MAIDEN, FALSE MAIDEN, I CAN LOVE
THEE NO MORE.
BT LAXSDON.
My hopes have all vanishel like mist in tlie sun,
And stormy tlie day of my sorrow begun;
My pleasures have faded ; Ambition is vain,
And dark is my pathway, o’er life's troublous main ;
Thus desolate, weary, I sttnd at death’s door:
Maiden, false maiden, I can love thee no more.
The pale moon yon streamlet is kissing to-night,
And my cottage is crowned with garlands of light,
But how drearily, loom, like storms on the sea.
The day of the future, tlie future for me !
I see me now standing alone on the shore:
Maiden, false maiden, I can love thee no more,
You asked me to love thee; I gave thee my heart,
And swore from its idol it never should part.
I loved thee, how truly ! I loved thee alone ;
Too willing to bow a mute serf at thy throne;
But sad the return for affection 1 bore :
Maiden, false maiden, I can love thee no more.
I cannot forget thee ; but think not, that love
Can ever a wounded, a broken heart move!
Remember, ’tis hatred, as Hades as deep;
A hatred, that flourishing, knows not to sleep;
But burning, consumeth the heart to the core :
Maiden, false maiden, I can love tliee no more.
Farewell, then, thou false one, and hope not to scan
The feelings that sway the pure bosom of man:
Go revel in bliss, blit if troubles assail,
And thou, that destroyeth, beneath them shall quail;
Remember, when round thee, dark tempests roar:
Maiden, false maiden, I can love thee no more.
HOW I FELL IN LOVE.
BY O. N. E.
I fell in love when I was passing a sum
mer at Saratoga. She, the woman I ador
ed, I mean, was fair enough to plead my
excuse for the truth. She had soft fair
hair which she wore in the most glossy of
braids, wound round a small, exquisitely
shaped head ; she had large black eyes,
making a most bewitching contrast to the
light hair, and a clear pale complexion,
white as snow ; black eyebrows and lashes
completed the piquant contrast. —She was
neither tall nor petite —just about the size
that is the most tempting for the caresses
of a tall man —just tall enough for the
head to lay confidingly against my shirt
front, and the lips to he within kissable
distance by a light bend of my head.
“Mr. Graham, allow me to introduce
you to my cousin, who joined our party
this morning/’
“Thank you for the offer.” And I bent
my arm to accommodate the tiny hand of
a saucy little brunette, with whom I had
been carrying on a desperate flirtation for
three weeks.
“What is her name Miss Stanly ?” I in
quired.
“Elizabeth Stanley ; hut as she is fair
and slender, we call her Lilly.”
Lilly Stanley ! it was a name to fall in
love with. I only took one look, and my
heart was gone. Distinctly felt the void
it left, when it sprang from under my vest
into Miss Stanley’s possession. I don’t
know what she wore, but her fair face and
slender throat rose above clouds of soft
white lace. There were pearls here and
there ; and, altogether, if I had fallen at
her feet, I should have only acted out my
sensations. It broke in upon this raptur
ous dream to hear my first flame, Miss
Stanley, say.
“The Redowa. lam engaged to Capt
Hawley, and here he comes.”
Did I ask her to dance ? lam sure I
don’t know. I recollect only that, five
minutes later we were gliding lazily through
a slow, dreamy Redowa, and I held a tiny
white-gloved hand in mine, and found my
idol was not the spiritual form she looked,
by clasping my arm round a substantial
waist—a slender, graceful waist—still
made of flesh and blood, likewise silk,
whalebone and lace.
I wished to have gone home next day ;
but I could not do it. Leave Saratoga !
Leave the paradise that contained my an
gel l I could not endure the idea. My
partner wrote the most appalling letter,
threatening bankruptcy, ruin, all sorts of
honors, if I did not appear immediately
in the counting-room ; but I wrote sav
agely back that ruin was Heaven compar
ed to abseuce from ,and there I stop
ped, because the carriage waited for me to
take my angel to ride.
Dick pondered over the blank, hut con
sidered I must be engaged in some specu
lation and wrote warning letters according
ly.
Pink silk and roses, blue silk and for
get-me-nots, lillies of the valley in a white
bonnet, and other attractions too numer
ous to meution, succeeded the white lace ;
and as my senses came slowly back to me,
and I had eyes for details, I was charmed
with the neatness of every dress, from the
glossy braids to the tiny slipper. The
silks were deliciously fresh ; the lace al
ways snowy-white ; the skirts and stock
ings, sometimes displayed by the raising of
a dress, were always so pure, so fine, and
smooth* that every day found me more
deeply in love.
Parting time came at last. Miss Stan
ley went to visit her aunt in Boston—l
found out that we both lived in Philadel
phia—and I returned to the counting
house and my disconsolate partner.
