THE BROKEN HEART.

Pale as a white whitening she ay--
Lovely, though dyng,-and her eye divine
Cleaned DER the deepening shadows OF decay
Like a stray sunbeam ruined shrine.
She seemed too beautiful for deaths embrace,
And holiness engirt her as zone;
Language had fed, but musics pictured grace
HING IN those Iips that late had breathd its tone,
oh thou the peUured cruel, fathless, blind
How couldst thou bow such sweetness to the dust!
How break the heart where thy loved image, shrined
Dwell in the beauty of undoubting trust!
But thou didst breasit: Nature could not cope
With love neglected, whose undying power.
Zen from the very sepuchre of Hope,
Gushed forth like perfumes from trampled flower.
Tears for thy absence, sghs for thy neglect
Prayers for thy safety, smiles at thy return,
And ford blindness thy worst defect
Thou didst repay with undissembled scorn
Yet there she lay, and on her dying bed
She blessed thy name-then kissed the lock Of hair
That from thy brow in happier days she Shred
Then lookd to heaven and prayed to meet thee there
And with holy look of hope and peace,
She bowed her head the parting pang was DER;
Yet no convulsions markd the souls release,
The pahdli smile ofrapture wore;
Her fleeting soul one rada Mt beam had caught
Warm from the fountain of Eternal Day
And left the image Of the breathing thought
Impressed in beauty the breathless clay.
saw her buried with patrcian state;
The sable pInmes waved proudly DER her bier,
With all the pomp that riches anogate,
To deck that dust to which they yield no tear.
And as gazed upon the formal scene,
Where all was cold colectedness andat
! thought one tear of secret grief had been
A filter tribute to broken heart.

LOVE IN THE DEW.

A maiden went forth at the twilight hour,
To meet her true love in dewy bower
Where the and sweet brier and jessamine grew,
And the hummng kissed from the blossoms their dew
She was bright as that bird ofthe glitiering wing
And pure as the dew-drop, and gay the spring.
And there, in the shade,
The youth wooed the maid;
But the rose high
In the cloudess sky,
Ere she gave consent, and received the ring
And then she few
From love and from dew
To dream of them both the long night through
The night has Red, and the dew is gone
The maiden sits in her chamber alone
She is thinking of love and moonlight hours
Ofdewy kisses and essamine bowers;
And she Wonders if rngsand vows are true
Or as cold as night, and as fieeting dew
But her hope. bright
And her heart is light.
And still she sings
OF bridal rings
OF Ofrosebuds and the long day through
And all her theme
Is that bright dream
That came Ger her heart by the moons pale beam,
The maiden clad in her bridal dress
The priest is there to unite and to bless;
And beside her the bridegroom has taken his stand
To taste of her lip and to touch her hand
And to wed in the face of the world themad
Whom he wooed at night in the jessamine shade.
No eye more bright,
No heart more light,
Than hers the bride
Who smiles in her pride
For the ring is hers and the vow is paid
But maidens beware
Ofthe dew and night air,
Not always are truth and gold rings found there.
