SPRING.

Again the infant flowers of Spring
Call thee to sport on thy rainbow wing
Spirit of Beauty the air is bright
With the boundless flow Of thy mellow light
The woods are ready to bud and bloom,
And are weaving for Summer their quiet gloom;
The tufted brook reflects as it flows,
The tips of the halfunopened rose,
And the early bird, as he carols free,
Sings to his little love and thee,
See how the clouds, as they feetly pass,
Throw theirshadowy veil on the darkening grass;
And the pattering showers and stealing dews,
With their starry gems and skyey hues,
From the oozy meadow, that drinks the tide,
To the SHELTERED vale on the mountain side,
Wake to a new and fresher birth
The tenderest tribes Of teeming earth,
And scatter with light and dallying play
Their earliest flowers in the Zephyr'S way.
He comes from the mountains piny steep,
For the long boughs bend with a silent sweep,
And his rapid steps have hurried DER
The grassy hills to the pebbly shore;
And now, on the breast Of the lonely lake,
The waves in silvery chances break,
Like a short and quickly rolling sea,
When the gale first feels it's liberty,
And the fakes of foam, like coursers, run,
Rejoicing beneath the vertical sun.
lie has crossed the lake, and the forest heaves
70 the sway of his wings its billowy leaves,
And the downy tufts Of the meadow fly
In snowy clouds, as he passes by,
And softly beneath bis noseless tread
The odorous spring grass bends its head;
And now he reaches the woven bower,
Where he meets his own beloved flower,
And gladly his wearied limbs repose
In the shade Of the newly-opening rose. P.

CONCLUDED.
While my commercial business was
transacted in profound secrecy, the story
Of my marriage became the subject OF
public conversation. Aurora, in the Sc
Clusion of her monastery, declaimcd
against me violently. She imprudently
attacked the engravers, which, instead
Of making them laughers on her side,
engaged them firmly in my defence.
Aurora gave out the marriage was TO be
snnuled. The abbess of the cnnvent
who was very respectable woman, ex-
erted all her influence to obtain that pur-
Pose. Aurora's father had bis friends
and protectors, and altogether the party
was very formidable. We were threat
ened with defeat ard disgrace but tbs
most bitter part was to endure alone.
The epgravers made themselves merry,
remarking how Aurora punished her
own pride in raising such talk about
the matter; but their merriment did not
soften the stern cnuntenance OF Justice.
A proclamation was issued for my ar
rest; but no one knew me and escaped
that. Al last the cause came to hear
ing.
Aurora obtained guard to conduct
her to court. She made her appearance
in oil the lustrc Of beauty, adorned with
the ineffable charm Of her unaffected
modesty. Scarcely ever did cause at
tract more numerous audience He
council plead her cause with an clio
quence that drew tears from almost eve
ry person in the assembly. The Judges
carried away with those feelings thai
pervaded every heart, were about to pro
nounce sentence.
The engraver, whom Aurora had dis
cardei perceiving that there was non,
to defend me, rose and asked leave Il
