POETRY.

I REMEMBER.

I remember, I remember, The house where I was born! The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn!

He never came a wink to soon, Nor brought too long a day, But now I often wish the light Had borne my breath away.

I remember, +

The roses red and white,

The violets and lily-cups, Those flowers made of light,-

The lilacs where the robins built, And where my brother set

The ladurnum on his birthday,- The tree is living yet.

I remember, I remember, Where I was used to swing,

And thought the air would rush as fresh To swallows on the wing. My spirit flew in feathers then, That is so heavy now; And summer pools could hardly cool The fever on my brow.

A Dream of History. Concluded.

Reclining against the tree itself, was one, who I knew at a glance could he no other than Bruce; that noble form and lofty, that grand and kingly face almost divine, glowing with intellect and high thought, 1 felt must be him of whom I had read many a long year afterwards in the spirit-kindling pages of Scott. He seemed to be plunged in a deep reverie, for his eyes were steadi- ly bent on the ground, and he lifted them not, save at rare intervals, and then cast keen rapid glances around and over the hills At length the earnest discourse of his com- panions who had finished their meal, rous- ed him from his deep musing, and leaving the tree he rejoined them, and began to confer gravely and seriously with several, who seemed by their appearance to be les- ser leaders of the party.

"Art thou well assured, Glenroy?" he said, addressing one who had evidently just returned from a scouting expidition. "Art thou assured that the enemy are as near at hand as was reported?"

"Most certain, my liege;" responded the soldier, "for although I could not see

"It is time they were here, even now" said the soldier; "several hours have elaps- ed since the alarm; surely they cannot be far hence, if they have not failed through tience, night has come again not a sound fear to come."

"Perish the thought," said the Chief, "I will never believe that William Lovel who is reported brave, even unto hardihood will turn craven in this extremity; hark! there is a sound of human footsteps on the brow ot yon hill; stand to your arms men, and be ready; I doubt me it is the young Chief of whom we were speaking, Glenory ; whoever they be, they are comming hith- erward, and now I can descern their forms darkly revealed against the sky.

SELF-INSTRUCTION.

Lord Brougham once remarked, that if we were deprived of what we learn during the first three years of our lives. we should be the most ignorant beings on the face of the globe. The learning refered to in that remark, is evidently science, acquired by self-instruction-a knowledge of the produe- tions of nature, and of the laws which gov-

Missing him from his side where he had ever been through the fight, and suspecting the reality he summoned his follower and made a sudden attack where the strife seemed hottest: he was just in time, tor sword and battle axe were uplifted around Bruce and from so many quarters that it was impossible to resist much longer. At. one plunge our hero precipitated himself on the scene : the enemy were driven back in wild disorder and disasterous havoc and the Chief was saved.

Bruce with his allies and followers with redubled vigour pressed the advantage they had gained and soon the ravine was empti- ed, save here and there a flying fugative who had resisted longer than the rest. The victory was complete and full.

Up to this time, and during the fight I had been an intensely interested spectator, bodied condition I was unable to join in the fray. But luckily for the reader perhaps, when victory was certain; when the enemy utterly disdomfeted, fled in wild dismay, I broke the mystic bonds that held me, and shouted so loud in the gladness of my heart that I-Awoke.

Our numbers being few, it behooves us to seek the most favorable vantage ground that we can; I need not ask you, friends and soldiers to be firm and strike boldly for, and with your lawful king.
