A Love Song.

We copy the following from the Editors
Table, in the November number Of the Rnick
er6ooker The song was written by L. +
Thomas, Esq, now Of this city. 4
"LDs's Lesson" the tale spoken Of by the
editor of the Knickerbocker, written by the
sister Of Mr.. Thomas, We have not seen. The
National hltetligeacer notices il very favora-
bly,, and we doubt not very justly, as the au-
thor has enjoyed high reputation as poetess,
and is qualified for novel writing.
h,dd and other Poems was a work Of
merit, and was published at our Office in st
Louis, about e42 We have not seen copy
during the last ten years
Here's health to the one love dearest
And joy TO the heart TO mine nearest,
In fair form Of grace,
With sweet scraph face,
And eyes that shine like the light divine
Beaming with love from her souls holy shrine.
While her pure hearts glow,
Meath her bosoms snow,
Hath feeling that none but the loving can know,
Eyer-foreycr!
"How oft have we roved by the river,
Where mirrored the moonbeams would culver,
And the breeze with perfume
From the spring flowers bloom,
Ger our senses 30 softly swept stealing,
As fondly each truly revealing
Tho faith hope and love
That Fate ne'er can move,
While stars sweetly shone from the blue above,
Ever-forever!
"Ohl my soul is sad, for It's fearing
Wen meet here no more cndcaring
But her hearts my hearts home, 4.
Though in sorrow roam,
Far away from the scenes Of our trysting
Where the silent stars only were listening;

Our pilgrimage through,
We will meet TO dwell where the angels do
Ever-foreyer"

We have read, and read with interest and pleasure,
work recently issued by the Brothers Harper,
entitled Life's Lesson a Tale It is by lady,
whose name, without impropriety, we might per.
haps mention, although not expressly permitted to
do SO. 1t will suffice to say, that she belongs to a
literary family. Her fathers uncle edited the IVor-
ccstcr Spy during the Revolution, and was the ar-
thor Of The History Of Printing a work of stan
dard value, not only for the craft but for all who
feel an interest in the intellectual history and pro-
gross Of the country. Her father was the author
OF a work formerly noticed in the Knickerbocker,
entitled "Reminiscences of The last Sirtyfve Years
in the WeSf-a gentleman of the old school,
whose venerable form, noble face and flowing sill
very hair, although but once seen, we shall never
forget. One Of her brothers is the author of the
novel called Clinton Bradshaw which attained
wide popularity, East and Vest 'Homard Pinck-
men, &C.; and still another brother has made him
self hvorably known by articles of merit, both in
prose and verse, although We are not aware that
he has ever collected his writings into book.
Upon second thought it occurs to us that he did
publish volume, entitled, if we remember rightly,
IHda and Other Poems 1t is now out of print
but 1t would in our judgment, SO far as we remeul.
Der it well repay publication. AS touching the
book before US, only say that the sister has
shown that the talent of very talented family is
quite far from being confined to the male branches
thereof Her story is a simple domestic one, in
which you sec throughout the keen observation,
the tenderness and sensbility of the true woman.
AT the same time, 1t has lack of power, in the
better sense of that greatly -misused word. The
Incidents always Of interest," and frequently excl
ting, and their progress TO the deaonenent of the
tale, are forcible yet enforced. Without farther
comment, and without extracts, for which VIC re-
greet our lack Of room, at SO late period Of the
month, We commend Lifss Lesson cordially to
our readers, as work well worthy Of patronage"
