TOO MANY LOVERS.

When heart is contented with one little Love,
No pleasures, no follies can tempt him to rove,
In storm and in sunshine that Que love will live,
Outweighing all else that the ide world can give.
But when one little heart 6irts with too many loves,
Each cupid wild little wanderer proves;
His smile has no charm; his resentment no sting,
His faith is more light than butteray's wing.
When too many loves sport in beauty's fair bowers,
They scatter The blossom of too many flowers;
They revel mid roses all day but hey leave
No fragrance, bloom, to refresh them at eve;
BIT when beauty admits only one little guest,
He flies to one rose never needing the rest,
That one rose may wher, yet sweet to the last,
Twill serve for his pillow, when summer is past.

THE SONGS OF OUR FATHERS.

"Slng aloud
ID Songs, the precious Music of the Heart
IYo7t'sryt
Sing them upon the sunny hills,
When days are long and bright,
And the blue CLEAN of shining rls
Is loveliest to the sight
Sing them along the misty moor,
Where ancient hunters roy'd,
And swell them through the torrents roar,
The songs our fathers lov'd!
The songs heir souls reioiced to hear
When harps were in the hall,
And each proud note made lance and spear
Thr on the hammered wall:
The songs that through our valleys green,
Sent on from age to age,
Like his own rivers voice, have been
The peasants heritage.
The reaper Sings them when the vale
Is filled aith pumy sheaYes;
The woodmar, by the starlight pale,
Cheefed homeward through the leaves
And unto them the glancing oars
Joyous measure keep,
Where the dark rocks that crest our shores
Dash back the foaming deep.
So let it be Ia light they shed
O'er each old fount and grove
memory Of the gentle dead,
lingering spell of love.
Murmuring the names of mighty men,
They bid our streams roll oh,
And link high thoughts to every glen
Where valiant deeds were done.
Teach them your children round the hearth,
When evening fires burn clear,
And in the fields of harvest mirtb,
And on the hills of deer
So shall each unforgotten word,
When far those lov'd ones roam,
Call back the hearts which once it stirred,
To cEildhoods holy home.
The green woods of their native land
Shall whisper in the strain,
The voices Of their household band,
Shall breathe their names again;
The heahery heights in vision rise
Where, like the stag, they rov'd--
Sing 10 your sons those melodies.
The songs your fathers oy'd
