And piling up castles with spleiidor-to\vei's,
As they float o'er this beatitifitl world of ours.
Sweet spring comes over oitr beautiful earth,
And wakens the spirit to gladsome mirth ;

Aiitl the leaves of the trembling trees are stirred,
By the wing of many a blightsomc bird.
The delicate flowers, ‘heath her rosy feet,
Spring forth with their innocent smiles. to greet
And welcome our steps to each green retreat.
The dew gems gleam on each bending spray,
And the wild-birds warble the livclong day,
And the woodlands ring as they gaily sing,
Their silvery peals to the merry Spring;
And she laughs as she scatters her buds and flowers
All over this beautiful world of ours. '
Then night comes oti and the woods grow dim,
The birds have caroll’d their vesper hymn,
To departing day, as the last sun-ray,
From the deepening heavens has passed away;
And the stars look down with a smile oflove
From the darkening arch ofthe vault above.
Nature her holiest garb doth wear,
And a lovc-like raitlance filleth the air;
Delights through the qiiickening pulscs move,
Till the spirit scents inciting away in love;

And smiles on this beautiful world of ours.

O, lovely and fresh are the moriiing hours,
As they pass from this beautiful world of ours!
I love to stand by the glancing streams,
As they sparkle and flash in the sunlight gleams.
And throw up their bubbles all gleaniiiig bright,
«\Vith inan_v a color of rainbow light.
Oh, bcaiitiliil. lovely, and fair are they 3 _
As they fltislt but a moment and vanish away,
Like the visions that light up oitr early dreams,
Are those bubbles that dash o'er the crystal streams;
Painted with many ti beautiful hue,
They gleam but an instant, and pass from our view;
And the hopes that brigliton our onward way,
Are as bright, and as quickly they vanish away.
And our hearts fill tip with a new delight.
And the streams flog 's on l1l'il.S gladsoine light,
And scatters its spray in silvery showers,
To think what a beautiful world is ours!
And yet though lovely and fair to see,
And beaittiiiil though this world may be,
There are in it spii'its'bo\\—'erl down with pain,
That ne’er may wake to its joys again!
There are lifc-long miseries none may speak,
Tliat drink the blood from the crimson cheek,
And quench the light in the flashing eye,
And titrn the laugh to maddcu’d sigh!
As thorns are foitnd with the sweetest flowers,
So is gricfiu this beautiful world of ours !
VVhen the beauty of earth shall have passed away,
\-Vlicii its blue skies fade, and its flowers decay,
\Vhen the spirit shall tire of the restless mirth,
And the itnsatisfactory joys of earth;
VVhen its gladness hath power to charm no more,
And all is dark which was bright before ;
\Ve will leave these scenes for the fadeless bowers
Of a far more beautiful world than ours !
MISCELLANY.
The Stratagem.
AN IRISH STORY.
“My minnie does constantly leave me,
And bid me beware of young men;
They flatter. she says to deceive me-
But who can think so of Tam Glen?
VVe may as well give it up, Morris Dona-
vari; look, ’twould be as easy to twist the
top of the great hill of I-lowth, as to make
f-tiher and mother agree aboutany one thing.
They have been playing the rule of contrary
these twenty years, and it's not likely they'll
take a new turn now.
It’s mighty hard, so it is. replied handsome
Morris, that married people can't draw to-
gether. Norah, darlintl that wouldn't be
the way with us. Sure it’s ONE we’d be in
heart and sowl and example oflove and—
Folly, interrupted the maiden, laughing.
Morris. Morris, we‘ve quarreled a score 0’
titnes already; and to my thinking, a
