grey locks trembling as he spake, Iv'e known some in my days that have found a softer pillow here than ever the world afforded." "You knew Lieutenant W. H." said I. "Ah! poor fellow! but I shall know him no more---and that's a sorrow--I did sometimes think, when I should die and leave old Margaret, he was the man that Providence sent to befriend her---it seems like a dream--here am I, crawling among the graves of my juniors--every stone, as it stares me in the face, seems so say, 'what art thou doing above ground?' and I often fancy, I am but like a late watcher, that should have been sleeping in the dust of the earth long before now." There is a disposition in the heart of the mourner, that seeks to identify itself with the sorrows of others; and, under the impulse of this disposition, poor Joseph wound into the story of the fate of William his own griefs.

"But Marianne," continued I, "does she still reside at "She! poor dear creature! no-no ---not now." "She used to come every night and sit where you are sitting--but she never wept-there for hours would she sit and gaze on that little hillock-I've watched her many a time---I tried at first to console her, but she sighed so heartbrokenly-I thought she did not like it, so I never after spoke to hershe would have stayed all night if they had not come for her, and when she went-she would turn at every two or three steps and look, and sometimes go back to the grave again, and then"--the tear rolled down the furrows of his aged cheek ---he paused a moment-" and there kneeling down and kissing the turf, would afterwards rise and suffer herself to be led home. I remember," continued he, "I shall never forget the last time; she was to set out for Lisbon the next day---she came alone, and not as before, in deep mourning, but all in white--on entering the church-yard, she looked around to see that there were no observers--having spent some time in strewing flowers round the grave-she knelt and seemed to pray; then, taking some rosemary from her bosom, she placed

་

it at the head, singing a plaintive hymn-she sat and talked-I crept near unobserved, and heard her saying, I sing the worms away --they will not feed on thee--but listen to my song--the roses-lilies--harebells-rosemary, and flowers and herbs of every scent and hue, all die for sorrow on thy grave-the sun looks mournfully upon it--and dirges sound in every whispering breeze--I go---oh! that I could but, might but die die now, and sleep in peacebeside thee-no-I must not-on the Lusian sands my charnel house must be'--she then turned quickly round, and, seeing me, fainted and fell across the mound-next day they set out, she and her mother--and three weeks ago her mother came home, Marianne died the day they arrived at Lisbon" -"What!" exclaimed I, "the beautiful-the lovely-the accomplished Marianne gone to the grave of true

rest

"Where never, never, care or pain, Shall reach her innocent heart again."

Methought I could flee the humble spot of earth, that contained all that remains of that young, guiltless, but wretched creature. The lines of our immortal bard powerfully pressed themselves on my mind.

"And we thought as we hollow'd his narrow bed,

And smooth'd down his lonely pillow, That the foe and the stranger should tread o'er his head,

And we far away on the billow. “Lightly they'll talk of the spirit that's gone"

But she shall not hear them-she shall not heed them-her spirit hath entered into its rest-beyond the flight of human hope and fear; and the tear and the joy, and the sigh and the smile of this world no more disturb her sweet repose, than the surges of ocean the face of the sky

"Poor Marianne!" exclaimed the sexton, "Poor Marianne!" sighed I;---even sullen echo seemed to sympathize, and softly whispered, "Poor Marianne!"
