THE LOST DARLING.
BY MRS. sIGoURNEY.

She was my idol.--Night and day to scan
The fine expansion of her form-and mark
The unfolding mind like vernal rose bud start
To sudden beauty, was my chief delight
To find her fairy footsteps following me,
Her hand upon my garments, or her lip
Closed sealed to mine-and in the watch of night
The quiet breath of innocence to feel
Soft on my cheek, was such full content
Of happiness, as none but mothers know
Her voice was like some tiny harp that yields
To the slight-fngered breeze-and as it held
Brief converse with her doll-or kindly soothed
Her moaning kitten-or with patient care
COINED DER the alphabet-but most of all
Its tender cadence in her evening prayer,
Thrilled on the ear like some ETHEREAL tone,
Heard in sweet dreams. But now alone Sit
Musng of her, and dew with mournful tears
The little robes that once with woman's pride
wrought-as if there were need to deck
A being formed so beautiful. start,
Half fancying from her empty crib there comes
A restless sound, and breathe the accustomed word
s'Hush, hush, Louisa, dearest then weep,
As though it were a sin to speak to one
Whose home is with the angels
Gone to God
And vet wish had not seen the pang
That wrung her features--nor the ghostly white
Setting around her lips.-I would that Heaven
Had taken its own, like some transplanted flower,
In all its bloom and freshness
Gone TO God!-
Be still my eart!-What could mothers prayer
In all the widest extacy of hope,
Ask for its darling, like the bliss of Heaven.

For the Wing and IntelIlgencer'

TO THE MOCKING BIRD.
Sweet Mocking Bird, sweet Mocklng BRO
Though seldom thy voice have hearo'
Gush forth in music wild, and Tree,
OF rich and varied melody,
Yet for friend, | breathe my song,
Rr;oht monarch of the feather'd thIong'
For one. to whom thou art endear'd,
Sweet Mocking Bird, sweet Mocking BIRD
For oh if as he hastes along,
He hears thy soft melodious song,
Far from his ,custom'd walk he strays'
And lsts enraptur'd to thy lays.
Now seems upon the air to float,
The sweet Wood Thrushes mellow NOTE
And now the Linnet's plaintive song'
Comes breathing on the gale along
The Black Birds notes rich, full, and clear
Now fallmelodious on his ear;
The oentl. Doves sad, mournfui tale,
The swe,t notes of the Nightingale,
With every warbler's song giee,
OF soft, and varied melody.
Fntranc,d. he sees thee upward bound,
When gushes forth the last sweet s0uno'
As if to catch thy soul again,
lExpired ia the rapturous strain.
He lists, but starts as from dream,
When the Bald Eagles savage scream,
And Sparrow Hawks hoarse cry OF fear,
Fall harshly on bis startled ear.
Scarce can he deem the rude sounds heard,
Are thine, oh charming Mocking Bird.
Sweet Bird when from the western sky,
Have passed the clouds Of glorious dyes
And mournful breathes the evening gale
While solemn night has drawn her veil
Of darkness, DER this world OF woes,
And reigns in gran"eur, and repose;
Then when mild Luna, queen OF night,
Rises, and sheds food of light
Der forest, hill, and blooming grove,
The scenes, and haunts you dearly love-
Soft breathes upon the air along,
Thy richest, most melodious song,
Oh! softer than the Doves fond tales,
And sweeter than the Nightingale's,
Is heard through nights lone tranquil hours'
Sweet Mocking Bird. thy vocal powers
] too must love thee, Tor us mine,
To bow at fairy music's shrine,
To hail with Joy, as breathes along,
The warblings of the ''child of song"
The slightest note, the sottest lay,
Can bid each pulse with rapture play.
Oh, that could sweet Bird! like thee,
Breathe the rich song of melody,
Like thee could bid sweet music tows
I'd ask no higher boon below.
Mine too it is at Evenings close.
When all is quiet, and repose,
To catch from every glowing star,
That beams in Heavens blue dome afar,
Sweet rapturous music warm, and free,
As thy own gushing melody.
And gentle Bird it too is mine,
Too love the pensive soft moon-shine;
And Oh! at that delightful hour,
How dear to me the tranquil bower,
Where nought is heard save Evenings sign,
In gentle murmurs passing by.
Oh! when on Natures face cast,
The lingering look, the fond, the last;
And friends shall bid the willow wave.
With plalntIve music DER my SfdNe'
Iwould that myrtle flowers might bloom,
Forever on my humble tomb;
And that when Luna, queen of night,
Sheds DER the scene her silvery light,
And silence reigns, and Peace shall wave,
Her olive branch above my grave.
That there may thy soft song be heard,
Sweet Mocking Bird, sweet Mockng, Bird.

again and again, vainly besought him to coun-

the work of desolation, which made the IN
