- ''ThouWflt Come No More'I ~ +
If the world has its joyful meetings, Its
happy gatherings, and its welcome Of de-
light, il is also bureened with many pain
ful partings-many sad fsrewellsl partings
which Time cannot eoothe, or aIght we
know on earth can ever partially assuage.
as'the checks grow pale with anguish, and
the eye grows dim in tears.
Throb on thou weary, troubled heart, is
all the consolation, all the response that
rises above the surface of cold and I'M
charitable world, that cherishes so little in
terest-harbor no feeling of regret; espec-
tally if thine has been and still remains an
humble station in life that was clogged by
poverty-there where thy all could be seen
at a glance in the little cottage by the way
side. or the rough. log cabin 10 some tan
gied wild wood, that seemed so cherries
without and so gloomy within!
Never morei-'tis a very brief sentence
words which by themselves have no direct
application; but link them with an attach
ment that has faded away with other
bright dreams that buoyed you up in the
golden promise light of time" and you
hold 10 your hand the with cred stem that
once so smiipgly supported each rose tint
ed leaf; bid them speak to you without
disguise. and you have history you will
try in vain to comprehend! You cannot
evade its truth, or turn indifferently away,
for in Of IL
ways weave together a romance or a mere
work of fiction however tragic its early con-
ception appeared; but you are forced to con-
front a reality-a narrative that portrays
the struggles and the trials of a broken
heartl Readerl each day in your expert
ence. the image of a friend, or the chosen
few from the millions of earth who tread
the same path, cherish the same sympathies,
and live for the same objects, will return to
gladden. your waking hours. Have any
little differences sprung up?-any misunder-
standings existed? any misgivings dawned?
If such has been the lesson you have
learned; and you have parted with the
of those bright summer days,
fearing no responsive welcome would ever
greet you again, then can you realize what
it is to exclaim; "Fhou wilt come no more"!
Have you had, (but why ask the question
for who has notO your beau ideal of earthly
happiness that was EN- bodied in a pair of
loving eyes, the gentle beaming Of a wom-
ans smile?-And believing that the "course
Of true love never did run smooth" have

found twas made in vain? that you were
The dupe of your own fancy.-a mere tool
10 while away the evening hours in a light
and frivolous conversation, that had for its
usual theme, the latest report andmost omi-
aous disclosures from Madam Rumors prolific

any who embarked upon the same journey
and secured the prize; but who little
dreamed that ere many months had glided |

way of a seemingly boundless devotion,
IN affection that withers when adversely
comes;
"When they between whose severed souls, |,
Once in close union tied,
A gulf is set, current rolls,
Forever to divide" s
Truly, as expressed by gifted author
SIS: "Alas! that there should come such
ours to every trusting heart! hours when,
q the torture of its grief. the soul beats its
arth- bound wings against its life letters
ike a wild mountain bird encircled within
'rison baTs-moments in which we feel
urselves afoat upon wild sea of destiny,
nd all the world standing calmly by un-
eeding, while we sink beneath the cold
'aves" Many things indeed will come
ack to us no more! We know not how
oDg we may bask in the friendship that
dearest priced; or how soon the ties
'hich bind US to this sublunary sphere
lay be rent asunder; or how suddenly we
lay be forced to utter the last Good Bye!
Farewell it hath a sombre tone,
The lip is slow to take it,
1t seemeth like the willows moan,
When autumn winds awake it;
1t seemeth like the distant sea
Round some lone islet signing,
And yet thou say'st it unto me,
And wait'st for my replying"
