Ere doomd by fate TO sever
But all can forget

On wanton zephyrs straying
Thine eyes Of liquid blue,
Where light Of soul was playing
Thy voice, whose dulcet thrill,
Awak'd such sweet emotion,
| seem 20 hear il still,
Though far upon the ocean
Twas these that charm'd me then,
When first and last | met thee
We may not meet again,
But ne'er can forget thee.
Twas evening when we met,
BY Amos ripping hillow-

II was lovely night,
The balmy breeze was signing,
And heavens sweetest light
On tower and streams was lying;
When in some thiekei's shade
His vows the lover s telling,
Like breasts of listening maid,
The playful waves were swelling
We met-and only met
Ere doom'd by fate to sever;
Tut "a can forget

pected, they prove an excellent palliative
Wy eXpectoration, relieving pain and pro-
'ucing sleep.
Numerous certificates of the virtues Of
lhese pills might easily be procured, but it

THE WrTREn'D FLOWER.

Tho flower you gave me is faded
And the vows that you brenthed were untrue
The bosom where peace you've invaded,
Still sghs--but it sighs not for YOU
Twas the semblaucc of honor that won me,
Not the wretch in that semblauCo arrayd
Now your spells have no power upon mo-,
Could the tears have shed on this flower
Its fragrance and beauty rcnow,
] might hope that repentance hath power
To alter--to purify you
Bat alas il is vithcrid forever.
No arts can its sweetness restore;
And the name Of it's giver will never
BE unsullicd and dear us before.

THE PARTING SONG.
by MRS. HEnANs.

az hear thee, o thou rushing stream, thou'rt
from my native dell,
Thourt bearing thence mournful sound-a
murmur of farewell
And fare thee well--how on my strsam how
on thou bright and free
do but dream that in thy voice, one tone la.
mcnts for me;
But have been thing unloved, from child
hoods loving years,
And therefore turns my soul 10 theo, for thou
hast known my tears
The mountains, and the caves, and thou, my
secret tears have known:
The woods can tell where he hath wept, that
ever wept alone
see thee once again, my home thouri there
amidst thy vines,
And clear upon thy cleaning roof, the light
of summer shines,
II is q Joyous hour when eve comes whisper
ing through the groves,
The hour that brings the son from toll, the
hour the mother loves;
The hour the mother lovOsi--for me beloved
il hath rot been;
Yet ever in its purple smile, thou smil'st n
blessed scenel
Whose quiet beauty o or my soul through dis
tant years will come
Yet what but az the dead, TO thee, shall be
tuSH hohA'
Not as tho dead--no, not the dead! we speak
of them--we keep
Their names, like light that must not fade,
within our bosoms doep;
We hallow even the Tyre they touched, we
love the lay they sung,
Wo pass with softer step tho place they fll'd
our band among!
But depart like sound, liko dow, like aught
that leaves on earth
No trace Of sorrow or delight, no memory Of
go!--the echo Of the rock thousand songs
may swell
Wlfen mine is forgotten voice Woods,
mountains, home, farewell
And farewell mother have borne in lonely
silence long,
Dut now the current of my soul grows pas
sionate and strong
And | will speak! though but the wind that
wanders tbro the sky,
And but the dark doep rustling pines and roll I
ing streams reply
Yes! | will speak! within my heart whate er !
hath seem'd TO bo,
There lies n hidden iount Of love, that would /
have gushed for theel
Brightly il would have gushed, but thou--my |
mother thou hast thrown
Back ON tho forest and the wilds what shohld
have been thine own
Then fare thee velll leave thee not in loneli-
ness TO pine,
Since thou hast sons OF statoler mehl ana
farer brow than mine
Forgive me that thou could'st not lovo! It NAV |
be that n tone
Yet frommy burning heartmay pierce through !
thine when | am gone!
And thou, perchance, mayst weep for whom ,
thou ne 'er hast smld,
And the grave give his birthright back to thy /
neglected child,
Might but my spirit then return and midst d. /
kindred dwell,
And qucnch it's thirst with lovo's free tears

MEMOIR Y.

Whatever has once given us pain or
pleasure is remembered long. and recurred
too often, as we pass down the journey OF
life TO the gray hairs and solitudcs OF
our last years. Love has been to every
one the source of both. Every one
has treasured away on the sacred pa
ges of memory thousand little incl.
dents, ever TO be revealed in time, 10
which. as to some fascinating fiction. II
returns. whenever gloomy or an idle, un-
social hour. calls up the musing spirit
and turns the mind upon the past. Life,
reviewed through the mists of bygone
years, seems rather a curious wrought fic
ton. or feverish dream. than stern re-
slity. We are surrounded by mementos
OF the affection of friends, but these friends
themselves are gone.-We remember the
councils Of wisdom, the sage instructions
of experience. by which our minds were
formed, and direction gwen to the cur
rent Of our thoughts aid habits, but the
