She was not beautiful-and yet there was
A something in her look you could not pass
Indifferent; and DER and o'er again that look
Would cling to your remembrance, aye or no.
She was Indifferent, fair, not very SO;
Her features regular, but not exact;
Her light brown hair danced freely in the wind,
That wanton'd through its mazes unreprov'd.
There was a pensve softness in her eye
That spoke of ppllty, and truth and love;
Aud vet there vas playful archness too,
Brilliant, bv< mild as stars amid the twilight.
There pIa5 ed about her lips gentle smile,
" hch eem'd at first the seal of happiness;
And vet there is even in that very smile,
If III irk'd attentively, mournfulness,
Which seemed to me, Il know not if 'twere SOY
A If that smile were on the lips alone
Bus that the heart had felt the blight of grief
Site of that smile, she ever seem'd as though
A tear uncall',, or cal'd she scarce knew why,
Was ready to tremble at its source,
Or steal in secret silence down her cheek.
She was not beautiful-yet, have seen,
a host of faces by the world termed so
Which might attract as beauty ever will,
ribute glance of passing admiration;
But which can never chain the deep, fervent,
And constant affection of him whose soul
Is wing'd for joys more pure than flow from the
Loathsome fountain of heartless, tickle, and
IDconstaut love,

POETRY.
"THERE Is AN HOUR.o


There is an hour of inward Joy,
An hour to mirth and pleasure given,
When man enjoys, without alloy,
The sleep of earth the calm of heaven.
There is an hour of happiness,
When man can revel free from pain,
An hour of pure, unhallowed bliss,
Which every mortal strives to gain.
But ah. there is a solemn hour,
When dread reflection wakes the soul;
When man must own higher power,
A Cop supreme-who holds control.
IT'S when disease has laid us low,
And sorrow dims the closing eve;
When tyrant Death, mans mortal foe,
Proclaims, alas! that we must die.
Yes, yes, tits when we feel and own
Our hapess lot--our wretched fate;
Cry for forgiveness-loudly moan,
And sorrow DER our dying state.
