Lady Byron's Reply to Lord Byron's "Fare-thee-Weil."

Most readers are familiar with the beautiful lines written by Lord Byron to Lady Byron soon after their separation. The following answer, in reply, by her, is tonchingly beautiful, and proceeds from a heart

crushed by sorrow Yes, farewell I farewell forever 1 Thou, tliyselt, hast fix'd our doom, Bade hope's sweetest blossoms wither, Never more for nie to bloom.

.''.Unforgiving" thou hast called merrJDidst thou over say ' forgive V" For the wreU'h whose wiles enthrall'd thee, Thou didst seem alono to live.

Short the span which time hath given To complete thy love's decay ; By unhallowed passions driven, Soon thy heart was taught to stray. Lived for me that fesling tender, Which so well thy verse can show, From my arms why didst (hon wander, My endearments to ibrcgo? Wrapt in dreams of joy ahid in;;, On thy breast my head halh lain, In thy love and truth confiding : Bliss I cannot know again. When thy heart, by me ''glanced over," First displayed the guilty stain, Would these eyes had closed forever, Ne'er to weep thy crimes again. But by Heaven's recording spirit, May that wish forgotten be : Life though now a load I'd bear it For the babe I've born to thee. In whose lovely features (let me All my weakness here confess, While the struggling tears permit me,) All her father's I can trace. His. whose imago never leaves me, Whose remembrance yet I priafe, Who this bitterest feeling gives me Still to love where 1 despise. Willi regret and sorrow rather, When our chilli's first accents flow, I shall teach her to say "Father," But his guilt she ne'er shall know. Whilst, to-morrow and to-mon-ow Wake me to a widowed bed, In another's arms no sorrow : Wilt thou fuel no tear wilt shed. For the world's applause I sought not, When I tore myself from thee; Of ils jii-iiso or blame I thought not What's its praise or blame to nie ? He in whom my soul delighted From his heart my image drove, With contempt my soul requited, And preferred a wanton's love. Thou art proud : and mark me, Byron, I've a soul proud as, thine own, Soft to love, but hard as iron, When despite on me is thrown. But, farewell ! I'll not upbraid thee, Never, never wish thee ill, Wretched tho' thy crimes have made mo, If thou canst be happy still.

THE PRISONER'S CHILD. lir MRS. M. A. DENNISOH. :. It was early in the morning. ; "Is this the way to Sing Sing?" "Yes," roughly replied a brown-faced countryman, and passed on. It was afternoon. The child was somewhat fragile in appearance. Her bonnet was of broken straw; her shoes were much torn; the sun played hotly on hertender forehead. She walked on, and on, an hour longer. "Is this tho way to Sing Sing?" "Yes, my little girl; but what are vou troinf therefor?" The child trudged on, her lip quivering, but not deigning to answer the pleasant-faced old man who had stopped the jogging of his horse to note her hurried manner, and who liked that little face, anxious and sad as its expression was. The dew had fallen. Katy had fallen, too, al

most. A rough stone by the way, imbedded in moss, received her tired frame. She looked so weird and aged, sitting there, her tangled hair falling on the hands that were clasped over her face. By the shaking of her face, the tears were coming, too, and she was bravely trying to hold them back. "Why! What is this dear little o-irl doin' here?" b The exclamation came from a pair of eager young lips. "A curiosity! I declare!" exclaimed a harsher voice, and Katy, looking up suddenly, cowered away from the sight of the pretty young girl and her agreeable-looking companion. "What are you doing here, little girl?" asked Nell May wood, moving a litllu nearer toward the frightened child. "Going to Sing Sing," said Katy, in a scared way.' . "JJiilJyou ever, George! the child is mjintr to

