more than fifty years: since from
the effects of exposure to a heavy

and happy Duttiug party on the
Allegheny ridges west Of Meadow

Mr.. Slaven were engaged to be
married in a few weeks. On the

saddest ever witnessed in that
vicinity. Miss Isabella Cam pbell,
now Mrs Moses Moore. near Frost,

and gave it TO Mr. Slavtn. This he
treasured for years and finally had
it used in forming the name Laura

A LITTLE RAVEN TREss.
Here is little raven tress
OF soft, unbranded lair.
The all that's left of loyeliness
That once was thought so fair.
And yet, tho time has dimmed its sheen
Tho all besides hath fed,
| hold it here link between
The living and the dead.
Yet from this shining rngiet still
A mournful memory springs
That melts my heart and sends thrill
Through all its trembling strings.
| think of her, the loved, the wept,
Upon whose forehead fair.
For seventeen years Ii e sunshine slept
This raven carl of hair.
Oh, sunny tress! the Joyous brow
" here thou didst lightly wave,
Wi all thy sister tresses now
Lies cold within the grave.
That cheek is of its bloom hereft,
That eye no more is gay;
Of all ner beauties thou art left
solitary ray.
With sorrow, time has passed away,
Since last we fondiy met,
Aud narted-yet IL seems too soon
TO let the heart forget;
Too soon to let that lovely face
From my sad thoughts depart,
And to another give the place
she held wthin.iny heart,
Her memory still within my mind
Retains its sweetest power;
1t is the perfume left behind
TO tell US of the flower.
Each blossom that in moments gone
Bound up this precious curl,
Recalls the form. the look, the tone,
OF that enchanting gil.
Her steps was like All April rain
Ger beds Of violets flung,
Her voice the prelude to strain
Before the song is sung.
Her life WAS like half blown flower,
Closed ere the shades Of even;
Her death the dawn. the blushing hour
That opes the gates of Heaven.
A single tress-how slight thing.
To sway such magic art,
And bid such soft remembrance spring
Like blossoms in the heart,
1t leads me back to days of DID,
J 70 her loved 90 long,
! Whose heart in kindness did unfold,
Loyed truth and hated wrong.
A lonely, shining tress of hair,
TO bid such memories start;
But tears are on its lustre-there
lay it OH my heart.
