Jerusalem-Ry Bishop Heber.

Reft of thy sons-amid thy foes forlorn,
Mourn, widowed Queen, forgotten Sion, mourn
Is this thy site sad city-ths thy throne,
Where the wild desert rears its craggy stone
While suns uubest their angry lustre fling.
And way-worn pilgrims seek thy scanty spring:
Where now thy pomp, which Kings with envy
viewed.
Where now Thy might which all those dings sub
bued?
No martial myrads muster in thy gate.
No suppliant nations in thy temple wait,
No prophet lords, thy glittering courts among,
Wake the fun Tyre, and swell the tide of song;
But lawess force and meagre want are there.
And the quick darting eye of restless fear;
While cold Oblivion, mid thy ruins laid.
Folds his dark wing beneath thy ivy shade.
From the New York Day Rock.
Dream-Land,
AY JOHN DELACY.
Is life a dark pathway
Bcclouded with sorrow,
without JOY for to-day,
Without hope for tomorrow,
And no dream of bliss?
A regret for the Past
For the Present tear,
And the Future o'ercast
With doubling and fear
Is life such as this.
Each soul of the gifted
Is lord of world
Whose curtain upliftcd,
Whose canopy fured,
Doth Heaven display
There. sunlight forever
Doth reign in its power;
There, cloud-shadow never
Its darkness shall lower
O'er that Kingdom Of Day.

WOMAN'S LOVE.

When man is waxing frail.
And his hand is thin and weak,
And his limbs are parched and pale,
And wan and white his cheek;
Oh, then doth woman prove
Her constancy and love.
She sitteth by his chair.
And holds his feeble hand;
She watcheth ever there,
His wants to understand,
His yet unspoken viii

She leads him when the moon

And all things. save the tune

And when he goes a0s there,
To feed on breath and bloom,
She brings the posy rare
Into his darkened room;
And meath his weary head
The pillow smooth doth spread.
Until the hour when death
His lamp of life doth dim,
She never wearieth,
She never leaveth him:
Still near him night and day,
She meets his eye alway.
And when his trials DER.
And the turf is on his breast,
Deep in her bosom's core
Lie sorrows uneXprest;
Her tears. her sighs are weak
Her settled grief to speak.
And though there may arise
Balm for the spirits pain;
And though her quiet eyes
May sometimes smile again;
Still, still she must regret,
She never can forget

MANS LOVE.


When woman's eye grows dull,
And her cheek paletb,
When fades the beautiful,
Then mans love fadeth;
He sits not beside her chair.
Clasps not her fingers,
Twines not the damp hair
That DER her brow Ringers.
He comes but moment in,
Though her eye lightcns.
Though her check, pale and thin.
Feverishly brightens;
He stays but moment near,
When that flush fadeth,
Though true affections tear
Her soft eyelid shadeth.
He goes from her chamber straight
Into life's jostle,
He meets at the very gate
Business and hustle;
lie thinks not of her within,
Silently sighing,
lie forgets in that noisy din
That she is dyingi
And when her heart is still,
What though he mourneth,
Soon from his sorrow chill
Wcaried he turneth-
Soon DER her buried head
Memorys light setteth,
And the true hearted head
Thus man iQrgettethl
