OF morning or of evening dews Sings not my soul-enraptured Muse, But what the sly Highlander stills, Upon.his wild romantic hills. One drop of this delicious " dew," With such a friend, dear Judge, as you, Makes all the kind affections flow, And e'en the coldest heart to glow. Soon as we taste the "Mountain dew," The past is of a brighter hue ; Like heat applied to secret ink, It brightens memory's dullest link. And, if a little more we take, Our thoughts still brighter will it make; And scenes long faded and forgot, 4 Become once more a shining spot. Then, like old soldiers fight we o'er, Our battles, fought in days of yore (Our battles in the field of Venus, No others ever came between us.) The "dew" that sparkles now so bright, Makes all the cares of life look light, Makes life itself, tho' dry and sear, Still fresh and green as youth appear. Like oil once poured on Aaron's head, The " dew" is o'er our feelings shed; The kindly influence we feel, Upon our inner senses steal. Not Helicon's long-boasted Spring, Whence issues all our power to sing, With such inspiring nectar flows, As that which in this goblet glows. TIE MOCK ARRZAGE. A PHYsICIAN's SKETCHES. How truly pitiable it is when talent and genius are arrayed against the sim plicity of innocence-when those rare qualities-given to their much favored possessors for noble purposes, are divert ed from their proper channels, and made topander to vice and iniquity. I. as sitting one morningin my study, culling from my notes some of the most interesting records of my diary, when my servant came to tell me that a young lady wished to'see me. "She seems hir, very ill,".he said, and "In the. tCsroom, Ie ~ple- as aeatW ' -J immedia anhastened to the room where she-was,=and there, half ly ing onia sofa, withher:face hidden in her hands, I saw n'young and apparently deli cately-formed'female.- She was sobbing piteouly, and scarcely'heeded my, en trance. J went up to her and said "My name is -. You wished to see me?" "Oh, help'me.-elp me !" she: cried, vehemently, falling on her knees attiimy feet. "Save me, for the love of God oh, save me from eternal perdition. 1-I have taken poison!" " Poison t" "Yes-yes& Eren now 'tis ',urning thro' my velas like Ifquid fire. Oh! save me, doctor-save me! I thought to end all my miseries, and to rush to the obliv ion of the grave; but now, now-oh, God! my guilty soul shrinks in horror from death. Give me life-life-life." "For Heaven's sake," said I, " waste no words in oxplanation now, but tell me what you have taken?". "Arsenic-arsenie," she gasped. I immediately rang the bell, and when my servant appeared. I said " Bring me eggs, and soap, andl water here immediately." Accustomed to obey me promptly, the man instantly left the room, when there came such a thundering knocec at my street door, that I thought it must have broken in. "Never mind the door," cried, " bring me what I have ordered you." "Yes, sir," said my man, and away he ran; at the instant that another appeal, more loud than the former oneo, wvas made upon my knocker." " Save me, save me !" the young lady kept crying, "I dare not die nowv. Oh, I cannot die !" " Everything shall be done for you," said I, "that the skill of man can suggest. Wait one moment." In no very patient mood I ran to the street door to open it myself, and scold the, person who knocked so furiously, and ansl just succeeding in opening it as anoth er knock was about being admnitstered. " How dare you 1" cried I; and then I paused, for the deathlike paleness of the young man wvho staggered into my pas sage stopped me from saying more. "Good God!"cried I, " what's the mat ter!" "She-is here I" he gasped. "Whot-who 1" "A young person; I saw her go in. She has taken poison." "George !" shrieked the young lady, as she rushed frdm my parlor, and fell into arms of the young man. " Ellen-Ellen!l'? he eried, frantically, "is it true that you still live I" "I-am dyinlg-dyin~g!" she gasped. " Tell-tell my father and'inther--". She would have falfen on the floor it'1 had not caught her in my arms. I car ried her at once into the parlor, and there was my semant with .the remedies I bad' directed him to procure; but they were of no avail in her present state, and with utmost exertions it was full ten minutes before I could restore her to conscious ness. " As you value your life," said I, hand ing to her the antidote I had now thor oughly prepared, " take this draught drink-drink-drink." "I burn-I burn !" she cried; "oh, heavens, I burn! George, forgive me! say you forgive me." " Ellen-Ellen, you will kill me," he cried. " Drink-drink," said I. She gave a convulsive shudder, and fell back upon the sofa. I saw that there was no hope-she was dying. My looks, I suppose, told the melancholy truth, for the young man she called George burst into tears, crying. "Save her-save her, sir-oh, surely something can be done ?" " While poison is in the stomach we can do much," said I; "but this ease has gone too far."