expression of unutterable love. The

Juliet never forgot the looks, the
tones, the graceful beauty Of the youth
full stranger, although few hours after
that one short interview he left for West
Point, and she saw him no more while
at school.
But when at seventeen she made her
debut, belle and an hciress at the first
ball of the season, Lieutenant George
Wilton was her favored attendant
through the evening. AS for him, he
was perfectly charmed with her beauty,
her wit, her wild and brilliant gaiety,
and after month of devoted gallantry
on his part, and of graceful, but some
what tyrannical coquetry on hers, their
engagement was announced to the fash
ionable world Of Philadelphia, where
they resided.

have known you had not your mother
directed me to your room. But look at
me well and guess!' And parting from
her lovely face the soft light tresses that
clustered around it, she bent her blue
eyes upon our heroine with smile of
enchanting tenderness.
''Can it be Lucy Grey?"
"Ah, do you recognize at last your
little pet at SCHOOL, Well then let me
sit at your feet, as in old times, and tell
me of this weary illness, which has paled
your cheek and dimmed your eye, yet

THE EXILES SONG.
BY CT. HOFFMAN.


The song the song that once could move me,
In life's glad day,
The song of her who used to love me,
Far, far away
1t makes my heart fonder, fonder-
Wildly obey
TIE spell that wins each thought to wander
Far, far away
Once more upon my native river,
The moOubeamI play
Once more the ripples shine as ever,
Far, far away.
But ah the friends who smiled around me,
Where, where are they?
Where the secret spell that early bound me,
Far, far away s.z--

Too bright to stay
OF al that music fain had brought me,

Of that glad day,
Ere all that frightened hfe's flesh morning,
Was far, far away.

PRIDE AND PENITENCE
BY FRANCIS s. osGooD.

Love took up the glass of life, and turned 1t in
his glowing hands:
Even moment lightly shaken ran itself in golden
sands:
Love took up the harp Of lfe,-and smote on all
its chords with might;
Smote the chord of self that trembling passed
in music out of sight.

and joy, both wife and husband hasten

the fire. Lucy, for it was our old friend
Lucy Grey, who had now become the
beloved, and therefore happy wife of Ju-
liet's former lover, Lucy Wilton gently
removed the hood of the almost exhaust
ed stranger, and seating herself, as in
their school-days, at her feet, looked up

was fearfully altered, but oh how lovely
still
A faint smile of angelic purity and ten
9erness played in the large, clear, dark
eyes, and the pale, but perfectly trans
parent cheek was luminous with that ra-
diant beauty Of the soul, which is seldom
if ever, seen through the vivid hues of
health.
Il have come,'' she said in a scarcely
audible voice, ''to see and rejoice in your
happiness before 1 die. Place your
sweet babe in my arms, dear Lucy, for
am too weak to lift it." Lucy's tears
fell fast amid the light soft curls of the
infant, as she placed it on the knee of
her dying friend, and George knelt
down by her side with feeling of af-
fectionate reverence. Once more was
that frail hand laid in blessing upon his
head; but ere the benediction was con-
cluded, the hand dropped ifelcss at her
side; the pale lips moved inaudibly, and
the pious prayer began on earth, was
finished at the mercy seat of Heaven!
