CREED.

! believe if should die,
And you should kiss my eyelids when lie,
Cold, dead, and dumb to all the world con-

The folded orbs would open at thy breath,
And from its exile iii the Isles Of death
Life would come gladly back along my
veins.

And you upon my fifeless heart Shout tread,
Not knowing what the poor clod CHANGED
to be,
1t would find sudden pulse beneath the
touch
OF hin, it ever loved in life so much,
And throb again warm, tender, true to
i believe if on my grave,
Hidden in woody 1eeps or by The wave,
Your eyes should drop some warm tears OF
regret,
From every salty seed of your dear grief
Some fair sweet blossom would leap into
leaf
To prove death could not mako my love
forget.
tbel;eve, il should fade
Into those mystic realms where light is
made,
aud you should long once moro my face to
see,
/ would come forth upon the hills of night,
And gather stars like faggots, till thy
sight,
Led by their beacon blaze, fell full On me
] believe my faith in thee.
Strong as my life, so nobly placed to be
/ would as soon expect to see the sun
Fab like dead king from his height sub
lime,
His glory stricken from the throne of Time,
AS thee unworth the worship thou hast
won.
believe who has not loved,
Hath half the treasure of his life improved;
Like one who with the grape within his
grasp,
Drops it with all its crimson juice .un-
And all its luscious sweetness left UNI

Out from his careless and unheeding clasp
/ believe love, pure and true,
Is to the soui a sweet immortal dew
That gems life's petals in its hours of dusk
The waiting angels see and recognize
The rich Crown Jewel, Love of Paradise,
When life fall from as like withered husk.

Unfurl your bright petals,
And laugh at the dew.

With your delicate boquets of snow;
Start up, little thorns, with your promise
of death,
Keep guard on the treasure below!

The fruit trees must scatter;
They've done their bright duty,
So what does it matter?

AS they fiutter away,
To see little berries
Peep out at the day!

Pour your golden enchantment on all

TIE VOICE OF .N.iYURE.

How graceful was that Grecian creed
Which taught that tongues of old
Dwell in the mountain and the mead,
Aud where the torrent relied;
And that in times of sacred fear,
With sweet, mysterious means,
They spoke aloud, while some pale seer
Interpreted their tones.
And lady, why should we not deem
That in each echoing hill,
Aud sounding wood and dancing stream,
A language fingers still ?
No lovelier scenes round Delphi spread
Than round the stretch divine;
Nor Grecian maid bent brighter head
BY haunted stream than thine.
Morn, noon and eye-bird, beam and breeze,
Here blend to bless thy day;
May portion of their memories
Be ever round thy way!
Sweet waters for the weary bark
Through parching seas that sails;
Friends may grow false and fortune dark,
But Nature never fails.

THE BALLAD OF d BAKER.


THE BALLAD OF d BAKER.
Joe Brown, he was baker-man,
A baker-man was Joe;
He ne'er was known to want for aught,
Aud yet he kneaded dough.
And he was rugged, hearty, too,
Aud had long life leased,
And all because he rose up with
His early rising yeast.
To never cheat his customers
This man was early taught;
And yet his ioayes were always light,
His pie-crust rather short
And he was gen'rous hearted, too,
And kind unto the needy,
And neat and tasty in his dress,
Although his cakes were seedy.
With him none dared to handy Jokes,
Whenever he sought the marts,
For well they knew his repartees
Wero sharper than his tarts
And while I say his skill was great
In getting up q muffin,
His pastry filled the mouths of all,
And needs no farther putin.
'ris said he was temperance man;
Ifso, can't tell why
He mixed with wheat and cornmeal, too,
A trife of the rye!
When age at last o'ertook the man,
His frame grew bent and sore,
And, like tho cake he used to bake,
His head WAS frosted DER
and when he died all Uourned his loss,
With no scctariau bias,
For lie hail been u friend to all,
A good man and pic-ous.
HIs EPfTiPH.
Beneath this crust of np-heaved earth
A wellbred baker lies;
And like the rolls he used to mould,
We hope at last he'll rise.
