THE OLD MAID.
BY MRS. AMELIA =. wsLnT.


Once lightly sprang within her beaming track;
Oh, life was beautiful in those lost hours!
And yet she does not wish TO wander back
No she but loves in loneliness TO think
Onplensures past, though never more TO be:
Hope links he= 10 the future-but the link
That binds her 10 the pest-is Memory.
From her lone path she never turns aside,
Though passionate WORSHIP re before her fall;
Like some pure planet in her ionsly pride,
She seems 10 soar and beam above them ell
Not that her heart is cod! emotions new
Ard fresh as howersa with her heart strings knit
And swee,y mournfui pleasures wander through
Her virgin soul, and softly roffle it.
Fer she hath lived with heart and soul alive
To all that makes life beautiful and fair; nlve
Sweet thoughts, like honey-bees, have made their
Of her soft bosom-cell, and cluster lhere -
Yet life is not 10 her whatit hath heeD,-
Her soul hath learned TO look beyond It's gloss
And now she hovers, like d star, between
Her deeds of lovs-her Saviour on the Cross
Beneath the cares OF earth she does not bow,
Though she hath oft-times drained its bitter cup,
But ever wanders on with heavenward brow,
And eyes whose lovely lids are lifted up
She feels that in that loveer, happier sphere
Her bosom yet will, bird. like, find its mste,
And all the joys it found so blissful here
Within that sprit-reaiIn perpetuaie
Yet sometimes DER her trembling heart-strngs
Soft sghs, for rapture' ii hath re'er enjoyed
And then she dreams Of love, and strives 10 I'LL
With wild and passionate thoughts the craving VOID.
And thus she wr.lderes on--hal! sad, half blest-
Without mete for the pure, lonely heart,
That, yearniuC, throbs within her virgin breast,
Never to find its lovely counterpart
This number opens new volume, very auspci-
ously. Now is the lime to subscribe.
