The Flying Dove.

The Flying D0ve.
BY L. H. MANLovE.
YoN flying dove,
Far gliding to the rosy west
Spreads her light wings of love,
Ind soars, the sunshine playing on her breast
Oh spotless dove,
Sweet roamer of these bouRdless airy fields
Teach me the way above,
That / may prove what thy sweet heaven yields
All! what pure bliss
What dawning beams, what golden tints divine
Those rolling clouds to kiss,
And bask where they in living .plendors shine
There the rapt soul
Night view, far piercing with prophetic eye,
Ages, which rise and roll,
gsrits best goal of immortality.
And thou, sweet Bird
fair heavenly type of peace and love-
My SOUPS deep fount, is stir'd,
Viewing thee fade into the realms above.
Emblem of friendship, thou,-
Oh lasting constancy thy breast fulhls
More true than lovers vow,
When the fond heart to alteration thrills.
Last eve, when shone
The last long lingering hues of day,
When each bright zone,
Did heavens ETHEREAL beams display;
In waking dreams
nused away soft twilight's holy hours;
And gaZed on streams
hit shot athwart the azure sky, in showers.
III thoughtful mood
listened 10 the Stiffness round a strain
Burst from the solitude,
More sweet than dews of vesper to the plain.
What breast could hate,
Sweet dove, hearing such notes from thee
So low, so mournful, so sedate,
Tie trembling ware of sad'ning melody.
Sweet mourner Of the vale
G.,c thy swift flying, glossy plumes 10 me,
Upon the western gale
That may mount, and soar away with thee.
All thought that springs
Vain wish, soon pass'd and now no more
wish to rob thee of thy wings
Keep keep thy pinions, Dove soon shall
soar.

CHAPTER mn.

CHAPTER III.
Widow SpangIo, very worthy matroh,
who had the g.ieyous misfortune, year
,e.orc, to lose her husband by being cayed
upon while working in deep shaft, and
Who had been, in consequence, left with a
family of five children, solely dependant
aPon her unaided efforts for maintenance,
lived in a small and unpretending dwelling
oanl by crystal spring which gushed in
lmpid purity, from the head of small RAJ
vine which lay about midway between
Tom Frost's cabin and Dumlny's lead, not
lirectly in a strait line, but some rods to
the north and west
Her eldest child was a daughter, who
had been reared in seclusion, and was con-
oquently a stranger to those experiences
Of life, and the solemn realities of existence
which a knowledge of society and its null
utom phases, always make the heart ac-
GUaiuted with; sometimes, alas, to lis I'M
leasiug sorrow. The twenty years of her
lite, however, although passed in the re-
tremont of country home, had not been
10 her unproduetite of good. Her heart
had expanded and grown strong in all
things which constitutes its real wealth,
and which make woman, emphatically "the
last best Gift Of God to man" That was
blessed provision of the Creator, that
made the heart susceptible to genial infiu-
encos capable of being warmed with the
GLOW Of affection, refined, and enlarged by
The operations of home joys, pleasures and
love without the intervention of schools,
Summaries or other manufactures of polite
Ness and good breeding
Jenny was of medium height, inclined
0a brunette, with auburn hair, hazel eyes,
md tar from being beauty. Still, she
Wis passably fair, and quite interesting.
On the evening Of the day our story o.

I$lied 10 present herself at the gate. In

On could there in this world be found
Some little spot Of happy ground,
Without the village tattling
How doub!y best that spot would be
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery,
OF gossip's endless pratt!iug!
II such q spot were really known.
Dame Peace might call it as her own,
and in ii she might fix her throne,
Forever and forever;
There like queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little sights they might receive,
And be ofended-neyer.
IT'S mischief makers that remove
Ear from cur hearts the warmth of love,
and lead us all to disappToye
What gives another pleasure;
They seem to take ones part-but when
they've heard our cares, unkindly then,
They soon retail them o'er again,
Mixed up with poisonous measure.
And then they've such cunning way
vi telling il-meant tales they say,
"D0n't mention it, pray,
IvouA not tell another
Straight to our neighbor then they go,
Narratiug everything they know;
and break the peace of high and low,
Wlie, husband, friend, and brother.
Ga t1at &c mischief making crew
We're al reduced to one or two,
and they were painted red or blue,
That every one might know them;
Then would our villagers forget
70 rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
and fall into an angry pet,
With things so much below them.
For lis sad, degrading part;
TO make anothcr's bosom smart,
And pant a dagger in the heart,
We ought to love and cherish
Then let lis evermore be found
lnquietness with all around,
While friendship, joy and peace abound
And ,elgry feelings perish

THE following Poetic effugion should have
oreared some weeks ago
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1854-09-11

Early on this same morning, Rosenburgl
sought the cabin of Dummy, and in few
words informed him Of his suspicious, assn
red him Of his friendship, made tender Of
his services III case Of difficulty, and eau
tloning him to resist all offers of purchase
how tempting soever that might appear:
hurried home. After waiting probably
two hours and half, he sauntered care
lessly mp to the Light House, to learn as
much as he was able about the impression
Dummy's lead had made upon the minds
of the miners, and whether anything had
talxefs -slaee iafeiudicial TO Dunsmvs inter
est, or any Othef aItenpu o1IUulu-Uo

his father, when in fit of intoxication. in
which ne lndulged almost daily, and since
then he had been wanderer on the earth
his education neglected, and manners en-
tlrely unimproved; and that within the
past year, an aged uncle had died in that
State, leaving him large sum Of money.
which, when he received it, would put him
in circumstances of ease and independence
during his life; and the reason why he did
not quit his present life of toll and vicissi-
tude and go to enjoy that, sprung from
two causes: the first was that it was vet in
the hands Of the law, and secondly, he had
too much native pride to return to his re-
latiyes without having sufficient means to
appear in a respectable manner, in which
they need not be ashamed of him.
With such tales as these, wholly, the
creature of his brain, he worked upon the
unsuspecting heart of Jenny until he had,
IN measure, famed the spark of feeling
he had in the first instance enkindled in
her heart into a flame of something
akin to love- The whole was sheer
fabrication Tithnot a word of truth in it..
To convince her of the fact that he had
become the heir to fortune, he procured
letters to be forged as coming from his re-
latives South, and addressed to him, and
IN most secret manner, exhibited them
to her. Wearing the appearance of being
genuine, and being but little acquainted
with the world, she readily believed the
whole; and thus like an artless and conf
ding girl, she gave up, in part, her soul to
the sweet influences of love, which, in the
life of a woman, is the polar-star of her ex-
istence.
Some may imagine that it is the height
Of improbability that Jenny should form
an attachment for Tom Frost while he was
laboring universally under so much oppro-
brium and dislike; but let any one scruti-
nize closely the actions Of any dozen fe-
males in his own neighborhood, in this re-
spect, and he will find that some of them
are quite as unreasonable. Well has love
been represented by the ancients as blind.
Jenny had no one to undeceive her, or toI
point out the dangerous ground upon which
she was treading, and hence she fell into
the snarer's net.
