ffCri ne Nd"c
Still on the tower stood the yane,
A black yew gloom'd the stagnsnt air,
peer'd athwart the chancel pane
And saw the altar cold and bare.
A clog Of lead was round my feet,
A band of pain across my brow;
Cold altar, Heaven and earth shall meet
Before you hear my marriage VOW
turn'd and humid bitter song
That mock d the wholesome human heart
And then we met in wrath and wrong
We met, but only met to part
Full cold my greeting was and dry;
She family smiled, she hardly moved;
saw with half uneoneious eye
She wore the colors approved.
She took the little ivory chest,
With half a sigh she turnd the key,
Then raised her head with lips comprest
And gave my letters back to me.
And gave the ,rinkets and the rings,
Nv gifts when gifts of mine could please;
AS looks a father on the things
OF his dead son, looked on these.
She told me al her friends had said;
ragged against the public liar
She tsik'd as If her love we're dead,
But in my words were seeds OF hre.
No more OF love; your sex Is knoNh'
never will be twice deceived.
Henceforth trust the man alone,
The woman csonot be believed

(Aud womsn's SANDER is the wOrst)
And you, whom once loved SO well,
Thro' you, my life viii be accurst'
spske with heart. and heat and force,
shook her breast with vague alarms
Like torrents from mountain source
We rushed into each others arms.
We parted sweetly glesm'd the stars,
Aud sweet the yaporbraided blue
Low breezes fann'd the belfry bars,
AS homewsrd by the church drew.

THE ORPHANS INVOCATION.

This poetry. written by young glrl; is from a
heart whose depths are unfathomable:
My sorrow is no dream-the earth has none
Whose bosom-chords quivering for me;
If the uneEding universe bears one
My mother-oh my mOtheTl it IS thee
And since the dark grave veil d thee from my slSnt
1 have endured the loneliness oi years;
Then let me gaze on thee this restless night:
Come. invoke thee with a spell OF tears.
know not OF thy spirit: sighs float far
To lose themselves amid the shades of space,
Thought wanders wildly on from star to star,
But does not reach its final resting placel
Well. let Eternitys strong barriers rise
And mock the madness of my midnight prayer,
For though love rushes to the shadowy skies,
1t shall not seek to lure lost light from thee
No. no-I lend lone and listening ear
When every song birds weary wings are furled;
Then speak one word: will not ask to hear
The mournfnl music of the angel world;
gaze through darkness, but It's not to view
The faE-off glory of the spirits shore;
Bring the resistess beauty that knew
Ere life was clouded-I W II wish no more.
Ali my mind wanders, for the grave is deep,
And they have laid thee with its lovely dead:
/ trembe when the moaning nIght-winds sweep
Above that place of silence and of dread
For Joy earth-dews have fearful power
They fall on lips and brow TO leave no trace,
And not one spell that strs this haunted hour
Can call them from oblivion,s dark embrace
OH then if earth nor heaven win e'er give back
The beauty and the spirit that have flown,
If none retrace the souls ethereal track,
If must bear life and the woIld-alone.
Then let my childhood's dreamy memories wake
And chill the brow agonize the brain
I care not though my heaving heart-strngs break
For then the lost love Will be mine ;asl
Yet gaze on me, my mother. when days light
Is fading from the crimson clouds OF even,
And when tie quivering stars of the solemn night
Light the blue loneliness of their far heaven,
And murmur to me, though L hear thee not
Yes, If thy early anguish IS for got,
Pity my own, and smile as thou hast smiled.
