AN ALLEeoRY.

In huge oak tree in forest grand,
In the heart OF baimly Southern land,
A pair Of mated lovers dwelt;
Aud iher c.. ed and called, and they often sang
I'll the corr, Tors OF The Old woods rang:
Their hlithesOme spirits seemed to melt
With all the happiness they felt
They sang and chirped in their innocent glee,
OF the peaceful home IN the huge oak tree
And the tiny ones in the nest
Till glisiening snake erawled up one day
'TC where the tender nesting lay,
Yandal unlimited guest,
With terror in his creeping quest
OF naughty, wise aud consequential mien,
High up the tree a gray owl sat serene;
Sat safe upon a sturdy limb
Aud saw the anguish of the parent pair,
With cold and careless, pity-barren stare;
So self possessed, and stern, and grim,
Their misery IS naught to him.
A busy, brown-clad, hardy little bee,
Among the nov ers. underneath the tree,
Beheld the thrilling scene By chance,
And rising on his honey laden wing,
Drove whizxing at the hoTrld. Kissing thing,
Till, Writhing from The brown bees lance,
Death checked the monsters dread advance
IT'S often thus IN human life,
That loWly ones in hard, unequel strife,
Are left to SORROWS armed to kill,
While pond'rOus wisdom chooses not 10 see;
Denies a neighbours woes. until
An humber brother stays the i'll
