Cradle Song. BY RODEN NOEL. Sleep, uiy childie, sleep; lil tho hush ot evening deep! Gone tho tatst long lingering beam From where tho tender speedwells dream, With closed eyes by the woodland stream. Sleep, my cl did ie, sleep; Fresh de\*s of twilight creep Through folded blooms of oglantine, Stellaria, hareball and woodbine; All open the large white bugles shine. Sleep, my childio, bleep; Now dewy planets creep Through skies of falling purple-rose: Yon elm sleek-foliaged overflows With tbos*lovc-song8tho black-bird knows. Sleep, my childio, sleep; The drowsy birdies keep More silence-rare the cuckoo's note, The dove's low plaint hath ceased to float, Sweet breezes flutter in and out. Sleep, my childie, sleep; The skimming moth may sip Our bower's honey-suckle bloom, That lavish breathes a rare perfume; I hear the velvet hornet bloom. Sleep, my childie, sleep; The shepherd counts his sheep: I hear the cattle browse and chew. Afield the click of ball that flew Bat-driven, and the boys' halloo. Sleep, my childio, sleep; Where meadow grass is deep. Nor yet lies heaped tho fragrant hay. The crake is calling, or away Whore the corn mellows every day. Sleep, my childie, sleep; Yon prim-rose skies must keep Some chime of faint and fairy bells, Whose ebb and flow of tidal swells. Or close or open xrial cells. Sleep, my childie, sleep; The sunnier breath can steep All sights and sounds in hallowed rest; Beneath, far setting toward the Wost, Bich seas of pasture swoon to mist. Sleep, my childie, sleep; Bare does the swallow sweep, Now lilied pools for dragon-flies, Nor orange mouths that gapo supplies While the dam greets with twittering cries. Sleep, my childie, sleep; Still soft the marten's cheep Below the eaves from rustie nest With mass and bents and feathers prest, Lined warm for many a downy breast. Sleep, ray childie, sleep; Four callow fledglings peep No more, but nestle to the wing Whose darkness ne'er to them can bring, Doubt of the parents' sheltering. Sleep, my childie, sleep; Our earth-born clouds must weep Their rain upon thy stainless brow; I only pray my child may Ano w Her Father's wings those shadows throw; Then ever rest and sleep. [Original. A WOMAN'S PICTURE. From Iphigmia, an Unpublished Story. BY MISS E. B. CHEESBOBOUGH. It was a never-ceasing source of pleasure to me to wander into the picture gallery. Those antique ladies and gentlemen seemed to carry me into the far past, and I have sat for hours picturing to myself scenes in which I know they must have figured. But one picture-a woman's pic? ture, or rather, I should say, a girl's -particularly riveted my attention. The simple name "Iphigenia" wits written under the massive gilt frame. This picture represented a girl of seventeen; thc hair floated in long golden curls around the neck; the eyes were a lustrous blue-a term which eau seldom be applied to eyes of that color-and a sweet, tender smile sat on the rich, full lips. The picture was startling in its beauty; you looked and looked again, and if, for a moment, your eyes wandered away, some irresistible power drew them there again. The dress was evidently a bridal one; the rich, satin folds fell in undulating beauty about the figure; a fleecy veil was flung over the back of the head, aud a white coronal of roses sat upon the brow. The fair neck and arms were adorned with rich, glowing pearls. One afternoon, just before the SHU had sank to rest, while it still threw long lines of light into the picture gallery, I sat absorbed in the con? templation of this beautiful portrait. The door opened and Iphigenia en? tered, scarcely less beautiful than her lovely name-sake. She threw herself on the couch beside me. "How you worship these musty old pictures, Miss Surrey. Gue would think you had painted them. " "It is the picture of your name? sake, Iphigenia, which attracts me here. How a man, whose worship is beauty, would have loved such a face. Yet, life-like as this picture appears at the first glance, there is something about it which seems to speak of death-death in life. What is it, Iphigeuia: liead me the story of this weird-like face." "You look upon the face of the dead, Miss Surrey-dead even when the painter threw his whole soul upon the canvass. But she was not dead to the artist; how he loved her; and in that beautiful face, whose loveliness death had not yet