The moon-beam kissed the snowflake that
sparkled meath lis ray,
And the night breeze seemed to whisper, Hy-
mems ienderesi lay;
The bright and beauteous stars above, caught
up The joyous note,
And echoed back the glad refrain, as if in
seeming sport;
The old oaks nodded their hoary crests, like
giants under spell,
As the dulcet strains from Hymen's harp rose
with yolnpnous swell"
A change come DER my happy dream, l saw a
cFOWu pass uyj
The moonlight shone on blushng cheek, and
sparkied u the eye;
The youthful maid on her lovers arm, looked
up in his face with smile,
And with gentle accents soft and low. said,

The maiden Of mnturer years looked Heaven

And a sweetly smile O 'er spread her face, as she
said, oh dear how far -
But. o. just then, with incantious tread, her
foot slipped on The snow,
And instead Of seeing bright stars above, she
saw bright stars below.
The risky widow, with mincing pace, was
foremost in the van,
As she stared round, but did not see, no, not
one single man;
Next follow'd mamma, with anxious care.

As she saw her: dropping eycld qniver, and

Now, lastly came the flint old man, with tot

As he bent bis eyes pom the ground and pom

OF the dear aud cherished maiden who, at the
altar, with him knet,
Asthrongh the vale of life be gazed, her sainted
presence felt;
Far oui into the spirit land, his thoughts were
wandering now,
AS he slowly drew his big bandanna and wiped
his aged brow.
Another change came DER my dream, | saw a
distant light,
That glimmered DER The hilltop, like nm ignis
fafuus, bright.
Hushed were the boisterous sounds of mirth
the night was beautifully sill,
AS with heightened pulse the motley crowd
climbed up the slippery hill;
subdued and mystic silence reigued, yet each
was true as STEEL
While some collied, some Jacksiided, others
were seen to kteeI;
No chimes from the old church steeple rang
upon theair,
To proclaim The solemn ceremony about to
take place there;
No 6 soft, sweet fall ofmusic" greeted the lis

As with qnickened and impatient step, the

And the goodiy priest, with courteous mien

The blushing girl, with modest mien, knelt at

And by her side in manly pride, knelt Thomas

The priest. in earnest tones, repeats from the
nissal's secret lore,
And told them of that solemn rite, that Christ
performed of yore
Their hands were clasped, their heads bent low,
and their hearts were whispering love,
