Ny grandmother's home-that dear little spot
In memory still, still Isee,
That old rustic cottage will meier be forgot,
In dear old Kentucky, far away.
The place was called "old Blue Spring Grove"-
Twas quiet rural country seat.
Where kindred dwelt In peace and love.
With homellke comforts all replete.
In the lovely garden Just across the way.
Where luscious fruits and flowers grew,
Was grassy plot where my grandfather lay,
Who had passed away long years ago.
The spring that dubbed beneath the hill,
Shaded by the spreading old beech tree,
In fond ecoilections my heart will fill
As long as life remains in me.
Under this brush was pretty retreat.
Where Sang the little wren and the lark;
There friends and lovers used to meet
And cut their names upon the bark.
TWAS there spent Elany childhood hours
Joyous times In the golden ago
Gathering beechnuts and sweet wild flowers:
In fancy now gather them DER.
There grandmother often sat to knit
Shielded from the summers sunny rays;
There mother and father used to sit
To pass the time in their counting days.
The scene Is changed-they've passed away.
And are sleeping In that halowed spot;
So life must end-so must my lay

LINES FROM SORROWS BARD.

To ANELEH.
Though would that should never
Waaen more the soothing shell;
Though feel that woe forever
Quenched the fame loved so well.
Though the harp fonGly cherished
Molders in a dull decay;
Though ambitions hopes are perished-
Childhood's day-dream passed away.
Hark! Above the couch Of sadness.
Echoed from harp unknown.
Steals loving strain of gladness,
Breathing joy IN every tone.
Yea, though loneley and forsaken-
Sunk in grief that spurns control,
There is still one harp to waken
Notes coIgenial to my soul.
On the midnight OF my sorrow
Seems to break a brighter dawn:
And as CLOVIS hopeful morrow,
Rings a voice to cheer me on.
Distant muse OF consolation.
Thou hast wrought thy nobler will
Woke again to sweet vibration
Strings deemed forever still.
Soft upon my saddened SAUNDERS
Came the echo OF thy strain;
And the magic OF thy numbers
Wrought what others tried In vain.
Yet. oh friend thyself deceive not,
ALI of wee cannot depart;
III moments time believe not
Thou caust heal broken hearth
have nursed deeper sorrow
Than can find vent in speech,
And which seorns relief TO borrow
From the heights The muse can reach
Pride has torn what love united
Friendship breathes a broken vow;
Scared aud racked and lone and blighted,
JOY and peace forsake me now.
But Though happiness be shrouded.
There is still hope on high
There is stiil a star unclouded
III mist ortune's gloomy sky.
Though trace not thy resemblance
Midst the friends who still are mine.
Long, oh long, shall loved remembrance
Cherish that sweet strain of thineI
And IL happy fame await me
(Foolsh dream, must allow)-
II her raptures e'er elate me
And her laurels twiue my brow,
Then, oh then, from glory's station.
On the heights Of destiny,
Shall the bard of desolation
Turn with gratitude to thee,
