VIOLET AND TIE ROSE.

From the bed where u young rcse grew
',.Awaks-thee, my sister violet.
Aud open thine eyes of blue bocd
Shake the lovely dew from thy lovely heao'
Aud thy perfum'd leaves unfold, ,h,b,
And rejoice like me in the pleSsou "s"
OF the mornings living gold.
All other fair buds are gazing ou''
Ard wouing the shining sun.
And I hear IN. echo OF souildins eet

Fcrchance some maiden nay "ohusi o'
Ana look on our place VI resi-
And bear Us away from our io"ty houo

M, Hiss, 10 repose on so lovely a couch,
And be gazsd OH by bsauty's eye;
On, bliss, to he praised by her gentle voice,
And be tann'd by her fragrant sigh.
How loug must we dwell ON the Joyless earthi
How long crust We linger here'
Saw. dos; thou not pine for a prouder iot
Answer u,e, sister dear
A faint, sweet sound, like q luto's last note,
On the mornings stiffness broke,
And the mir was stirt'd with On odorous breath,
A. the meek young violet spoke.
.'Thers's a quiet bliss in our own green faie'
And l love its calm beauty well; h.oovo-
There's d Joy, there's Joy in eeoh passing otee1e-
lis 9 home where love to dwell.
Our roc: i. the azure vault Of heaven,
Our food is the dew-drops bright,
The SUN throws its beams on our pain oy aay,
And the stars are our lamps by night
va s,rung up mid odor and bloom and light,
We me wood by the minstrel wind
Hare rest then, dear rose, in thiue own sweet home,
For u fairer thou can'st not hnd.'
Blu, the rose still pinod for a prouder lot,
And il pined NOT long in vain,
For a maiden, with check like its own redleaf,
Game dancing o or the plaini
Shs gard on its hue With adniring eye,
4 nj she c-aiSf.l II with gentle voice,
Aud piac'd in her bosom of spot!ess white,
o.. ;nen did the rose rejoice.
A few brief hours Of flight and joy,
Aud the flower was ali forgot,
And il ionc'd again for lis quiet home,
FoS il saw il was needed not;
it wiihercd apace in its high abode,
Unootic'd by beauty's eye,
And when the dim shadows Of twilight came,
Twas cast on It's home TO die.
The violet still lived ia its loneliness,
Aud the moon and tho stars look'd down,
Aud silverd the misty veil of dew,
That tho even had over II thrown;
The ephyrs wooedit, and sportively strove
Its odo-ous breath TO share,
Willis. they turned aside from the faided rose,
And loft i, 10 perish there.
Thus thou may'st learn, from q sim lie flower,
4 Lesson thy course to guide -
THEN cling to the bliss of thy quiet home,
An, dream not of wealth and pride.
and, oh. when ambition would faint thy soul,
Or ,hou sighes; for pomp and state,
TLiak thou Of the lowlv violet's lot
Aud remember the roses fate.
