And toils that multiply the lettcr’d page,

Years swept so lightly by, that Age forgot

Its woitted tax,——atid he had never paid

That subsidy which weighs tltc spirit dowii,—

On passiiig things. Still, ’twas his joy to seek
For others good, and leave beltitid siiclt deeds
Aslivc and brighten for posterity.

A 'l‘hi-itiititg Incident.

There is it powerful article in the late-
niimber of the American Mrigrizine, under
the title of "Passziges in the life of l\'lai'y
Smart.” Unable to find space for the whole
of it in ourcolttirtns, we cannot refrain froitt
giving the following extract, which we per-
ceive has already won a coruplimerit front

Cbasti-lat‘ liaving l:l'$l COflft.‘SSt'(l his love to
the obj:-ct of it, h id been irtdigrtttrttlydismis-
setl. The sci rte is thus continued.

"An hour lltid St.‘:ll'(.'r‘l_V elapsed before the
lights were cxtirtgitishetl througlt the vaulted
halls of llolyrood; and gutirtls were posted
for the night. this officers had gone Sllt~‘ll'l

He loved his country with it patriot’s warnttli,
For he rcnietnbered well those days of dread
Conflict, and peril, aitd rir.lvet'.-ity,

W'hich stronger knit tltc soul than prosperous times:
So, rititl his parting hours, were thoughts of lter,
Hopes for her we-lt'ai'e, prayers in her behalf,
l“roin earnest lips.

I saw his open grave,

’Neatlt the deep shadow of'ltineral trees,

And the dense throngs that did ltitn honor there,
Statesnian, and sage, and scholar ;—not alone
Brows marked with thought, but hands with toil

cntbrowited
Did show the pulses ofthe public heart,
Sorrowiiig for hint.
And it was sweet to see,

Vfitli serious port, the cliildreit front the schools,
Ranged two and two,——ii1 long procession wind,
Following the hearse.
’Tis meet that you should feel,
Btids front your cotiritt'y’s steiti ! that one is gone
\Vho freely to the forniiiig iitiiid had given

A better gift, than hoards of glittering ore,

For robbery and rust.

’Tis well to irtoiirii

Such bcttefzictors, and your tribute pay
Ofrcverence, to virtue and to age,—

Knowledge and truth, and tireless industry,

And cliristiaii faith.

These are true wealth, my sons,

True. glory :—and beside his septilcltrc,

So soon to close iipoit its sacred trust,

Ask for that Holy Spirit, which dotlt iiiovo

Unto good works.—that wlteii ye sleep in clay,
Your trtetnory may be blest by many hearts,

Like his for whom we mourn.

In M2iry’s cltaiitber it single lamp was bum-

was not sttfliciertt to penetrate the obscitrity

which reigned iii the many angles and al-

coves of ih it irregular apartuient, although

the. iiioortbeiiins were fl(lllllll.t'd through the

open Ci1Sf’lll€fll.. ,

Her girth of cei'etnon_v ltild aside, her
lovely shape scantily veiled by a sirtgle rclie
of spotless linen; ht-r auburn tr}-sses flowing
in Unl‘t'Sll‘-'tlt'tf3(l luxuri.trtce, almost to her
feel; if she had been a creature of pet‘.'i~,ict
htiinan be.uty when viewed in all the pump
of royal pageitntry, she now appeared a
being of SUpk_’l‘l’tfll.lJl‘?.ll lovelint-ss. Her
small white feet unsandlcd, glided over the,
rich c.irp:.-t with a grace, which a slight dc.-
gree of fancy might have (leeined the niotiort
peculiar to the irthabitants of another wold.
For an instant, ere she turitcd to repose. shi-
leaned against the carved iiiiillions of the
wiitdow, and gazed pensivcly, and it might
be, sttdly upon the gitrdi-it wht-re she had so
lately plll'l.t'(.l from the ttitliappy yoiilli whose
life was thus eiiibittercd by that very feeling
wliicfi above till others should have been its
consolation. W'itlitlra wing her eyes from
the moon ligbtscene, she knelt l)t‘l0l'L“. the
lamp and shrine which it illtintinzited, and
her ivliisperod orisons arose pure. as the
source frorii which it lloti-cd—the prayers of
it weak and horrible mortal, peniterit for
every trivial error, breathing all confidence
to Hint, who alone can protect or pardon:
tltc prayers of it Queen for her numerous
children, and lust and holiest of all, a ivo-
rrtan’s prayers for lter unfortunate adritirer.
Yes, she prayed for _Cliastela r, that strengilt
might be given him from on high to bear
the Crosses of ti miserable life, and that by
divine mercy the hop.-less love tiiiglit be
uprooted front his breast. The words burst
passionately frotit her lips, her whole form
quivered with the excess of her emotion, and ‘
thc big tears fell like rain from her uplifted
eyes. While she was yet in the very flood
of passion, a sigh was breathed so clearly
tiiidihle that the conviction flushing like
lightning on her soul, that this most secret
prayer was listened to by other cars than
those of heavenly ministers Terror, acctitc
terror, took posst.-SSit,n of her mind, banish-
ing. by its superior violence every less en-
grossing idea. She snatched the lump front
its Dl(‘.l1t‘.---\Vt‘l\’t:‘t'l it. slowly around the
chiimbei‘-—and there, in the most hallowed
spot of her widowed Cl'l¢.ll'1ib€’.l‘, a spy ttpon
her unguarded moments, stood a dark figure.
Even in that moment of astonishment and
fear, as if by instinct of pui'el_v fetnale modes
ty, she snatched rt velvet mantle from the
seat from uhicli it had been cast aside, and
veiled her person even before she spokc——
‘Oh. God f it is de Chastelar.’

