too have lov'd--when life was in its fOunt,
And hopes luxuriant Aow'rets smild around:
Tho world was then paradise to me;
The blush'd cloudless, Ikea beauty'scheek
In amber radiance glowing, while the storms
Far in the bosom of futurity
Utter'd no howl, and threw no darkness round.
too have lov'd--no fairer form than hers
Fer blest the visions of Arcadia's youth,
Or foated, fancy form'd, upon the mind
OF Candia's poets in moonlight hour.
Her eyes mark that line of mildest light
Just melting into darkness in the West:
So bright, SO dark were they-her coal black
hair $3.50
Flutter'd around her sunny face, like clouds
In dewy eve, around the setting sun;
Her cheek, It's not the rose alone, for there
No fresh and shining wilderness can be found !;
IT'S not the lilly's bloom, for there no blush
OF beauty's soft and mildest hue is seen.
/ too have lov'd---but human happiness
Shines but to fade-like snow wreaths on the
brow @ es,s5 Is So ia
Of the wild cataract-I too have lov'd s
And dared to tell that love-but she, the one
So long and fondly lov'd replied, g dear Sir
I'd rather be excus'd.'

DEATH AND THE DRUNKARD.

His form was fair, his cheek was health;
His word bond, his purse was wealth
With wheat his field was cover'd DER,
Plenty sat smiling at his door.
His wife the fount of ceaseiess joy;
How laugh d his daughter, play d his boy ~
His library, though large, was read,
Till half its contents fill'd his head.
At morn twas health, wealth, pure delight,
Twas health. wealth, peace and bliss at night.
/ wish'd not to disturb his bliss
IRIS gone! but all the fault was his.
The social glass saw him sieze,
The more with festive wit to please.
Daily increased his love of cheer
All, little thought he was near!
Gradual indulgence on him stole,
Frequent became the midnight bowl.
in that bowl the headache placed,
Which, with the juice his lips embraced.
Shame next mingled with the draught;
Indignantly he drank and laugifd.
