POETRY.

THE NIGHT OUR DAZZLING DIED.
Heavily creaked the groaning willow,
As we watched the lonely pillow,
Listening to the far-off billow-
The night our darling died
And though we pray'd God to relieve her,
To his heaven of love receive her;
Still we sorely grudged to give her
The night our darling died!
The murky clouds were sweeping Ger us,
And the winds took up chorus,
Like mourner wailing for US
.'a. The night our darling died!
And we sadly bent above her,
And we prayed, so we did love her:
"Spare her till the storm is over!!''
The night our darling died!
Then turned my eyes to Heaven,
And the rolling clouds were riven,
And bright new STIR was given,
The night our darling died!
And heard unearthly noises,
Like a band of spirit voices,
When a clay-freed soul rejoices-
~ The night our darling died!
When her ftful sleep was broken,
And, though not a word was spoken,
Still I kns,o it was token,
The night our darling died!
For turned her face was winter,
And the lifting clouds were lighter,
And the starry beams grew brighter
For then our child had died!

YOU KISSED MEL

You kissed me my head had dropped low on
your breast,
With feeling of shelter and infinite rest
While he'holy emotion thy tongue dared not
speak,
Flushed up like fame from my heart to my
cheek.
Your arms held me fast oh, your arms we're
so bold;
Heart beat against heart in that passionate
hold.
Your gances seemed drawing my soul through
my eyes,
As the sun draws the mist from the seas to the
skies.
And your lips clung to mine till I prayed in
my bliss
They might never unclasp from that roptur.
Gus kiss
1t was then that my heart, and my breath, and
my will,
In delirious joy for the moment stood still.
Life had for me, then, no temptations, no
charms;
No vista Of pleasures outside of your arms;
And were this instant an angel possessed
OF the glory and peace that are given to the
best,
1 would fling my white robes unrepiningly
down
And tear from my forehead its beautiful crown
70 nestle once more in that haven of rest
With your lips upon mine, and my head OF
your breast

sideration Of Monsieur's gentlemanly
behavior, be as mild and lenient as
possible in doing our duty, and grant
Monsieur five minutes for saying his
prayers, "
"You have then resolved to murder
me, " gasped l.
Monsieur uses a very hard term,
but we will let that pass. You have
five minutes yet to live, BY this
watch.
The villain then held my watch to
to the light, and | felt that my min-
utes were numbered, and secretly be-
gan to pray for the salvation of my
soul, believing that could not save
my body.
A death.like silence now reigned
in that gloomy apartment for some
time, and then one of the villains
bent down and lifted trap-door, and
from the pit below issued a noisome
smell, as it might bel sof putrid bodies
l beheld my intended grave and
shuddered and looked aghast.
But why stand there and die like a
dog, without a single attempt to
escape. AT the worst it could be but
death, and there was a bare possibili,
ty / might get away, | fixed my eye
on the door that opened on tile Stair
way, and with a single, sudden bound
reached it, but found it fast locked.
Then, as the hands Of the rufians
seized me with murderous intent, I
uttered a wild shrek, the door was
burst in with a loud crash, and in a
moment the room was filed with gen
d'armes, | saw that l was saved and
tainted and fell
The four masks, the fair decoy, and
some two or three others concerned
in that murderous den, were all Sc
} cured that night, and / subsequently
! had the pleasure Of testifying against
them, aud seeing them all condemned
to the galleys for life.
The place had been suspected for
some time, and the deeoy marked. On
that night detective had secretly
} followed the girl and myself and after
t ascertaining whittier she had con-
Quoted me, had. hastened to the place,
: The delay of the rufians in their
, murderous designs had been just
0 sufficient to save me. I scarcely
) need add that l never again volun-
teered to accompany a distressed
! damsel on a secret expedition while
: remained in Paris.
