BALTM0RE CORRESPONDENCE.
BALTIMORE, May 18-10P. n.

This is the month of flowers, of poesy,
of love and romance. There is a sweet
sentimentality in all nature. The soft
zephyrs, the murmuring rivulets, the
green foliage, and the odorous perfume
all conspire to renoyate the memory Of
young loves dream. lam not altogether
callous to sentiment, and once in seven
years indulge the muses.. Not long since
[ took sort of lovers perambulation in
the country, and feeling inspired by that
eloouence which speaks from the vernal-
robed face of nature, attempted to trans
late the following little ideal into poesy.
l found myself seated under the droop-
ping branches of beautiful willow, on a
mossy-covered rock, by clear gushing
fountain. Several wild flowers were
growing there, apparently in solitude,
because there was not friendly flower to
entrance them. | perceived that one
the fairest of aH-was in love with the
other, it's neighbor, but wanting the for
umlity of an introduction, they had bloom
ed, pinned and withered, Just as loving
maidens sometimes do, from similar
causes.
a n. Il ".
Whose bright, puriins waters sireanId down by
my side,
As fresh a. the nislr-bresze that blows from The
And pure as the cheeks of a young, buSlins bride
O'er my head droopd the willow, all man,led IN
green,
With tears on il. bousis. they silently wept;
Which were drawn from that iOnnt, with It's bright,
crystal sheen,
Whose waters sweetly and TRANQUILITY slept,
TN the covered rock, my feet grew rose
And close by its side was Il lily once fair
Which blush'd like the sunlight bleak Alpine

field,
Why blusles that lilly, and hangs down lis read:''

irspoke not word, for It's sweet voice had tic.l.

But ask OF that ivy that creeps close beside thee
IT'S nirthful and gay, and no doubt will be glad

grow,
The lily shed tears, which 10 me was a warning,
That something was hid which never shall know.
Those howrets you see have grown side by side.
NO Kind one was near To propose introduction:
That rose would have fam made the lilly its bride
But their nectar was siPp'd by the winds of de-
stIuction ~;

young lover. may see the evil conse-
quences of stiff, circumscribed formality,

the result of a halfday's gud geon fish.
