MY SOUL, AND I.
BY JQHN G. w H l'l"l‘ll-ZR.
Stand still my soul, in the silent dark
1 would question thee,
Alone in the shadow drcar-and stark
\‘t-’itlt God and me!
\Vbat, my soul, was thy errand here?
it as it ittirtlt or case,
Or liO:t[ilil_g up dust front year to year?
‘Nay, llU:lL' of these 3
Speak, soul. arigltt in His holy sight,
Wltiisc eye looks s-‘ill .
And steadily oit thee through the night:
‘To do His will!’
\Vh:tt h-{st thou done oh soul of mine,
'l'hat thou trcnihlcst so ?—
Hast thou \\'l‘Ulll_.l'l)l I-lis task, and kept tlteline
Ile bade thee go?
What silent all !—art sad of cheer?
Art fearl'u_l now ?
Wlttzn Got scented Ill!‘ and men were near
How brave wert thou ?
Alia! thou trentblest !—wcll I see
Tltou‘rt cravcn grown.
Is it. so hard with God and me
To stand alone ?—
Summon thy sunsltine bravery back
Uh, wretched sprite!
Let me hear thy voice thro’ this deepa black
A bystnal ttigltt.
What hast tttou wrnugltt for I-liglitand Truth
For Cod and titan,
From the gold it years of bright eyed youth
To life’s mid span ?

In the life storm loud,
Frontiitg so calmly all ltutnan eyes,
In the sun-lit ('I'u\V(l !
Now standing apart with God and me
Thou art weakness all,
Gazing vaittly after the things to be
Through De-ittlt’s dread wall.
But never for this, never for this,
Was thy being lent,
For tfte cr:tvcn’s feat‘ is but selfishness,
Like his merrimeiit.
Folly and fear are sisters twain:
One closing her eyes,
The other, pt opling the dark inane,
Witlt spectral lies.
Know well, my soul, Guti’s hand controls
Wltatc'er thou fe rest,
Round ltitn in cttlniesi music rolls
\Vliatc’t=r thou hcarcst.
\Vhat to thee is shadow to Him is day
And the end, ljc knowctli,
And not on a blind and aimless way
The spirit goeth.

The pres:-iit—tlte present, is all thou hast
For tliy sure pcssessittg;

NHSCELLANY.
THE BRA§:'.ILI.'-\N BRIIJTII.
Among the nobles who suflbred most
from the invasion of Portugal, and who:
followed Joltn V1 across the Atlantic, in
search ofa safer home in another ltcutis-
phere, was the Marquis de Gottsalva. He
had married a young and lovely woman to
whom he was tenderly attached. She
suffered much from the separation from
her home and family, and her heart failing
urtder the fatigue and privation ofthe voy-
age, she had scarcely reached Brazil, ere
she died in givitfg birth to a son.
The Marquis remained a widower, de- ll
voting himself to the care ofhis child, and
the reperation of his ruined for-tune.
Alonzo was a fine generous spirited boy,
grateful and affectionate in his disposition,
and very handsome in person; his clear
dark complexion, laughing eyes, and white

toard by Senhor Josef, altttle elderly man
,hrewd and active, with a long qiie, cock-
pd bat, brown dress coat, and a flowered
,lvaistcoat. His joy and pride were almost
too great for words, and for once his
haturttl feelirig swept away his whole rou-
line of complaint; which is saying a great
eal for an old Portoguese.

Sertlior Josef's will was next:5
and bcqncathirtg to her the only house
he had, (their present rcsidence,) the rest
of his immense fortune he settled exclu-l
sed his intention to make all fixed and surel
by winding up his mercantile concerns‘
before the return of Alonzo; but no land
would he put-chase ; he was aware that a
large ltcrctlitary estate in f’otii_r_:al belonged
by right to tlte*I\‘Iarqttis, which in all pt'oba--
hility he would possess in peace before ltc
died. _
These interesting arrangements being
completed, the party were requested to
proceed to the oratory; where the mar-,
riago ceremony was to take place. l
Both the father and the son felt sad mis-
givitigs on the subject of the bride herself,
and it was with a throbbiitg heart that Alon-
zo, especially, approached the oratory;
his father yet appreltensive of the final e-
vettts, whispered cmpliatically. ‘Scnhor’
Josef has performed ltis part nobly; oh
jtnv son ! for my sake struggle to support
lyours.’ Alonzo pressed his father’s hand,

