When care and pain, anu sorrow are forgot,
Their storn,-rent banners for II moment furled
How swee, the hour that rests the weary brain;
Soothes the wild pulses with Il magic art;
Ths, DER the soul oblivon's waters pours
And Gains the tempest OF the throboing heart-
How sweet the hour l--perraenc. il brngeh dreams,
And the poor heegar in his siumber feels
Himself king; and the far wanderer sees
His lonp-oyed home, and al the altar kncels
How sweet-in sIecp-;he wanderer-home again
Dreams of bright which never more may DC
How sweet the hour. TO jewellers on the plain,
Or harder 'yenturers on the surgins sea-
How sweet the hour. Gods blessed Git 10 man,

IT'S BETTER NOT TO KNOW.

SONG, ny SAMUEL LOVER.
You say you love me-can trust
That she, by many wood,
By me, all Myth, h,s had her heart
To consistency sudcued
Perchance some other hove is there
But do not tell me So =.
Since knowledge would but bring me etiei'
IT'S better not 10 know.
perchance that eye has beamed with love
In DAYS | knew not thee,
That ruby lip haln bent in smiles
For others than Iorme;
But let that lip, STILL silence Keep,
Pll trust lis love-like show
Since knowledge would but bring me srie'i
IT'S better not 10 know.
Oh what simple fondncss mine
Whose wishes make It's creed
Rut Ist me think von love me sun,
And III be best indeed
TITS better that the eye ne'er see
Than that It's tears should flow
When knowledge would but bring us grief.
'Tis better not 10 know.

TO MISS B-... c. Mass.

TO MISS B-'-' c. Mas.
THY heart is like harp whose strings
at will are touched alike by all
Thy heart is like bird that sings,
In answer TO each fowlcr's call
That harp has still one secret tone,
Reserved for master hands alone
That bird has still one meaning note,
Which only toward its mate will float.
Thy heart is like gaan, bark,
Whose hold with precious freight Is s,oweu'
While on the deck you only mark
Traces of less costly load-
That bark her course will sometimes Ncei'
As if no hand were there 10 steer;
But yet the pilot does not sleep,
That guides that vessel DER the deep
Blest will he be, whose listening ear
Thrilling 10 sounds Nat none nave hea'o'
Shall in their finest cadence hear
The music OF thai harp and ord
But lady. more will envy him
For whom that ireighted ship may swim
Who by the light OF your bright eyes
Shall steer 10 port his nohle prze
