10 Rercy,-BY MINNIE, OF MD.
Through all these glorious summer days, dear one,
These hoeting hours borne by on golden wings,
i wander round my homo with haunted heart
Haunted forever more by dreams Of thee.
/ am not sad,-a strange, sweet thrilling peace,
Has stillod 10 rest the waves Of sorrows deep
Which tempest tossed my life. For we'll 1 know
Tho by another's side, bound by a vow
A lifetime VOW am thy spirit bride.
somtimes a vague, sad yearning for a tone
OF that dear voice Of thine, comes DER my heart,
But, / remember with q thrill Of peace,
Thy partings word "Tho' bound to her
BY ties which sever not, yet dearest ono,
NY spirit love Is thine" And so l hush
That hopeless yearning, and crush back the pain
OF absence agony, and my sad heart
Grows calm again. A voice within my dreams
Whispers, che doubts thee" to my list'ning heart
And dear one can this be?
Let me impress, oh deeply on thy heart
That, far more deeply than ought else besides,
Within my very soul / worship thee,
Not with an earthly love, but such n love
As mortals bear to heavens angelic guards.
Often ut eve in my lone orison
I pray Of God l may not worship thee,
His creature, more than Him, the "Great first
Cause"
Now neper doubt me more, go on thy way
Redeem thy ~plightod vow-lct that dear brow
Wear honor's stainless s~ignet-tho' thy heart
Break in the struggle to maintain it there.
Walk on Lifc's way, give thy dear self,
And all of earth thou hast to give, to her
But oh 10 me at evenings holy hour
Give me one sad thought. Connect me with tn.
dreams
OF Life above, for only there,
Can we be free to love. Of not on earth,
For here we're parted by q fate as strong
And stronger far than Death-thy vow-andmine
oh thou so dearly, vainly loved, farewell
1 bid thee now. My whole hearts love
pour in blessings on thy life, with this
Last word oh dearest one, farewell!

NY Minds FancYings.

BY MISS s. s. J.
Ny mind Is wandering far away,
Upon some mountain top,
Where birds arc singing artless lays
Some lovely, vernal spot:
Fond memory fingers on its heights,
Or lonely, quiet dell,
And days Of auld langsync their light
Cast DER my heart a spell.
Or iAsomo fairy elm bower,
Some sweet, enchanting grove,
Beneath tho oaks uplifting tower,
And breathes sweet lays Of love.
Twas in some such romantic spot,
A lover sat alone,
And dreamed Of her in humble cot,
Who loved him as her own.
A quiet, calm retreat was here,
From life's turmoil and care,
To gaze with prophets ken or seer,
And send his thoughts afar.
In fancy now, I see delight
Upon that noble brow,
As reveling in the beauteous sight
OF scenery far below.
Methinks | see tho nowrets fair,
That bloom around thy feet,
Methinks | breathe the balmy air
And sip the perfume sweet.
Now far behind the western hills,
l sec the orb Of day,
AS ~dreamily his lingering rays
Proclaim the close Of day.
Twas in q lovely hour like this,
In the beauteous month Of May,
A Hover sat, in memory's bliss,
And dreamed Of her afar away.
