This article is frank, earnest, and contains

TIE HAUNTED PALACE.
liz the greenest of our valleys,
By good angels tensnted,
Once fair and stately palace
Radiant paace-resrd its head.
In the monarch Thoughts dominion
II stood there!
Mover ser1ph spread pinion
Over fabric half so ai.
Banners yellow, glorious, golden,
On It's roof did float ard flow,
('This-all ihis-was in the olden
Time, long ago.
Ard every gentle sir that dallied
La that eweet DAY,
Along the rampnrrs p!nmed and pailid,
winged odor weet away.
Wanderers 10 that happy valley,
Through two luminous windows, saw
Spirits moving nIusicaliy,
To a lute's wei-iuned law,
Round about throne where, sitting
lPorpbyrogene9
In state his glory well befttiDg,
The ruler OF the realm was seen.
And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace door,
Through which came flowing, flowing, flowing,
And sparkling evermore,
A troop OF Echoes, whose sweet duty
Was butto sing,
In voices OF surprising beauty,
The wit and wisdom Of their king.
But evil things, in robes OF sorow,
Assaild ihe monarch's high estate.
(Ah, let us mourn for never morrow
Shall dawn upon him desoatc!
And round about his home the glory
That blush'd and bloomd,
Is hut d!In-reInenbeT' q story
OF the old time enomb'd.
And travellers now, within that veiley,
Through the red litten windows see
Vas, fo.iIs, that move fantaaiiclily
To discordan, melody,
While, like ghastly rapid river,
Through the pale door,
| A hideous ;hroDg rush out for over,
And laugh-but smile no more.
But, to ue, still more interesting is the poem
Eittcn at the age of fourteen, of such diftln.
Tshed beauty in thought, feeling, and express
10, that we nigh. expect the life uniolced from
Reh bud to have the sweetness and soft lustTe
