Not yet, not yet !" the child replied, And swiftly bounded by. askod a Maiden'-bak she threw Tihe tresses of her hair; Grief's tiaes der her cheeks I knew Like pearls they glistened there; A ffuih passed o'er ]ter lilly brow, I lieard hii spirit sigh, Not now," she cried, "Oh ! no, not now, Youth is no time to die." I asked a mother as she pressed Her first born in her arms As gently on her tender- breast, She hushed her babe's alarms; In tremblingftoneis her answer came Her eyes-werodim with tears My boy, his mother'. lif tcln For many, many years I iestioned one .iini niood's prime, Of proud andfearless aim; is brow wai1urrowed not by time, Or dimnped by woe or care; In incryaceqnts lie replied, While flashed with scorn his eye, -Talknot to me of death," he cried, "For only age should die."

Then gisped, and groaned, and died. S Wen is the hour of death ?1" A'hely calm, was on his brow, Aiid'peaceful was his breath : And-gently o'erhis features stole A smile, a light divine; He spcaks the language of his. soul "A"y igisra's time is mine. Ellen Crosbi' u6wly retrating from her father,. withshor hands behind her, and her lips quivering-as she spoke. " Whatl-do yo ift peU" he exclaimed, springingafter her ndiraiving her resist ing form. towards him; " that is a very strange thing,. for a little girl to say; what mut-it into your head that father don't love mother4" he continued, smoothing back her soft hair from her white forehead, and look ing earnestly into her downcast eyes. Because :when mamma went awny from the table you spoke cross, and said she was always sick and-she has got a headache," aided the child' earnestly, while the tears trickled down- her cheeks. "I have been sitting beside her all the afternoon, and rub. bing her forehead ; and she is sick and tired very often, and you never tell her you are sorry, nor kiss her as you do me." .Charles Crosby drewv his little girl closer to his bosom- Her artless words had fallen like fire upon, his heart. Hie felt instantly that he had spokeni har-shly more tihan once to the gentle being wvho liad never given him an'unkind word. Seven years of his wed ded life land passed cahiy and fleetly. Be ig young and a most impulsive crea-ure when lie married, lie could hardly appreciate the deep, holy lomve wvhich his swveet bide treasured for him and him only. After the romance of thme affair, as it seemed to him, had settled into, a 'quiet, perhaps, mnonoto nous reality, his restless spirit yearned for some fresh novelty. -lTo work through the day, to come home at night and spend the evening horb isad-ths k pd .ijfant child, whose beautiful face gleamed like a rosebud upon the white. pillow in her little wicker basket cradle, became tiresome to him. He wished his Ellen had mere vi vacity, mere brilliancy, forgetting that these might accompany ~a variableniess of temper amoent that would truly have mgde his home unhappy. Ellen wvas a most excellent wife; her's was that, inwvard purity wvhich stamps upon the features a loveliness far beyond mero beauty; nobody hesitated to call her handsome ; her ways were winning, her formi slightly and fmgile; withia! site had so much prudence and was so good a manager, that from the timeeor his. marriage, Charles Crosby had bedu necnmulating riches. But she needed affection and much cnre; she was delicate, and so sensitivethata wvord of reproach from one she esteemled,.would cause almost a sesious illness. -.The language of lhen full blue eyes, as they were someotimes fixed up en the'tnoble face of hmbrlmsband was, love me; oh ! how I yearn for your full, unre strained love! then' they would fall to the floor whuile the consciousnesis that. ho was not towards lhen in mannei-s as he had one L been, and oh, she feared, not -in heart-would send an icy thrill through every .fibiro of her frame, Of late, Charles Grosb'y had 6faeri become an alien to his home, until the mid nights hour; he had found, as he thought, choice and congerial spirits, amid with them,a "the spirit~ of wvo," that is "the spirit of wine." Bat alas!m his fine mtanners wore :disappearing ; his homie was not 'an earthly Sparadise to him now-ho haid grown v~ry cold -and worldly, lindeend he knew not the extentt ofsthe.changelin hiimself.

