Where, II we love, Tie blooms and HOWers,
And fruits-shall evermore be ours.
Oh! yield thee 10 the hope bring,
Believe the truth feel and sing,
Nor teach my spirit thus 10 weep,
Thy Christian home beyond the deep.
'Tis little-ah! too well know,
The poor Amaya may bestow-
But ifa heart that's truly thine,
Be worthy thee, o! cherish mine!
Ny life is in thy look--for thee,
bloom, as for the sun, the tree;
My hopes-when thou forget'st thy woes,
Unfold, as fow'rs when winter goes.

LOVE IN DEATH.


g A mother sits by iowly grave,
A hiIlock small and green,
With two gray stones at the head and feet,
And the daised turf between.
Silent she sits in that place of graves,
AS if tranced in dream of prayer,
And her hand plays with the rustling grass,
AS with the cur!s Of ain infants hair.
3 Does she think of the time when she hushed 1t
soft,
With Graded lullabes?
Or when ii hung on her teeming breast,
With smile in its laughing eyes!
OrWhen she touched with loving hand
ityhen its sunny years were ,hree)
The lainb-like fleece gifts faxen locks
4 as ii prayed beside her knee?
Orthe hour whom sad and simple pail
. Was borne from the cottage door,
And lis. dancing step was never heard
Again on the cottage floor?
Does she fondly, image a clerub shape
Mid, a. shining angel band,
With her star-crewnd locks and garments white
And ally in itsthand.
Silent her thought but at,twilight hour
Ever she sitteth there,
And herghand oft plays with the}curlng grass,
AS with curls of an infants hair.
