I'LL THINK OF THEE.
BY HENRY T. HARRIS.


I'll think of thee when. morning breaks
In dew.bathed beauty DER the earth;
Wren srtvery showers in shadowy dells
Give to the blue.eyed viOlets birth;
Of thee when sunbeams softly fall
Around the roSe-wreathed bowers of June /;
While ring-doves far in summer woods
Pour out wild, impassioned tune.
I'll think of thee when evening steals
In dusky Innings from the sky,
And length ming shadows dim and gray
Along the forest edges lie:
Of thee when Ewes first star comes out
And blossoms in the blue above
For memory then to me will bring
Our trysting-place in hours of love!
I'll think of thee when DER Won lake
The moon hangs like silver bow
And beams upon each wrinkled wave
AS did thy dark eyes, long ago.!
OF thee when every gentle wind
Comes in soft whispers DER its breast
To tell Of summers beau eous flowers,
And lull each signing wave 10 rest.
I'll think of thee when music swells
In the lone night-bird's plaintive cry;
And wait thee from my spirits realm
The hearts deep homage on sigh:
OF thee when Night is million decked
With stars like blossoms blown above,
On aobih He angetS a0aLk at e0e
And tell each other of their love!
I'll think of thee when stars fold up
Tlelr wings in yon far summer cline
AS no;seless as the music of
Some broken-hearted poets rhyme:
OF thee, my Allie, when no more
Hopes flowers within my heart are she'd
When every joy that now is bright,
And every dream of bliss has fed
III think of thee when spring time hangs
Her drupery DER the naked woods,
And winds and waters Wild and free,
Go shouting through their soliudes:
or thee when golden summer comes
With dew-soft whispers everywhere;
With breath TO lift the auburn locks
That droop around thy forehead fair.
I'll think of thee, my Linden FlOuer,
And keep fore er each burning VOW
Of thee should high ambition fail
To wreath Il laurel round my brow
I'll think of thee thy sweet sweet name
Lives in each thought and dream Away;
Thou art my star-my chosen flower
My Moon at Nght-my Sun by Day

Jim, what are you doing on the hoor?"
"Why, sir have had u shockl'
"a shock ?"
"Yes, sir"
"What kind of a shock?"
"Why, sir" said the lad, gasping, "one of your
subscribers came in during your absence-said he
owed for two years subscription it, and also
paid another year in advance
"In advance!' gasped the editor, nearly as much
overcome as his lone apprentice.
"Yes, sir, and it has produced such an effect upon
me, that have been perfectly helpless ever since.'
And, well you may, Jim. But, get up; if you
survive this, you are safe, there is little prospect Of
another such catastrophe in this Office"
