She is not mine, and to my heart Perhaps she is less de?ir Than those who of my life are part This is the sin 1 f ar: And ever in the dread to err, By loving those the best, More gentle have I been to her, Perhaps, than nil the rest. Has any little fault occur! eo, Thai may rebuke demand. Ere 1 can speak a hasty word, Or lilt a chiding hand. An angel' face comes flitting by, With look so sad and mild A voice floats softly from the sky "Wouldst harm my orphan child?" No witness thou and ul! above, I'll cheriih her as mine, Or may I lose her father' love, A love that once was thine! THE PEASANT'S STRATAGEM.

A poor simple peasant, of the nnme of Cricket heinir heartily tired of his daily fare cf brown bread and cheese, resolved, whatever might be the con - sequence, to procure to himself, by honk or by crook, three sumptuous meals. I hiving taken this courageous and nobie resolution, the next thing was to devi-e a pl.i n and, put it into execution,nnd here his good fortune befriended him- The wile of a rich nahoh in the neighborhood of his COttMue, during iho ubsenoe of hvr hu!banc Sost a valuable diamond ring ; she offered a great reward to any person who would recover it, or give nny tidings of the jewel, but no one was likely io do either ; for three of her own footmen, of whose fidelity she had r.ot the smallest doubt, hdd stolen it. The loss soon reached our glutton's, ears: 'PI! go,' cries he; 'I'll fay I'm a conjuror, and 1 will dicover where the gem is hidden, on condition of first re civ.ng three splendid meals.
