MOOSE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL. 
THE SEWING GIRL, 
There was a cheerless fire in an empty room. 
On a cold December day. 
And tbc biting wind, through a broken pane, 
Had cruelly forced its way, 
The chill of coming death was without. 
The sky looked gloomy and drear. 
And the feathery snow-flakes fell thick to earth, 
Meet shroud for the dying year. 
And ladies wrapped in warm furs went past, 
And men muffled up to the chin. 
And the heart of the city beat quick and fast. 
And noisier grew the din; 
And children went up and down the street, 
And tiny snow balls tossed, 
And delicate women and grey-haired men 
Rejoiced in the coming frost. 
Still by the cheerless fire in that empty room. 
On that cold December day. 
There sat and sewed from morn to night. 
One prematurely grey; 
She rises some hours before the dawn. 
From a short and troubled doze, 
And through winter’s cold and summer’s heat, 
She sits in that room and sews. 
Bhe hears the sound of no friendly voice, 
Bhe meets no loving smile, 
More lone in that peopled solitude 
Than Crusoe in his isle. 
Bhe secs the gay and the happy pass. 
And she hears the ceaseless stir. 
And she knows notone in these laughing groups 
Bestows a thought on her. 
And there, from morn to eve, she plie* 
That bit of shining steel. 
And grudges the few short moments she gives 
To snatch a scanty meal. 
To make up lost time more rapidly move 
Those fingers, shrivelled and thin, 
For she measures Iter life by the yards she scwb. 
Her eras are work turned in. 
And winter passed, with its frost and snow. 
And spring, with its budding leaves; 
And Time in his fervid glory came on, 
With his wealth of summer eves; 
And out to the open country parts 
The human tide o’erflows: 
But still through the long, bright summer days, 
Bhe sits in that room and sews. 
Some are up on the breezy mountain-top. 
Borne down on the grassy lea. 
Some saunter along the pebbly beach. 
Borne are out on five open sea— 
And rivers roll on, through meadows green, 
And the gentle south wind blows, 
And wild flowers blossom in shady nooks. 
While she sits in that room and sews. 
And her thoughts; oh, who can tell her thoughts, 
As the needle goes out and in; 
Though calm and motionless, there she sits. 
Her mind is busy within; 
For many a bitter question then. 
Her overcharged heart will ask, 
As with aching head, and dazzled eyes, 
Bhe plods her weary I ask. 
“If Joy and Pain, in this nether world, 
Must fairly balanced be. 
Oh why not somk of the pain to them, 
And some of the joy to me.” 
But she chid that bitter feeling down, 
And knelt, and I heard her say: 
"The nightcomcth on when no man can werk, 
Let me work while it is day.” M. M.

"Ha! the regiment leaves Strasburg; 
and pray, captain, -whither is it going?” 
“ Into Austria; we are going to Vienna, 
my brave Pitois. We are going to fight the 
Austrians. Art thou not glad of this ? T
