All doubts of the success Of work on the

intellectual advantages from the renovation.
The climate lovely as it is. and genial to the
perfect growth of mind and body, will not &C

OF the free blue stream and the glorious sky,
And the bright world shut from his languid eve;
They will bear him thought of the sunny hours
And dream of his youth-bring him flowers wild

Bring flowers, fresh flowers, for the bride to wear,
They were born to blush in her shining hair;
She is leaving the house of her childish mirth;
She has bid farewell to her fathers hearth
Her place is now by anothers side

We parted on the spot OF ground,

And the tests were ever loud around,
And the lamps were bright above g.

The blast is very keen;

One look is Ger the tide, Love,

Alas, your lips are roster,
Your eyes of softer blue,
And have never felt for her
AS have felt for you;
Our love was like the bright snow fakes,
Which melt before you pass,
Or the bubble on the wine, which breaks
Before you lip the glass;
You saw these eyelids wet, Love,
Which she has never seen -
But bid me not forget, Love,
