith yearjbefore subjecting herself to the cares and fatigues which a married life necessarily impose. I

am well aware that this is a doctrine completely at variance with that ro

mance which too often governs the youthful mind. But it is to insure solid comfort instead of this little delusive sweetness, this enchantment, which distance spreads over the future, that the acquisition of experience i3 demanded to temper and rein in the fervor of youth. If a female marry before 21 her disposition lively, her temper ardent, and her love of novelty and pleas-

w 1

as the marriageable state? Were this altered, and young women impressed with the idea that marriage before the age of twenty-four or twenty five is both injuroua to health, and likely to hazard their future felicity, the passion which it now awakens perrr.aturely, would

seldom be indulged before the coastitu-

erly administered ; a reference to the success of our New York Infirmary, and the success of ignorant Cotanicsl physicians, prove this fact.
