Wherein my Lady l'dcih'
Each that draws is swan or dove,
And wei! the car Love guilelh'
As she goes, all hearts do duty
Unto her beauty;
And enamored, do wish, 50 they might
But enjoy such sight,
That they still were to run by her side,
Thro' swords, thro' seas, whittier she would ride
Do but look on her eyes they do light
All that Loves world compriselh!
Do but look on her hair, it is bright
As Loves star when i, rselh!
Do but mark, her forehead's smoother
Than words that soo,hc her,
And from arched brows, such grace
Sheds itself through tho face,
As alone there triumphs to the life
All the gain all the good, of the elements strife,
Have you seen but bright lily grow,
Before rude hands have touched it,
Have you mark'd bu, the fall of the snow,
Before the soil hath smutch'd il?
Have you felt the wool Of the beaver
Or swans down eyer!
Or have smeli o. the bud Of the brlar?
Or the nard in The lire'
Or have tasted tho bag Of the bec'
o 80 white, 0 so soft! o so sweet is she!

THE REV. ABEL RLlSS.

The Rev. Abel Bliss
Was pastor Of a little flock,
Some twenty miles from this.
Who lived single life until
The fire Of youth had fed
And had no woman neav BIN,
Save one that made his bed
A sober reverend gentleman,
Full Of Greek and Latin;
lie always wore powdered wig,
And breeches made OF satin;
And seldom went abroad, cxceP,
To funeral or to wedding,
And at the latter always sta1,
At least unit, the bedding.
OF course he was the object Of
The wiles Of every spirstcr;
And all the stores Of Cupid's arts
Were practiced on the minister,
But still he KEEP, his single state,
Unmoved by their commo,ion,
And passed the zenith Of his life
In acts Of grave devotion.
One hundred pounds year was all
His humble salary,
And half of this he always spent
In acts Of charity
lie loved to weep with those who wopl---
To soo'ho the pans ofgricf;
Fen at the grave no pluckrd the thorn,
And gave the heat relief,
In 1863,
When forty years Of age,
lie los, his best parishioner,
Good deacon Joel Pagc
Who died and left pretty wii,.
A pair ofchdrcn, and
AT least thousand acres Of
The very best Of land.
There was splendid funeral,
For he was rich--and deacon,
And for each noble virtue, no
Was as lighted beacon.
The pious all were there. for he
Was e'er FREUD of iheils,
And every body else, because
Such funerals are scarce.
His loney widow in her weeds,
Stood up beside the bier.
And on bis ashy brow she dropped
Full many a scaldins lear
And as they lowered him in the grave,
And drew the cords apart,
A pans Of bitter anguish wru"g
Her desoated heart.
4 rendng sob burst from her lips
As dust was shovelled in
And Rev. Mr. Bliss was moved
To scolhe the grief within;
lie pressed her hand and whispered her,
"Be comfored my DEAR
