Where we Parted.
LORD BYRON

LORD BYRON.
When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken hearted,
To sever for years.
Pale grew thy cheek, and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly the hour foretOld
Sorrow to this
The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow;
1t felt like the warning
OF what l feel now.
Thy vows are all broken.
And light is thy fame,
/ hear thy name spoken
And share in its shame. ~
They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear.
A shudder comes o'er me,
Why vert thou SO DEAR?
They know not 1 know thee
Who know thee too well;
Long, long shall 1 rue thee
Too deeply to tell.

Of the naval apprentice system. The

almost monopolized the service from

shape Of promises made by the de-
partment to augment 'he enlistment
Of boys, were not of q nature to prove
feasible. Then again, the system
was too hastily planned and executed
to be complete in all respects. At
