of their own hearts. The strong man, ia The
vigor of his years, pledges The best energies oI
his being to sustain and defend tie trusting
woman, VITO offers him in return the wealth
OF Of her unSuIIied affections. From all our
hearts goes up the involuntary prayer "God

TO A NEW FRIEND.

But few short months, dear lady,
Have Joined the regretful past;
But few of our noble life friends
Have yielded to deaths cold blast;
But q few bright flowers have withered,
. And beneath the snow now bend,
Since far, far down in my heart depths
Thy name was written "friend."
What though in life's lovely morning
Our paths did lie apart.
We soon form life acquaintance
When heart responds to heart.
What though by the ones that love thee
never have been caressed!
We have each one of Gods own angels
Upon our bosom pressed!
This, this is the link, sweet lady!
That binds my heart to thine;
For sorrowiug heart has ever
Met warm response from mine:
But when Ratchet mourns her children,
Or the wild wood.dove her young,
r. The food-tide Of sympathy
Leaps up from heart TO tongue!
0! I love the golden sunbeams
That light this broad green earth {;
And love heart DER flowing
With hope and joy and mirth:
But tits only wheal storm clouds gather
And when sorrows DER us bend.
That we feel how bright is the sunlight,
Or how valued is friend.
Dear Lady! not long I've known thee
= Aud soon We again may part;
But ''whatever skies bend DER thee,
q! think there is one heart
That loves thee-not for the sunlight
That frightened other years:
But that both have drank from the same dar
cup.
And shed the same bitter tears!
