LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP.

by WILLIAM LEGGETT.

Fly DER the seas away,
Where laughing eyes 10 sunshine lie,
And summer breezes play.
And thus the friends that lJtter near
While Fortunes sun Is warm,
Are startled II a cloud appear,
And fly before the storm.
But when from winters bowling pl.ins,
Zach other waIblers past,
The little snow-bigd still remains,
And ChuTups midst The blast
Dove-like that bird, when friendships throng
With Fortunes sun depart
Still fingers with lis cheerful song,
And utstlcS on the heart.

which maintains its pure and undertaking walk
alike amongst women IN the society OF
which shrinks from necessary duty, and can
speak when required, with seriousness and kindness
of things at which II would be ashamed, indeed to
smile or to blush-that dehcacy winch knows how to
confer ben ht without woundlnr the feelings Of

to receive onc-that decaCy which can give ams
without display, aud advice without assuming and
which pains not the most humble susceptible be-
ing in creation. This is the dehcacy which forms
important part Of good taste. that where it does
not exist a natural instinct, II Is taught tie
first principle Of good manners, and considered as
the universal passport TO good society. Nor can
tins the greatest charm OF female character If total

"Ld mort est Ie seul dieu que Josdis tlaplOrer."
Not unto thee, Oh pale and radiant Death
Not unto thee, though every hope be past
Though Lies FIRST, sweetest star may shine no more,
Nor Earth again one cherished dream restore,
Or from the bright OF the future cast
Aught, aught OF JOY on me.
Yet unto thee, Oh monarch robed and crowned,
And beautiful IN all thy sal array,
bring no incense, though the heart be chill,
And 10 the eyes, that tears alone may tli,
Shines not as once the wonted light Of day.
Still upon another shrine my vows
Shall all be duly paid, and though thy voice

And wOOs one 10 that pillow OF calm rest,
Where all Lies dull AM restless thoughts depart,

pay my vows, though now to me thy brow
Scenes crowned with roses Of the summer prime,
And 10 The aching sense Thy voice would be-
Oh Death oh Death Of softest melody,
Aud gentle ministries alone were thine,
Still impore thee not
But thou, Oh Life Oh Life the searching test
OF tie weak heart u thee, 10 thee bow;
And If the ire upon the altar shine
Descend and seattle each glowing hope OF mine,
Still may my heart as now
Turn not from that dread test.
But let me pay my vows TO thee, oh Life
And let me hope that from that glowing he
There yet may be redeemed gold pure
And bright AMI eagle thoughts 10 mount and soar
Their flight the higher,
Released from earthly hope, or earthly fear
This, this, oh Life be mine.
Let others strive thy glowing wTeathes 20 bind
Let others seek thy f,lse and dag ling CLEANS,
For me their light went out on early streams,
And faded were Thy IN my grasp,

Shine out when all Is dark
So would l, cheered by hopes more purely bright,
Tread still the thorny path whose close Is light,
II, but at last, the tossed and weary baTque
Gains the sure haven of her final rest.

There ale tones that Will haunt US though lonely
our pathway be DER mountIin aud sea
There are looks which Will pait with Us only
When memory ceases 10 be =
There are hopes that our burden may tighten,
Though tOilsome and steep be the way,
And dreams that like moonlight can brighten
Win light that Is clearer than day.
There are names that cherish though naneless.
For aye our lips they may be;
There aie HEARTS that though icttcrei are tamelcsS
And thoughts uueXpres,ed, but still free.