dis? figured, I can well imagine that he saw only his living love before him. When he finished that picture, he laid aside his brush forever; his heart was broken. He had nerved himself to the self-imposed task of painting it; then, when his work was ended, the deep-toned chords of his loving heart suddenly snapped, and he was found dead in front of the sweet face which was his inspiration aud his worship. "Iphigenia Montfort (ah! how well they named her who made a sacrifice indeed of her) was my father's only sister. She was beautiful and as gentle as a child. She died long be? fore I was born, but I have often been told how docile and obedient slio was, always yielding her own will to that of her relations. A disposi? tion which may render others happy, but which is not calculated to make ourselves so. It is delightful to have one's own way." "Perhaps it is better, and even happier, for woman, that she should not bo so self-willed, or be permitted to always have her own way." ! She answered, impatiently: ! "Oh, dear! .Miss Surrey, do not i preach that doctrine; it is such wo . men us you who make tyrants of men. j Why should women, because they ?ire j women, yield up their opinions, their feelings, their actious to thc control I of others? Is onr womanhood, our right aud title lo a bondage, worse thnu Egyptian V "Women ure the weaker vessels, you know, wu are told.*' "Yes, shamefully weak, when they submit to luiyiug their very heart? strings torn out (d' them, as did my Aunt Iphigenia. There lived in my grund-iuther's house a young urtist. Hugh Elton was un orphan, poor and of not very distinguished lineage, j My grand-father had adopted this ; boy, nud my Amit Iphigenia and himstdf grew up in the closest inti? macy. Of coarse, they loved; it was natural that they should; but my grand-parents were overcome with dismay aud astonishment when they made the discovery. The proud race of Montfort could not stoop compla? cently to au alliance like this, aud stern wrath fell ou the young offend? ers' heads. My grand-mother took I her erring daughter aside, aud repre? sented, in not very miid language, the heinousness of the crime she had committed. The young girl wept and promised not to love any more; but the lips promised more than the heart could possibly perform. The youthful lovers became cold and dis? tant to each other when in the so? ciety of others, and suspicion was lulled. My grand-mother thought that, as the poet says, 'with a little j hoard of maxims,'she had succeed I ed in 'preaching down a daughter's j heart.' But the garden witnessed j many a long, passionate iuterview-of j earnest protestions on the one side, and sobbing avowals on the other. I But the love dream of these two young hearts was about to end iu darkness and despair. Then came, to visit my grand-parents, a distant relative-an English nobleman. He fell in love; no, I will not call it love; j he took a fancy to marry the beauti? ful young Iphigenia, and carry her back to adorn his English home. The young girl naturally shrunk from a wooer older than her father; and her eyes were too young and her tastes too simple, to be dazzled by the rank and wealth with which he tried to lure her. Besides, lier heart's fondest pulsations were all for the young and poor, but gifted artist. When called by my grand-father into his presence, to inform her that he hud accepted, in her name, the suit of Lord Villers, and that she must prepare to receive him as her future husband, she grew still ns a stony statue and as white, too. Her glorious bim? eyes dilated with fear aud horror; she uttered a I low moan, the only sound that es? caped her, and fell senseless nt my grand-father's feet. A week elapsed before she re-appeared in the family circle, pale, listless, wan. During that time, the young lovers had one stolen interview, in this very gallery, and, while the faithful maid kept watch at the door, these two poor broken-hearted young creatures poured out their tears together. No one knew all that was said in that long, agonizing interview; passionate 6obs l eached the maid, and, once, she heard Hugh say, In tones of bitter grief: "Oh! that we both could die before a worse thing happens to ns." When my aunt came ont, her maid was startled by her pale, sad face; ; she tottered into her room, and, j throwing herself on the bed, moaned i herself iuto an easy slumber. ?Al ; mid-night, the maid benni her sol>.