THERE are many associations connected with the
early part Of the life of man, to which It is pleasing
TO recur, when time has blanched his locks, and
wrinklad his brow. To recall to our minds the

many painful as we'll as pieasurable emotions. To

WHEN SHOULD LOVERS BREATHE
THEIR vows.

When should lovers breathe their VOWS
When should ladies' hear them'
When hetlew is on the boughs,
When none else are near them;
When the moon shines cold and pale,
When the birds are sleeping,
When no voice is OH the gale,
When the rose is weeping;
When the stars are bright on high,
Like hopes in young Loves dreaming,
And glancng round the light clouds fly,
Like soft fears to shade their beaminr.
The fairest smiles are those that live
On the brow by starlight wreathing;
And the lips their richest incense give
When the sigh is at midnight breathing.
oh, softest is the cheeks love ray
When seen by moonlight hours,
O'her roses seek the day,
But bushes are pight-howers
Oh, when the moon and stars are bright.
When the dew drops glisten,
Then their VOWS should lovers plight,
Then should ladies listen.

SONG.

SONG.
Dost thou idly ask to hear
AT what gentle seasons
Nymphs relent, when lovers near
Press the tenderest reasons
All, they give their faith too oft
To the careless wooer;
Maidens' hearts are always soft,
Would that mems were truer!
Woo the fair one, when around
Early birds are singing;
When, Ger all the fragrant ground,
Early herbs are sprnging:
When the brooksde, bank and grove,
All with blossoms laden,
Shine with beauty, breathe of love-
Woo the timid maiden.
Woo her, when, with rosy blush,
Summer eve is sinking;
When, on rills that softly gush;
Stars are softly winking;
When, through boughs that knit the bower,
Moonlight CLEANS are stealing
Woo her, till the gentle hour
Wakes gentler feeling.
Woo her, when autumnal dyes
Tinge the woody mountain;
When the dropping foliage lies,
In the hal choked fountain;
Let the scene, that tells how fast
Youth is passing over,
Warn her, ere her bloom is past,
To secure her lover.
Woo her, when the northwinds call
At the lattice nightly;
When, within the cheerful hall,
Blaze the faegots brightly;
While the wintry tempest round
Sweeps the landscape hoary,
Sweeter in her ear shall sound
Loves delightful story.
