THE TREASURED RINGLET.


am thinking how one April eve.
y On the old arm chair
sat, and how fondIy played
With this brown lock Of hair;
Your head was pillowed on mp breast,
Your eyes were fixed on mine,
/ knew your heart was allmy own,
kwew my own was thine.
The balmy breath Of Violets
Came floating ia the room,
And mingling with the roses sigh,
Spread round rich perfume;
Yet sweeter was the warm breath WHICH
/ felt upon my cheek,
Then fragrance from the blnshingrose
Or from the violet week.
Upon the oak the mocking bird
Was singing loud and clear,
But notes more musical to me
Were falling on my ear;
For from your noble heart you poured
Loves low, yet thrilling tone,
And every W I'd your pure soul breathed,
Wes answered BY my own.
How like glorious rainbow thea
The future all appeared!
Nocare of sorrow then we knew,
No disappointment feared.
The worlds rude waves had not begun
Across our path to sweep,
We neyer-save from happiness
Had cause to sigh Or weep.
But many weary years have passed,
Since that bright April eve,
Andyou have learned since then to weep,
And / have learnedto grieve;
And on thy brow, IN furrowed then,
Time and his sister. Care,
Have set their wrinkIed seal, and strewed
Theirsilver in thy hair,
Nor Time, Care, nor the worlds rude waves
Have hadthe power to chill
The holy love which then we vowed,
Thatit unc GUIDED still;
AnduntiI De .th-the reaper-comes,
It ne'er shall flow away
Our tide Of love which just began
Upon that April day.

MS HOUSE,, DEATH, Grave, AND MONUMENT

On the summit that commands this en-.
chanting view the mansion was built BIZ
Jefferson when he had wealth to lavish on
his cultivated tastes The house was 100
feet long, and peculiar form and proper
ton. You enter a vide and lofty hall, that
was once adorned with works Of art which
he had selected with amaster's skill ii the
high places ofthe earth; then you pass on
to ths spacious dwelling room, with polish
ed inlaiti floor, then to his library. and study
and parlor. Ascend this flight Of stairs. =
not wide enough for than one to walk up at
a time ane you fine the chamber where he
died on the 4th Of July, 1896. The bed
was in recess the end of which contained
two cross pieces. and on this was thrown
the mattress on which he laid himself to die.
It was the gloomiest place-that dead room
that was ever In; there was the strongest
gathering ofthoughts, crowded upon each
other, and each claiming to be the true
emotion for thehour and spot. thought
ofliberty and revolutions Of human great
ness and glory--of philosophy AMI Of relig-
ion, and infdeiity, and death and hereafter

the letters, and rushing away with them into
the darkness af an untried future, to the
presence of the Infinite. in whom the wisdom

on the oeean--before whom the soul Of the
unholy shrinks away Id finds the rage Of
human glory and til LEAVES Of philosO-
