APARTING.

FaN sweet one, we now must part,
The joys we've kn,wn too soon are DER;
Those beauteous eyes, thy cherub smile,
VIII thrill this heart with joy no more.
For many cherries days I've known,
The time would come when we must sever:
| wonId not pine-l wonld not weep,
But well | know Twill be forever.
I've ggazed upon those blooming cheeks,
That frightened with a crimson glow;
Those durk locks, in glossy waves.
That cluster round a brow Of snow.
I've heard the thrilling tones that breathe
Upon the heart 4 strange sweet spell,
And tears are streaming as they speak
That last, lone, trembling word farewell
The dearest, sweetest word-lihe pearls
That sparkle in affections mine,
Is the sweet "Nlercy," spoken when
You wildly pressed my hand in thine.
AS memory treasures up her wealth,
a gliitering gem will shine for thee;
When Fancy rears her splendid halls,
Thy feet shall tread them.ight and free.
We part forever! Alden bright village,
Among whose fowres I've loved to roam;
Alden fair stream whose ripping wave,
Still mumurs by my new made home.
Between us oceans waves may roll.
And many . deep and swelling river;
In other climes III think Of thee
Farewell sweet one-farewell forever.

Etss Dear Ones Mt Home.

Tt,s Dear Dues ut Home.
BY FRANZ CLIFFORD.
I've q little heart at home
Beating warmly, beating purely,
That, wherever may roam,
Shields me by its love securely:
Aud q gentle voice at home,
Such as you would wish, my neighbor,
Greeting me whene'er | come
From days toll and all its labor.
I've q little house, my friend,
Never yexel with care or strife,
Save the sorrows that attend, /
Ever jourpeyiny through life.
All the worlds deceit / see,
Its ambition vain and hollow, ~
Well content if ever we
Our small puth ofloye may follow.
And q little fire at home
Ever warm and ever cherry,
With a gay and glad welcome
10 the wayworn and the weary,
J But this heart is all my own;
You may share the voice and fire
If the wind blow sad and lone,
We will draw the choir up higher.
On the fields may fall the snow,
Gainst our window pancs be beating,
Covering all the plain below
1heu we'll give you earnest greeting.
For we pray the One that sendeth
Blessings On ns as VT roam,
And we pray to him that lendeth
Peace to The dear ones at home.
