Ves, tlicre arc sonu? hours of roiiiaiiee in this 

 manor of fart miuI work ilay worM, which gh-aiii 

 like llespLMiaii Isles amiil llie tenipi'st tost ocean ; 

 some sweet aii'l ipiiut streams hy the way side, 

 to whieli we cajp wai'iler wlieii faint ami weaiy, 

 «nil j,Miher from tlieir hanks "life's lilly hells." — 

 It is ^'()(>(l for us o<-(asionally to I'nri up our ev- 

 ery day haiiner, aiul fling to the hreeze as we 

 pliili! down the ocean of time, something of a 

 Ijrighter hue ; to turn asiile from the old road, 

 ond seek flowers of a sweeter frajxrauce aiul more 

 delicate color. 



Su.-h an onsis in the desert of life, was the Pic- 

 nic festival on the evenini,' of tlje f>'lorious 4lh of 

 July. That olil Hall never saw a more hrilliant 

 nsseudilage than was gathered togethei wilhiji its 

 bospitahlc walls on that memoralde night. "Music 

 was (Ml the hreeze," and the glad voice of mirth 

 echoed ami re-echoed along its decorated roof — 

 The eye too, could (1ml the same enjoyment as 

 the ear, for never (lid hall or laily's hower of ol- 

 den time, sparkle with more taste and beauty. — 

 The skill of woman was th^re, and showed itself 

 fii fiim-iful ornaments which hiiug «lioutthe walls, 

 anil In the garlands that ciowueit the lii.\iirious 

 banquet. On that heantiful lahle might he seen 

 tlie delicacies of many climes, and the more suli- 

 Btantial > iaiids of our own dear native coun- 

 try. 



To those wlio are accustomed week after week 

 to hreatlie the hot, dusty almost)here of the city. 

 wi.o are wont hoLirly to jostle with the crowd, 

 throi.'gh piles of stnoky hricks, it was a sight cal- 

 Cidated to awaken tin; imist [densant feelings. — 

 A.s we went waiulering onward through the fes- 

 tjve scenCj 



" Mid the heart's light laughter, crowning the circling 



JCBt," 



greeted will) the cheerful smiles of white rohe<l 

 fairies on either hand, it seemeil like flving awav 

 on the wings of fancy, to he indeed and at'^last at 

 rest. Poor Burns! he would have clapped his 

 Jinnils with merry glee, could lie have lof.ked up- 

 on those festoons of flowers, and traced his own 

 beautiful "Anid Lang Syne," as it stood out from 

 beneath the orche.sira. Ye.s, the scene would 

 litive taken the poet's soul " like the music in Co- 

 llins, ami lapped it in as liright an Elysium." 



Would that some kind fairy had turned the key 

 and locked up those walls forever from the hiisv 

 daylight; the evergreen never to fade; the oak 

 leaves never to crnmlde, and the same glad hearts 

 to lieat for aye, henealh that hannered roof Alas! 

 aliis! we may never forget "to trace the fealh^ 

 eved feet of time," hut as we float down the rnp- 

 Ms of existence, often will memory turn hack 

 our sails, mat we may "view the haunts of Ion.' 

 lout hours," and " hreatho over the mind like a 



spring gale," the recollections of that festive even- 

 ing.

To a Lady w!io stole » i!ose at the Pic-nic Fes- 

 tival. 



" I woiilt^ iIku in sucii wing^ of gold, 

 I couKI my we;iry heart upfold " — ifilLis, 



That stolen rose ! that stolen rose ! 

 All I how 1 envy its repose 



Beneath thy sunny smile. 

 Well-favored flower, to nie it seema. 

 While with a .«ummer glow it teems. 



So happy all the while. 



That stolen n^sB ! that stolen rose ! 

 1 would that I might like it close, 



Or wend my steps apart 

 Avtdiiie from this unloving world, 

 To thee alone should lie unfurled 



That shrine of shrines, the heart. 



' hen. lady. prac;ise one more theft, 

 Of mischief you're not quite hereft, 



Just come and steal me — do: 

 Or, if you llink 'lis too deep sin. 

 So soon again to venture in, 



Why, lady. 111 steal you ! O.iK Leaf. 



The NoRWFGiAN Fahmkrs — If there he a hap- 

 py class of people in Fiiro[)e, it is the Norwegian 

 liori'cr. He is the owner of his little estate ; he 

 has no Feu-duty or feudal service to pay to any 

 superior. He is the king of his own land, anil 

 landlord as well as king. His poor-rate and tithes 

 are too inconsiderahle to be mentioned. His scat 

 01 land tax is heavy, hut every thing h« uses is 

 in consequence so much cheaper ; and lie has 



that which renders the heaviest ta.x light the 



management of it by his own representatives, and 

 the .satisfaction of publicity and economy in its 

 application. He has the satisfaction of" seeing, 

 from Storthing to Storthing, that the taxes are di- 

 minishing, and the public debt paying ofl^. He is 

 well lodge.l, has ahumlance of (uel, and that ipian- 

 lity of laud, in general, which does not place him 

 above the necessity of personal labor, hut far above 

 irivaiiou, if si.:kiiess or age should prevent him 

 from working. He has also no class above him ; 

 nobo.ly who can look down upon him, or whom' 

 he or his family look up to, either to obtain oh. 

 jects of a false ambition, or to imitate out of a 

 s;mit of vanity. He lias a greater variety of food 

 than the same class in other countries ; for be- 

 sides what his farm produces, which is mostly 

 consumed in his housekeeping, the fiehhs, lakes 

 and rivers and the fords, afford -lame, fisli and 

 olhe^article.s. He has also variety of hffmr, which 

 IS, perhaps, among the greatest enjoyments in the 

 life of a laboring man; for there is' recreation in 

 change. He has no cares for his family; because 

 be knows what their condition will be after his 

 death. He knows that his wife succeeds to him, 

 ami as long .is she remains iitim irried, ihe only 

 dift'ercnce made hy his ileath is, that there is one 

 le.ss in the family. On her death or second mar- 

 riage, he knows that each cd' his children has a 

 right to a share of his pmperty ; and according 

 to tliidr number he makes his arrangement foT- 

 their either living on the land as before, or divi- 

 ding it, or for being settled in other occiip itioiis, 

 and taking a share of the value when it comes to 

 he divided. — Laing's JVorway.
