curate, as he departed, with a consolatory look towards Nelly, who replied to it by volumes of grateful words; and they did not fall alone, for the whole assembly joined in some mode of testifying respect. When the clamour had subsided, and the malaria district was passed, it became matter of cogitation in which, "whether to marry or not to marry for the poor was best?" but the declaration of honest Sullivan, and the pleasure of his countenance as he hugged his " youngest darlint," decided the matter, and there was consolation in finding that even at Saffron Hill that virtue, connubial love," which Cowper says "survived the fall," was flourishing in primeval beauty.

We do not believe that one of our readers can be so dead to the sympathies which touch all hearts, in all conditions, as not to desire that even this humble couple should be made happy in each other, and thereby saved from the nost degrading state of poverty to which, in all seasons of trouble, we well know such persons never fail to resort.

Their adviser sought and obtained employment for Terence, and increased that of Nelly, on which the provident sister withdrew the only opposition which could have weighed with her lover, whose affection, and deference to one who was "not only his best friend, but his born sisther, and the likes of a mother to him," is no little earnest of his future good conduct. Enough to say, that as May is the mother of Love, the close of it saw them united, on which occasion Nelly appeared as timid and retiring as brides of high degree.

The tragedy of humble life, like that of heroines and princesses, has its moments of excitement, and in the agony of love and fear, no wonder a damsel quitting the wash-tub for the war of words, should have been voluble, impassioned, and energetic. The hour of trial was past, and Nelly was now modest and retiring, yet evidently affectionate and grateful, to say nothing of her happiness.

But it is yet certain that Terence wants a coat-that a pair of shoes would greatly benefit him, for beyond an improvement on the fumbled hat, and a "clane shirt," their bettered circumstances could not go. You are tall, Sir; Stultz considers you one of his most elegant customers, and Nature, who understands fine forms almost as well, has certainly distinguished you; show gratitude for her favours by

kindness to one of her humblest pets-that discarded frock coat or the riding one that you spoiled at Ascot or, in short, any thing you can spare, will be riches to Terence, and the pride and glory of poor Nelly.

THE MISTAKE.

That frown on your brow is alarming;
A lover my die at that air, Miss!
But whether you're sulky or charming
I vow, by my life, I don't care, Miss!

Because I have sung of a beauty

With whom you have nothing to do, Miss!
Your glass, (how it swerved from its duty)
Has taught you to think I meant you, Miss!

But banish that frown so alarming

Your beau (if you've one) to befriend, Miss!

I said that my Mary was charming,

And there all your doubtings should end, Miss!
