AN OLD-YEAR SONG

AS through the forest, dis lrrayed
BY chill November, late | strayed,
A lonely minstrel Of The wood
Was singing 10 the solitude;
Loved thy music, thus ! said,
When DER thy perch the leaves were spread
Sweet was the song, but sweeter now
Thy carol on the leaficss bOugh.
Sing, little bird thy note Shall cheer
The sadness OF the dying year.
When Yi0ietS pranked the turf with blue
And morning flied their cups with dew,
Thy sender voice with ripping triu
The budding April bowers would ill:
Nor pass its Joyous tones away
When April Ounded into May;
Thy life snail hail 40 second dawn,
Sing, little bird! the Spring is gone.
And 1 remember-wella-day
Thy iuii-b!own summer roundelay,
As When behind u broidertd screen
Some holy maiden sung unseen;
VITA answe. ing notes the woodland runG,
AMI every tree-top found a tongue.
iiow deep the shade the grove now fair!
Sing, little bird! the woods are bare
But now the Summers chant is done
Ana mute the choral antipnon;
Ine birds have .elt the sniyrIing pines
i" Ills among tine t.e.iiscd vines,
.. fan the air with scented plumcs
Amid 1hc lOye-sick orange blooms,
Ana thou art here dione-a!One-

The snow has capped yon distant hill,
II morn the running brook was still.
From driven herd, Tie clouds that rise
AIe Ike tile smoke OF saciiHcc,
Ire long tine fiolCn sou Shall mock
The piuwSiiare changed to stubborn rock,
The brawiing streams shall soon be dumb
sing, little CiTd: the frosts have come.

he shrieks for his sister-his only
sister, the twin of his soul-weeping
for him in distant native land!

There was hush in that princely
parlor, broken only by what seemed
smothered sob from some manly
bosom. The bride stood yet upright
with quivering lip and tears stealing
to the outward edge of her lashes.
Her beautiful arm had lost it's ten
sion and the glass, with its troubled
red waves, came slowly towards the
range OF her vision. She spoke
again; every lip was mute. Her
voice was low and faint, yet awfully
distinct; she still fixed her sorrowful
glance upon the wine-cup.

white moon is coming up, and her
beams play gently on his forehead.
