Over the mountains
And over the waves,
Under the fountains
And under the graves
Under the floods that are deepest
Which Neptune obey;
Over therocks that are stcepest
Love will find out the way.
Where there is no place
For the glow worm to lie;
Where. there is no space
For receipt of fly.
Where the midge dares not venture
Lest herself fast she lay
lrlove come he will enter
And soon find out his way.
You may esteem him
A child for his might;
Or you may deem HIM
A coward from his flight;
But if she whom love doth honor
Be concealed from the day,
Set a thousand guards upon her,
Love will fin4 out the way.
Some think to lose him,
BY having him confined;
And some do suppose him,
Poor thing, t. be blind;
BIT if ne'er so close you wall him,
DO the best that you may,
Blind love, if SO yc call him,

a wretched, betrayed, torsaken wife!
She looked at her watch. The train
had not gone yet,-if she could only
reach the depot in time. Her first thought
was to send for a carriage, but she in
stantly dismissed it; it would occasion
delay, she would get there sooner to
walk, and there was no time to lose.
Returning to her room, she. flung rather
than put on her shawl and bonnet, and
paying no attention to the remonstrances
and entreaties Of poor Mrs Green, who
believed that her charge had suddenly
become bereft Of her senses, rushed from
the house.
Impelled by sense Of duty, the
worthy woman prepared to follow her; !;
but her clumsy and ponderous build
made her movements none of the spry-
est, and by the time she got out into. the
