very romantic name for the hero Of ro-
nance, but what's in name p of the End

left at the house of the late ex. President
John Tyler. An aged relative of the fami-
ly and Miss Tyler, the Presidents daugh-
ter-a lady young, good looking and with
al strongly rebellious-were the occupants
of the mansion, which, should say, en-
paSsdnt, was ransackt to some extent by
our soldiers before guard was stationed
to protect it. The army, in course of time,
passed away, and the sick man languished
in the luxurious rooms Of his fair young
host, in whose breast pity and sympathy
soon emerged into that stronger passion
which rules the court, the camp, the grove
Forgotten was the hated blue of the Fed
eral soldier; forgotten the Vandal work
which still left its traces behind; forgotten
the anger with which of yore Virginia's
foeman was wont to inspire all the true %
daughters of that State. She loved the
Yankee, and the young rifleman returned
her love, AZ the novels say. Of course the
next proceeding was matrimony. A min

the bonds of acknowledgements fortunate
in this respect, than the Prototypica! Ro-

Came from sinner or from saint
Cast them in for the fire is faint
The fire is faint, and the frost is strong,
Aud these old letters havo lived too long
How welcome once it matters not,
Their worth away with time has sped,
The love is over, the hope Is dead,
And the old friend has forgot.
Cast them in they're hard to keep,
And will not let ones memory sleep,
For hints of age, and tales of charge
o but the turns Of life are strange
The rid whereof they speak is gone
How bright they came and how dim they
part
These passing ages of the heart,
While life and we wear on.
Cast them in, why should they last,
When the light we read them by Is past
And never again will gild our days.
Uplike a banner goes the blaze
1t is waste paper and nothing more;
Sone have been treasured up for years,
Some ara blotted with heavy tears,
And some our dreams read Ger.
These are sprinkled with many vow,
The love was never as warm snow
Those by trus:y hand were penned =
Woe is me for that friendships end
There goes apsge of boyish rhyme
That was sheet of good advice
We took our own way on thu ice,
And learned the worth of it all in time.
One glossy curl of wavy gold
Was hid in this burning letters fold
'ris long since that golden head grew gray,
Aud the grave where it Tssls is far away
Upon its light the broad fame flashes;
And there they lie, in what all our aims,
Seekings and strivings, hopes and sche mes
Must come to-dust and ashes
FRANCIS Brown.
