look back, through the vista of time, npnn the sor

worn and smoothed away in the twilight OF life,
whilst the sunny spots we have passed through

Yet this sweet bud, If nurs'd with care,
Soon INTO fullness would be swelling,
And nurtur'd by some gen'rous hand,
So might my little sister Ellen.
She's sleeping in the hollow tree,
Her only home--its leaves her bedding,
And I've no food to carry there,
To soothe the tears she will be shedding.
oh that those mourner's tears which fall!
That bell which heavily is kneling;
And that deep grave we're meant for me,
And my poor little sister Ellen!
When we in silence are laid down,
In lfe's last fearless, blessed sleeping,
No tears will fall upon our grave,
Save those ofpitying Heav'n's own weeping.
Unknown we've liv'd, unknown must die,
No tongue the mourniul tale be telling,
OF two young, brokcn-heartcd girls
Poor Mary and her sister Ellen!
No one has bought of me to-day,
And night is now the town o'ershadng,
And like these poor dropping flowers,
Unnoticed and unwept am fading.
My soul is struggling TO be free
|, Dathes its wreched earthly dwelling!
My limb, refuse to bear their load
Oh God protect lone orphan Ellen.

lillock's eastern side,

Upon hllock's eastern sidc,
Where brightest glowed the flood of day,
Arrayed in aromatic pride,
4 beautco'is nymph detected lay.
J wondering, kened the curious maid.
From eyes Of light her tears did flow,
20 gem the bloom but recent laid
Ga spotle IS cheeks of purest snow.
As zephyr light her loose attire,
With sweets embued, cast incense round,
And pendant o'er her hung Tyre,
Which unseen fingers taught to sound;
A rod, unwreath'd, of brilliant fame,
OF magic virtues graced her handi
She gently hreathd, as heavens own flame,
But touched, and 10 The buds expand.
Flushed was her cheek---as young rose fair;
Her plaintiye accents mildly sweet,
Green tendris bound her glossy hair,
And dew.drors glittered OH her feet;
She cast around a mo,Irnfui glance,
Der howcrless fields and forests bare.
And sighcd-but song nor frolc dance,
Nor happy labor's smile was there.
Her name was Spring she wept those flowers
Which erst adorn the busy plain,
Mysterious change he tribute showers
Recalled and fixed their tnts again,
Then round the oak the ivy wreathes,
Crhus Beauty clings TO 'alor's arm,)
And softly smiles and warmly brcathes:
Fen his rough nature owns the charm.
Up rose the maid her dazzling zone
With gems Of morning lustre glowed,
Whrre'er her form resplendent snone
tlowret blush'd, rivulet flowed
Triumphant sought with ightsome tread,
some valley stream!et's sunny shore,
10 tell her whom her bounty ted,
That plenty reigned supreme once more.
with tasteful negligence she s,rewed
Her fragrant stores prof,isey gay,
While mlr'h and JOY in ,jocund mood,
Inpped gaily in the chequered way.

Her mantle gently DER the trees,
|he brodered robe unfolding hung
In sportive dsilance with the breeze.
1 Exclrslve, on the geld steep
She treads, and frees its noisy stream
The spary sides of cavern deep,
With minglng brilance sudden CLEAN;
And then to close the witching scene,
She termed lone outrageous bower,
d ihen spread carpet, broad and green,
y uf velvet, worked with many flower.
