THE STEP-DAUGHTER
"She is not mine, and to my heart
. Perhaps she is less dear
Than those who of my life are part—
This is the sin I feir:
kind ever ih the dread to err,
By loving those the best,
More gentle have I been to her,
Perhaps, than all the rnst.
lias any little fault occurred,
That may rebuke demand.
Ere I can speak a hasty word,
Or lift a chiding hand,
An angel's face comes dining by.
With look so sad and mild—
A voice floats sofUy from the sfcv—
'• Wouldat harm my orphan child f"
No—witness thou and all above,
I'll cherish her ar mine.
Or may I lose her father's love,
A love that once was thine!

From Chamlvers' Edinburgh Journal
A Skelelou in every lleuoe.
When buffering under the pressure ol our own
loss, if not altogether sink under it. It was his
most anxious wish that some means should be
used to prevent her being overpowered by grief;
and an expedient for that purpose at length sug-gested
itself to him. He wrote a letter to his
mother, informing her of his illness, but not ofits
threatening character, and requesting that she
would send him a shirt made by the happiest la-dy
in aM Naples, or she who appeared most freo
of the cares and sorrows of this world, for he had
taken a fauey for such auarticle, and had a no-tion
that by wearing it he would be speedily cur-ed.
The countess thought her son's request ra-ther
odd; but being loth to refuse any thing that
would give him even a visionary satisfaction, she
instantly set about her enquiry after the happiest
lady in Naples, with the view of requesting her
kind offices after the mannci described. Her en-quiry
was tedious and difficult; every body she
could think of, or who was pointed out to her,
was found, on searching nearer, to have her own
share of troubles. For some lime, she almost
despaired ; hut having nevertheless persevered,
she at length was introduced to one—a middle-aged
married lady—who not only appeared to
have all the imaginable materials of worldly bliss,
but bore every external mark of being cheerful
and contented in her situation. To this fortu-nate
dame, the Countess preferred her request,
making the circumstances ol the case her only ex-cuse
for so strange an application. " My dear
countess," said the lady, " spare all apology, for,
if I hail really been qualified for the task, I would
most gladly have undertaken it. Hut if you will
! just follow mo to another room, 1 will prove to I
I you thai I am the most miserable woman in Na-plrs."
So saying, she led the mother to
very I'lrcaliiing ones, besides a great number of
lesser magnitude, and then, although the direct
distance does, as staled, not exceed sixty miles,
the course of the river is made at least two hun-dred
miles by the exceedingly tortuous course of
its stream. This reduces the fall to not more
than six feet in the mile, for which the numer-ous
rapids in the river sufficiently account

I had scarcely got homo before I heard reports
ol cannon and musketry, which grew louder by
degrees, till at last the noise became excessive.

The table, which was already set. was instantly
removed, and a bed placed in us stead for the

the noise grew louder, and the alarm increased ,
the thought that my husband might, perhaps, be
brought in, wounded in the same manner, was
lerrrible to inc. and distressed me exceedingly.

to imagine that there is no intellect, no patriot-ism,
no eloquence, no anything of a nature to im-part
dignity to man, as a moral and social being,
beyond the territorial boundaries of the sacred

Wc remember a alory in the course of our
reeding, which illustrates this fallacy in a very
affecting manner. A widow of Naples, named.
if we recollect rightfully, the Countess Corsini,
had but one son remaining lo give her an inter-est
in the tvorld ; and he was a youth so remark-able
for the elegance of his person, and every,
graceful and amiable quality, that, eieti if he had
not stood in that situation of unusual tenderness
towards his mother, she might well ha\c been ex-cused

conveying intelligence ofher son's death, which
iu other circumstances would have ovenurned
her reason, or broken her heart, but, prepared as
she was by the foresight uf her son, produced on-ly
a rational degree of grief. When the first
acute sensations were past, she said resignedly
lo herself, that, great as the calamity was, it was
probably no greater than what her fellow-crea-tures
were enduring every day, and she would
therefore submit will, tranquility.
The application of ibis tale, tinged as it is with '
Ihe peculiar hue of continental manners and idea,
must be easy lo every one of our readers. They
must see how great a fallacy it is lo suppose that
others are, more generally than otiiselves, spared
any of the common mishaps of life, or dial we,
