STANZAS,
70 HER WHO CAN BEST UN-
DERSTAND THEM.
M THE LATE RIeHr HON. LORD BYRON
Be it so--we part forever
Let the past as nothing be;
Had lightly loved thee, never,
Hadsl thou been thus dear to me.
Had loved and thus been sighted,
That better could have borne =
Love is quelled when unrequitted,
BY the rising pulse Of scorr.
Pride may cool what passion heated,
Time will tamo the woyward will;
But the hear; in friendship cheated
Throbs With woes most maddening thrill
Had loved--I now might hate thee,
In that hatred solacc seek;
Nigh, oxulS to execrate thee.
And in words my vengeance wreak.
But there is a silent sorrow,
Which can find no vent in speech,
Which dsdaiDs reliefto borrow,
From the heights that song can reac h
Like a clankIess cha in en,hralling,
Like the seepless dreams that mock,
Like the fried ice drop falling,
From the surf surrounded rock:
Such the cold the sickening feeling,
Thou hast caused this heart to know,
Stabbed the deeper by concealing
From the world its bitter woe
Once i, Fonjly proudly. deemed thee
All that Fancy's self could paints;
Once i, honored and esteemed thee,
As its idol and its saint
More than woman thou vast to me;
No, as man look'd on ,hee;-
Why like woman then undo me
Why heap mans worst curse on me!
Vast thou but a friend assuming
Friendships smile and woman's art,
And with borrowed beauty blooming,
Trifling with trusting heart?
By that eye which once could gisten,
With opposing glance TO me;
By that esr which once conld listen,
To each tale told to thee:
BY that lip its smile bestowing
Which could soften sorrows gush;
BY that cheek. once brightly glowing,
With pure friendships well fcign'd blush
BY all those false charms united,
Thou hast wrought thy wanton will;
And wiihou, compuuction blighted,
What thou woule'st not kindly kill
Yet curse tho not in sadness,
Still I feel how dear thou vert;
Oh I could not cen in madness.
Doom thee to thy jus, desert!
Live and when my life 10 over,
Should lhino own be heightened long,
Thou msy'st then too late discover,
BY ,sy feelings, all my wrong
When thy beauties oil are faded,
When thy hauerers fawn no more;
Ere The solnmn shroud hath shaded
Some regardless reptiles storo;
Ere that hour false syren hear me,
Thou may'st feel what ! do now
While my spirit lowering near thee,
Whispers friendships broken vow;
But It's useless 10 upbssaid thee,
With Thy past or present state;
wbs, thou vast my fancy made thee,
What thou AT, know too late.

The WARM TOUCH or A BEAUTIFUL

HE WARM TOUCH OF BEAUTIFUL
HANp.-The following extract is from a
new American novel entitled "Zoe, or
the Siclian Sayda." Those who have
ever had the good. or. as our bachelor
friends would say, the bad fortune tn he
in love, will acknowledge its beauty and
it's truth,
"There is scarcely in the whole scope
Of our enjoyments-itis is \ bold assertion.
but, oh how true la sensation more de-
Iightfal than that arising from the warm
.ouch of beautiful hand. It's very del
icacy aud weakness, as-it glides Into the
more manly grasp, as fit emblem Of
The just confidence the fem ale heart Is
so desirous TO bestow upon It's destined
protector: and, whilst the nerves thrill
over the soft fingers and the electricity
Of passion Is firing every vain; whilst "A
spirit richer and more refined than
thought itself, fiutiers IN the bosom, how
the heart seems striving 10 expand itself
into that unutterable exstacy of being,
SO seldom felt, SO impossible to be de-
scribed.
Reader, il, like myself, thou hast slip
ed over the mature age Of thirty, invoke
pray thee, the aid of memory; and let
her recnl in moonlight ftfuIness the
scenes Of thy cour,hsbip-thy April
mornings of hope. and fear, of love, JOY
and passion! Let those visions of bliss
rise in shadowy review, like the spring
ing ufresh Of u rainbow fountain, and
thou wilt own with me that whether a
midst the iuxuries Of art, screened by a
friendly shade from the too strict scru-
tiny Of the brilliant chandelier, or in The
solitude of NATURES untimed magnih-
cence--whether lulIed by the subduing
serenity of a summers eve, or revelling
ia the babel voices of the merry sleigh
bells if thou wouldst but win the conf
dence of her thou loyedsI, so that, SEEM
ingly unconscious, it had escaped her
msideuly keeping, she would trust her
timid hand in. thine. thy thoughts were
flooded with delight, Thy very bosom
gIowed with generous rapture. Oh /!
how thou didst then swear to thy heart
of hearts Ia vow more holy. more pure
than that of the aliar,) TO protect, to
comfort her, to minister to her joys, to
be her steadfast friend, her guard. her
guide, her all in all If thou didst not,
thou vert no lover.
Perchance, with the soft "reminiscences
Of stolen glances, timid speeches, and
ardent vows, comes the withering thog't
of faith broken, looks estranged, and
vows forgotten; the cold countenance,
the naughty answer, the disdainful smile.
Alas memory is too faithful witness,
and when called to bear testimony to the
dearest pleasures of Lang Syne, dare
MOI even there be cross-examincd."
