II h Love That snakes the World Co Round
When Love had kissed fair Beauty's cheek,
And Beauty, waking in su prise,
Turned not away her glAnces meek
From the soft ardor OF his eyes,
Then, heart 20 heart and lip 20 lip,
AwOke that passion pure and bright,
To make the days like moments slip,
To Danish all the shades Of night
And was this ALI Love, Love, Love,
The world was dead until you came,
Dead, cold. inert, below. above,
Till kindled by your generous hame;
You made the very mould to speak,
With tender leaf and lower 70 thrill;
When kisses soft met BeAuty's cheek,
With frohc life termed vale and hill.

Like one in letter firmly bound,

LOVE POEMS ON THE PERIOD.
Cause and Effect.

The red red lips OF his darling are parting
To whisper OF love that We never resign;
The hard, hard foot OF her father is starting
To strike the lover like springing mine.
Oh, youth has its pleasures we cannot recover,
And manhood it's bliss that we cannot restore;
But age in surprising lsnguishing lover
Has ecstasy equal, and probably more.

A Rising Tide.
The wess Wind clears tAo morning,
The sea shines silver gray:
The night vas long, but fresh and slroag
AWakes the breezy day;
Like smoke that lies acrOss the lift,
The clouds are faint and thin;
And near and BAR, along the bar,
The tide comes creeping In.
The dreams Of midnight showed me

A stony shore, that knew no mora

The morning. broke, the uision fed
With drawn new hopes begins;
The light ii sweet, and al my feet

Oser the hare, black boulders
The ocean sseeps and sWells;
o waters wide, he come 10 hide
Dull stones and empty shells,
hear the foods hft up their voice
With lo0d, triumphant din;
Sad dreams, departures, donbting heart,
The tide comes toaming In.

The season wore on, but Miss Laxing-

Peonle began to hint that it would not come
off after All. Lady Carraway grew anxious,
and other fond matrons took heart again,
end cherished fond hopes that the prize Of

was in no way disquieted. Her admirer
was perhaps less attentive, but his was not

She met him constantly, and could not fairly
accuse him Of any definite neglect; she and
LADY Carraway were often seen upon the

much to treasure her ladyship, for Byng had

number of people who looked upon the
match merely as an occasion for german

costumes.
The day came. Lady Carrsway and her
charge had been instructed to be on the
ground in good time for lunch, so they made
their appearance shortly after l o'clock:
The drag was tenanted only by Carbury and
few male friends. Byng as the Captain
explained, was watching the game from the

he was to be sent for as soon as his fair
friends had arrived. A fooiman was ac-