night to his chamber.
Aftera light and hurried breakfast on
the following mornirtg he prepared to de-
part. The Serthora expressed her deep re-
gret that Isabella was ttot sulliciently rc-
cojered, of the‘ agitating scene oftltc pro‘
ceeding day, to take leave ofltim personal-
ly ;—— and the Senltora was proceeding
with a string of apologies, when Alonzo
impatiently ititcrriiptc-d her by placing in I
her hand a morocco case contattiiig a set
ofpittk topaz of the latest London fasltion
which he had brought from Rio as a pres-
ent for his bride. He rrttiirtblcd sotnetliing
abotituthe Serthora presct'i‘.irig it in his
name, as it appeared he could not liavc
the ltortor of offeritig it himself. Awa_v
went the aunt with her prize and return-
ed in a few mintttes with 11 ring containing.
one deep yclleiv diamond of talitc enough
to purchase :1 dozen of the pink topaz sets
and this was with many fine speeches from
his bride, made up by the Scnhora with
the felicity of her sex on such occasions.
After. receiving the blessing of his new
relatives, he went on board, accompanied
by the Marquis, who took leave of ltim
with the greatest affection; giving him of
course much wise counsel, mixed withtltc
heartiest congratulations on his good for-
tune; but not one word was breathed by
either concertting her who was at once the

that artytlting he could say on this delicate
subject must be wrong.
A few'\vecks brought Alonzo to Fill-
mouth, where he was met by ftlr.I‘t.lorditant
his tutor. They proccedcd‘5ttogether to
the‘Contincnt, where it was arranged they
should spend three years in travel and stu-
dy; the two remaining years were ‘to be
devoted entirely to Englartd.
Mr. M0rdatt,t_a_._t was admirably calculated
for the office assigned to him, and soon be-

Two rows of slaves, nialeatid female,were
fdrawn up on each side; the priest and
"witnesses took. their stations, as did Alon-
'zo and the Marqtiis. Scnhor Josef had
gone for his sister and daughter.
, A few painful minutes elapsed. At
[length a scuffle was heard in the passage,
and, ‘./\'"on qucre ! non qucre !’ was shriek-
ed out by a wea. but shrill voice. A mo-
ment afterwards Senbor Josef appeared
with his sister, actually dragging in a thin
dark lankey form that was trtaking all the
oppositionit was capable of, by biting,
scratching and screaming. The father
and aunt were assisted by four young mit-
latto females, whose (lisordered white
dresses, and flowers falling from their
heads, showed but too clearly in what des-
perate service they had been erigagcd.—~
The girl herself was dressed in thickly
worked Indian muslin‘, trimmed with rich
Fguage; that of the history, government,
manufactures, and works of art, of caclt
country, together with the acquaintance of
‘the most eminertt men-—-all contributed to
exalt and enrich the liigltly gifted mind of
Alonzo, and to fill ltislteart with the no-
blcst sentiment of benevolence and patri-
otism. During this time he might have
been pronounced among the happiest of
mortals,--bit't in"l'tis overflowing cup one
black and bitter drop was mingled.
Mr; Mordaunt had been made aware of Alon-
zo's marriage, and of all the circumstances at-
tending it, by the Martinis. In the first letter
Alonzo received from his aunt the Abbess, were
these words: ‘The only chance you rave of
domestic pence, (happiness is perhaps out ofthe
question,) in your peculiar circuritstaitces is to
guard your heart with the most vigilant care;
if once that treasure pass into the possession, of
anothenguilt and misery will attend you through
life. I repeat to you again and 21$,’-’Xll1._,Q‘ll(11'(1

tutor. who pointing" to the last sentence, said
emphatically, ‘let that be your watch word.’
