W hy thus longing, thus for over sighing, For the far-oti', unatiained, and dim : W:.:'.. the beautiful, all r un i thee lying, Oilers up its low, perp.tual hymu V Wouldst thou listen to its gentle tiachii . All thy restless yearnings it would st:li; Le if, aud flower, and laden b.e arc j : ■ ding. Thine own sphere, though humble, first to nil. Poor indeed thou must be, if around thee. Then no ray of ii ht an 1 joy e uist tbrow ; II no silken < ord ol love hath bound tie o To some little world through weal or woe ; li no dear eyes thy fond love can brighten— No ton 1 voices answer to thine own; if no brother's sorrow thou canst lighten l»y daily syu.; at by and g mtle tone. Not by deeds (hat win ihe crowd's applauses. Not by works thut give thee world-renow 1, Not by martyrdom, or vaunted crosses, Canst thou win and wear the immortal crown. Daily struggling, though unloved and lonely, Every day a rich reward frill give : Thou wilt hud, by be t; • y striving only. And t-ifriy loving, thuu canst truly live. Dost thou revel in the rosy morning. When all nature hails the Lord of light, And liis smile, the mountain-lops adorn! g, ilk es yon lea gran! lie! is in iu Luuce b.igh; ? Oilier hands may grasp the field and forest, Proud proprietors in pomp may shine; But with fervent !*\o if thou adore.it. Thou art wealthier—ill the world is thine! Yet if thro tgh e .rtfs wid • d <mains th m Sighing that they are net thine alone— Not those fair fields, but thyself, ; love t, And their beauty an i thy \. ,•: mg me. Nature wears the col >rs of the s, Sweetly to her worshipp r sh . I All the glow, the grace, she do! i hmerit, Hound her trusting child she fondly flings. THE ST Ml OF LOVE. The -tar of love now shines above, Cool zephyrs crisp the sea; Among the leaves the wind-harp waves its serenade for thee. The star, the hrcer.e, the wave, the trees, Their minstrelsy unite, i But all are drear liil thou appear To decorate the night. The light of noon streams from the moon, Though wit!, a milder ray ; v.in i • i. i\ l ? iuu*, It cheers us on our way. Thus all that's bright—the moon, the night, 'i'll" heavens, the earth, the sea— Exert their power to bless tlie hours Vi c dedicate to thee.

In this emer gency. the .Samphire g sih uvrs were thought of and sought lor ; and, declining all their oilers. ( h'lneuts ;i..-i>te-l nj n descending the eliii, ;;i the hope of placing his wife and sis tcr upon s-.i.ie rock or spot, where they might lemain in sati.-'y till die a naval ef ibe boats front ——. Thus far had tin Samphire gath erer got m has .story, which in*, was relating to me as we strolled along the cliffs when he j .used, as i have already mention 1 above, and pointed to the .-pot where Mr. (/laments descended. folior.lag his example and taking a seal on the grass near him. the old lean continued his tale, i give it in bis own wm 1$: " ('.ell, sir, when we iound we could not persuade him to lei one of u> go down in bn place, iktl.cr. as i; tail. ..cured a t: »w! ar into tlie earth, a few feet irom the c • of tlie /•.lii :: 111 I limn 1 U‘ t i ’ 1: < r 1 1!.» 1 . ■ . • • l . . i»i.. I O I .— it, in order to give us a steadiei i I i on Mr. , (.'lenient*, fastened it under hi .a.us. We then made him change Ins i .at f>r one of our trucks, such as you see the common peo ple wear in these parts; and taught him how to put his feet steadily against the sides of the c!ill—as it were thus; and made him take the rope in his hands just above the knot, and told him to lean out i s fur as hi p issihly could, and to work downward with his feet and look up, and keep a lookout for the stones and rubbish which the rope might dislodge. We told him all, sir; and bade ’ on not to he frightened at the birds, as they would not harm him—the sun had set, sir ; and they al ways make a her• il.de screeching if you go iown the c liff after they have gone to roost; aid that if he altered his mind, and wished t* come back, he had only to give the rope a couple of pulls, and we’d haul him hack. 'No, ik. says Mr. Clements, ' there’s no necessity lot that. \\ hen 1 get to the bottom wait for a tpiarier of an hour; if at the end of that tine 1 give no signal for you to pull me up, you will know that the ladies are sale, and t! »n make what haste you can. and get a boat from-. I am ready now,’ says he, in a i’aiit voice, and his teeth all the while eliat teriig with fear. Never was a man so fright ened as he was at that moment Well, sir, father and l once more Hiked the rope, and Mr. Clements leaned back over the edge of the diff. Down he went, and wc soon lost sight of him. W orbing with his feet, as father had told him, ve slowly supplying the rope as lie required it, he moved sandy down lor a bit; then he rested on a jutting rock. All this time he kept his eyes on the sky. Pressing cautiously with his l’eet against the chalk ; his body almost at right angles with the cliff; his hands grasping the roj e, or sheltering his face from the shower of stones and dirt which it d sludged. lie had got about a hundred feet from the top, when, suddenly slipping from the cliff, his face and client were thrown vio lently against it. He endeavored to regain hi. i’ o!mo a;:;mst the rocks, and in so .o n_, broke through a resolution he had formed, and looked beneath him. It was a rare sight that ibr the first time. Well do 1 remember how my head swam as I looked at the water, iar. far below; and the waves that one could i see, but not hear, as they brokettver the shin- j les. P f mind, on w hieh lie h d i vaunted himself, where was it now ? He wa about to pull the rope; but he thought of his poor wife and sister, and that was enough. On he went. To regain a looting was impos sible. Father and I kept gradually lowering j the rope; and with his face to the cliff; his | hands out-trctche 1, catching at each object as j lie passed ; enveloped in a shower of stones | ! and chalk, which he had not the strength to ; i avoid; gasping and panting for breath, i»oor i Mr. V. 1 ided d nvii an1 >tlicr hundred feet. Here j the dill' arched inwards, for mini: an immense 1 O i hollow, ‘ihe yonder rock, sir; and. swinging to mid fr ». and round and r mud. as it were be: ween heaven ami earth, down he went. At I one moment, the wide ocean met his dizzy J ' ; : t another, flocks of startled birds flew 1 i around his head, uttering their shrill and an . ; eri is. Again, sir. he found himself sii I imr down against the side of the cliff, hi-fie.-h all sore and torn, his body and arms in abso lute torture from the pr- --ure of the rope.

They went about a quarter of a mile down under the cliff and lauded a boy. who disap peared like a Hash up the rocks. A dead silence ensued ; no one ventured to speak ; the men rested on their oars, and the boat gently rn-e and sank on the waves.

It toil heavily on the rocks. ‘ God forgive him, lie's t, -ed him over,’ said one of them. And so it was.
