LovE.--How bright and beautiful is
how mysterously does it etheFaiise
every feeling, and concentrate every wild
and bewildering impulse of the heart.
Love, holy and mysterious love--it is the
garland spring of life-the dream of the
heart-the impassioned poetry of nature
its song is heard in the rude and un-
visited solitude of the far forest, and the
1hronged haun,s of busy life-it em5el.
fishes with its flames the unpretemding
cot of the peasant and the gorgeous pail
ace of the monarch-fashes its holy
gleam of light upon the measured track
of the lonely wanderer-hovers about
the imperilIed bark of the storm-beaten
mariDer-enfeebles the darkly bending
wing of the muttering tempest, and i'm
parts additional splendor to the beacon
that burns ION the far distant Shore
Love is the mystic and unseen spell
that harmonize "soothes, unbidden." the
wild and rugged tendencies of human
nature--that lin gers about the sanctity
of the domestic hearth, the worshipped
deity of the penetralia, and unites in
firner union the affections of social and
religious society, gathers verdant fresh
ness around the guarded cradle of help
less infancy, and steals its moonlight
darkness upon the yielding heart of des-
pairing age--it bushes into reposing
calmness the chafed aId bruised and un-
resting spirit of sorrow. and bears it from
existing and anticipated evils of life, TO
its own bright and sheltering power of
repose-transforms into generous repose
the exacting desires of vulgar interest
and sordid avarice and melts into tear
full compassion the ice of insensibiity.
The image which holy and undecayed
love has once portraitured on the deep
shrine of the heart, will not vanish like
iineaments which childhood's finger in
idle moments may have traced upon the
sand-tha: image will remain there un-
broken and unmarked-it will burn on
undefaced in its lustre. amid the quick
rush of the winds and the warning of the
tempest cloud-and when the wavering
'tsIar of our fate seems declining" the
bowed and bewildering spirit, like the
trembling Of the dove of the patrisrch,
will meet its home and its refuge in that
hallowed fame where love presides as
high priestess of lis sanctuary, and con-
centrates to unbending truth the offered
VOWS of her votaries.

THx ERRINC ANGEL.

Twas long before this world Of ours
By human footsteps had been trod
That Zara came to Eden's bowers,
Fresh from the presence of her God
And while her radiant wings were yet
Unfuried and trembling in the ar,
She seemed SO changed as to forget
Her Heaven and all the bright things there.
Not that her heart had ceased to feel
That glow of rapture which is kpown
By none but those bright ones who kneea
Around Gods ever-during throne,
But, gazing on that lovely spot,
No wonder that her soul forgot
The fair and happy realm which hes
Far, far beyond the starry skies.
And there, sn that enchanting place.,
She fofserea long, and wondered WHY
Il was not peopled with race
OF beings from her native sky
And oft she wished and sighed to dweii
Herself within world so fair,
With some one who could love her well.
And deem it Heaven TO linger there
With some one on whose wiling arm
She naipht recline without fear,
And Know his heart was beating warm
With the di rinest love for her,
uHow sweet" said she, show sweet 'twouid be
To linger here amid these bowers,
Where every bush and every tree
Is fragrant with its sunny flowers
How sweet with him whom could lows,
TO kneei upon this grassy sod,
And, having turned our eyes above,
Pour out our souls in prayer to God;
Indeed il would be more than bliss
10 live thus in world like tbis.''
And in her eye the trembling light
OF her pure spirit softly sbone,
And her sweet face, before so bright
A more angelic smile put on,
But, gazing up into the air,
She saw lone star twinkling there,
And, knowing :hat the bright orb shone
On none but those who'd strayed too far
From God, and bis eternal throne,
She blessed the glory -Deaming star;
And, kneeling on the green earth there,
Lifted her trembling hands to heaven,
And offered up fervent prayer,
That her crushed heart might be forgiven.
And, ere the angel ceased to speak,
The tears which haG suffused her cheek
Fell to the earth and stilled the pain
Which had seized on her throbbing brain.
Poor Zara! She was far away
From all that bright and joyous throng,
Whose lips were breathing day by day
An endless round Of prayer and song
Yes, she who had been first each mora
To wake the harp around the throne,
Was NOW on earth. the most forlorn
OF all Gods angels and alone.
But he who saw his erring child
The moment she had learned to err
BeheId her now repent and smiled
That emile pardon was to her,
And looking upward through her tears.
Which now were flowing faster still,
She said: "God. thou hast stillec my fears,
I'll go to thee, / will, will"
And bidding earth long farewell,
She breathed, and did not breathe in vain,
The dulcet word whose mystic spell
Should plume her wing for Heaven again.
And where upon that fatal ground
The tears Of her repentance fells
A light of glory beams around
And renders Eden ha!lowed still.
