THE DYING SWAN.
From = German Fable.
By LOUISE NAYBuRY.

The setting sun threw its golden beam,
On the sparkling waves of silver stream;
The trees waved their green boughs DER Tho
brook.
Bright birds cleaned forth from sylvan nook
And sung their vesper songs Of praise
To the God above who watched DER their ways
In the bright waters Of that stream. SO deep,
A swan had laid him down to sleep.
The beautiful world had all grown dim,
For he knew 'twould all be lost to him,
For the Aim of death was o er his eyes.
And from those waves, meier again he'd arise
But STILL midst the ebbins food of life.
Midst the thoughts of death, with sadness rife
One wish still arose in his gentle breast,
That granted, peaceful would he his rest
Philomel, that tabled bird of song,
Warbled there sweetly from night till morn
And even the song of the tiny lark,
Kindled the wish in the swans pure heart,
That he might sing a song of love,
To the God who formed him. far above;
And, as songs arose from every tree,
Within himself thus soliloquized he -
IT'S true, my plumase is soft and white.
And that my form is graceful. quite,
And when swim on the waters bright,
Passers oft pause. in their delight.
To gaze at the proud maj este thing
That sails along with close-furled wing.
But these are charms that please not long.
And thew turn to hear the birds sweet song.
And lose myself in the extacy!
'Twould be delightful requiem,
And I'd sail far into Elysum."
Thus murmured the gentle, dying bird,
And Apollo, his last request had heard.
On the banks OF the shining stream, he stood,
And beckoned to him, the longing bird.
Thou art granted this-thy last desire ~
And he touched the birds plumase with his
Tyre:
The swan for one moment paused. and then
Broke into loud exulting strain;
Twas heavenly music now breathing low,
Scarce sounding above the waters flow,
Then, swelling in louder, richer praise
To the One who had watched him all his days
The trees of the forest their br anches shook,
And leaned towards the sparkling brook
And the graceful flowers to each other bowed,
And rupturously listed the melody loud.
But fainter grew the breathing note,
Till it died away in the warbler's throat;
Once more it eush'd forth.-and the song was
done,
The warbler was far in Elysium.

THE SWEET BRIER.

THE SWEET BRIER.
The sweet brier Towering.
With boughs empowering,
beside the willow tufted stream.
In its soft, red bloom.
And its wild perfume.
Brings back the past like sunny dream!
Mcthinks in childhood,
Beside tho wildwood
i lie, and listen to the blackbirds song.
Mid the evenings calm.
As the sweet briar's balm
On the gentle west wind breathes along
To speak of meadows,
And palm-tr shadows.
And beehive cones, and thymy hill.
And greenwood mazes,
And greensward daises,
And foaming stream, and clseking mill.
Still the heart rejoices,
At the happy voices
OF children singing amid their play;
While swallows twittering.
And waters glittering,
Makes earth an Eden at close of day.
In sequestered places.
Departed faces
Return and smile as of yore they smiled;
When. with tribes blest.
Each buoyant breast
Held the trusting heart Of little child.
The future never
Again can ever
The persisted gifts of the past restore.
Nor, to thee or me,
Can the wild flower be
What the briar was then-oh, never more,
