I TWILIGHT.
It is the quiet hour of feeling,
| Now the busy day is past,
And the twilight shandows, stealing
O'er the world, their mantle cast:
Now, the spirit, worn and saddened,
Which the cares of day had bowed.
By the gentle influence gladdened,
Forth emerges from the cloud:
While. on Memory's magic pages.
Rise Our long-lost joys to light.
Like shadowy forms of other ages,
From the oblivious breast of Night;
And the loved and lost revisit
Our fond hearts, their place of yore,
Till we long, with them, to inherit
Realms of bliss. to part, no more.
Now, we search for hidden treasure,
Buried in the vault of Time,
Thought the abyrinth-pathway measures
And restores them to their prime.
Then, with eager anxious feeling,
Secret things we would unfold,
And, its awful tomb unsealing,
Wish the doubtful Future told:
Long to know the drops Of sorrow.
Mingled with our draught of life,
What the unknown, untried Tomorrow,
Hath of care and toll and strife;
Or the winged hours of pleasure
That may cross our weary way,
Ere our destined course we measure,
And return to kindred clay.
Morning hath its songs of gladness;
Sultry noon, its fsrvid glare;
Evening hours. their gentle sadness;
Night, its dreams and rest from care:
But the pensive Twilightever,
Gives its own sweet fancies birth,
Waking visions that may never,
Know reality on earth.

When over yon purple mountain
Loves star light its silver-fame,
| stand by the sparkling fountain,
And inter woman's fame;
Ispeak in low, soft whisper,
For not the night air may hear
The name of the gentle woman
Ny innermost soul holds dear
There's river vide between us,
A torrent dark and deep.
And l only swell its biackncss
By the bitter tears weep;
But, ahl If there be an echo
Along its lonely shore.
How oft must its knocking whisper
Utter that loved name Ger.
Though many faults have blotted
Ny record of life with blame;
Though the angels have wept o'er nd
Tears of sorrow and shame.
Yet I know one page is spotless,
Shining snd white as fame,
Where they have written in pity
My truth to that wornan's name:

! i can't return it, said Fitzroy
shortly. There is no end to th'
imposition that would be practicet
upon me, if allow everybody t.
come back and claim that they hat
not received the right change
Here Uncle H. nry, who had lis
tened with indignation to this scene
interfered.

dedly, 4 saw you hand this lady hel
change. and you passed her but two
quarters
Fitzroy glanced at the speaker.
1t has not been mentioned that
Uncle Henry, the better to conceal
his idnetity, was coarsely dressed,
aud accordingly Fitzroy set him
down as person of no consequence.
He therefore answered haughtily:
4 shall need more than your
word, my good sir. How do I know
but you are in league
Good morning, SIR said Uncle
Henry, abruptly. You may regret
this gratuitous insult. Madam, will
you allow me word with your
The woman followed him out OF
the shop, while Fitzroy, in no very
pleasant mood, muttered about the
sairs of these beggars..
'Madam,' said Uncle Henry, when
they we're in the street, will you ac-
cept from me this piece of gold,
which will in a measure atone for
for your loss? Nay, no thanks
What have witnessed has been
worth more to me than this small
sum-
At the end Of a month Edward
Fitzroy came to receive Julia DEN
hams answer to bis suit. He felt
quite confident of success-a conh-
Gence which was somewhat dimln-
ished by the coldness with which
she returned bis greeting
4 must decline the honor OF your
alliance she said, in answer to his
urgent proposal.
But what can have wrought this
change in your be asked, bis eoun'
tenance changing.
i must refer you to my uncle
Uncle Henry, who entered the
room Immediately after, explained
in a few words in what way they had
gained an unfayorable impression OF
his character. He concluded by
saying:-sThe man who is obsequious
to the rich and impertinent to the
poor, shall not with my consent
marry one in whom ! feel an inter-
est.
A year afterwards Julia formed
an alIiauce with one more worthy OF
her, and never had cause to regret
heruncle s test.