Sing Sui.;; why it's ten miles oil ! Child, did you know it was so far oil ?" Katy shook lur head and wiped away the hot and heavy tears one by one. "Why, you poor 1 1 tile goose! What are you going to Sing Sing for? Have you had yourRuppcr?" Katy shonk her head. "Have you had any dinner?" Again the sad child shook her head. "Nor breakfast? Why, George the poor little, creature must be almost starved." "I should think so," mechanically replied her brother, just recovering from a yawn, and showing signs of sympathy. "Look here! what is your name ? Well, Katy, you must come up to the house and get something to eat. Going to Sing Sing on foot ; dear me! how lidiculous! follow me, Katy, and we will take care of you to night, somehow, and see about your going to Sing Sing to-morrow." Katy followed. What a glorious vision burst upon her view! The palace house; the rocks reddening in the low, western sun; the shining river; the signs of luxury on every hand. They walked up the wide avenue. Elms and oaks threw their pleasant branches on each side ; here and there a flower-bush might be seen; vines grew around the noble pillars, twisting up, up to the glittering windows. "Susan, give the child a good supper; she's hungry and tired, too, I imagine. Alier that, I will see what can be done for her." Susan wore a mild face. She looked pleasantly down at the poor, tired little one, and taking her hand, which trembled now, led her into the kitchen. Meanwhile her story, or that brief part of it which we know, was being told in the drawingroom. Thesylph figurein white, lounging gracefully in the midst of delicate cushions, accompanied her narrative with expressive gestures.and now and then a little laugh. "I should like to know what she is going to Sins; Sing for!" she said, leaning languidly back. "We must getlierop something to wear; a bon

net, pair of shoes, and tlren maybe we may manage to have her carried some way, if her mis

sion is of any importance. Oh! such an odd-looking thing." "What is that, my daughter?" "Oh! papa, you have come home again; why I was talking about a mite of a child; she can't bo more than ten, if that. I saw her out here sitting on a moss rock, the most forlorn object. She says she is going to Sing Sing." "I met her on her way," said the pleasantfaced old man; "she asked me about it, and I would have stopped her, but she trudged on. Where is she? It was noon when I saw her." - "In the kitchen, papa: Susan is taking good care of her I expect, and when she has had a hearty supper we will talk with her." "A gay trio of young girls came in! Tlieni3t-

tings Vfcie put up, and the gas burned brightly, and music and mn tli banished all thoughts ot care. Suddenly Nell Maywood, remembering the little

odd figure, and clapping her hands, cried, "Oh!

1 have something to show you, girls, and disap

peared."

Susan was picking gooseberries near the pantry

in the kitchen.

"Where is the child, Susan?" asked Nell May-

wood.

"Oil the doorstep, miss," Susan replied, picking

away.

"Why, no, Susy, there s nobody here and no

body to be seen."

'ies, miss. Susy placed her pan down, held

her apron up to catch the stems of the berries and walked deliberately to the door.

'Why, she sat here some time after supper.

And when 1 came in she was sitting there, look

ing up, up to the stars, 1 expect. I thought she was a very quiet child; but she's deep, mSb Nel

ly; she's gone. Let me seethere ain't any silver spoons round I should be afeer'd she took

something they're mighty artful. "Why, didn't you tell her that she might stay all night?" Neli Maywood was peeping here and there to spy her if possible.

Ies, Miss JNell; and lold her what a good bed

there was over the woodshed; but she looked

strange out of them large eves of hers, and never seemed to hear."

"The poor child is in trouble," said Nell, quite

sorrowful that she could not further relieve her necessities. I'dhave given her somethiiiif to wear,

nd we could have sent her to Sing Sing; but

perhaps she will come back again; i( so, you will

send her to me."

If she does, I will, miss," answered Susan,

going at the gooseberries again. ; . But little Katy did not come back. She had been watching her opportunity to go off, and had been gone some time.. She slept in an open field, crawling into sonic hay. She would have walked all night if she bad dared, but she was afraid of the. darkness.

"Mr. Warden, there's a queer case over at my house," said a bluff-looking fellow, meeting the warden of the Sing Sing prison. "We found her last night in some out-ot'-tlie Way place, and nothing would do but my wife must take her in. We can't find out her name, except it is Katy, and I expect she wants to see somebody in the prison. But we can't get anything out of her where she came from, or anything else." "Bring her over here," said the warden; "my wife is wanting a little girl for help; maybe she's just the one." So Katy stood trembling more than ever, in a few moments, in I lie presence of the warden and jailer. Katy was a pretty child. Her large, blue eyes wore an expression of intense melancholy ; her hair had been nicely combed and curled, and some one had put a pair

ot shoes upon her teet. . "Well, my little girl," said the warden kindly, for he was prepossessed in. her favor, "where are you from?" . "New York," 'said the child faintly.