Charles Crosby sat with his cheek resting upon little Ellen's head.; the dear child once or twice unconsciously sighed, and these sigls were arrows to the wounded spirit o the father. Darling, you speak strangely ;" he said after a long pause, during whbich conscience had been busy; " father haua great deal of hard work to do, and comes home tired and perhaps a little fretful sometimes but then - lie-he does-love your mother," he said slowly and wondering what become of the glowing delight lie had once ft ,it 11 mt;h e mentigpr e r (, nme.

"Don't look so hard at me, father," she replied, pressing tier snowy hands over his eyes, "mamma didn't-tell me, but she told God." More and more astonished, Charles gazed upon the child without speaking, and after a moment's pause, she continued, " I went in to mamma's room this afternoon, before I knew she was sick, but I heasd her.talking, so I went on tiptoe. She was- kneeling down by the bed and prayinIfto our Father in Heaven; and she cried and sobbed as I (to sometimes when I am naughty, but I knew she was never naughty, good, dear mamma, was she never naughty, papa I" she asked artlessly, and waiting for a reply. "She never was-to you or me:" answer ed the lather, choking down his emotion. "Well, then I heard iser pray; I knew she wouldni't care if I did, because she takes me with tier sometimes; and she asked the dear God if he would make her husband love her; and said that he went away from his home and liked other people better: and she said her heart- was breaking, too; and >h! she cried sndbad,"-continued the child, giving such a mournful emphasis to the last mwo words that the father's lip.trembled and he tears caine into his .eyes.-. "And then ihe turned rogud and saw me ;and she called he wild lit in her eyes ' Anost frightened ne.

'he tears were raining dtown his face, but ie kept them hidden from the little one, who at .imidly still on her cricket, almost afraid o move for fear she had angered her father. >ot so. A flood of the old tenderness had ushed back upon his hseart; instead of the lemure and gentle Alice, his memory pic ured an angel of w~hom he had been all un orthy; a pure, radiant spirit, who had sat y her household hearth in loneliness and adness; with a slowly, surely breaking hart-a heart yearning and dying for love; mfappreciated, lightly esteemed, seldom ad. ressed in the language of affection, and et returning smiles for cold looks; never :omplaining.

" Should she die-oh ! should she die."

" Papa" she half whispered, "mayn't I go up stairs and tell mamma you do love her dearly I" lie caught her to his breast andl clasped ter with the wvarmth of his new love close in hits arm; ho kissed her again and again, blessing his Maker that " out of the mouths of babes and sucklings lie hans ordained praise:'' then releasing the delighted child he said, "yes, darling, you may if you wish to." - The child flew up stairs, while her father followed more slowly, "mamma," she screamed, bounuding into the room, "you won't cry any more, nor have a headache now, father says lhe loves you dearly, my own- dear mamma." The poor-womnan sprang to her feet; she could not comprehend the scene; she wvas bewildered ; her palo cheeks flushed and grew pallid. by. turns: She looked first at her husband, and then at little Ellen, who hid expected her mother to'laugh out-right, and appeared as gleeful as she ; little inno cetbeing. e lb in - -" Alice,'' said her. hsandi faltering tones "'our child is our peacomaker; she has made me a better man; I' do Jove you, Alice, will you- forgive me for my coldness and neglect 1" With a low, thrilling- cry of delight 'the wife fell within her husband's arms."

