SECRET DEVOTION.
I love to steal awhile.awaj
From every emberinff care.
And spend the hours of setting Uaj
In humble, gratefiJ prayer,
X lore in striitude to abatf "
The penitential tear, . "
AnQ all his promises t plead,
Where none but dodeanhear.,
I love to think n mercies past.
And future good implore.
And all ray sighs and sorrow cast
On Him whom I adore.
I lore by faith to take a riewr
Of brighter scenes in heaven :
Soch prospec's of my sense renew,
" While here by tempests driven.
Thus when life's toilsome day is o'er,
May its departing ray
Becalm as this impressive hour
And lead to endless day.'
Vtrttil addressed to a littU girt named Marga

.Margaret we never met before;
And Margaret, we may meet no more !
1 What shalf r say at parting ?;
Scarce half a moon has run its race, '
Sin re first I saw your fairy race,
Around this gay and giddy place
Sweet smiles and blushes darting ;
"Yet from my heart I freely tell, I
I cannot help but wish yon well.'
1 dare not wish you store- of wealth,
A troop of friends, unfailing health, r
! And freedom from affliction:
2 dare not wish you beauty's prize,
Carnal ion lips and bright blue eyes
They speak thro tears and breathe thro sighs!
Then bear my benediction : ! j
1 Of those good thiusrs be thou posses t,
Just in the measure GOD thinks best. ;
JB;t, little Margaret, may yot be, J
All that His eye delight to see,
! - Ail that he loves and blesses;
The Ljrd in darkness be y -ur light, . -
Your treogth in sickness, shield in fight,.
h Y .'ur comfort in distresses; . '.;
j Tho hope of every t itura braath, "
And your eternal joy in death. . r

The game of chess is of Eastern ori
gitiy and it will readily be supposed
that to permit the representation of a
woman to move about in uninterrup
ted freedom, even on a' chess-board, -would
be repugnant to Oriental no
tions of propriety. In .the Persian
language, the word Ferz or Ferzin,
signifies an ofiicer of state a vizier.
Fhis word was, by the French con
verted? into Fierge and Vierge, and
Uhe piece so named was subsequently

One variety or rattle snajie is vel low,
and said to inhabit the same burrows,
