As he thinks of his love in her long white shroud* For the fragrant sighs of her perfumed breath ’ , • Were kissed from her lips by his rival—Death. Light as a bird’s were her springing feet, Her heart as joyous—her song as sweet — Yet never again shall that heart be stirred With its glad, wild song, like singing bird ; Never again shall the strains be sung, That in sweetness dropped from her silver tongue ; The music is over, and Death’s cold dart Hath broke the spell of that free, glad heart. Oft at eve, when the breeze is still, And the moon floats up the distant hill, As I wander alone mid the summer bowers, And wreathe ray locks with the sweet wild flowers, I will think of the time when she lingered there, With her wild blue eyes, and her long fair hair; I will treasure her name in ray bosom’sicore— But my heart is sad —I can sing no more. From Eliza Cook's Journal. Diamond Dust. Genius, like the sun upon the dial, gives to the human heart both its shadow and its light. Pride may sometimes be a useful spring board to the aspiring soul, but it is much more frequently a destructive stumbling-block. Men of the world hold that it is impossible to do a disinterested action, except from an interested motive; for the sake of admiration, if for no grosser, more tangible gain. Doubt less they are also convinced, that, when the sun is showering light from the sky, he is only 4 standing there to be stared at. etei Our safely as eulogists lies among our com mendations of the dead. Great men lose somewhat of their greatness by being near us ; ordinary men gain much. A letter timely writ is a rivit to the chain of affection; and a letter untimely delayed, is as ' rust to the soldier. As gold which he cannot spend will make no n| man rich, so knowledge which he cannot apply 1 will make no man wise.
