To her rso .eig aaSer,;lad then.
An why, dear girl, should crae. tate
4 bar between US throw
Make sad the hearts where dwet Of ate
Loves warmesl, kndlest glow;
And while aaeetion's sweetest kiss
Yet fingers on the lip,
No word allowed 10 tell Of bliss
More sweet than bees e'er sip'
Does fate decree that two fond hearts;
In sweetest union joind,
A void should feel, which oft lmpaTis
Distraction to the mind
b. all that's lovely, true and bright,
Though dark my fate may be,
Oae star tina, gloomy scene viii light:
That star, sweet girl, is thee
Yes, ill my hear. stall cease to beat
III hold thee in its core,
Devoid Of hope, I'll we shall meet
Where we shah part no more.

B1BLE TpurH IMMORTAL.
That deafness page--that deafness page
All human things shall pass away,
Tie world itself shall fail with age,
That deathIeSs page shall ne'er decay.
There trembling faith aud hope may cling,
Md the wild changes 0l the world,
Though death DER all its curse should fling,
And earth to ruin should be hurled.
Go, gather all that human thought
Hath cast upon the breath Of fame
All mind hath dreamed or art hath wrought
To win the tribute Of a name.
The hand which sets yon stars on high,
Which guides through space each flaming ball
Which graved HIS name upon the sky,
Hath written change upon them all
Earth and its tceming multitudes,
Its every passion, hope and fear,
Its transien, loves, and fleeing tcuds,
Shall quickly die and disappear
The hero's and the monarchs crown,
The sages lore, the poets wreath,
Proud genius and It's high renown,
Shall wtler III the grasp ofdcath.
But that pure page-that page divine,
BY the Almighty finger traced,
Shall stand aoft ladeless shrine
When all of time shall be eillced,
And cen in that last day oltlamci
OF lhrlin fear and wild amaze,
Still, still secure, unchanged, the same,
This, this shalt brighten in the blaze.
Go mortal, search that sacred page
Seek there hope that will not die,
4 h4pe that shall survive all age,
Til sWat3wed up beyond the sky.
Go draw from ,ne,.co that priceless faith
In him who lived ana n.c1 to save
Which shall light up the face o. dealt,
And cast halo Ger the grave E.w-r.