~ With a deep groan she now drew pu her limbs as if in great agony, then a damp cold dew came upon her brow; she gasped convulsively for breath, and then all was over. There was an awful silence of a mo ment or two. The young man seemed stupified by the suddenness of the event. He glanced wildly around him like a ma niac ; then clutching his hands above his head, he shouted in a tone that made me shrink from him, "Vengeance ! vengeance! I will have his life !" " My good sir," said I, trying to stop him, "allow me, if you please. I --" "A thousand arms should not stay me," he cried; " I will have his life. I will-by heaven-I will have his life !" "But, sir, before you go, permit me to ask who you are, and who this young person is I" " Ellen, Ellen, I will revenge you," he shrieked, not at all heeding my quesin. " I will crush him to the earth, were le ten times what he is. Oh, Heavens! have we thus metI Is this the end of the bright dreaM- that li't my youthful fancy I Save me from madness!" said,- . ..Compose yourself, -sir, and tell me wheyou are. What am I to do'with the body of this youhg lady 1" He rushed to the corpse, And seizing one of the cold lifeless hands, he called upon, her frantically to speak to him. He conjured her by every tender epithet to saybiit one word-to tell him she lived, and would live for him. He kissed the pale lips, and then, with a cry of'despair, he rushed past me, and was out of the house before I could interpose to prevent him from going. My position was anything but an agree able one. Here was a poisoned young lady lying upon miy sofa, and without the least means of ascertaining who she was. I rang the bell hastily, and when my ser. vant came, I said, "l Thomas, run down the street, and see if you can catch the young man who was here. If you do, detain him anyhow, till I get my hat and follow you." Thomas ran out, and in a few moments I ran after him, but the young man was gone, and we were compelled to come back as wise as we went. " Upon my word," said I, " this is an awkward a predicament as any man could wvell be placed in." There lay the body--a hideous specta cle-upon my sofa, and the hour was close at hand when my usual patients woukd arrive. " Thomas," said I, "you must assist nme to carry this body somewvhere else." "The-the body, sir ?" said Thomas. "I-I-oh, yes." While Thomas said "Oh, yes," he backed torards the door with at evident repugnance to the job. "Come, come," saud I, "you must not have any of these foolish scruples; I can not carry it by myself. It must be re moved somewhere till I can see the parish authorities, and have it take-n from the house, so do you take the feet; betwe~en us we must carry it into the back parlor." " I-I-never took hold of the feet of a corpses in all my life," stammered out 'Thomas. "But you must now; so come, be quick." Thomas with great reluctance assisted me to lift the corpre from my sofa, and we got comfortably enough into the passage with it, when a knock at the street door so startled Thomas, that he immediately dropped his end of the burthen, exclaim ing, " Oh, lord sir, what's that I" "' Why a knock at the door, to be sure," said I; " what a foolish fellow you are." By dragging the body along, I now got it myself into the back parlor, just as Thomas opened the door. I heard a voice ask for me, and the visitor was shown into the parlor so recently occu pied by the ghastly object I had removed. In a moment my servant brought me a card,. on which was written Lord Mandel holme, and informed me that it wvas given him by the gentleman in the parlor. I went at once, expecting his lordship hadt cmetomo for nrofessionali advice; but when I entered the room, I was struck by the peculiar paleness of his face, and the agitation that seemed to pervade every limb of him. " Doctor," he said, "although unknown to you, I have heard your name very fre quently." " I trust I may be of service to your lordship," said I; let me beg of you to be seated." "My visit," he continued, speaking evi dently with difficulty, "is not a profes sional one. Do you know a family named Sarsfield I" " Sarsfield," said I. " Yes. Some years i ago-at least seven, I should think-I knew intimately a family of that name. They went to settle at Boulogne perma. I nently, since which, my professional en gagements have prevented me from seeing i them. I know them very well indeed." " At that time," he continued, " there were two young children-the one a lit- i tle over ten years of age, and the other I ycunger." '" There were, and Ellen, the elder, I was as beautiful a child as ever- " He sank into a chair with a deep groan. " What is the matter, sir," said I; " are e you illI" r He looked up at me with an expression E of face I shall never forget, and, in a hol- I low tone, he said,- t " Doctor, you have read Shakspere, no I doubt, often attentively, and I may say in the words of one of his bright creations, I 'Who can minister to a mind disease ' I v am ill, but it is a sickness of the soul. I have come to say, that should a young F lady come here, and announce herself as s Ellen Hargrave, that 'is Ellen Sarsfield." c " Indeed, sir, and under what circum- t stances do you expect her to come here I" " She recollects your address as a L friend of her father, and might come to p you as a mediator. She was seduced by f -by-one who--" h " What !" cried I, " Ellen Sarsfield, the r beautiful creature who a few short years b ago was the darling and- the pet of a large ' , *fl- t irn hr.