AS if never made to fl, it,
: Adleu I'm going TO the rocks and caves,
To leave all here behind me;
Or perhaps | shall sink in the northern waves,
So deep that none can find me-
: Good luck good luck to your hoary locks,
SAID the gay young Spring advancing,
Go, tako your nap mid the caves and rocks,
While DER the earth am dancing.
= There is not a spot where your foot has trod
You hard old crusty fellow,
Nor hill nor field nor single sod,
But have got to mellow.
And then shall spread them DER with grass,
That will look so fresh and cheering;
None will regret that they let you pass
Far out OF sight and hearing.
. The fountains that you lock up SO tight
When shall give them a summing,
VIII sparkle aud play in my gladdening light
And the brooks will set off running.
o" I'll speak in the ground to the hidden root,
Where you have kept it sleeping
And bid it send up the tender shoot,
And set the Wild vine creeping,
The boughs that you caked all o er with ice,
Till twas chilling even to behold them,
| shall stick them all round with buds so nice,
My breath alone can unfold them.
: And when the tree is in blossoms dressed,
The bird, with her songs SO merry,
Will come on its limb TO build her nest,
BY the sign Of the future cherry.
Z The air and the earth by their joyfulness,
Shall show the good am dong
And the skies beam down with their SMILES to

THE Turquoise Ring twas gift OF power,
Guarding her heart in that weary hour
As magic spell. as a gem Of light.
As pure pure star amidst couds Of night;
Bringing back 10 the pale, pale cheek its bloom
Strengthening her faith in that hour Of doom
There was hope, there was trust IN living hue
The gem was bright and the lovertrue;
As sign to her heart, rs ] sign to her eyo,
The one bright geam OF a troubled sky.
The Turquoise Ring oh, the oldeu time
Had many magic tale and sign
Bright gifts Of treasure on land and on sea,
But noueh' for the heart or memory;
For what might the fairy lamp of old
Yield TO its owner, bu; gems and gold
And TO her that sit in that lonely hall.
The Turquoise Ring was worth them all;
For the heart hath dearer wealth than Iiss
Ia the Earlh's wide halls and arcosies,
And its hopes are more precious than gems on
gold
When richest or rarest, by miser told;
For what had been gems that brightly shoue,
10 her VINO sat in her grief alone
Oh the Turquoise Ring had spell Of power
This was gift for the weary hour,
Linking the Future to all the Past,
Br.'thins Of moments too bright to last,
TIL they came 10 their light Of living bliss,
10 soothc, TO gladden. an hour like this
Oh. Love hath wings, they have said, W ho know
Aud that Love hath wings, is story true;
But there fingers bloom on his early hours;
When his wings arc folded midst opening now-
ers,
When the streams are bright, and the sky is fair,
And the hearts too happy that trust him there,
There fingers bloom, and there rests glow
charm that the Earth not again may know;
And when from that resting place he flies.
Oh, linked with thousand memories.
Each bud and each leaf by our fond tears wet.
May breathe of his sweetness and beauty vet.
80 with the Past, and its holy love-
80 with its hopes that scared above
And the visions that came to her mighty rest
was the Turquoise Ring to her finger pressed.
Oh, beautiful TO her its light
Could she forget that pleasant night.
When first her fingers slender round
Was with its golden oirclet bound,
And blushed she-Dot 10 sea il shine
IL at at the low t"no-" Love be mine ?"
Siuce then. since then, unchanged its hue.
Her hope, her trust, alike were true;
But pale at times that cheek so bright
And dimmed those eyes of living light
eor dreams were hers Of pain and dread
Yet still the Ring its lustre shed;
They me; and parted, as Of yore
Fond hearts have met and chilled before;
And eoldnes', sadness, fear had been
Like cloud upon tn. sunny scene,
Yet WomaB's love viii always strive,
And WoInsns faith through all things live.
Add beautiful the msiden's truth.
And beautiful her trusting youth
Through all. through all. the Turquoise Ring

Glorious the sight OF waving woods.
Clothed in their robe Of green;
Autumns frost will blight their pride,
Nor bare the shady screen.
'Tis thus our brightest pleasures fade,
Thus withsrs all our bliss;
Twas fair picture. but It's gone
A moments happiness.
A short, an exquisite delight
How soon the vision fed
Ia vain we seek for buried joys,
Ia vain would raise the dead.
Der their memory we may weep,
Yet they will not return;
They leave US when we're happiest;
They leave our hearts TO mourn,
Thus the relations sheds tear.
Upon that cherished sod,
Where his dear kindred ashes sleep,
la the dark graves abode.
Let other Joys unwept depart,
There is one kindly ray;
That may smile upon tho soul,
The twilight Of its day.
Yes dearest Friendship shall remain
That gem shall yet survive;
When fanoy's sunlight beams depart,
Kind Friendship yet shall live.
Not so with him who yainly boasts
Mankind are all his friends
For he shall all too quickly fud
How dark his prospect ends;
Cure his mad folly in despair,
His loneliness and gloom;
Mourn DER the death Of all his hopes
The cypress Of their tomb.

Oh, sih Of power that cheek once moro
Wore the rich bloom that bIushed Of yors
Oh, gift Of power who could not sing

THE TURQUOISE RING.

in Miss Marneau's novel Of Deerbrook, the
heroine is made TO preserve, with great care, a
Turquoise Ring, which her lover had given her
N the early days of his attachment. and during
long period Of doubt and enlargement, to be
here that while its hues continued undmmed,
his faith remained to her unbrokeu. SO poetic
and iervent belief met with its appropriate re
ward-the Turquoise remained bright, and the
lover returned.

THE DEPARTURE.

Adectonatelv inscribed to his elder Sister
BY MELaAR GARDNER.
BRIGHT, glorious day in Spring
No cloud upon the azure deep:
A morn so lovely, it might bring
New sweetness to m infants sleep
The seaman tondIy fingers there
The White sail woos the fragrant air
His heart with Hope is beating high
tear is in the young wites eye
'Tis noon across the broad blue sea.
The gallant barqus speeds proudly on,
Aud JOY eyes look up TO see
Her peuuons floating in the SUI.
Tho whirllng cddies mark her way,
And meath her PROV, the snow-whte spray,
Like newly orumbcd silver, CLEANS
And sparkles in the day gods beams!
'Tis eve the sea-bird sports beside
Her glowing pathway DER the deep,
Where, like a ar.horse uerved with prde,
From wave TO wave she seems to leap.
Each pulse is quickcued, as the blast
Dlstends the sail, or bends the mast;
And when the sun hath left the shy,
Hope warns the heart and lights the eye.
Alone-upon beeting hill,
That braves the oceans breaking surge
4 The fond young wife is lingering STILL
And gazing on the horizons verge.
One long, long look Of love-tho last!
( The proud ship from her sight hath passed !!
She turns away-she brcathes prayer
Her hope, her love, her heart is there
Speed on, speed on, thou gallant bnrque
That gentle heart is with thee now,
Where tempesls gather fierce and dark,
Or lavoriug breezes gently blow
That love shall bless thy suuny path,
That hope defy the storm-god's wrath;
Aud thou shalt bring from DER the main,