It was morning-a bright cool, glorious morning in autumn.:-after the terrible battle of Brandywine. and the. greatful beams of the sun were gliding the tops of the tre% which formed the great forest lying within sight Of .the American- encampment below Princeton. The 'disastrous risult of the memorable condiei had well nigh crushed the hopes of tli bravest. colonists,''and the commander:in4chief himself was dispirited and heart-stricken. Hundreds of his brave companions in arms had-bitten 'the 'dust' in that- illfated fray; many of the best 'offiers had ben' -cut dowfil;heimi - gi, a s pta band iei-eei es? scarcely 'a. decent tent was. leff With the. array ; ilie ground was froze-and 'rugged, and as the men were forced over' it, their bare feet were exposed, and many a rueful gash had caused a bloody foot print to be left behind them. But on that lovely -and btight morning, within the edge of that broad. forest, there sat an aged royalist, whose sympathies had latterly inclined towards the American in terests, but whose personal weal- had until now induced him to 'pursue- an inactivity, a neutrality between the two parties. Aid yet this man had a son in Washingtonm's camp a mere boy in years, who had taken his musket and joined the American forces some months previously. The father had learned of the defeat of the coloiial army, lie knew they had been foreed to retreat, and lie came to the neighborhood of the army, which had halted an hour or two, to learn if possibile the fate of'hmis boy.' He dare not approach too -abruptly, nnd havinig reached the deep wood at last which lay between him and the distant camp, lie mounted a knoll, from the summit of which he had a viewv of the vanquished, lbut still determined band, who hiad comported them selves so valiamntly, but a little time pro. viously, but who were now hastening to wards Princeton. TVhe father's heart throb bed audibly, as he gazed beyond him at the remains of the gallant army,.and questioned if his child wtas there, or whether fate might have numbered his body among the three hundred noble spirits who had been sacri ficed but a fewv hours before on the field of battle. And as he strained his 'aged sight far down towvard thme camp, a white horse 1mddeny.eame in view, and apiiroached at length toward- the forest. The figure suich bestro4 his noble ani mal was comm' din" -md anitd the old man quickly : e tha 'ih~ coat and chapeau indicated him an Ameri can ofilcer. He wvas at the verge of the forest; and turning his steed aside, he se cured the animal to a tree, and disappeared within the confines of the wvood. Who could it be, and what was his pur. pose' at this hour alone in that dark forest? The man turned slowly about, and' 'le re joiced that the intruder did not observe him for he could not satisfy his curiosity. 'The stalwart form, the proud step, the manly face, the solemn movement of the stranger greatly interested the watcher, who saw that a deep burthen weighed upon his heart, and as lie looked again he saw that noble form besid low, and on his hnee the old man heard George Washington send up a fervent, earnest prayer to' the-' God of Battles, for the' deliverance of his country~ from wvar, opposition and peril-and ardent suppliention in behalf ofihis suffering coon. trymien. - - * A tear- of sympathy gushed from the grey eye of the royalist,. but as he dashed aside the fallen drop,'tlie bravo warrnor rose from his knees, and ifas slowly. w'ending lii way towards the r dt' wvhere his steed waE secured when another figur,e frm an' oppo site direction suddeil~y hove in sight, anc halting, stood'in the path of. the Americm commnander-in-chief. ..In.an instant the hanhl'of Wuihingtor elasped his sword. hilt, and 'he would have drawn the .blade from' the scabbard, but the man who coinfronted himnuniotionied - him-lh kindness, and' the waii 'stood sin .-hil tracks.

A large.attendance of private citizens also ~testified their profound respeet and reveronce for the noble dead by uniting in the procession. The President of the United States, Members of-the Cabinet, and the Diplomatic Corps had already pro ceeded to the Capitol, in order to occupy their respective places in the Senate Chain. ber. When the procession arrived on the area before the east front of the Capitol, and du ring the performance of a solemn requiem, the coffin was removed from the funeral oar, and borne up the steps of the Portico, car ried through the Rotundo, and rested in the Senate Chamber. As much of the iroces sion as could be admitted within the cham ber entered, but a considerable portion * was necessarily excluded. Intelligence having been given to the House of Representatives of the arrival of the corpse in the Capitol, the Members proceedled in a bodly, with the Speaker at their head, to the Senate Cham ber, where they remained during the funeral service. This was conducted according to the forms of the Protestant Episcopal Church, to which Mr. Clay was attached, by the Rev. C. M. Butler, Chaplain to the Sen ate, who concluded with an imipressive ser mon, in the course of which interesting and consolatory allusions wvere made to circum stanes that had occurred during the inter course of Dr. Butler witti Mr. Clay, in the atter period of his sickness. Dr. Butler seized the occasion thus presented to enforce with power how important a place ekit morals and maxims must now anslever bear in all true and griat statesmnanshi On the conclusion ofth members of the House reti and adtata .1~hu ns; moved from the Sen. tre of the Rotunido carge of. the Mar' Columbia and his a this time thousands lected in the Rot- we sentatives, and els .t the Capitol, to be in readiness to behold for the last time the wvell-known visage of the deceased )iatri ot,so that when the coffin was brought to its position in the Rotundo the rush wvas im m'en'se; and none but the most . p.ersevermn. could bring themselves to enlcouniter the jostling and pressure that enzsued.
