however. About midnight, lady and her lover, who
were taking love, and wandering out beneath the
moon, approached me in my sequesiered nook in one
corner o. the garden, and commenced peatins
thousand soft things in my hearing They promised
eternal fidelity, &c &c. and at last concluded their
rhapsody by HIS plucklng me- when was placed with
great care IN her snowy bosom. But what throne
sat upon now. The rich rose, all perfume, heaved by
her tranquil respiratlons was my abode. was 100

BY way of an episode, Mr.. Bennett, is there not
something beautiful in bouquet? just think what
spot The garden of Eden must have been for such
sweet pledges of love. All the flowers of creation
were then crowded into a small space and the river Of
Paradise rolled It's cooling tide among them, giving
them an eternal freshness. And The ccascess voices
ofthe brds-the soft nghtngnle-the melancholy
whip poor will-the saucy backbrd-the gentle blue
brd-and ten thousand other waIbiers, all mngIing
an one ceaseless harmony. What spot that Eden
was for love, 10 be sure.

there, and lay myself down on top Of of the tur
