LINES.

Hail royal empress of starry realm!
Hail in thy lovliness, o queen of Night! 7sas
Ihave drank in thy glories, till they .whelm
My soul with wild, mysterious delight
But thou art sinking now-and as write,
sThouart approaching that far, western shore,
Where two twin stars, magniiicently bright,
Thy younger sisters, have gone down before.
And as thou disappearest, lovely round
Thy loving form, is flung soft white cloud
Like transparent veil; thou sinkest down -
As fair maiden, in her snowy shroud,
Sinks to her slumbers at the hour of rcst:--
Unknowing thou has left one heart unblest p

Adieu There's now nc use in taking:
Hopes bright star has ceased to shine;
Love sighted finds relief in walking.
Hence, I'd better now be gwine. -
Ihave loved you long and dearly
Loved you with strength sublirne,-
But at last see too clearly f-
That you loved me nary time an 7f,t
Tell me not that we may still be f-sf
In love platonic rich; ....,s..,. - -
Don't for hang me if will be. -,
Not by no means, ary sich
Hearts don't need that sort of tonic
When they're broken ike jug;
Unrequitted love is chronic,
And won't yield to such drug. 80
She who spurns the love offer, .tE4i
And rejects the love send, - All
Plays the part of heartless scof5ef si4
When she says she'll be my friend. sEvs
Friendship may be bought with money, sssasi

But, Ito you it may seem funny,) = . ~
Love is bartered but for love.

the world who need their care. They
should not wait for the cry of distress
to reach them in their luxurious par

From that moment Lawton Crosby
was changed mani He entered with
zeal upon the acquisition of a position
at the bar. With fidelity to his late
determination he toiled on unceasing-
ly. He step by step came up to the
great minds that were every where
around him; he even passed many.
Then political distinction awaited him.
Onward and upward he strobe, with
the full bent intellect that once shaped,
could not pause. In the hours of his
leisure he found rich reward in the
society of Eva. He had won from her
a confession, that crowned his happi-
ness.
Five years after! Among the Rep
resentatives to our National Congress
in Washington, was the Hon. Lawton

all that vast assemblage Of worth and
wisdom, was more fitted for the station
than our once wavering lover. And

A wise caution should be shown, however in the

There is one thing which is not explained. The sal
