THE BOOK.

luE DOOA.
By FREDERICK S. cozzESs.
l len. my love book ono day,
Sho brought il back, laid il by;
Twas little either had to cay
She wa. 80 strange, aud 30 shy.
But vet we loved Indifferent thinSs-
The sp.outing buds, tho birds III tuho;
And time stood still, and wreathed his wings
With rosy links from Juue to June.
For her, what task to dare or dot
What peril tempt. what hardship bear?
Bat with her! an, she never knew
Ny heart, aud what was hidden there.
And she with me, so cold and coy,
Seemed like maid bereft Of seuso;
But in crowd all life and joy,
And full of blrshful impudeuce.
She Married we'll, woman needs
4 mate, herlife and love to share
And little cares sprung up like weeds,
And played around hor elbow chair.
And yea 70 rolled by; but I, content,
Trimmed nv, one lamp and keptit bright
Till ages touch my hair besprent
With rays and CLEANS ofsllver light.
And then it CHANGED. I took the book
Which abe bad read in days gone by,
And a. read, such passion shook
Ny {. anne, needs must frowu orc Org.
For here and there her love was writ
In old, half.faded pencil sigps,
As If she yielded, bi: by hit,
Her heart, in dots and uuderlines.
All, silvered fool! too late you look!
know it lot mo hers record
This maxim: lend no maid a book,
Uaiss yox read it otterwdrd:

From the first appalling moment when he sounded
