For the National Wing
TO LEILA.

Thy tender eyes--thy soft blue eyes
Thine eyes Of love and liquid light,
Beam on my soul, as from the skies,
An angels on the christians sight.
OH often at deep midnights hour
When all around, seemed dark and drear
Pve felt and owned their mystic power
As ihon TO memory didst appear.
Long years have flown since We last met,
To me long years Of pain and woe:
But meier thine eyes could forget
My trie love for thee ne'er forego--
And yet thou said st loved thee not,
Tho love like this Is fair as day;
And yet thou saidst had forgot
And rashly gave thy hand away.
Mid oil the rend'ing storms of care.
Which on my breast, their wrath have sped;
Mid all the lightning's Of despair,
Which thro' my brain have madly sped;
Mid all the fortunes of the mind,
Which have conyulsd my throbbing brow;
/, Mid all my snf rings can find
Nonght like the grief which then didst how
Leal believe me, twas no dream
That early passion of my youth;
From fancy's fount came not the stream
Which bathed my heart In loves sweet ruth
That dream was such Us God did will
When Eve to Adams eight was given;
That stream ran from the purest rill
That flows to earth from highest heaven.
II recks not now--what tho L feel =
That hope and bliss are lost to mel
What tho my heart Is bound In steell
The past is pass d-.f0r aye! 1cifh thee.
Then fare thee we'll no more we'll meet &.
On life's dull shore-on sorrows strand:
Deaths spectral form soon shall greet
soon shall erSsp his Icy hand.
But thou wilt live and for him smile,
Whose chain Of love you gladly wear;

well-browned Young fellow from the coun-

great fist And what do you suppose it was :
A baby's bonnet. A little, soft, blue satin
hood, with swans down border, white as
the new fallen snow, with frIll OF rich
blonde around the edge.
BY his side stood "A pretty woman, hold
ing with no small pride, the baby-lor it
evidently was a baby ANY one could read
the effect IN every glance, as they looked at
each other, and at the little hood, aud then
at the large blue, unconscious eyes, and fat
dimpled cheeks Of the little one. It was
evident that neither of them had ever seen
baby like that before.
" But really, Mary" said the young man,

Mary very prudently said nothing, but ia.

held up the little baby. The man looked
and grinned, aud without another word,
down went the three dollars, (al that the
last weeks butter came to- and as they
walked out of the shop it is hard TO say
which looked most delighted with the bar

"Ah," thought l, ga little child shall

Another day, as passed carriage fac
tory, saw young mechanic at work on a
wheel. The rough body of a carriage stood
beside him-and there, wrapped up snugly,
all hooded and cloaked, sat a dark-eyed
girl, about year old, PLAYING with great
shaggy dog. As | stopped, the man looked
up from his work, and turned adniringly to
his companion, as much as To say
" See what have got here !'

long curls over his deep blue eyes-lhe fair
brow is bent III a irown--the rose leaf is
pushed up in infinite defiance-and the

naughtiness!
Then comes the instant change-hash-

BACK all IN rush, and you are oyerwhelm-

They are irresistible, too, these llllle ones.
