sleepLng ana wakIng Dreams.

By MRS. ARDv.
The bright Gnd varied dreams that cheer
The darkness Of the night,
How soon our sorrows disappear
Beneath their magic light!
Long banished pleasures they renew,
Long absent friends restore;
The loved and lost, the good and true,
They yield TO US once more.
IT'S true we wake, and sigh 10 meet
The worlds returning strife,
But coming night shall bid us greet
Tn sleep another life.
Age may assert its ruthless power,
But stll those dreams remain,
Giving 10 US the precious hour
OF youth and JOY again.
But there are dreams more bright, more best,
That lull as in the day;
How soon in such enchanted rest
Life's vigor steals away!
We image fair and cloudless years
Beneath a spell like this,
And deem our changeful vale Of tears
A fairy land of bliss.
We wake-we feel our trust betrayed,
We mourn in fruitless pain;
Alas! when once such visions fade,
! They charm us not again;
/ A feint sad vestige of the dream
| May in our hearts be nursed
But never is its second beam
So sunny as its first.
And when in age we sadly sigh
Ger blghted hopes of truth,
We trace in bitter mockery
The day-dreams of our youth:
Yet we had viewed this world Of Wo,
Perhaps, with kinder glance,
Had we ne'er decked it with the glow
Of faneiful romance,
Safe are the dreams that night bestows-
They come to US unsought,
And pass unbid but Wo to those
Who dream in daily thought;
Who picture friends and lovers true,
). Glad scenes, unbroken ties
,Oh how shall they endure TO view
Life's rough realitiesl
Must we then turn from Joys fair bowers
All lovely as they seem!
lNo,-hopes of radiant light are ours,
Hopes that are not dream
They tell US mid cur pleasures brief
There is a land more dear,
And whisper in the time Of grief,
"Thy refuge is not here"

imply authority from the President 10 do So as
