Hescar'S return ard death Of Ina.
-" The fowret blossoms IN the
balmy gale. and thritcs beneath the
p"arly dew : aud why does The light
OF my soul sit alone IN darkness OF
solitude Hcscar returns in the robe
Of repentance, and cries "a the Eu-
charist disciple. Oh. hold up thy
head, SNOW white lily Of the VAL. for
the sun shines blush as the ruddy
cheek ofthat snu. thon dropping rose
bud for the rainbow sets at mcridi-
an. and the dark mantle Of the storm
hangs On the horizon. Arise. then,
and bloom as ever, while the TEN
pest rides on the crest Of the ocean
wave. and will not Ulna heed the
voice of the rcpentant There was
time that Ulna smiled, if lIcscar
spake. as the fairy Eve of Paradise
when the dew Of her eye showcred
in silver blots ON his t,espass, as the
tear Of the recording angel on the
oath of the enthusiast when the
breath Of her love, drank OF the
bursting anguish, of his heart, softly
and gently rs the wind IN summer
time holds Vespers by the tributary
moon. Now, not IA welcome to his
return, nor "A tear drop for the Joy

chrc THUS spake Hesear to the
brown eyed maid--tlie last lamb Of
EiAeena's nursing stolen pridx
oil the war stricken kalmarn.
Ulna, thrice one year since, was
blltIIe as the spring lark bcanteouS
as the summers twilight, spntless az
the vestal robe. As "A scraph she
breathed in the sabbath hymn, aud
Jloyed in the rustic festival with her
- souls delight" ever as tl!r" MAJ
day queen )" 2tstely she walked AS
a heaven boz eMairsiy sat on her
brow. as the WlsNon the white noun
tain's sides. Soltswere her eyes as
the plume on the Paradise bird
bright as two solitary stars resting
on the bosom Of the ocean, in a
m0onless night, over which the tenu-
oas lash hung guard, aud dipped in
the tear that would steal upon its
watch, as sentinel giving sudden
note of anxiety. Her forehead was
smooth as the breast Of the dove, X
white as an untrackcd snow hill !;
over which the trcSses sat, braided,
as il by fairy hands or, Heated in
modest rcyel on the breeze, glIst-
ming at times like the shrub on the
highland hill at an autumual twi-
light. The rose sat upon her check,
! like loundling, nursed by their
care and blooming in "A garden Of Ii

pearl flourishrd IN an ambr0sial bed.
Ulua was, indeed, lhyce one year
since, blithe az the morning lark
beauteOns as summers twilight
scencry-spotiess as the yestal robe.
Why is she altered Thrice one
year since, Ulna loved fDndly-
iondly as the often nnappeased ring
bird.--Hescar had kissed as lscari-
ot. As IA wolf in the heart blood of
its victim, he howled IN tue ruby
bowl. He forgot as a drinker from
l.ethe. Repentance comes slow as
the wrath OF heaven. Hescar's un-
holy pledge Ulna had sra, cd as a
sacrifice Therefore does the pride
of the war strict en- Cainarn no long
en- sing in her JOY, nor mourn IN the
sorrow Of her heal" Bleach'd is her
hair as the lock of the hermit pal
