To Ruth Simple.

Saw. Ruth. where dost thou dwell ,
In some fairy grot or dell :
Art thou of fairy land,
Or of the MUSES. band
Art thou of the tunefu! Nine.
Or the Graces 50 divine
Or of earths daughters iair,
Gifted with genius rare.
With skill to touch the Tyre
And rouse poetic fire
Oh. are those strains OF earth,
Or of celestial birth.
Which with deep thrilling pathos,
Are floating all around us,
Der all our senses stealing,
with n. claste and softcned feeling!
Sure. tones of such sublimity
Do SAVIOR OF divinity!
Yet e. IN thou hast shown regard,
To humble rustic bard
Ne',r before was bard so honored;
Little thought | when ] pondered
On the subject Of my song,
While the numbers rolled along,
It would find such appreciation
With any fair one in creation
Far from my expectation
Was such undeservcd laudation.
Thanks for your condescension,
A fameless bard thus to mention
And the u,sought compensation
Of your fiattering commentator.
Could ever bard, in proudcst station,
Much less one of no distinction,
In the highest aspiration
OF his Hottest ambition,
Even in imagination,
Think to find such exaltation,
In song so sweet and courteous,
From lady fair and beauteous?
Fair Ruth, ! do not 'bide
Meath the shade of eastern side, y
Nor by Cedar's crystal tide,
But upon the prairie wide;
Nor is my shadow tall
When it's cast upon 1.-THE wall. y
l love my guardian we'll
More than this may not tell.
Yet may make this one admission:
I'm seldom out without permission.
Sometime I've been around,
Yet the MUSES. 'cr had found,
But for the verse with genius glowing
And the matches smile and dimple
So becoming to Ruth Simple

honor of an introduction, in the Leader

A MOTHERS LOVE.
april 3, 1858

What sweet poetry is contained in
those three little words. Is there a
sentence to be found in any language
that is more replete with sentiment,
beauty, grace, or finish. A mothers
love! How noble I! How self-sacri-
ficing How unceasing are her efforts
in guiding Alright the footsteps of her
children What privation will she
not endure what perils will she not
encounter for the sake Of her "lovcd
ones y From our earliest infancy it
is our mother who watches over us
with untiring devotion who notes
every change in our looks, both in
sickness and health, and, with loving
arms twined around us, bids us nestle
close, close, mp to her breast. And
oh ! with what perfect confidence we
nestle there Fearing nothing, car
ing nothing, only to be folded more
closely and feel the warm pressure Of
her lips upon our cheeks. How our
hearts bound beneath the lovcful CLAN
ces of her soul-lit eyes, as she bends
them upon us bcaming with a light so
pure and holy! With what delight
does she listen to our childish prattle,
and observe each winning grace
How fondly she gazes upon us, and
what glorious future she paints fol-
us Then, as the thought comes that
as we advance in years, she may be
taken from US, and we be left to the
cold charities of this world, her heart
felt prayer ascends to the Throne of
Grace, bcseeching Him to guide and
direct our steps, so that we may be
prepared to meet her in a brighter
and better world. Sorrows may come
upon us, friends may forsake us, and
the world present not one cheering
ray, yet will our mother cling to us
with love so abiding that her cheer
ing tones and loving words make us
forget the worlds rude and bitter
tests. Never, on this earth, can we
find a friend so steadfast, and one in
whom we can repose such perfect con,
tidence as our mother How holy is a
mothers love!
