POETRY.

The following beautiful lines from the pen Of Mrs
HrmASs will lie read with deep interest," especially al
the present tlne when the last hours of Summer have
just been numbered with the by gone years.
THE PARTING OF SUMMER.
Thourt bearing hence the roses,
Glad Summer, fare thee WELL
Thou'rt singing thy last melodies
In every wood and dell.
But in the golden sunset
Of thy last lingering day,
Or! tell me, o'er this chequered earth,
How hast thou passed away
Brightly, sweet summer! brightly,
Thine hours hoated by,
To the Joyous birds Of the woodland bough,
The rangers Of the sky.
And brightly midst the forests,
To the wild deer wandering free;
And brightly midst the garden flowers
Is the happy murmuring bee.
But how TO human bosoms,
With all their hopes and fears,
And thoughts that make them eag g'e-wlnS5
TO pierce the unborn years.
Sweet Summer! to the captive
Thou hast flown in burning dreams
OF the woods, with all their whispering leaves
And the blue rejoicing streams:
To the wasted and the weary,
On the bed Of sickness bound,
In swift delicious fantasies,
Tha. changed with every sound;
To the sailor on the pillows,
In lodgings wild and vain,
For the gushing founts and breezy hills,
And the homes Of earth again!
And unto me, glad summer!
How hast thou flown TO me!
My chainless iootstep nought hath kept
From thy haunts Of song and CLEO.
Thou hast Gown in wayward visions,
In memories of the dead
In shadows, from troubled heart,
Ger thy sunny pathway shed;
In brief and sudden strivngs
To fling weight aside
Midst these thy melodies have ceased,
And all thy roses died.
But, oh! thou gentle Summer
If greet thy flowers once more,
Bring NE again its buoyancy
Whcrewith my soul should soar.
Give me to hail thy sunshine,
With song and spirit free;
Or in purer air than this,
May the next meeting be!

"IIOW BEAUTIFUL"

"Making a worship Of the beautiful. "-BrLwE
How beautiful this world Of ours,
Its autumn hues and summer flowers,
Its waving fields Of ripen'd grain,
Its twilight shade on hill and plain;
Beautiful its sparkling floods,
And its leafy, solemn woods,
And its morn when per tho brake,
All its songstcrs first awake.
How beautiful-the starry night,
When its meek and melowed light
Stealing through the trees is seen,
On the jocund village green;
Beautiful the dfeams ofsleep,
When the-spirit, wrapt and deep,
Wandcrs meath Lethean spell,
To land where angels dwell.
And, o! how beautiful to SEQ,
Loves unchanged fidelity,
Hearts that beat through good and i'll,
True, and fond, and faithful still;
Beautiful, when years have sped,
Ger the parents honored head,
Ia the watchful care we bless
In a child's devotedness.
How beautiful quenchless power,
Unsubdued in darkest hour,
Unoednced when fortune's dream
Gaily glides ife's varying stream;
Virtus-thine this glorious sway,
Thou the gem Of fairest ray,
Thou the fairest flower we Gull,
Crown Of all-most beautiful.
