her hair, and the father walking the floor in
agony The galley slave asked what was the
matter, and the father replied that they were

cause they could not pay their rent. You

Where love is blest;
OF sunset skies, like dying dolphin changing.
Cleaning as though some angel band were
ranRing
The golden west;
But sparkling wave, end fountain, and bright
sky,
dave not the radiance of thy laughing eye.
Mahomet tells us Of hts brack-syed FIouries,'
And Egypps Queen with her surprising glories,
Has Shakespeare told;
And the Circassian maid. for her wild beauty,
Is, in the Eastern world, richer booty
Than gems and gold,
But all Of these, though long the boast oI
rhyme,
Glad not the heart like that sweet smile Ol
thine.
Oh! 'tis more welcome than the sun-lght
beaming
From out the orient, DER the ocean streaming
When storms have fed.
Thai smile can thrill the heart with more
emotions
Than fro the Hndoo priest in his devOtionS
Ger the loved dead;
And long as memory, hope, life shall last,
That smile shall, Star-like, gild the fading past
