. M. S. C. I knew that we must part day after day ; I saw the dread Destroyer win his way; That hollow cough first rang the fatal knell, As on ray ear its prophet-warning fell ; Feeble and slow thy once light footstep grew, Thy wasting cheek put on death's pallid hue, Thy thin, hot hand to mine more weakly clung, Each sweet 'Good night' fell fainter from thy tongue; I knew that we must part no power could save Thy quiet goodness from an early grave; Those eyes so dull, though kind each glance they cast, Looking a sister's fondness to the last; Thy lips so pale that gently pressed my cheek, Thy voice alas! thou couldst but try to speak; All told thy doom, I felt it at my heart, The shaft had struck I knew that we must part. And we have parted, Mary thou art gone! . v Gone in thine innocence, meek-sufferirg

one. I Thy weary spirit breathed itself to sleep So peacefully, it seemed a sin to weep, In those fond watchers who around thee stood, And felt, even then, that God, even then was good. Like stars that struggle through the clouds of night, Thine eves one moment caught a glorious light, As if to thee, in that dread hour, 'twere given To know on earth what faith believes of Heaven ; Then like tired breezes didst thou sink to rest, Nor one, one pang the awful change confessed. Death stole in softness o'er that lovely face, And touched each feature with a new-born grace; On cheek and brow unearthly beauty lay, And told that life's poor cares had passed away. In my last hour be Heaven so kind to me, I ask no more than this to die like thee. But we have Darted. Mary thou art dead! On its last resting-place I kid thy head, Then by thy coffin-side knelt down, and took A brother's farewell kiss and farewell look; Those marble lips no kindred kiss returned; From those veiled orbs no glance respon sive burned; Ah I then I felt that thou hadst passed away, That the sweet face I gazed on was but clay; And then came Memory with her busy throng Of tender images, forgotten long; Years hurried, back and as they swiftly rol- - led, I saw thee, heard thee, as in days of old ; Sad and more sad each sacred feeling grew, Manhood was moved, and sorrow claimed her due, Thick, thick and fast the burning tear-drocs started, I turned away and felt that we had parted But not forever in the silent tomb, Where thou art laid, the kindred shall find room; A little while a few short years of pain, And one by one we'll come to thee again : The kind old Father shall seek out the place, And rest with thee, the youngest of his race ; The dear, dear Mother, bent with age and grief, Shall lay her head by thine, in sweet relief; Sister and Brother, and that faithful Friend, True from the first and tender to the end, All, all, in his good time, who placed us here, ' To live, to love, to die and disappear, Shall come and make their quiet bed with thee, Beneath the shadow of that spreading tree; With thee to sleep, through death's long dreamless night, With thee rise up. and bless the mornico BOW STREET, LONDON. Among the odd fish, who were caught by the watchmen in casting their nets on Friday night, was a Hibernian wag, of very seedy exterior, but possessing all the dry good humor and joke cracking disposition of his whiskey loving countrymen. On being put to the bar, the walchmnn was called on to state his charge, and this was done in a very few words. In fact, Mr. Butler, the detunu was found dead drunk, under the piazzas, in Covcnt Garden, at two o'clock in the morning. "Well," said Sir Richard, "how do you account lor your disorderly conduct?" Mr. B. (with a grin) O! faith, Sir Richard, I never was much an accountant, and if I was myself when I was dead drunk as the watchman says, what Pd be saying would'nl .do me much good, for dead men tell no tales. Sir R. What brought you in such a state ? Mr. B. I suppose I brought myself that way by drinking liquor. bir R. It would have been well if you had .iaken yourself home to bed. Mr. B.

Mr. B. Faith, I'm a prisoner,! believe. SirR. I mean how do you get a living? Mr. B. Through the blessing of Providence. Sir. R. Have you no trade? Mr. B. Is it me? the divil a trade. Sir 11. Were you brought up to no business? Mr. B. No by my soul, I was tenderly rared, and my education was my only patrimony. Sir R. That sort of money doesn't go far with a man of your inclinations. Mr. B. (with a laugh) 'Fore God you're right again; all the laming in the world is no use at the bar. I mane at the bar of a public house, unless you back it with the circulating medium. Sir R. I'm afraid you have been circulating your earnings through a very improper medium. Mr. B. Divil a truer word you ever spoke in vour life.

