LANGUAGE OF LOVE

For the Liverpool Standard.)

a language of its own,
an music's dulcet strain ;
inc fancy's softest tone,

, -
lody might reign,
e a note, a sound so dear,

Or so entrance the captive ear

1 oft to nature's voice—

!st's song, the zephyr's sigh ;
rd the sportive waves rejoice,
the smiling summer sky ;

3ve's accents bi

han nature's minstrelsy

earthly langu,

ge bear

]gh all were still, and on the air

ho never stole,—

can utter more

ichest store

5 the tender tale could tell
king glance will oft disclose !

-its that in the bosom swell,

NV nisp'ring prophetic joys and woes.
Oft mirror'd in that look are found,
And breathe their eloquence around.

s utter'd by the smile

That love

often cause to play !
chases joy awhile

teal homage to its sway ;
eaks in each, and not in vain
of fancy woos the strain.

__ ,az'd on the liquid eye,
ling with love's celestial ray,—
se ear hath caught the plaintive sigh
._'s busy fears have sent astray,—
at hath not read, in these, a tale,
rich vet to tell might language fail?

Who hath

Yes, love hath notes which all may hear,
To life's minutest actions strung ;
And joy and sorrow, hope and fear,
Are whisper'd by its magic tongue ;
Oft doth it utter thoughts below,
Which, else, mankind would never know.

WEEP BOY'S SONG ON THE ABOLITION
OF CHIMNEY-CLIMBING.

ss long chimnies or short,
sweeper-boy climb ;
11 clean children in sadness or sport,
Lccount of the grime.
s knees and his back be made raw,
e they have been,
is small body through small flues to draw—
reary work never was seen.

hen your chimney has been all a-blaze,
oot is stil,l red-hot inside,
or little sweep, without pity or praise,
guisher plied.

with his blanket, all barefoot and chill,
dark snowy morn, shall he creep,
,als crying, long, sadly and shrill—
T ! sweep !"—but who pitied the sweep ?
ere those that pitied him—good men and kind,
Ldies full many a score ;
7 has the parliament been of their mind,
le sweep-boy's a sweep-boy no more!

be to God, who put into each heart,
;s of kindness for us ;
D the friends who so nobiy took part

n of sufferers thus

ks to t

kindness, who so long have striven,

ind to set the sweep free ;
lidst the blessings of earth and heaven
work a recompense see.

t thank them—and thank them we will,
s and the thousands beside,

for their labours, year after year still
dark dreary trade bad been tied.

is as we live, while we think on the days

strait chimney we crept ;
ve shivered through icy-cold days—
er, soot-hamper'd we slept.

ver forget one bright scene in the year,
think of the grand Cutlers' Hall,
d Easter Monday, kind friends, and good cheer,
oliday made for us all.

hen, hurrah ! for our masters—may each
;ood trade—be steady and strong ;
h ! for the sweeping machine, which will reach
funnels , straight, crooked, and long.

or ourselves—cap, scraper, and brush—
ted up chimney no more :
you who will, for the price of a rush,
)-boy's a climber no more!
