I^klnj tt d t?Ttiaj dreaaos and the cap I
An > d*tha°pretty ,TW F f* l ' l * f»th«r brought
mo from tb« fair.
Haro, within my parents’ dwalling, whera I
rant'd my early year*,
I am fitting with a (welling, indicating.
ooaingteara, 4 .
Net of gladness, nor of sadness, bat of
(baling undfined ;
Who can tell the cation* working* that
affect the human mind ?
On the wall, above the mantle, In a massive
gilded frame—
Shining in the taper brilliance like the
rainbow after rain
Are the portrait* of my parent*, taken In
their youth and bloom,
And they teem to amile upon mo in this
taper lighted room.
By a crimson cord impended, tipp’d with
tassels work’d with gold,
I* an oral-shapea’d likeness of an infant
one year old;
Whose it is I don’t remember —is it atrange
I do not know
Os those little ehornb feature* three and
twenty year* ago ?
Sitting, knitting by the table, in a cushion’d
rooking ohair,
Listening to her aged companion reading
sacred Scriptures there,
Is my mother; and tho wrinkles on her
forehead, once so dear,
Tell me in their silent language—earth’s
departing, heaven’s near.
And in yonder cemetery, ’neath the willow's
solemn shade,
Mother and her aged oompanion in the dust
will soon be laid,
And I’ll write upon their grave-stone, with
a trembling hand I know,
“ Mother, father, gone to heaven ! I am
mourning here below !”
Tester eve I slumber’d sweetly In the eosy
attic room,
Where in childhood I have sported many a
summer afternoon ;
And I wander’d in my dreamings through
the woods and piuey groves,
O’er the hills and o’er the meadows, where
the bright Savannah flows.
Then to St. Paul’s church l wended, at the
tap of Sabbath bell,
Bow’d before the holy altar, heard the
organ’s pealing swell;
Sang the sacred songs of Zion, bow’d my
youthful head in prayer,
Banished every sinful feeling, found my
precious Saviour there.
To the school house, rude constructed, joy
fully I moved along,
Willing said my morning lessons, sang the
exercising song;
Heeded every admonition, gladly heard my
teacher say :
“ School’s dismiss’d! my little scholars now
may dance, or sing, or play !”
Ere the son had kiss’d the mountain’s and
announced her slow decline,
Or the purple shades of evening mark’d the
day’s dividing line,
To my happy home I hastened, full of joy
as heart could be,
And I learn’d my morrow’s lessons on my
darling mother’s knee.
Then my fancy wing’d its travels to Vir
ginia’s splendid vide,
la whore bosom, near a fountain, dwells my
darling Laura Dale;
Darling Laura, peerless Laura! sacred is
our Lover’s vow,
And a wreath of orange blossoms soon will
crown thy lily brow.
And I dream'd fill feather’d songsters hailed
the beauties of the morn,
Breaking through tho evening shadows,
gilded mountain, hill, and lawn,
Mingling with their silver lustre, crimson
hue and golden beam,
Till the dewy breast of nature like a jewel’d
ocean seem’d.
Now I bow mo at the altar, at tbe family
altar here,
Whilst my father’s supplications reach the
listening Saviour’s car:
11 God of mercy ! God of goodness 1 let Thy
choicest blessings run
From tho flowing fount of heaven on our
only living son 1”
Here I am just where I started four and
twenty years ago,
Sitting by tho little cradle that oft rock’d
me to and (ro,
Looking at the tiny dresses and the cap I
used to wear,
And the pretty ivory rattle father brought
me from the fair.