Sir R. If I let you go now, you'll "set off and get drunk again? Mr. B. I'll go bail I won't for I hav'nt a rap in the world; and so for my credit, it's like my coat worn out. SirR. I'm half disposed to try you. Mr. B. Not for tioplingl hope, your wor ship; for if you do I'm sure to be found guil ty. Sir R. You seem like a good-humored fellow. Mr. B. There's a pair of us your worship. Sir Richard lau-ihed, and told Mr. B. to go about his business and mend his ways. Mr. B. Before I go, I'll ask you one favor. Sir R. Well, what is it? Mr. B. Just give me a bit of a note to your countryman, Mr. M'Adam, as I despair of mending my own ways, perhaps he'll give me a job of mending the ways of others. Sir Richard again laughed, and bid him go out and wait, and he'd endeavor to put him in the highway to industry. Mr. B. shrugged his shoulders with good humour,and pulling up his unmentionables, trotted out of the office. The worthy magistrate subsequently gave him a letter, which would probably procure for him present occupation. Persevering Rat The following anecdote of a rat, has been related to us bv a lady, who vouches for its correctness: One winter evening, several years ago, she was alarmed by the screams of her youngest child, a girl about three years old, who slept in a small bed room over the pantry closet. She ran to her assistance, and on opening the chamber door, saw a large rat jump from the bed and run into a closet. The face and hands of the girl were besmeared with blood, and on examination it was found that the ends of all llie finders on one hand were gnawed off close to the nail. While she remained with the child dressing the wounds, the rat came out of Irs hole several times with the evident intention of finishing the supper he had so unceremoniously begun. The last time he seemed determined to dispute his passage with the mother, and only retired on the appearance of the husband who had at that moment come home. And even then he did not trouble himself to go very far, for he went just inside of the hole, and sat down probably with his back to the wall, as he kept his tail sticking out under the crack a few inches from the hole. The man, who loved a joke, immediately seized the tail with one hand, and applied the flame of the candle to it, as nigh the beginning as possi ble. Then commenced the lusr. The rati squcaiett and Kicked, and puued ueiore, and 11 T I I 1 1 1111 il the man giggled, and pulled behind, until llie rat, getting tired of such a warm lire in his rear, concluded to face his enemy. He accordingly turned round and putting his head out of the hole, seized the candle in his mouth, and decamped, leaving the skin of his tail in the hands of his adversary; who, moreover, was obliged to watch all night in fear that the rat, after having regaled himself with one end of the candle, would set fire to the house with the other, and run nii'oir hit inn inriir at it va mioninAt done, however, and the rat was never seen afterwards. Neio Bedford Gazette. DEACON SLOW. Deacon Slow had three sons it is not necessary to mention his daughters who were, as Deacon's sons are apt to be the duse only can tell why very roguish. They were in the habit of poking fun at an old ram, who endeavored to make his share of the sport by butting them over, a kind of fun which he often manifested a disposition to play off upon the Deacon, as he marched down to salt the flock; for these were duties to which he paid strict attention, as he was exceedingly humane, except when he was made very wroth, on which occcasion his anger would burn like a furnace seven times heated. Now the Deacoivs sheep pasture was tipon the Shawsheen river, which is narrow but deep, and the pasture terminated in a precipice which rose fifteen feet above the water, and shelved over it as a beetle bowed house hangs over a narrow street; and the boys, after they had exhausted all other fun upon the ram, were in the habit now and then of squatting at the edge of the precipice, and darting a hat at him, upon which he would come with blind fury thereat The boy who held the hat could easily leap aside, 1 - - 11 UU VIUIVI1 f WUi , i i... i 1 . n 1 J . . and tne exasperated rarn was quickly cooled : uy a piungo neauiong down tne precipice ! into the stream.