bit of a breeze makes life all the pleasant-
er. Shall I talk about the merry jig I dan-
ccd with Phil Kennedy, or repeat what Mark
Daolen said of me to Mary Grey .7—eh,
Morris .7
The long dark lashes of Norah Clary’s
bright, brown eyes almost touched her low,
but delicately penciled brows. as she looked
nrchly up at her lover; her lips curled with
a half-playful, half malicious smile; but the
glance was soon withdrawn, and the tnaid~
-en’s cheek glowed with a deep and eloquent
blush. when the young man passed his arm
around her waist, and pushed the clustering
curls from her forehead, gazed upon her
with a. loving but mournlul look.
Leave joking now, Norah; God only
knows how I love yoti. he said in a voice
deep and broken by emotion; I’m your equal
as far as money goes, and no young farmer
in the country can tell a better stock to his
share than mine; yet I don’t pretend to de-
serve you, for all that; only I can’t help
saying that when we love each other, (now
don't go to contradict me, Norah, because
you’ve as good as owned it over and over
again) and y’er father. agreeable and all, to
think that y’er mother, just out of divilment,
should be putting betwixt us. for no reason
‘upon earth only to spite hcr lawful husband,
is what sets tne mad entirely, and shows her
to be a good for—— _
Stop, Mister Morris! exclaimed Norah,
laying her hand upon his mouth, so as cf-
fectually to prevnt a sound escaping; it’s my
mother y’er talking of; and it would be ill-
blood, as well as ill-bred to hear a word
ogainstfan own parent. is that the pattern
of y'cr manners. sir, or (lid you ever hear
me turn my tongue against one belonging to
you?
I ax y’er pardon, my own Norah. he re-
plied ineekly, as in dtity bound: for the sake
o’ the l-.i:nb we spare the sheep.
Good even, Morris; and God bless ye;
they beafter missing me within.
Norah. ’bove all the girls at wake or pat-
tern, I’vt- been true to you. We have grown
l.tIgPIll€l”, and since ye were the height of a
rose bush. ye have been dearer to me than
any thing else on earth. Do, Norah, for the
sake of your young he-art’s love, do think if
then.-’s no way to win y’er mother OVPT. It
y'd take me without her lH'l\’(:‘ sure it’s noth-
ing l’d care for the loss of thousands, let
alone what ye’ve got.
Doiiovan possessed an honest, and sincere,
and aficctionate heart—brave as ti lion and
gentle as a dove. He was moreover, the
pricst’s acpbeiv-—unJei°stood Latin as well
as the priest. himself; and b\‘-ttcr even than
that, he was the brain, the Magnus Apollo
of the parish; it fine, noble looking fellow,
that all the girls (from the housckceper’S
lovt-ly English niece at Lord Gott’s, down
to little deaf Bess, the lame dress maker)
-\ crc regularly and desperately in love with;
still, Morris was at times alittlc slow of in-
ventiori——would fight hisway out of a thou-
sand scrapcs, but could never get peaceably
out ofone. No wonder then, that where
fighting was out of the question, he was puz-
zlod, and looked to the ready wit ofthe iner-
ry Norah for assistance. It was not very
extraordinary that he loved the fairy creature
—the sweetest, the gayest of all the Irish
gll‘lS-—Il)e light of heart, light of foot, light
of eye‘,—now weeping like a child over a
dead chicken or plundered nest—thcn danc-
ing on the top of a hay rick to the music
of her own cheering voice; now coaxing her
terrnagant mother, and anon comforting her
he-npeckcd father. Do not let my respected
readers imagine that Mr. and Mrs. Clary
were contemptible lrish bog trotters, with
only it plot 0' pratics, a pig, and a one room-
od ctihjri. No such thing; they rented an
