' ae following exquisite picture ul a death-bed scene is
t fkcu trom the poems of Thomas Dale. We question
whether it® supeiior could be fouiul in the whole range of j
l «to poctiy. The characteis represented urc a Mother I
and Sun.—[.Vo/7/t .Juitr.
11 rite spirit of tier son to cl.t nr,
" tth hopes, she now hurl ceased to feel;
F rum that dread stroke, which menaced near,
A few shnit bitter days to steal:
U o sooth the languor of decay
She strove—all other cams were fled;
And midnight's gloom, and morning's rav,
Still found her w atching by his hc(l,
* J '» render, n ith uti wet tied hand,
c\d love Could do, or pain demand.
'1 he \ety firmness of despair
Had nerved her weaker heart to he a i ;•
Ur never had that mother borne
To sre him die — and thus to die —
l. utiincly wasting, ere the tnortr
Of youth had passed unclouded by —
AN hilo ait essayed in vain to save,
Or smooth his passage to the grave.
^NN hate er hit inwatd pangs might be,
lie told no;—mute and meekly stiff.
I le bowed bint to Jehovah's will,
"'or murmured at the stern decree;
tor gently falls tin* chastening rod
•hi hint, whose hope is in his God;
i or her too, who beside his bed
■Still watched with fond maternal care,
for her lie breathed the pious prayer—
* he tear of love and pity shed,
would lie bid hei try to rest,
And turn his pallid tare away',
Lust some unguarded look betray
The pang , nor sigh nor sound expressed.
V* hen toitiuc racked his bicast, ’ttvus ktiowli
Ity sudden shivering starts alone:
•Yet would ftir searching glance espy
The look of stifled agony —
for what can ’scape n mother's’ eye?
f-'n; deemed in health she loved him more
Thau ever mother loved before;
liut old when thus in cob! decay,
ij>i placid, to resigned lie lay.
And site btdield him waste away.
And marked that gentle tciulerues,*
Which watched and wept for her distress:—
Theu did her transient firmness melt
To tears of love, more deeply felt:
And deater still lie grew—and dealer—
liven us the day of death drew nearer.
Ahum car,it» ami tied—and evening gray
Cast n\( the room a sombre shade:
Alike in lier wore night mul day —
iier eye was never turned away
J’ram the lew couch where he was laid.
She-could not weep—she could not pray,
Her soul wasdark—and with despair
Devotion mingles not—the prayer
Breathed hopelessly was breathed in vain;
liar ali of being centred there,
And dragged her thoughts to earth again,
llor’s was that hitieiness of wo,
Which sighs or tears can never reach.
Which mocks the unbounded poweis of speech; —
A recklessness of ali below —
Of till around—above — but one —
The dying youth she gazed upon.
S.>looks the manner on the wave,
H liich oinvaid roils his opening grave; —
Oh buttle fields with slaughter red,
Where friend by friend has fought and bled,
-M» looks the dying on the dead.
1 !e.r ■h<>pesvhttr love, uer earthly bf rs,
Jier very soul was bourn! in hi?;
And now the fatal hour was nigh.
When all but life with him must die,
And what—when lie had ceased to be.
Oh! what was life but misery?
A night with cheerless gloom o'errnst,
A maddepiug memory of the past; —
'1 tie desert of the joyless urea.-:.
Heath’s apathy—without its rest.
Mute, motionless, as if tie slept,
jfis head upon her breast reclined;
And j et, though horror coldly crept
'inruugh every vein, she never wept,
Calm and resolved, but not resigned.
W hen Hope’s last lingering ray was u’er,
Despair itself her heart might steel,
Through all that she had felt before —
Anil all that she was now to feel.
H i! why that wild convulsive start!
'J oe agony has reach.tdhis heart;
The parting pang, tit.it throbs no more,
Has withered life, and all is o'er.—
jVn! -.till lie lives; the unequal stiit'e
Still nature bears, if that be life—■
A etosingcontlict—soon to cease—
A prelude to eternal peace.
A moment—as the fiery ball
flashes, hut darkens,ete it fall;
A moment, waked from that deep trance,
His eye beamed fixth, stud in its glance
Them wn» a fiery energy—
A lambent ray, life's last endeavor
To sparkle ere it fade for ever—
Ami smniuon all its strength—to die.