The men looked at each other incredulously. "Do you mean to say that you have come to Sing Sing from New York on foot ?" "Yes, sir," answered the child, frightened at his manner, which had in it somethiiiL' of severi-

"And what have you come for ?" -"To see my father ;" and the child burst forth in one great sob, and for a moment her little frame was shaken with an outburst of feeling. "And who i? your father ?" kindly asked the warden. . "He is Mr. Loyd," said the child, as soon as she could speak for her rushing sobs. The warden looked at the jailor. "Loyd, there are three Loytls here Jim, Bon-' dy and Dick," said the jailor. "They may not be their proper names," responded the warden. "That's so," said the jailor, "but I can try 'em all. Little one, was your father's name Jim?" The child nodded her head, or they .thought she did ; she was all convulsed with the reaction brought on by the termination of her journey. "It it's Jim, he's a bad one," said the jailor,

in alow voice. "He is in irons this morning for attempting to break jail he don't deserve a good litt le girl as looks like that one, the villain. Gome,

ti i Id, 1 II go and find your father. He took Katv's shaking hand ; with the other

she wiped the tears awav as fast as ihev fell.

It frightened her almost into calmness to see

the ponderous door at which the jailor applied the great key ; and the stillness of the long stone

passages, the dimness thrown over all, the conslant succession of bars, and bleak, black walls,

were teriible to a sensitive mind like hers. How

ilia heavy tread of the jailor, and the tread of the warden behind him, echoed throuyli the doom

and the space! It was in truth a great tomb

through winch they moved a tomb in which were confined living hearts, whose thiob could almost be heard in iho awful silliness. On, on ihey went, now through the massive door, now through a passage way. Everything spoke of crime of fierce passions subdued and held in stern control ; everything, from the grim face of the ferocious watch dog to the sentinels armed. Then they turned and went uu the stairs, the

jailor holding the scared bird close to his side

with a tender clasp, the warden following. Another tramp and they came lo a stand-still. The

jailor rapped at a cell door. Slowly the figure

of a man, with a harsh, hair-covered face, ap

peared,

"Here's your little girl come to see you," said the iailor.

"Little girl ! hem ! you're green !" in grum

accents ; - l ve catch me here.

"Jim, here's a little girl little Katy, your daughter wants to sec you." A stupid "what?" came from the bed; the man had probably just awakened. "Your little daughter !" There was a sound of rattling irons that made the child shiver. Dimly appeared the face and outlines of a well-made man -the countenance handsome, but evil. But as fast as his chains would permit him, he came forward and looked out nt the anxious face below. It was almost too much for the child. With a loud, convulsive cry, she exclaimed, "Father ! father !" and fell, nearly, senseless, against the jailor. "Katy !" exclaimed the man, and there was a nervous twitching about the muscles of 'the mouth;

what in heaven's name has brought you here ?" The jailor was calling the child to consciousness. "Shall we let her come into the cell ?" asked

the warden.

Jim was dashing his hand across his face. A

smothered "yes" issued from, his lips. They opened the ponderous door and let the child within. Her arms were outstretched, his were wide

open, and they came together with a clanking

sound, about thejorm of that poor little child. ..;

Uli, lather I Uh, Katy, Katy ! and then

there were a quiet crying. By-und-by the man

ilted the little head, whose glossy curls were fal

ling on his shoulders and oh 1 what a sharp rattle of the chains smote upon the ear 1 -and look

ed in her face. After a moment's irresolution he kissed her, and then his head fell under her

earnest, loving look,

"Katy, what made you come ?" "I wanted to see you, father ;" nnd the head was on his shoulder again. "How did you come, Katy ? never mind the noise, they are locking up. They will be here again and let you out. How did vou come, Katy ?". . "I walked here." "Kiom New York, child ?" "Yes, lather." There was no sound save that of the chains as he strained her closer to his bosom. "And how did you leave her your mother?" The question was fearfully asked, but not re

sponded to. He gazed eagerly into his child's face-her little lip was quivering. .