figure the silly sheep would make, bounding with a splash into the water he began tomile ; the ram at last came close on the fierce charge, more enraged than usual , as the hat was larger than common; the Deacon grinned outright, but in the midst of his delight, at the ram's ridiculous appearance, he forgot to jump aside, and the beast butted him over with a splash into that water where he meant the silly sheep should have gone. The boys ran out clapping their hands and shouting, "you've got it dad you've got it dad," in all the ecstacy of sweet revenge. Deacon Solomon Slow crawled out from his bath with a visage longer than he had ever worn before, lie was afterwards called Deacon Solomon by his neighbors, anions whom he lived and died at a vencrable age. The Seal. "About forty years ago a young seal was taken in the Clew Bay, and domesticated in the kitchen of a gentleman whose house was situated on the sea-shore. It grew apace, became familiar with the servants, and attached to the house and family; its habits were innocent and gentle, it played with the children, came at its mas ter's call, and, as the old man described him to me, was 'fond as a dog, and as playful as a kitten.' Daily the seal went out to fish, and, after providing for his own wants, frequently brought in a salmon or turbot to his master. His delight in summer was to bask in the sun, and in winter to lie before the fire, or, if permitted, creep into the large oven, which at that time formed the regular appendage of an Irish kitchen. For four years the seal had been thus domesticated, when, unfortunately, a disease, called in this country the crippawn a kind of paralytic affection of the limbs, which generally ends fatally attacked some black cattle bclonini; to the master of the house; some died, others became infected, and the customary cure produced by changing them to drier pasture failed. A wise woman was consulted; and the hag assured the credulous owner, that the mortality among his cows was occasioned by his retaining an unclean beast about his habitation the harmless and amusing seal. It must be made away with directly, or the crippawn would ;r,o Lr. t-o KA t . 4i 1, p, 1 . , consented to the hag's proposal; the seal was put on board a boat, carried out beyond Clare Island, and ihcre committed lo the deep, to manage for himself as lie best could. The boat returned, the family retired to rest; and next morning a servant awakened her master to tell him that the seal was quietly sleeping in the oven. The poor animal overnight came back to his beloved home, crept through an open window, and took possession of his favorite restingplace. Next morning another cow was reI portea to be unwell. The seal must now br W . ' " 0 was leaving Wcslport on her return home, and the master undertook lo carry on the seal, and not put him overboard until he had gone leagues beyond Innis Rodin. Jl was done a day and night passed; the second evening closed the servant was raking the fire for the niilit something scratched gently at the eloor it was of course the house-dog she opened it, and in came the seal! Wearied with his long and unusual j voyage, he testified bv a peculiar cry, ex pressive of pleasure, his delight to find himself at home, then stretching himself before the glowing embers of tin hpirih bo fidl IIV.UI III Ut.

To this hel lish proposition the besotted wretch who i owned the house consented, and the aflectionate and confiding creature was cruelly robbed of sight, on that hearth for which he hid resigned his native clement! Next morning, writhing in agony, the mutilated seal was embarked, taken outside Clare Island, and for the last time committed lo the waves. A week passed over, and things became worse instead of better; the cattle of the truculent wretch died fast, and the infernal lug gave him the pleasureable tidings that her arts were useless, and that the destructive visitation unon his cattle exceeded her skill and cure. On the Sih , . P . i , , , , t i night after the seal had been devoted to the Atlantic, it blew tremendously. In the pause of the storm a wailing noise at times was faintly heard at tiie door; the servants, who slept in the kitchen, concluded that the banshee came to forewarn them of an approaching death, and buried their heads in the bed-coverings. When morning broke, the door was opened; the seal was there lying dead upon the thrcshholdr' "Stop. Juliusl" I exclaimed, ugive me a moment's time to curse all concerned in this barbarism." "Be patient, Frank," said my cousin, "the finale will probably save you that trouble.
