Lewis, as we have said, was persuaded to go to
the wars in Palestine regarding the sacrifice Of his
domestic joys to the conquest of Jerusalem az a
religious duty. The blight which was thus brought
over the heart the youthful wife, and the prestly
Influence of Conrad in subduing nature to mista-

Eh-. On that we two were Maying
Down the stream of the loft Spring breeze;
Like children with violets playing
In the 81 ade Of the whs pering trees.
Oh that we two sat dreaming
On the sward Of some sheep-rimmed down,
Watching the white mist steaIning
Over river and mead and town.
Oh that we two lay sleeping
In nest in the churhyaId sod,
With limbs at rest on the quiet earth breast,
And our FOULS at home with God
L/,c Al, turn away those swsrthy diamonds' blaze!
MiLe eyes dizzy, and my faint sense reels
In the rich fragrance OF those purple tresses.
Oh, TO be thur, and thus, day after day
To sleep and wake, and find it yet no dream
My phere, my hourly food, such bliss
As to have dreant Of, five short years agone,
Had seemed mad cOnceit.

Ehz. Lewis, am too happy floating higher
Than e'er my vii had dared to soar, though able;
But circumstances, which is the will OF God
Beguied my cowardice TO that, which, darling,

Love would lave had no strangeness in mine eyes,
Save from the prejudice viii III Others taught NE
They should know best. Yet now this wetock seems
A second infancy'- baptismal robe,
A heaven, my spirits antenata home,
Lost in blind piniog giilbood-found now, found!

Letc. Ay, marriage is the lifelong miracle,
The Selfbegettiug wonder daily fresh;
The Eden where the spirit and the flesh
Are again, and newborn souls walk free

No impious Soldan's feast of old.

Aud nerve myself with stripes to meet the weary day
And labor for thy sake.