•Not all in vain—though instant death

~~ — ABSENT~WlTHOUT LEAVE. ^
From the .Military Sketch Kook.
In many, if not most, of the regiments of our army,
there is to be fouml a sort of officer who is a privileged
oddity,—who takes liberties with all his brethren ol the
mess with impunity, aud who pockets every thing short j
of a blow with the best possible humor. In general, the •
individuals of this description are designated in the!
mess room vocabulary, 44Ootid—temper td aid shivers,'1j
and “O/J Stickers" meaning thereby, that they cau “go”
at the bottle; aud “stick at the table” till “all’s blue.”
Ouc of these, a quartermaster of infantry, with a
nose of the genuine Uaidolph complexion, a rosy and
eternal smile, a short figure, aud a big head, having I
dined with a party of brother officers at the Three
Cujts, Harwich—the day on which his regiment
marched into the barracks of that town—was in tho
best possible humor, so much so, that he gave the bottle
no rest until abjut eleven o’clock; and became “glo^
rums” just as the company broke up—right or wrong
he tcould go along with three of the youngest subnl
| terns to ramble by the sea-side iu the moon shine, ha
ving been “jo long V the sun." They permitted him
reluctantly; perhaps, indeed, because they could not
prevent him; but when the party got down to the place
where passengers and goods are generally embarked,
the quaiteruiastcr became totally overpowered, and
sank senseless into a snore. The officers whom he
accompanied could not think of carrying his corpus
I back to tbe inn; uor were there many persons near
! whom they could employ for tho purpose; one of them I
■ opened the door of a private carriage which stood near, I
! ‘unshipped’from its wheels—ready for embarkation, and '
j in a moment the sleeper was bundled into it, where he j
j was U:ft to his repose with the door fast shut u;on him. I
Next morning at day break (about three o’clock,) ;
' <he coach, with its contents, was put on board the I
| Hamburg packet, and stowed away at the very b„{- I
I of the hold: in balfaa hour after this the vessel put '
to Fca.
I or the whole of the Jay the packet had a brisk )
breeze, and at midnight was a good huudred miles a ;
way from Harwich; a dead calm set in. It was a beau- ;
tiful night in July, and the passengers were not all
gone to bed; some walked upon the deck, aud others
; eat below at cards—every tiling was silent except tbe
I rattling of the ropes as the ship yielded to the smooth
i and geulle swell of the sleepiug North Sea. About j
this time, the quartennasicr, it is supposed, awoke; at ;
least lie had not been heard before to utter his com- i
j plaints, probably from the bustle consequent ou the'
i managing of the vessel in a stilf breeze. However,!
| it was at this time that hi3 cracked and buried voice !
, irst fell upon the cars of the crew, ai d for about twen- '
I ly minutes the panic it created is iudesciibable. Tin;!
whist company in the cabin at first thought it was one '
of the sailors in a chest, and called the captain, who !
; declared he had been that minute examining into the |
: cause of tho unearthly sounds, and had'muslred his
, crew, all of whom were on deck, as much astonihlied 1
; as be was—nay, more so, fur one of them, a Wehh
! man, felt convinced that the voice proceedad from the
! speaking trumpet of the ghost of David Jones, hisfor
[ mcr spip mate, ‘who had died in ill will with him.’
‘llallo—o—0—el’—‘Murder!’—‘Murder!’ now arose
i upon all ears, as if the voice were at the bottom of the
; sea. The Welshman fell upon his knees, aud br<r
j god rorgiveDCss of his injured anJ departed friend, Da
i vid Jones: the rest of (he crew caught a slight tinge of
i his fears, and paced about in couples to and fro; some
: declaring that it was below the rudder, and others
(bat it was at the mast head. The passengers, one and
all, hurried on deck; in short, noncon board, not even
the captain and the oldest seamen, were free from a
Iarm: for they had searched every habitable place in
: the vessel without discovering the cause of their ter
rors; and the hold, it was evident, could not have con
1 t'‘’,ied an extra rat, it was so crammed with luggage,
! let mo out, I say!’screamed the voice with increased
( vigour. These exclamations the Welshman declared
5 were addressed to the devils, that were tormenting his ;
j deceased enemy Par id; and he uttered a fervent prar- j
! er for the peace of the wandering ami unhappy soul: huti
j a different idea was awakened in (lie mind of tho cap-j
■ lain by the words '■T.et me uul.n ‘There is snrnebodv i
! packed up in the hold’, exclaimed he; and instantly J
; ordering the men to follow him down, all began to re- !
j move the upper layer of articles; which being done,!
