ment. the bride gave grand supper 10

A DESERTED GARDEN.

Tangled ivy oFseps and ;wilcs
 Where once bloomed my ladY's flowers. And the twisting wild woodbines
 Weave o'er all their clustering bowers !; And the fruit trees from the wall Droop forgotten and forlsrn, And the rose trees, thick and tall, From their trellis- work are torn. Dewy paths-once velvet smooth For the dainty steps of youth,- Weedy nov, and overgrown With the rank grass all unmown. Here and there, amid confusion, Cleans berry scarlet-hued, And pale bind-weed in profusion By the summer breezes wooed,- Creeps where once verbenas grew. Or the myrtle, lowered so fair, In the warm and scented air; And the speed Rell-deepest blue Shakes it's frail flowers everywhere. So, amid these paths, all haunted By the memory of old flowers, Grow these wildwood blooms undaunted, Through the glowing autumn hours. Ah how long ago it seems
 Since bright faces glowed and smiled In this garden of our dreams,
 Now so desolate and wild They will come again no more, And no time shall e'er restore Golden days and fairy flowers To these wearied hearts of ours.
