COME TO ME In DREAMS.
By GEO. d. PRENTICE.

By GEO. D. PRENTICE.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh! come to me oft,
When the light wing of sleep
On my bosom lies soft;
Oh! come when the sea
In the moons gentle light,
Beats low on the ear
Like the pulse of the night
When the sky and the wave
Wear their loveliest blue. .
When the dew's on the flower
And the star on the dew.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh! come and we'll stray,
Where the whole year is crowned
With the blossoms of May
Where each sound is as sweet
As the COO of the dove,
And the gales are as soft
As the breathings of love;
Where the beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet lessons they teach.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh! come and we'll fly
Like two winged spirits
Of love through the sky;
With hand clasped in hand
On our dream-wings we'll 70
Where the starlight and moonlight
Are blending their glow;
And on bright clouds we'll lineer
Through long dreamy hours,
Till loves angels envy
That heaven of ours.

He was On old man. Not 80 old either.
for the wrinkles that marred his cadaverous
vlsage were not the autograph that Times
fingers had laid there-and the hand that
placed upon the low table the well drained
glass, did not tremble so with the weakness
that old age induces-yet very old and
wretcEed looked the sole occupant of that
narrow room, with its red curtains and floor
stained with tobacco juice, and an atmos-
phere abundantly seasoned by the bar room
into which it opened. A hat (it must have
been intended for one) half concealed the
uncombed locks, and an unmistakable evi-
dence of a familiar aracquaintance with brick
bats and the gutter did that same hat pro-
duce.
Then there was o coat, out of whose
sleeves peeped pair of elbows, in rejoicing
consciousness that they "could afford to be
out" Add to these a shabby pair of faded
pants, and you have, reader, the tout ensen-
bic of this wretched being, who had just
commenced his daily potations in the only
grog shop he was allowed to frequent-yet
the wretched friendless creature that sat
in there, half stupifed with the effects of
his morning dram, had a heart, and far up
great many pairs of winding stairs in his
heart was door easily passed by, and on
that door, covered with cobwebs and dust
Of time and sin, was written-'MAN! !" But
nobody dreamed of this, and when the tenn
perance men had gone to him with their
pledge, and promised him employment and
respectability, if he would sign it, and 9th
ers (well meaning men, too,) had rated him
soundly for his evil ways, and he had turn
ed deaf ear to all those thing, and had
gone back with blind pertinacity to his cups
again, everybody said old Billy Suong's
case was hopeless one. -
All, none of these had patiently groped
their way up the hearts winding stairs,
and read the inscription ON the hidden door
up there. But while the unhappy man sat
by the pine table, the bar keeper suddenly
entered, followed by lady, with pale high
brow, mild hazel eyes, and strangely win
ming expression on her peusive face. The
old man looked up with vacant stare OF
