When eyes are beaming

When tears are streaming
From l!»eir crystal cell,
When hands are linked that dread to part,
And heart is met by throbbing heart,
Oh! bitter, bitter is the smart
Of them that bid farewell!
When hope is chidden,

When fettered by a viewless chain,
We turn and gaze, and turn again,
Oh ! death were mercy to the pain
Of them that bid farewell!

had excited so intense an interest, departed upon
their journey at the dead hour ofthe night.
The father of this unfortunate female evinced
for her the deepest and most lender feelings.
Why should bo not. She was, and ‘ *