(,;rjr !0d--l rather - si r, sh -- Rleave. ind ait aintly. - iOmGdeu I With some, mw which i a Iropped 'a little ammonia, which recover- a ad him from the faintness which. seemed o .o be coming over him. h " Doctor," lie continued, " if you have lve minutes' time to spare I will tell you ll ; but should she come here, you shall h know her by her long hair; it is worn tow, and wound up in it is a small thread v Df silver." it I started from my seat as at once the a Donviction came across me that poor El- g len Sarsfield's corpse lay even now in my fi parlor. He saw my emotion, and likewise rose with a face alarm. a " Whoever tore her from her home," N Dried I, " has a fearful account to settle." E "'Twas I-'twas I," cried Mandel. iolne; "say what you will to me. Up- n braid me as you will, my spirit is now h broken, and I can bear all. I took her it from her happy home-I tore her from h the encircling arms of those. who loved c her."a "Good Heavens! what inducement ti could you offer to her to lead so horrible f< life ?" d " Marriage ; I offered her marriage ; n but spare me. She swore this morning she would take poison, but that first she y would come to you to leave a message for her parents. Since she left me, my heart u bas been wrung by fiends. I am a man p fsorrow. Oh ! should she come here, tell her I will fulfil all promises; tell her she shall be mine, and that the mock mar- y riage which deceived her shall be suc- s needed by a real one, and she shall smile, aigain.' p " A mack marriage; sir/' said I; "so it was by that most vile stratagem thatgr poor Ellen wvas undone. No wvonder, - ir, your heart is full of bitterness; but e you do not know the worst. Heaven ex tend its mercy to you. But were I El- h en's father I should have to pray for pa- I tience. Ellen Sarsfield is now-'-" a A tremendous knock at my street a :loor at this moment startled me, and h nade Lord Mandelhome fall back in his seat, looking like an apparition. In a moment [ flew to the window,- and saw what I did not knowv before, namely, that a carriage of Lord Mendelholme's was at my door.I As I was looking from the window, l Thomas opened the door, and in an in-b stant the young man who had run off so suddenly, and whom the dying girl had called George, came into my room. a " Where is he 1" he cried ; "where is the seducer-suborner of justice-the foe af the innocent, the virtuous and the a beautiful. Ha, the villain !"h He strode towards Lord Mandelholme, si who rose with a cry of terror, while I b threw myself in betwveen them, crying e " Hold-hold, gentlemen!i I cannot si have my house converted into an arena f< for your quarrels. Peace, sir, peace !" h "Nay sir," cried the last arrival,'"come si riot between me and this man. You know sim not. By acts as base as-villain everl mained. he tore from the armr of thana uq who loved her6 a piece of nature's workmanship 'se sed the world. You have seen li' r-you know her. Let me get-at the n.

By one excuse and another I put her off, and then I wrote a note to her parents as if from her, bidding them adieu forever. The reply came. It did not suit me, for it was full of love and expos tulations. I wrote an answer myself, imitating the handwriting as well as I could, and that plunged her in despair, for it harshly discarded forever.

"None !" was the reply. Suddenly Mandelholme sat upright, and, stretehing his arms up towards the ceil ing, he cried " Help, help! Helen, save me-save me".

BRUCE is said to have gathered courage for a seventh struggle, from observing a spider's per severance. NEWTON saw an apple fall, and was led by it to a knowledge of the law of gravitation. A mind that is too great to stoop to the consideration of the lesser objects of creation or too refined to take cognisance of an ordinary cir umstance, is in great danger of running into metaphysical abstractions that will result in no important good. The truly great are the truly useful; and stch men baye, generally, drawn their wisdom from the humblest sources, as well as the most bidden and abstruse. Of this class was BURKE, of whose habits of minute ob ervation the following anecdote is illus trative. ATTENTION OF GREAT MEN TO sUP POSED LITrLE THNGs.-Sir Philip Fran eis once waited upon Burke, b)y appoint mnent, to read over to him some papers respecting Mr. Hast'ng's .delinquenscies. He called on Mr. Burke, in his wvay to the house of a friend, with wvhom he wvas engaged to dine. He found him on his garden, holding a grasshopper? " What a beautiful animal is this !" said PVtr. Bourke ; "'observe its structure ; its legs, ts wings, its eyes." "Howv can you," said Sir- Philip, "lose your time in admir ig such an animal, when you have so many objects of moment to attend to !" "Yet Socrates," sa.id Mri Dlurkie, ". ac cording to the exhibition o'f him in Aristo phanes, attended to a much less animal; be actually measured the proportion which its size bore to the space it passed over in its skin.

[nto the house they walked; Sir Philp began to read, and, Mr. Burke appeared :o listen. At length, Sir Philip having isplaced, a paper, a p-ause ensued-" I hink," said Mr. Burke, "that naturalists are now agreed, that locusla, not cicada, s the Latin word for grasshopper. What's your opinion Sir Philip ?" "My opin on," answered Sir Philip, packing up his apers, and preparing to move off, "is, ~hat till the grasshopper is out of your end, it will be idle to talk to you of the ~oncerns of India."-Butler's Reminis ~ences.