hiindr,-.o,’...gocd acres of bright. meadow land,
and their comfortable. though somewhat
slovcnly farm—yard, told of abundance and
to spare.
Norah was their only child, and had it
not been for the ungentle temperament of
Mistress Clary, they would have been the
happiest as well as the richest family in the
district.
Morris, replied the. little maid at last, after
a very long pause; I've got a wise thought.
into my head for once. His reverence, your
uncle. you say, spoke to father to speak to
mother about it. I wonder (and he a priest)
that. he had’nt more sense. Sure, mother
w:is'llie man; but I've got a wise thought.-—
Good night, dear Morris; good night.
The lass sprang lightly over the fence
into her own garden, leaving her lover, at
the other side, without possessing an idea
of what her wise thought might be. When
she entered the kitchen, matters were going
on as usual; her mother bustling in a glo-
rious style, as cross (her husband muttered)
as a bag of weaslcs.
Ye're a pair of lazy hussies! she exclaim-
ed to two fat, red armed. stockingless hand-
maids; d’ye think I can keep ye in idleness .7
Ten cuts to the dozen! why, that would’nt
keep ya in pratees, let alone salt: and such
illigant flax tool Barney Leary, ye dirty
no’:-r-do-good, can ye find no better employ-
ment this blessed night than kicking the
turf ashes in the cat's face .7 Oh! ye’ll be
mate for the ravens yet, that’s one comfortl
Jack Clary. addressing herself to her hus-
band who sat quietly in the chimney corner,
smoking his dooden, it’s well ye’ve got a
wife who knows what is what. God help
me! I’ve little good of a husband, barring
the name. Are ye sure Black Nell’s in the
stable? The sposo nodded. The cow and
the calf—had they fresh straw? Another
nod. Bad sess to ye, man alive. can’t you
use your tongue.and answer a civil question .7
continued the lady.
My dear, he replied. sure one like you has
enough talk for ten.
This very just observation was, like most
truths, so disagreeable. that a severe storm
would have followed, had not Norah stepped
up to her father and whispered in his ear. I
don’t think the stable door is fastened. Mrs.
Clary caught the sound, and in no gentle
terins ordered her husband to attend to
the comforts of Black Nell. I’ll go with
‘father myself, and see, said Norah.
That's like my own child, always careful,
observed the mother, as the father and
daughter closed the door.
Dear father, began Norah, it isn't altogeth-
er about the stable I wanted ye—but—but—
but—the priest said something to ye to day
noon zibout—Moriis Donavan.
Yes, darling, and about yourself, my
sweet Norah.
Did you speak to mother about it?
No. darling: slie’s been so cross all day.
Sure I go through a dale_for your peace and
quietness. If I was like some men, and got
drunk and wasted, it might be in reason-—
but that's neither here nor there. As for
Morris, she was very fond of the boy till she
found that I liked him; and then my jewel,
.I’m afraid even the pricst'll get no good out
of her.
Father. said Norah, suppose ye were to
say nothing about it, good or bad, and just
take a sudden dislike to Morris, and let the
priest speak to her himself, sh:-’d come round.
Out of opposition to me, oh .7
Ycs.
And let her gain the day, then ?—tbat
would be cowardly, replied ‘the farmer,
drawing lllmSI‘ll up: No I won’t.
Father, dear, you don't understand, said
the cunning lass: sure ye're for Morris:
and when we are—-that is il——I mean—-sup-
pose——father you know what I mean, she
continued.tind luckilythotlecpening twilight
concealed her blushes—lf that took place, it’s

