THE HAWTHORN soUGH.

A boy, oft In the lonely garden close,
Upon bank OF Man he laid his brow
Under the hawthorn. For q keepsake now
Long after, in the city, where there glows
At wallis bend, in sudden fires and SHOWS,
The chasing color of a hawthorn bough,
His heart beats, nor can memory diss low
Fresh tears and salutation ere she goe-
For love of that old time untouched of doom
When bya branch as fair he dreamed and
prayed,
Fain would he kiss instead this showery bloom
And leave life's report beneath its shade
OF doubt not solved, of passion not o'ercome.
OF the great thirst for justice unallayed.

GRIEF.

The first great grief that comes into a life
Seems hardest, for the heart has known no
pain,
But when each day brings greater care and
strife,
And life endures, the heart must hope again.
Then looking back to pain from which we
shrank
To stony ways we wake ed with bleeding feet,
So bitter now the cup that what we drank
In other days to US would now seem sweet
