4 Onward, ever onward, art thou borne, frail
creature of earth, stopping here and thereto
gather few flowers that seem as fair as
their fragrance is sweet, kDeeling to worship
/ each star that shone with such brilliancy
above your childbood's horizon; happy amid
the belief that you had bat to choose, and
happiness would fling her choicest smiles at
your feet, or weave her fairest garlands to
Irvine around your brow. Happy indeed!
while buoyed up with anticipations. the in
tensity Of whose joy the highest flights of
imagination would IN vain essay to describe,
as one loving kiss was imprinted upon your
lips; one tender smile has met you half way;
and q band Of snowy gbiteness is clasped
lovingly in thine!
Happy dreamer! with scarcely so much
as summer cloud to cast a shadow upon
thy young hearts musings, or darken the
road that leads thee to the spot where SO
many memories are reposing-so many buds
of promise are about to bloom. Kind friend,
you did not then think that cruel destiny
was wearing frown DER head; that your
song of gladness was only requiem of
sorrow in disguise, that would come upon
you when unprepared to withstand the
shock, as with stricken heart you uttered
the words: . @ ls..t.l .r..s
"Would we had never met" ..t.;
The world is wide-its charms are many,
but its realities few, except it be those that
write our names in the vast book Of mis-
fortune, that volume that is filed with
tears which have stolen forth from the
"spirits still land" Countless as the sands
that glitter so brightly upon the sea-shore
below or the stars which twinkle nightly in
the sky above, are the thoughts that live
within US while pausing to contemplate
some beautifulobject Of earth thoughts that
bring their moments of agony, Others their
hours Of sweet Commitment; but all in a
m easure have fallen victim to some hope
less affection-and left to play upon broken
string Ike ono of Scotia's bards: -s,re

Once you were all expectancy that could
not, ,Uould not, admit of doubt, encouraged
by confidiug glances and kind words. Once
you were content in loving; and resting
your future upon slender thread, believed |
it was too strong to break; but the vision
vanished like hose which die as summer |
roses fade; and as you saw tho frail fabric of
your own creative fancy, wreck upon the
waves of the past, the words rang out upon
the air: --,..
''oh once thy memory seemed to me
Like an enchanted isle, = 49,
That sprung from life's unrufled sea
To blossom in ting smile;
For Hope then moored her fairy bark |,
Beside that phantam shore,
But soon fed DER the waters dark |,
To anchor there-nO more"
And yet we will hope in spite of hope
ess love, gazing with increased fondness in
he face we know can never be ours; listen
ng to the voice which, however friendly its
ones to all at friendships altar, is yet des-
ined to give its sweetest accents to some
,ther swain than our admiring self. We are
oath to leave the phantom shore''-but
1ursing wish which can never be realized,
nan tarries long at the shrine of his dolatry
Singing as the ivy to the oak, long after its
turdy :boughs have been shattered by the
torn, while any are left of whom he can

otto act of the President. The first and !
