OUR CHILDHOOD.
Br GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

'Tis ad--yet sweet-so listen,
To the soft winds gentle swell.
And think we hear the music
Our childhood knew 50 well
To gaze out on the even
AnG The boundless fields air,
And feel again our boyish wish
To toam like angels there.
There are many dreams Of gIadness
Thas cling around the past
And from the tomb Of feeling
Old thoughts come trobbing fast
The forms We love so dearly,
In happy days now gone,
The beautiful aud lovely,
So 4alr to look upon.
Those bsight and lovely maidens
Who seemed 90 formed for bliss,
Too glerionsly and too heavenly
For such world as this!
Whose soft dark eyes seemed swimming
In d sea Of liquid light,
And whose locks Of gold were streaming
Ger 1roWs - sunny bright.
Whose smiles were like the sunshine
In the spring time Of the year
Like the cllangeful gieams Of April
They followed every tear
They have passed like hope away
All their loveliness has fed
On many a heart is moaning
That they are with the dead
And yst fhe thought is saddening
To nluse on such as they
Aad ieel thai all the beautiful
Are passing fast away!
That tic fair ones whom we leave,
Grow 10 each loving breast,
Like tandrils OF the clinging vine,
Then pefished where they rest.
And FaEeyve but think Of thee
Intha soft. and gentle spring,
When the trees are waving o'er5as,
And The flowers are blossoming I!
For we know that winters coming
Wish bis cold and stormy sky
And the glorious beauty around us

MEMORY.


Leaves lave fallen, flowers have faded,
Days have gone and years have fed;
Joy once sweet are now departed,
Friends ale numbered with the dead;
Memory fingers yet, unbroken,
While the heart-strings freely play.
Bringing thoughts Of words once spoken;
But the loved ones-where are they2
Some have strayed where Fancy lured then
Following up some project wild;
Some have gone where duty led them,
To Instruct the pagan child;
eome have bowed at Msmmon's alter;
Some are tossed ON Fashions sea;
Many sink beneath the shadow
OF the deadly Upas tree.
One is sleeping in valley,
Near the rivers winding shore,
Where the trees wave gently GER him,
Signing sadly-nevermore.
Winds moan sweetiy 'mong tall grass;
Leaves bend lowly round bis head;
Guide the dear departed spirit,
In it's wanderings through the dead.
All that's ief! is hut shadow,
All that's past is but dream;
All to come is but a phantom,
Beck ming on the world unseen.

AT SEA.


The devout, truthful and chaste poem annexed
3 rom the ARaHyic Hontkiy for January, and is
t'ributed to the pen of Longfeiiow =
The night is made for cooling shade,
For silence and for sleep;
And when | was child, laid
Ally hand upon my breast, and prayed,
And sank to slumber deep;
Childlike as then, lie tonight,
And watch my lonely cabin light.
Each movement of the swaying lamp
Shows how the vessel reels;
As DER her deck the pillows tramp,
And all her timbers strain and cramp
With every shock she feels,
II starts and shudder,, while it burns,
And in its hinged socket turns.
Now swinging slow, and slanting low.
i: almost level lies;
And yet know, while to and fro
watch the seeming pendule go
With restless fall and rise,
The steady shaft is stu upright,
Poising its little globe of light.
o hand of God! o lamp of peace!
Q promise Of my soul =
Though weak. and tossed, and Ill at ease,
Amid the roar of smiling seas,
The ships convulsive roll,
/ own, with love and tender awe,
You perfect type Of faith and law;
a heavenly trust my spirit calms;
My soul is filed with light
The ocean sings his solemn psalms,
The wild winds chant: Cross my palms,
Happy as if, tonight,
Under the cottage-roof, again
heard the soothing summer-rain.
