At THE TURN or THE ROAD.

The glory hns passed from the golden-rod's

The purple-husd asters still liDger In bloom;
The birch Is bright yellow, the sumachs arc
red,
The naples like torches aiame overhead.
But what II tie Joy of the summer IL past,
And winters wild herald Is blowing his blast?
For me dull November is sweeter than May,
For my love is its sunshine-she meets mo
to-day!
Will she Gomez VIII the ring-dove return to
her nest2
Will the needle swing back from the east or
the westl
At the stroke of the hour she will be at her
gate;
friend may prove laggard-love never comes
Do sec her afar in the dstance2 Not yet
Too early Too earlyl She could not forget!
When cross the old bridge where the brook
ovcrfowed
She will fash full In sight at the turn Of the
road.
] pass tho low wall whore the Ivy entwines;
i try the brown pathway that leads through
I haste by the boulder that lies in the field.
Where her promise at parting was lovingly
sealed.
Win she come by tho hillside or round
through the wood,
Will she wear her brown dress or her mantle
and hOodi
The minute draws near-but her watch may
go wrong;
My heart will be asking; What keeps her so
long?
Why doubt for n momentp More shame IL
do!
Why question: Why tremble2 Are angels
more true2
She would come to the lover who calls her his
Though she trod In the track Of a whiring
cyclone.
1cros>ed the old bridge ere the minute had
passed
looked; 10! my love stood before me ut last.
Her eyes, how they sparkled, her cheeks, how
they glowed,
As we met, face to face, at the turn of the
road!