"Katy tell me quick 1 "She died, father !" A groan, a terrible groan followed ;. the convict's head foil in the lap of his child, and he wept with strong cries. The jailor and warden said they never saw a night so woful. And the child tried to comfort him, till his strength seemed to be gone, and his sobs were like gasps. "Oh, Katy, when did she die ? Oh, my poor May 1 my poor girl !" "Ever so long ago, I guess over so many weeks," replied the child ; "but she told me to come and see you, and comfort you." "Oh, God ! this is hard ! She always forgave me.!"- ' .:; ,: -. r

"She told me to pray' for you, too ; she told roe to ask you, would you be real good after you come out, and meet her in heaven ?" ; "In heaven ! I in heaven !" groaned the man, giving way again to his agony. . .. The child was angel-guided. Her soft touch was better for his soul's good than the .stripes and the chains. He had been hardened her

love had melted down the adamant, had found the locked-up good of his nature, and she had sent sweet smiles through its prison door. Long he sat there, his head in the lap bf his beautiful, quiet child. None dared disturb him jailor and warden walked to and fro. "Father, when you come out I'll take care of you." i

He lifted his head his eyes, red with weeping, were fastened on her face. "Mother said I might."

"God's blessing on you, my angel child you may save your miserable father.". "1 will save you, father." ; : . .The warden cleared his throat ; the jailor spoke roughly to one of the prisoners it was to hide his emotion. "You had better come, now," lie added, going to the cell. "Katy, you must go. Will you come again, my child ?" . "Can't I slay ?" "No, dear ; but you shall come and see me again." ;

They took her gently from the dark cell she

sobbed very quietly. In the warden's room stood the pleasant-faced old man. "I've come for that little girl," he said. "She must go home with me; I'll take good care of her I've heard her story, and when her father comes out, if he's a mind to behave himself, I'll give him plenty to do. Besides that, I will bring her up once a week (o see him. What say you, little one, will you go with me?" and good old Mr. Maywood stroked her hair as he said, pityingly, "poor child ! poor child !" Reader, ten miles from Sing Sing there is a little cottage, occupied by a laboring man and an

only daughter. Little Katy is fulfilling the commands of her dying mother, She is taking care of her father, and he, thank God, is takinsr care

of himself. Men respect him, and God has for

given him.

The Degradation of European Women, It is well known that llie women of fill classes

in some parts of Europe are held in very little esteem. If tliey are poor, -they nre considered mere cattle ; if of tlie liiyher class, they are regarded only as a means of past lime, and are married or obtained only for fashion or conve

nience. Jlus is, unfortunately, to some extent the case in this country, but they are never used as cattle here. On the European continent you will see them, wielding the sickle and the scythe.

yuiding the plow and carrying on their backs manure for the u'elds ; while near by you behold huge, strong fellows lying on iheir backs, observing the labor of their wives with perfect indifference. An explanation of the degradation of women in thai puil of the world has lately been (riven.

which, though only partly covering the ground, is certainly eniilled lo an important place among the reasons that can be assigned for the existence of this state of things. The kingdoms of that continent are so continually engaged in war, that

"Father !" said the childish voice, It sounded so sweet, so childish in that terrible prison. But as the scowling face came close to the bars, the child hid her head quickly in the jailor's arm, half sobbing, "Il wasn't him !" "We'll try the next one." He walked farther on and spoke more pleasantly this time : "Will, Bondy, Jierff is little Katy ; don't vou want to see her ?" "Little Katy !" there was a long pause ; "I had a Katy once not a little Katy I broke her heart God pity me. Go on, it can't be me." Again the sweet voice rang out, "Father!" The prisoner came close up to the bars ; a youthful face framed with liirht wavv hair a

face that it seemed a sin to cmml, with fnnl

deed, guzed out. I saw the child's earnest, pleading, tearful eyes ; a daik expression rolled like wave across his brow, a groan came up from his bosom, and with a low moan he staggered against his bed, crying, " "Take her away ! I ean't stand anything pure like that!" 3 V Katy hid her face for the second time, as she
