HE1RTS THAT HUNGER.

Some hearts go hnngering thro the world
And never find the love they seek;
Some lips with pride or scorn arc curled
To hide the pain they may not speak.
The eye may flash, the mouth may smile,
The voice in gladdest mirtb may thrill,
And yet beneath them all the while
The hungry heart be piuing still.
These know their, doom, and walk their
way
With level steps and steadfast eyes,
Nor strive with fate, nor weep nor pray
While Others, not so sadly wise,
Arc Knocked by phautoms evermore,
And lured by scemings of delight,
Fair to the eye, but at tho core
Holding but bitter dust and blight
l see them gaze from wistfnl eyes,
mark their sign on fading cheeks;
hear them breathe in smothered signs,
And note the grief that never speaks;
For them no might redfesses wrong,
No eye with pity Is impaired.
o: misconstrued, and suffering long,
0, hearts that hunger thro' the world.
For You does life's dull desert hold
No fountain shade, no date grove fair,
Nor gush of waters clear and cold,
But sandy reaches wide and bare.
Tho foot may fail, the soul may faint,
And weigh to earth the weary frame,
Yet still 20 mako no weak complaint,
And speak no word of grief or blame.
o, eager eyes which gaze afar,
0. arms which clasp the empty air!
Not all unmarked your SORROWS are,
Not all unpitied your despair.
Smile, patient lips so proudly dumb
When lfc's frail tent at last is furled,
Yonr glorious recompensc shall come,
Q, hearts that hunger thro' the world.

n" play is donc--thc rurtain drops,
slow falling SO The promptcr's bell;
moment vet the actor stpls,
And looks around to say farewell
II Is an irksomc word and task;
And. when he's laughed and said hissay
lie shows. as he removes the mask,
A face that's anything but gay.
One word. ere yet the evening ends
Let's close it with parting rhyme;
And pledge a hand to all young friends,
As fills a merry Christmas time;
On life's wide scene You, too, have parts
That fate ere long shall bid you play:
Good night with honest, gentle hearts
A kindly greeting go away!
Good night I'd say the gricfs, the joys
just limited in this mimic page,
The triumphs and defeats of boys,
Are but repeated in orr age;
I'd say your woes were not less keen,
Your hopes more vain, than those of men,
Yonr pangs or pleasures of fifteen
At forty-five played DER again.
I'd say we suffer and we strive
Not less nor more as men than boys
With grzzled boards at forty-fve,
% AS erst at twelve in corduroys;
and if, in time of sacred youth,
We learned at home to love and pray,
Pray heaven that early love and truth
May never wholly pass away.
And in the world, as in the school,
I'd say how fate may change and shift
Tho prize be sometimes with the fool,
The race not always to the swift;
The strong may yield, the good may fall,
The great man be vulgar clown,
The knave be lifted over ALL.
The kind cast pitilessly down.
Who knows the inscrutable design2
Blessed be F1e who took and gave!
Why should your mother, Charles, not
mine,
BE weeping at her darling's graves
We bow to heaven that wilfcd it so,
That darby rules the fate of all,
That sends the respite or the blow,
That's free to give or to recall
This crowns his feast with wine and wit
Who brought him to that mirth and
state?
His bctters, see, below him sit,
Or hunger hopeless at the gate.
Who bade the mud from Dives wheel
To spuin the rags of Lazarus?
Come, brother in that dust we'll knell
Confessing heaven that ruled it thus,
So each shall mourn, in lifc's advance,
Dear hopes, dear friends, untimely killed,
Shall grieve for many forfeit chance,
And longing passion unfulfilled.
Amen !-whatever fate be sent,
Pray God the heart may kindly glow,
Although the head with cares be bent,
And whitened with the Winter snow.
Come wealth or want, come good or ill,
Let young or old accept their part,
And bow before the awful will,
And bear it with an honest heart.
Who misses, or who wins the prize
Go, lose or conquer as you can;
But if you fail, or if you rise,
BE each, pray God, q gentleman.
A gentleman, or old or young.
Dear kindly with my humble lays;
The sacred chorus first was sung
Upon the first of Christmas days;
The sheperds heard it overhead
The joyful angels raised it then;
Glory to heaven on high, it said,
And peace on earth to gentle men
My song, save this, is little worth;
lay tho weary pen aside,
And wish you health, and love and mirth,
As fits the solemn Christmas-tide
AS fits the holy Christmas birth,
BE this, good friends, our carol still
BE peace on earth, be peace on earth,
70 mon of gentle will.

Although I'd snatch the enchanted kiss
And fill my sonl with perfect bliss
Thy charms would be tho same.
