from Baltimore lady:
BALTIMORE, June II, 1858.

Here is another young lady's experience
which we find credited to Graham, but which,
five are not mistaken was written by Mrs.
Browning:
First time he gently took this hand ofmine,
And showered upon it countless kisses dear,
That falling died among my sparkling rings,
In sweet extravaganza
Next time he decked
My brow witha bright wreath Of kisses warm.
That shone upon its whiteness brighter far
Than dazzling gem-aprouder crown than Ger
Did grace the brow of royalty.
BE softly laid upon my halfshut eyes,
Which burned beneath his fervent kiss. It fell
Like heavens dew upon the blushing bud,
And thrilled my inmost frame.
The next-oh, love!
As 'twere emboldcucd by success he then
Went boldly to my lips, and, ohl that was
The height of happiness. I, happy, gazed
Into his deep dark eye aud felt els,,ee, seel
That y OWL eloquence, and clo-
And scarce did breathe f6r fear fear ny ~ , breath Would
The Elysian dream of bliss. Ny soul was freed
From earth, and all things earthly, and did rise
On lightest pinions, and, with JOY enwrapped,
Iraversed the beauteous fields Of Paradise,
My senses. overPowered did reel with Joy,
And then felt that it was good to live
Sentimental young women would be very apt
to think it "was good to live" under such cir
cumstances.
