CHARITY CoNcERT.-The concert on Friday
evening, for the benefit of the poor of the city,
surpassed our expectation-the music we

singers are entitled to much credit The per-
formers were Misses Hayden, Higgins,
Hogan, Patten, Mcclellan, and Mrs. Wiggin

Which curbs my hearts intention,
Yet when along tina: neck of snow
saw those bright curls folded,
thought land almost said, know,)
ssWould such for me were moulded 70
The eye full bright, that fatal night,
Which set me so to dreaming,
Pm sure was meant some Heaven to light
Tho earth enjoy'd Its cleaning.
A fervid meteor far astray
In the dull realms Of strife-dom,
Could not have shed q warmer ray
O'er the dim path of life-dom.
No, No, cannot tell you half
Nor should have said what this is:
(Although your lip know you'll laugh
Is redolent OF kisses.
Because the world is chill OF heart
And heeds not loves beguiling,
And public song Of Cupid's dart,
Only excites Its smiling.
But in my breast there Is q cell
Far from the worlds possessing,
where you-a priestess .worship'd WE'LL

Where he shall whisper "reign, as now,