True, for ye, Norah, my girl—-true for
ye! I never thought of that before .7 And
pleased with the idea of tricking his wife,
the old man (.‘i‘:p(_'l‘t'(l forjoy. But stay awhile,
stay, asy, asyl he l'€-C()lf)lTH‘l'lC(‘(lZ how am

Leave it all to me, dear frl[l]&‘l'—-l(‘ttlVE? it

pluck up a spirit, and it henever Morris’
name is mentioned, abuse him-—but not with

Obll.
When they rc-entered, the fresh boiled po-
tatoes sent a warm curling strain to the very
rafters of the lofty kitclicn : they \\'(:’l‘e-
poured out into a wicket dish, and on the
top of the pile rested a plate of coarse white
salt: noggings of butter milk were filled on
the dresser, and on a small round table in
cloth was spread, and dell platcsaivnittetl the
more delicate rcpast which the fartncr’s wife
was herself preparing. ’
Vl-’liat’s for supper, mother? inquired
Norah, as she drew hrr ivhcel towards her,
employing hr-.r foot in uliirling it round.
Plaguy snipecns, she replied, bits 0’ bog
chickens, that you've always such’ ti fancy
for,—Barney Leary kilt them himself.
So I did, said Barney, ,r_-,rinniri_,_q'.=.1nd that
stick wid a book of Morris Donav-.in’s is the
fincst thing in the world for ’em down.
If Morris Doiiavan’s stick touched them
they shan’t come here, said the farmer
striking the poor little table such a blow
with his clenched hands as iiiadc not only it,
but Mrs. Clary jump.
And why so, pr:iy .7 asktd the dame.
Because nothing belonging to Morris, let
alone Morris himself. shall come into this
house, replied Clary: he’s not to ma lilting.
any how. and there's no good in his bother-
ing here after what he won’t get.
Excellent, thought Norah.
Lord save us! ejaculated Mrs. Clary. as
she placed the grilled snipos on the table,
what's come to the man? without he:-ding
his resolution, she was proceeding to distri-
bute the savory birds-ens, when to her aston-
ishinent, her usually tame husband threw
dish and its contents into the flames: the good
woman stood for a moment aghast. _
The calm, however, was not of longdu.'a-
tion. She stood rallied, and with blazing
face and fiery tongue. thus commenced
hostilities. How dare ye, ye spalpeen, throw
What do yo umane. I say .7
away any of God’s mate after that fashion.
I mane that nothing touched by Morris
Donavan shall come under this roof: and if
I catch this girl of mine looking at the same
side of the road he walks on. by the powers,
I'll tear the eyes out of her head, and send
her to the nunnery.
You will! and dare you say that to me
face, to a child of mine! You will——-will ye,
we.’ll see, my boy. l’ll tell you what, if I
live, Morris Donavan shall come into this
house, and what’s more, be master of this
house; and tbat’s what ye never, had the
heart to be yet, ye poor snail! So saying,
Mistress Clary endeavored to rescue from
the fire the hissing remains of the burning
snipes. Norah attempted to assist her moth-
er; but M r.\C|ary lighting her up somewhat
after the fashion ofan eagle raising’ a wren
with its claw, fairly put her out ofthe kitch-
en. This was the signal for fresh hostilities.
Mrs. Clary stormed and stamped, and Mr.
Clary persisted in abusing, not only Morris,
but Morris’ uncle, father Donovan, until at
last the farmer’s helpmate swore, av, and
soundly too, by cross and saint, that Norah
Clary should be Norah Donavan. I wish
you could have seen Norah’s eye. dancing
with joy and exultatibn as it peeped through
the latch hole, it sparkled more brightly
than the richest diamond in a monarch’s
crown, for it was filled with hope and love.
The next morning was clear and frosty——
the chill December breeze rushed unheeded
over the glowing check of Norah Clary, for
her ‘wise thought’ had prospered, and she
was hastening to the trysting tree, wherc,
by chance, either morning or even,she gen-
erally met Morris Donavan. The maiden
after a due and proper time consumed in
tcazing and tantalizing her intended, told
him her saucy plan and its result. And the
lover hastened upon the wings of love, which
I beg my readers to understand are swifter
and stronger in Ireland than in any other
country—to apprise the priest of the arrange-
ment, well knowing his reverence loved his
nephew and neice that was to be (to say
nothing of the wedding supper and the pro-
fits arising therefrom) too well, not to aid
their merry jest.
VVhat bustle, what preparation. What
feasting,what dancing, gave the country folks
enough to talk about during the happy
Christmas holidays, I cannot now describe.
The bride, of course. looked lovely and
sheepisb': and the bridgrootn—but pshaw l
bridegrooms are always uninteresting.-
she turned like sour milk all in a minute——i One pm,’ ho,,.e,,,.,., was wmlh rpcord,

-oi the ceremony, and before the bridal kiss
[had passed, farmer Clary, without any rea-
‘son that his wife could discowr, most in-
idecorously sprungnp, seized a shillelah of
“$101” 0-Il€. 39d whirled it rapidly over his
head, shouting ‘carry me out l Ould Ireland
forever! Success. boys! she's be-’i—shc’s

bet! The priest too, seemed vastly to enjoy
this extemporancous effusion, rind even the
bride laughed outright. Whether the goctl
Wife discovered the plot or no, I never
heard ; but of this I am certain, that the
joyous Norah never had reason to regret her
‘wise thought.’
