Thou of the sunny head.
With lilies garlauded.
And bosom fairer than the blown sea-
foam;
o Spring, in what waste desert dost
| thou stay,
Whilst leaves await thy presence TO
unfold?
The branches of the lime with frost
are gray,
And all imprisoned is the erocus' gold.
| Come, sweet Enchantress, come.
Though, in the sombre West,
Thy star hath lit his crest
| Pale PhosphOr, fronting full the wither-

Thy yiolets are Sepultured in snow,
Thy daises twinkle never in the sun,
Rnde winds throughout the ruined forest
blow,
And silent is the doves melodious
moan;
Enchantress, hasten soon.
White are the country ways,
And white are the tangled maze,
Loved of the oxlip and the creeping
thyme;
Bare shakes the poplar on the sullen
ridge
Cold glooms the spectral mill above
the flood;
Hoarse torrents stream beneath the
ivied bridge,
And lightnings strike the darkness of
the wood:
FnchantresS, bless our cline.
No bloom of dewy morn,
No freshly-hlossOmed thorn,
Gladdens the importuningS of sac eyes;
The day wastes drearily, through cloud
and sleet;
Over the watered meadows and stark
wales
The night comes down impetuous and
fleet,
And ships and cities shiyer in the gales:
O fair EnchantreSs, rise.
Arise, and bring with thee
The rathe bud for the tree,
The healing sunshine for the trampied
grass;
Loose tendrils for the bOughs which
bless the caves,
And shield the swallows in the rainy
hours,
The pendant flames which the laburnum
heaves,
And faint scents for the wind-stirred
lilac flowers.
Enchantress, breathe and pass.
Men knew, and kissed, of old,
Thy garments glittering fold
Thy radiant fo01print on the mead or.
waste;
Earth kindled at thine advent-alters
And ringingS ymbals bade the hearths
be gay;
But now. in sunless sOlitudeS iEurneG,
Thou leav'st the world unto reluctant

The Bitter End.


A passenger by the Australia tells
of married pair appearing on
shipb0ard at the moment the gang
wAv plank was heing pulled in at the
dock in New York. A state-roon
had been procured in some mystic
rious manner, and some huge trunks
followed, but the owners came last,
ana LII6 Cs.PVs.s.
zled to find that the name on the
passenger list and the occupants Of
the state room were not the same.
After the ship, however, lost sight of
land, the captain was taken into the
confidence of the gentleman and
told of an elopement. The groom
was a man about forty years OF age,
a foreigner and count, with coal
black mnstache on his face and a
castle on the Rhine. He had the
hard, handsome face common to
Mississippi gamblers, and dressed
himself in the same gorgeous style.
The bride, without being handsome,
had large, winning blue eyes, that, in
their helpless, contiling sort of ex
preston, won the sympathy OF all
on board Tne Count treated his
bride with elaborate courtesy, al
ways getting out of the way when
the poor thing suffered from sea-
sickness and after expressing his
concern for madam in the choicest
phrase. He expressed himself en-
nuied terribly with the monotony OF
the sea, and tried hard to inveigle
certain gentlemen into 8 game of
chance, only to pass the time, how
ever. He was strongly averse to
gambling. At the end of the voyage
the pair disspp ei, and the two
fueitiyes we're heard of no more un-
til several months after, when the
Australia was on her way back to
New York, when the kind-hearted
CAPTAIN learned that woman, travel
ing alone, was very i'll in the steer
age. Seeking her with the ships
Dhysician, he was astonished to find
in the sick steerage passenger the
Counts bride of few months be-
fore. He vacated his state room to
the poor woman in her faded finery,
and little by little be learned her
story. 1t was the old, old story OF
offended parents and a cruel bus
I band, who, finding a helpless wife,
without money, on his hands, first
ohuaed and then deserted her. She
had parted with the few bits OF jew
elry left her by the brute, and was
now getting back as best she could
ruined and broken hearted, to her
old home. The ship was approach
iuo New York. The weary passen-
gers collected on deck saw the poor
creature, with little remaining of her
former self but the wIstful, con-
fidlng look over her large blue
eyes, that from out the pale, sunken
& face seemed larger than ever.
Those who watched her more closely
saw at times light CLEAN in them.
as if for q second her poor, numbed
4 faculties were unhinged and crazy.
The vessel, aided by the wind and
steam, was dashing on, nearing every
second the entrance to the bay, when
suddenly the startled passengers
heard a wild scream. saw flash oi
white garments. splash, and then
the wild cry of some one overheard
The steamer was stopped, the boats
lowered, and after an hours search
the body of the poor woman was re-
I covered and brought on board.
