My soul thy sacred imagine keeps,
My midnight dreams are all Of thee:
For nature then in silence sleeps,
And slI nee broods o'er land and sea:
Oh, In that still, mysterious hour,
How Oft from waking dreams start,
To ind thee but a fancy flower, -..
Thou cherished idol Of nv heart,
Ihou mast each dream ana thought Of mine
Have In turn one thought Of thine,
Forever thine my dreams will be,
w hate er may be my fortune here:
1 ask not love-I claiIa from thee
Only one boon, gentle tear;
May e'er blest visions from above
Play brightly round thy happy heart.
Ana may the beams Of peace and love
Ne'er from thy glowing soul depart, ...
Farewell my dreams are still with thee,
HAST thou one tender thought Of me! '--
My joys like summer birds may fy,
Ny hopes like summer blooms depart,
but there's one flower that cannot die
The holy memory I'm nv heart: 81
No dews that flowers cup may fu,
No sunlight to its leaves lie given.
But II will live and flourish still,
AS deathless as thing Of heaven.
My soul greets thine, unasked, unsought-
Mast tnou Tor me one gentle thought
Farewell farewell my far off friend.
Between us broad, blue rivers fow,
md forests wave and plains extend,
And mountains In the sunlight glow;
he wind that breathes upon try brow
is not the wind that breaths on mine.
The star-beams shining on thee now --.
are not the beams that on me shine;
But memory's spell ia with me vet
Can'st thou the holy past forget.
The bitter tears that thou andI
May shed whene'er hy anguish bowed
Eahaled into tie noontids sky.
Nav meet and mingle in the cloud:
And thus, my much beloved fIiend, though W
Far, far apart must live and move,

Can mingle In tae world of love

College, Prof. Si'limsn was called out by n
complimentary toast. In the course of his
remarks the Professor proceeded, for the bene-
fit Of the younger hrcthers present, to say how
Il was that at his age l76 years. he enjoyed
such excellent health and spirits. He said
that at thirty he was dyspeptic and feeble.
lie cut off determinedly sll stimulants, and
has used none since. He dieted one year, and
then returned TO his labor He ate always
piain, dilutent drinks He eschewed tobacco
in every form. Every morning used the sponge
and cold water, and ielt now no less power Of
endurance than when he was a young man,
and no abatement Of intellectual power.
