For the Grand River Times.
THE YOUNG BRIDE.
She seemed to me, like joyous bird
When her silvery laugh rang out;
And off fo1loyod ba, f,;r,, cor,,,

When her silvery laugh rang out;
And oft followed her fairy form,
With my eye as she aoated about
She was all love, all happiness-that young
bride. There was magic in her merry, ringing
laugh that charmed away my loneliness, that
put sorrow to fight. ltcould not brood over
me like spirit of shadows in the warm atmos-
phere of her sunny smiles. Her happy, BEAM
ing face, where trust and confidence were so
plainly deineated, made me ashamed of my self
ishness, of my cold reserve Often did resolve
to try and be more amiable, more pleasing to
Others She was happy; was not. Not that
| envied her, her happiness; oh, no! Gladly
would have added one drop to her cup; but it
was full-ay, to the brim. She was, methought,
too happy but / would not cast the shadow
of coming years over her; no not in magma
ton. would not think that she might learn to
know sorrow, that she might have to battle with
cold reality; mo- life was now rich to her,
The present was full of bliss; and the future,
ay! the future it might be, would not. could
not dim her future with vague apprehensions
Joy, joy to the young bride. Love, peace and
friendship crown her happy days; home and
happiness forever be her lot; Heavens richest
blessings hover DER her path.

not so saleable as some other stocks, and, at the
same time, advised Barnard to sell what he had