‘Sweet Queen,’ replied the intrtitler,
‘bright, beautiful ruler of my destinies, par-
don’—

‘What ho!’ she screamed in notes of
dread intensity, ‘a. moi mes Francois. My
gum-dsl Seyton, Cttrmicliael, Flemnting,
will you leave your Q-teen alone! alone
with treztcftery and black dishonor l villain

upon him. her whole foriit swelling as it
were, with all the fury of injured innocence,
‘didst thou dare to think tliat Mary, Mary
the wife of Francis——the annoiitted Queen
of Scotland would brook thine infatitous atl-
dresst-s——N:ty, kneel not, or Ispurn thee.—-
What, ho! will no one aid me in my ex-
tremity.’

Fear, nought from me,’ faltered the
wretched Cltastelur; but with it voice like
that of some inspired Pythoness, she broke
in, ‘Fear! think thou that I fear a thing, an
abject, coward thing like thee. ? a ivretcli, that
would exult in the infamy of one. whom he
pretends to love? thee! by heavens if I
could have feared, contempt must have for-
bidden it.’

‘J'_\li]y', Mary, hear me, hear me but one
word, ifthat word cost my life’-—

‘Tfty lifcl hadst thou ten tliousartd
lives, they would be but a feather in the
What

scale against thy monstrotis villainy.
ho !’ again she cried, stamping with impo-
tent anger at the delay of her attendants,
‘Trcasoii, m_v guards, treason !’ At length
the passage rang with the hurried footsteps
ofthe startled inmates of the palace. and
with torch and spear, and brandished blades,
they rushed into the apartment; page, senti-
nel. and chamberlain ladies, with dishevelled
hair, and faces blanched with terror.

The Queen stood erect in the center of
the room, pointing with one white arm bare
to the shoulder, towards the wretched culprit,
who with folded arms and head erect, awaited
his dooirt in unresisting silence’ His naked
sword, with which alone he might have
foiled the united efforts of his enemies, lay
at his feet, his brow was white as sculptured
marble, and no less rigid,but his eyes glared
wildly, and his lips quivered as though he
would have spoken. _The Queenstill furi-

Ifitme, marked l'lt'l‘ expression. ‘Silence,’ she
crit.-d, ‘Degraded! wouldst thou ineiinly beg

Stopped beneath the low browed portal, he
piitsi-d, placed both hands on his lit'.‘lf‘l., bow-

cltartted once again the words. ‘P.-nsez a

iritpatiently to be left alone—:tntl all nigltt long
she ll‘:l\'t?fSt‘(l and i'cti'avci‘sed ["10 floor of
her disturbed chamber in parox_vsms of the
fiercest despair‘. The \\'.".l'l'i\nl. was ltroitghi
to her—-silently, sternly, she traced tli.- sig-
rtatiire beneath it; not it ego of syiiipathy
was on bet‘ prillid f'.‘t’illll'€‘S, not a tremor
oltoolc her frame; she was passiotiless, nia-
jestic and unmoved. The St-cretrtry left the

again a woman. Prostrate tipon her couch
she lav, sobbing and weeping as though her
very soul was bursting from her bosom, de-
fying all consoltition, spurning ev.-rv offer

"'I‘is done! I have preservred my fame, and

The morning dawned slowly. and the

latest words. ‘I love in death as I loved

his blood, and the Queen of Scotland had

related to us a short time since which we

considered too good to be lost. One of the

city in a steaniet',ainused himself with a
"_{f'll]1B ofchcqtiers, in company with a wag-
gish gt-nilctiistn, sometime-s seen about the
stetiiiiboat office. Dining the game, the
rditor. puzzled at its intricacies, inadvertently
moved one of his opponent’s men ! "Take

the Whigs before his eyes, fell into his old
