Dottrp < Warieties,
THERE ARE MOMENTS.
BY J. T. S. SULLIVAN.

There are some moments when the heart expands Warns into life with feelings new and strong; Bursting its cords and loosening all the bands, That held it in captivity so long. The world in these bright moments is forgot; It's forms and ceremonies; and the sway Society has so long wielded 0 ef its lot,
 AS by some magic spell, now melts away. These feelings are of nature-and they swell In new born freedom, with resstless might; Glylng to life some enchanting spell.
 Flashing and past like meteors of the night. We ponder over some imagin'd woe, Thinking that all we lov'd Is fled and gone, And with it feel the tear unbidden flow. And thus, too when the gay and frolc life Of thoughtless circles satiates the heart, Now freed, at last, from this seductive strife, We feel ourselves from all thing apart. Who has not known such moments of delight? And felt the heart wth gushing pulse to grow Like spring tide waters meath the glaciers height Swelling beneath the summers genial glow? At length these icy fetters melt away,
 The waters burst from out their frozen cell, And, pouring onward in the light of day,
 Seek other streams their quick ming course t
 swell
 And thus the heart, in icy letters bound,
 Will often melt at some bright kindling ray; Some long forgotten passion, voice or sound, And bursting forth in tears must find its way.