< from tho picture gallery; she quietly : opened the door; there, prostrate on the ground, lay Hugh, his wan fae?' i upturned to the moon, winch was ' flooding the room with silvery light. I We may blame him for so wild au i exhibition id' grief-so unmanly JI j display of sensibility-but many :i j mau, far older than this young artist, has cowered beneath the storm that laid his heart's idols prostrate in tin dust. Preparations were now nrnde, on n ! magnificent scale, for th? wedding, j Pale, self-absorbed, the young Ipili ! genia moved about like one in : ! dream Eord Villers did not notic? i the cold abstraction of his intended ! bride, or, if he did, it was no part ol his plan to speak of it. Never was ? poor victim bound so unwillingly ti the sacrificial altar, as my aunt; it i fearful to marry one and love another, to promise to love, when, in our in most heart, we detest. The night of the bridal arrived the rooms were brilliantly illuminated bursts of music filled the air ; tall mai? ble vases, filled with flowers, shed ? delicate perfume around; indeed everything that wealth could procun was brought, to enhance the richues! of the sacriflce. The guests were as sembled, and mirth and noise fillet the rooms; no one knew of the tw< young hearts breaking in their midst none knew of the storm of feelinf which, sweeping through them, hat left these hearts dry as tho summ^r'i dust. The gay crowd saw only th< gorgeous display; they had neve lifted the eurtaiu aud seen tho miser behind tho scenes. But it grew lat?;. the guests wer becoming impatient, for the beauti? ful bride still tarried. At length, her mother entered her room, and called: "Iphigenia, it grows late, my child." lint there was no answer. ?Seated before the mirror, iu her bridal attire, was my aunt. My grand-mother ap? proached her; ?she moved not, but sat, staring right before her with glassy eyes; a look of inexpressible woe sat ?rn thc pale, rigid features, aud the Ups were unclosed, as if about to speak. My grund-mother touched her; she wes :is cold ?is stone; she shrieked aloud and fell senseless at her daughter's feet. That piercing sound, so lull of agony and despair, reached thc startled guests. A feeling of undefined horror took possession of them, and they rushed impetuously lip the broad stair-way, and into the chamber of death. They stood dumb' at the sight that met, thom; the beauti? ful bride, in her gorgeous sut in attire, cold in the embraces of a sudden death. None knew, none, ever ?lid know, what had thus stricken her down; but I have always thought that (?od took ln?r to Heaven, to sine her the misery of this detestable marriage. Lord Villers stood looking at. her with eyes of .stupid wonder and grief ; but-Hugh, poor Hugh, they say his despair was fearful to witness. Ho threw himself upon his knees, beside her; lie kissed passionately the un? conscious lips, and pressed to his heart tin: unresisting- little hand. Ile called her by every endearing name, und sobbed aloud with the wildest grief. Ido not know. Miss Sn trey, whether hearts really can break, or whether a broken heart is only a figure. 1 only know this, that Hugh entreated to be allowed to paint the likeness of Iiis dead love. For the three days that her lifeless body re? mained i" the lions?-, lui painted un? ceasingly. He never left off, save to stop occasionally, cover his face with his hands, anil sob ?doini, then im? print a long, passionate kiss upon the cold demi lips, und return to his work again as quietly as if the wild billows of grief had not just surged over him. 1 know, too, that, after siie was laid in the old family vault, he worked continuously at the portrait; he grew paler, thinner, sadder, and the light of his huge, melancholy eyes gleamed forth with a brighter, a more spiritual lustre. One day, they sought aim in the. picture gallery; he had failed to make his appearance at dinner, and there he lay, dead, before his easel. The picture was finished, mid so was the life ol' the loving young painter. Did he die of a broken heart? The sneering world laughs ami says, "no!" Well, L know not; I tell you the sad tale as 'twas told to me "A tale, just one that memory keeps. Forget len music; till some chance note Vibrate tin; chord whereon it sh pt."' BELTING AND PACKING.
