T.. AS The lady rode home Through the
darkness, her heavy eye-lids dropped in

things are as short lived as rare.
Very near that lady's home there was
a bed OF violets in woody dell. Thro'

Love OF MARRIED LIFE.-The afTec.
tion that links together man and wife
is far holier, and more enduring pas.
sion than the enthusiasm of young love.
1t may want its gorgeousness--it may
want its imaginative character, but it
is far richer in holy and trusting attri-
butes. Talk not to us Of the absence OF
love in wedlock. What! because man
has ceased to "sigh like furnace" are
we to believe that the FIRE is extinct?-
No! it burns with steady and brill
liant flame shedding a benign influ-
ence upon existence, million times
more precious and delightful than the
dreams OF philosophy.

Ycs, Truly, 'twas Thus i'm MY Dream.
/ dreamed of a walk and sunset bright;
OF a towering mountain high
OF q rustic seat where the zephyrs Flay,
And stream that rippled by.
And dreamed of landscape, weird and fair,
Ger which the lingering sunlight cleaned
OF twilight hour ard asilvery moon,
And Of starry sky, dreamed.
And dreamed of form that by my side,
In the uncertain light did seem
And her brow was fair and her eye was bright;
Yes, truly, twas thus in my dream!
And dreamed Of voice, whose gentle tones
Spoke tweetly of by-goDe hours;
or hearts that had loved, and lips that had blessed,
When all was bright as the flowers.
dreamed that the tear in her liquid eye,
Just quiversd q while AID then fell
While she said, "they are gone, all gone from me
Who loved them SO fondly and WE'LL" [now-
dreamed that spoke in a soothing tone,
OF hope and the future SO fair;
or a trust in God and tranquil soul,
To Danish each lingering care.
And dreamed that she smiled with gentle smile
Then quickly she vanished away
And was alone on the mountain top,
In tho mists Of the evening grey. j. B. &C.
