To sfe Lady zvho smiles gvhcn NEE! her.
BY ALBERTO.
There's pair of bright eyes that Nature has
made,
Aud encirced with snow to display them,
And soft signing love who dwels in the shade,
OF those wild little eyes to betray them.
Two lips, too, are seen as rosy as MORN,
When the light of the east has assembled,
And white heaving breast OF snowy wrea thes
born,
Where beauty and virtue are blended.
Would you know, gentle reader, the name OF this
maid,
The name of this all perfect creature?
lis her whom the fond lavish graces array'd,
lis the lady who smiles when meet her.
Her dark chestnut ringlets so sweetly entwine,
That love hating stole might dread them,
And her peach blossom cheeks are almost divine
When modesty's blushes oersprcad them.
her voice Us as sweet as the nightingale's song
When il signs on the zephyrs at even,
And her breath is The wild young flowers a
morn,
Just impearl'd with the dew drops of heaven
Yes-this is the maid who won my first love,
BY the charm of each Writ ue and feature,
And through life, joy, and sorrow, how fondly l.,
With the lady who smiles when meet her.

ON LEARNING

"Ah, full of danger is the uphill road,
That leads the youth to learnings high abodej
Ills way thick mists of vulgar error blind,
And sneeriDg satire follows close behind,
Sour envy strews the rugged path with thorns,
And lazy ignorance his labor scorns"
