And thou hast taken one to share The ills of life with thee ; One heart, which trusting in thy love, Hath sworn thy bride to be. Before the altar thou hast stood, And holy promise spake, Which naught but death can e’er dissolve, And none ou earth can break. And from the home where she hath spent Her childhood's merry hours, : Where days and weeks so quickly went, ; Midst h :*» pines** and joys I Ah! thou haS borne her far away | From all her heart holds dear. To gild thy home with love’s bright smile, Thy lonely hours to cheer. | A mother’s hear t doth mourn her loss, l A mother’s voice the while i Oft calls rich blessings from above Upon her darling child. Bd thou a mother unto tier. Protect her to the lust, And let tire love thy bosom knows A mother’s far surpass. Another yet will moirn for her, And miss her presence there, And oft to yonder heaven ascends For her a sister’s prayer. And she hath bade them all farewell, To dwell with thee and thine— Then lay thy best of earthly love Upon that heart’s pure shrine. Let not a fault of tfiiue e’er cause A cloud upon that brow, But love her still through every change, As thou dost love her now. And when the work below is done, And all life’s troubles o’er, O may ye meet in that blest land, And meet to part no more. 1 Errata.—In the “Lament on the banks of the ' river Grande,v published in the Saturday’s Ga- j 7.<*tle please read in the 7th verse, hapless for 1 hopeless,'' and in the i 4Ih verse, for “strieken’d ' read stricken. There is no such word ns strickcn'd in the : M. S. or any where c*Le: stricken, the word there found, is the old preterite of the verb to strike, and familiar enough in pretry, “Come rest in this bosom my own stricken deer” kc j Tin: RAZOR STROP MAN.

This eccentric personage is now in New Ha ven. It is said that a man recently became an gry u ith him, and cnl led him a fool; to which he of the razors replied, “Well, if I am, there is one more left of the same sort.” A party of Ladies visiting the Philadelphia navy yard were much disconcerted by the ap pearance of a quantity of white oak knees.