. the voice became louder and more distinct.
‘Where are you?’ bawled the captain.
, ‘I’m here iu a coach, «l-u you/ answered the quar-:
lermastef. J
The inyatery was now solved, and the Welshman '
made ea9y; but no one could imagine how a human he- j
:ng could have got into the carriage. However, sat- !
isfaction ou this point was not tube waited for; so the !
men fell to work, and after about half an hour’s hard 1
exertion, succeeded in disencumbering the vehicle.— 1
They then proceeded to unpack the quartermaster, j
whose astonishment amounted almost to madness, when ;
he found that he had not only been confined to a coach, 1
hut in a ship, and that the said ship was then in the ,
middle of the German Ocean.
Let me out von d
d rascals! let me out
u was impossible to put hack to Harwich, so no
remedy was left the little fat gentleman but to pro
j cecJ to the end of tiio voyage, and to take passage
hack from Hamburg as soon as possible. This was had
enough; but bis hopes of an early return were almost
j destroyed by the setting its of adverse winds, which kept
. the vessel beating about in a most bile-brewing and
, stomach stirring ocean, for leu days anj nights; dur
, ing which time, when up! sta tick, the quartermaster
was employed in profoundly meditating how be could
; have got into the coach, and even after having taken
j Ibc opinion of tic captain, the crew, and all the passeri
• ^er9, upon the matter, be felt himself as much in the
: dark as ever. The last thing be could recollect of‘the
‘ land be had left,’ was that be bad diaed and tcirud at l
(be ‘Three Cups;’ what followed was chaos.
But the worst of the atfair, decidedly, was that the 1
day on wInch be bad been pul to sea was on the 22.] i
of the month, and as it was impossible for him to make I
; Ids appearance wilh his regiment on the 24 tb, he knew :
lie must, as n matter of course, bo reported ‘Absent
without leave’at bead-quai tcr«, and that he would most!
j probably bo acpercedtd. This reflection was even!
, worse than the weather to the quartermaster, though :
! the rough sea bad already almost ‘brought bis heart up.’
; However, he had great hopes of being able to join his
; regiment on the l«»th of the following month—the next
return iJw/—and by due application, he thought be
I might contrive to prevent supersession. Ten days of.
; this time was, however, consumed before beset a fool :
upon the Geunan shore, and then only half of his ex
cursion was over: all his hopes rested upon a quick pas*
1 sage to Harwich.
I This, however, the Fates denioJ him; for having!
i drawn on the agent—got the cash—engaged his pas— :
i 3a£c lo England—laid iu sea-stock, and all (lungs ne- I
i cessut}—the packet, just as site was leaving Hamburg, i
j was f*,,, Km I °f by a live hundred ton ship, ami so
much injured that she was obliged to put back, and the !
i unfortunate quartermaster was thus compelled to wail ,
i a fortnight for another opportunity of returning to Kn
| gland. He was not only delated beyond the 10th
; (return ila\) but beyond the 2 Uh—and when be did !
arrive, be found that lie had been not only superseded
; by thu Commander-in-chief, but considered dead by '
; all his friends and relation' .'
However, on personally applying for reinstatement,
lie obtained it, and once more joined his old corps at
. Harwich, where be many a night amused the mess with
[lie recital of Ins trip to sea in trio coach, which was
always given with lue tn<*rt effect when he was half',
sen over.
^ French paper says, ‘Some time back, during the
[ air al Reaucaire, the piece of GnbTiclle dc Verier, \
was played. In order to produce a stronger impression
on the puhlic inlod, (be .Manager thought it was first
necessary that tlio aciie<3 herself sl.odld feel it;'|,e
thciofore unknown to her, place ! a piece of Ji-dit’s in
the casket, in which she was to find hei lorerVheart. 1
The illusion was complete; Gfibril lie, of course, fainted] i
and the public, of course, applauded Use fidelity of
the imitation, which was no longer one. Rut, sudden- j
