THE DREAM OF LOVE.

and indescrbable beauty on its brilliant surface
painted the most inmitable pictures of light
and life graceful clouds foated in the bosom of
the mimic sky tiny irradiatcd the little world,
and cast all the magic of light and shade over
landscape of most bewiching splendour. crea-
ton, bright as poet could imagine, glowed before
me, but Of the air broke the spell of its tran
STORY, but beautiful existence, and it was gone
1t was like dream of love. If there is one happy
being in creation, it is the lover in the luxury of his
visionary aspiratons-if there is single blissful
moment, like star sparkling in the shadowy hrma-
ment of life, it is that which discovers long nour-
ished affection to be mutual.
The moon, as she rides on through her infnity
Of space, has not greater effect upon the ocean
side, than has the passion of love upon the tide of
human thought-now permitting it to settle down
into state of temporary ulity-again bidding
it heave and swell, by the magic of its viewless
power Without it, what would be the world AS
creation without light; yet possessing it, as We
do, how does it discompose the sobercst plans of
reason how do the lofty buwarks of stern philo-
sophy bow down and disappear before the fragrance
OF its breath tits the poetry of thought, when
son sumbers on her stately throne or wanders away
in happy dreams. 1t is scarcely to be defined, for
it seems in perpetual halo Of soft light, which daz-
zles while fascinates the minds eyes. IT is to the
spirit what sunshine is to the 1ower-luring the
fragrance from its bosom, and bringing out all the
energies of its young nature, the hand of beau
ty to the slumberng lutte, passing over the silent
chords, till sit doth discourse most eloquent mu-

Suddenly he stood before me an altered being

Its moisture was often succeeded by fash and
its fire again extinguished in the trembling tear
He stunned the rude clamor of the busting world.
and would steal away into solitary recess, and
in the still shade Of the forest ponder the Sweet
ness of his own sorrow. His mind became almost
world of ITSELF and thousands of visions rose obe-
dent at the call of creative thought-his SOUL lift
ed high on fancy's wing, would explore, in its wild
and beautiful career the fathomess regions of ina
gination, through all the variety of its magnificent
domain. He loved deeply, devotedly. 1t was more
than love-t was alteration. The object of his pas
sion was all that woman could be. There is no OBJ

ton was more graceful than the heave of the sea,
or the change of the cloud, and the magic of mind,
cleaning through all her words, and looks, and ac-
tons, shed around her charm more grateful than
Arabian incense.
No wonder my hero bowed down before her no
wonder that the sound of her voice was always in
his ear, that her image before him in his daily
occupations, and bore part in the mysterious chan
ges of his dream. There was no affcctaton in her
nature, and she confessed she loved him-they
