WOMAN'S LOVE.
BY J. ". WEIGH.

In that little rosewood casket
Which is resting on the stand,
There's package Of old letters,
Penned by cherished hand.
Will you 20 and bring them, sister,
Aud read them DER to night
l have often tried, but could not,
For the tears that dimmed my sight.
Come up closer to me, sister,
Let me lean upon thy breast;
For my tide of life is ebbing,
And fsin would be at rest,
Read the letters he has written
He whose voice I We often heard
Read them over, love, distinctly,
That lose not cen word.
Tell him. sister, when you SOC him,
That never ceased to love;
That l, dying, prayed to meet him
In better home above;
Tell him that l n'er upbrsided,
Ns'er word Of censure spoke,
Though bis silence and his absence,
My heart had well-nigh broke.
Tell him that watched his coming.
When the nOon-tide sun was high,
And when at eve the angels
Lit their star-lamps in the sky;
Aud when saw he came not,
Tell him that did not chide,
But that | ever loved hun
That blessed him when died.
When u the graves white garments
You have wrapped my form around,
Aud have laid me down to siunber
In the quiet church.yard ground;
Place the pictures aud the letters
Close against my pulseless heart;
We for years have been together,
And in death We may not part.
/ am ready now, dear sister;
You may read the letters Der,
1 will listen to the words of him
Whom shall see no more;
Should camly iull usleep-
Fall asleep in death-and wake not
Gentle sister. do not weep.

vANITAS VANITATUM.

Tho Glssyow Free Press publishes this as an origi
nal no.m by Gerald Griffin, which has hitherto alum
bersd in obscury IL certainty displays nuch VI Tux
character Of Grtfin's pious. plantive muse.
The stream that barries by your fixed shore
Returns no more;
The wind that dries ut morn yon dewy lawn
Breathes and is gone;
Those wiihered flowers to summers ripening glow
No more shall blow;
Those fallen leaves that strew yon garden bed
For aye are dead;
On shore or sea, or HILL or vale or PLAIN
Naught shall remain;
Vainly for sunshine fed, and joys gone by,
We heave sigh.
On, ever on, with unexhausted breath
Time hastes 10 death;
Even with each word we speak moment LIES
Is born and dies;
OF all for which poor mortal, vauly mourn
Naught shall return.
Life has its home in heaven and earth beneath,
Aud so hath death;
Not all the chains tina, cank in eastern cline
Can feiter time;
For all the phials in the doctors store
Youth comes no more;
No drugs Oh age's wrinkled cheek renew
Liie's early hue;
Not all the tears by pous mourners shed
Can wake the dead.
II thus through lesser natures empire wide
Nothing abide
If wind, and wave, and leaf, and sun, and flower
Have all their hour
lie walks on ice whose dayiug spirit clings
To earthly things;
Aud he alone is wise whose well.tausht love
Is fixed above;
Truths firm and bright, but oft to mortal car
Chilling and drear;
Harsh as the ravens crosk the sounds that tell
Ofpleasure's knell;
Pray, reader, that the minstrels strain
Not all be vain
And when thou bends, to God the suppliant knee
Remember ME.

Yes, I answered you last night;
mo" this morning, sir, | say.
Colors seen by candle-light,
Will not look the same by day.
When the tabors play'd their best,
Lamps above, and laughs below
Love me sounded like jest,
Fit for Yes or ht for No.
Cell me false or call me free
Vow, whatever light may shine,
No man on thy face shall see
Auy grief for change ON mine.
Yet the sin on US both
Time to dance il not to WOO
Wooer light makes tickle troth-
Scorn OF me recoils on you,
Learn to win lady's faith
Nobly as the thing is high;
Bravely, as for life ind death
With q loyal gravity.
Lead her from the festive boards,
Point her to the starry skies,
Guard her, by your truthful words,
Pure from courtship's batteries.
BY your truth she shall be true
Ever true, as wives of yore-
And her Yes, once said to you,
Shall be yes for evermore.

THE SABBATH.

With silent awe hail the sacred morn
Which slowly wakes while all the fields are still,
soothing calm Oh every breeze is borne,
\ graver murmer gurgl.s from the rill,
Aud echo answers eofter from the hill,
Aud softer sings the linnet from the thorn;
The skylark MARBLES in a tone less shr
Hail! light serene, hail sacred Sabbath morn!
The rocks float silent by i'll airy drove;
The sun placid yellow lustrc shows;
The gales that lately sighed along the grove,
Have hushed their downy wings in sweet repose,
Tho towering rack Of clouds forget to move;
So smiled the day when the FIRST morn arose.
