BY MARIE JANE TAYL

BY MARIE JANE TAYLOR.
There is tie whose magic force
The power of heightened years defes,
And in its deep and stainless course,
A dcarer tide to life supplies;
1t gives to thoughts their daily source.
Though days of gloom may intervene,
And oceans waves roll on their course,
And lofty mountains rise between.
We cannot comprehend the power
That sways our inmost thoughts at will;
We feel that tie increase each hour,
More lasting, deep, and fervent still +;
We feel this cord which love cntwines
Unconsciously round feeling hearts,
Which length of absence but refines,
And death alone forever parts.
Though like the wild migrating bird,
To distant climes VIC may repair;
Yet in our hearts, unseen, unheArd,
Tho loved and lost will haunt us there
Tho cord that true affection binds
Around the noble generous breast,
Will 1.-Two cOeval with their minds,
And only cease when these shall rest.

am far away, fighting my coantry's bat
ties, what bliss it would be to know tha
you sometimes think of me and that if
should fall. you would shed one tear 70
me-"
His listener at these words wept freely
and when her agitation had somewha
passed, spoke.
"Albert." she said, "you have con
quered. Know then that I do love you.
AT these words the impetuous young
man clasped her in his arms, but she dis
engaged herself, saying:
"But while my father opposes YOU
suit, 1 can never be yours. The con
sciousness of his approval has made me
affect coldness that me heart belied, in
the hope that you would think of some
one more worthy of you-but-but," !" she
hesitated, then quickly added, "in word
if it will comfort you when away, to know
that think of you, and pray for you, &c
forth happy-the misery is for us who
stay behind, and who are anxious for the
fate of the absent"
The tears fell fast as she spoke, and,
concluding, she suffered her head to be
drawn to her lovers shoulder, while a
deep and holy silence succeeded, as these
two young and already unhappy beings
held each other in first embrace.
1t was only for moment however that
Ellen yielded to weakness. Raising her
head, and brushing the tears from her
eyes, she said, while crimson bushes
overspread her face
"And now, farewell-perhaps all this
is wrong-but l could not see you leave
me in anger"
"God bless you for those kind words, ("
said Albert. But, Ellen, before you go
one more request. That miniature that
hangs about your neck-is it TOO much to
ask for it %
She hesitated then as steps were heard
on the road, suddenly gave it to him. He
drew heavy signet ring from his finger,
and said. rendering it in exchange
"Take this, and let us be true 10 each
other, so help us God !"
And with this adjuration, he sprang
over the fence to conceal himself behind
the bushwood, while Ellen, Fastening up
the avenue, was soon lost in the obscuri-
ty of the hour.
The wind sighed mournfully through
the pine woods as this betrothal was con-
summated, and the dark starless sky over
head, looked down with his wearied and
melancholy face.

In short, marriage to young man is

attack, their leader is the first to face the
