BIDS me expect no peace but in the silent tomb
How nature fades around thee Where tread

Made iovelicr by decay where blush dcceives.

Yet thou thy work can'st not alone complete,

Come they with their murmur low,
The spilits t;oubltd waters stilling,
With their music" Long ago"
Memory's long deep-hoarded treasure
Bring they 10 the spIIi 5 light;
Days Of yore, with deans of pleasure,
Rushing back upon the sight.
Long ago Those words of sadness,
Bringing, through The mists of Yeas,
Visions Of departe gladness;
Ne'er forgotten sighs aud tears
Dreams Of youth and thoughts of flowers,
Fading. nut surpls>ing sweet;
Skies, where brightly fed the hours,
Never more the sight TO greel.
Long ago Those words how icarcr
Far than Others we may know,
When they bring our spirits nearer
To the loved of long ago.
The keynote Of measure, filling
All the heat with harmony;
The di-oori OF the present stiIling,
Calming all It's troubled sea.

TT - fi' Tt LONrhs frbs
In days Of old, when first told.
A tale so bold, my love, 10 thee,
In falt'ring voice ! sought thy choice,
Aud did rejoice thy blush 10 see;
With downcasi eyes heard INV sighs,
Aud hope revcal'd her dawn - me,
As soft and slow, with PASSIONS glow,
Whispered low, my love, to thee.
The cannon loud, in deadly breach.
May thunder on the shrinking foe
'ris anger is but loud Of speech.
The voice of love is soft and low.
The tenpest's shout, the ba'tle's rout,
Make havoc wild We weep to see;
But ssmmer wind and friends when kind
All whisper low as | u thee.
Now gaIlanls gay, in pride Of youth,
Say, would YOU win the faiI ones ear
Your vo'ivc prayer be short and soOih,
And whisper low and she uW hear.
The ma;in bell may loudly toll
The bridal morn, when ali may hear;
But az the time Of vespeT chime,
Oh, whisper low in beauty ear.

almost every day, though the philosophy of the ma

thrill trembling through every when our lips
have met somebody's, yet why the simple meeting Of
lips should cause exquisite pleasure we never could
divine In all ages Of the world, from the time Jacob
made the great discovery Of the virtues that reside in
tco lips until the present generat,on kissing ha, been
considered one of the chef blessings of LIE. To
render kissing truly delightful, however, the lips that

ceiycd many valuable lessons. Being insulted one
day by actor of the OF Dumcnv, she called
him out but he refused to give her satisfaction she
carried away his watch and his snuff box as trophies
of her victory. Another performer having presumed
10 offend her, his declining meeting, obliged

One evening, at bail, having behaved in very rude
to lady, she requested to leave the room,
which she did on the condition that those gentlemen
who had warmly cspouscd the offended lady's cause
should accompany her. To this proposal they agreed
when, after hard combat she killed them all, and
quietly returned TO the ball room. Louis XIV. gran

she became the mistress of the Elector Of Bavaria-
However she soon after returned to the Parisian op