A month ot seperation fanned the flame
the month of intercourse ha I lighted in
my heart. The face was in all my dreams
now with drooping lillies falling from the
soft braids, now set in the fine lace of the
most bewitching blue bonnet, now wreath
ed with pale pink rose buds, now under the
shadows of the drooping white plumes of
her riding-hat.
Walking down Walnut street one love
ly September morning, I saw a lady step
into the cars. One glance at the neatly
gloved hand sent the blood to my heart;
the little gaiter made it give a sudden
bound, and a fair face made it palpitate
till I nearly choked.
She was at home. I should hear again
the soft, low voice, whose every modula
tion told of her angelic temper. I should
see the sweet smile that always greeted me,
and again be in Elysium. Ah, me !
I could not call until the following mor
ning, then I left Dick groaning over neg
lected Western customers, and went home,
donned my white suit of linen, with a nar
row, black necktie, smoothed my finest shirt
over my broad chest, drew on my most in
tense pair of pale huff-kid, set a becom
ing straw hat over nicely arranged curls,
and sallied forth.
I ran lightly up the steps of 1617
street and rang the hell, gave my card to
the girl who opened the door, and went in
to the parlor. It was in a semi-dark state,
fashionable in the warm months, and com
ing in from the glaring sunlight—l could
see nothing—l groped my way to a seat.
“I say I won’t.”
A shrill, harsh voice in the next room
gave forth this sentence with an angry
vehemence that started me.
A low, sweet voice answered :
“Lilly, my dear.
“Your dear ! I don’t want to he coax
ed,” answered the first voice. “I will go,
and there’s the end of it.”
“But you have been away all summer,
and Jennie has not left home at all.”
“Jennie ! What does a gieat ugly, red
faced thing like her want at a watering
place ?”
“She is your sister.”
“Well, let her wait till I’am married,
and then she can rule here. I have set
my heart on going to aunt Nell’s and I’am
going.
The folding doors were thrown violently
back, and I saw into the next room.
Upon the sofa lay a pale, delicate-look
ing lady, evidently an invalid. Near her
stood a tall, rather ugly girl, \vith a high
color, probably “Jennie,” but the most
prominent figure stood in the opening shd
had made by throwing back the doors.—
A faded calico wrapper torn under both
arms, fell in uneven folds to the floor, n,
rent here and there making an ungraceful
festoon ; the pretty feet were thrust into
old slippers, and the slockings Were—were
well, .the word will out—they were dirty
stockings cn a lady ? Faugh P The
light hair I had so much admired was gone,
except a little knot at the back of hfer
head, which w\as tumbled, and had a dead,
dry look ; the glossy braids probably re
posed upon her dressing glass. She did,
not see me as I sat in a dark corner ; and
crossing the room, she hit her foot on a
stool.
“Confound the thing 1” was her lady
like exclamation, and a vicious kick sent
the stool spinning across the floor.
I rose. “Good morning Miss Stan
ley.”
A scream, a dash for the door, darkhesS
came again over the parlor, and I was
alone.
I fell out of love as rapidly as I had fal
len into it, and took my white suit and
blasted hopes out of the front door.
Dick is delighted, vows I am as thor
ough a business man as himself, and I have
almost resolved to retain him as my only
partner through life.
The Orange Groves of Florida
After a while, when our Northern “blue
law” sanctimonious friends of the fan
atical portion of Satan’s subjects, become
thoroughly convinced that it is Unpleasant
as well as unprofitable to wage a war, dic
tated by iniquity, against the Southern
people of America, who alone have the true
landmarks of Christianity and free govern
ment, we will publish a very excellent
article, by Rev. R. Abbey, suggested by a
visit to the Orange Groves in December,
1858. Our friends farther North need not
feel much surprise to learn that we have
fine oranges in this section every month of
the year, and if any of our cotemporieft
should feel the want of acidity of language
at any time, a visit to our beautiful groves,
with a little tasting, will supply the de
ficiency, though just at this time, artificial
means are not, in demand for Ancient
Rascality (Beunett) and the whole of the
“blue nose” clan cause us all to prove con
clusively that scribblers have a temper of
their own, peculiarly fitted for emergen
cies. But enough of this.
We have the sour or Seville, and the’
bitter-sweet oranges, growing wild a few
miles from our town, and it is considered
profitable to transplant the bitter-sweet, •
and engraft the sweet orange on it;
Mr. W. Edwards of this place has i*’
number of fine trees and has written sever
al very instructive articles on orange cul- *
ture, which we will also publish, we hope
in time for the planting season.
It would do well, we think, to plant
numerous groves along the different rail-’
roads in the State, so as to have the con
veniences necessary to make shipments
profitable. Indeed, there is no reason id”
the world why Florida should not furnish 1
Savannah and Charleston, the interior
Georgia, Carolinas, and portions of other 1
States with oranges. We hope the wise ‘
will have an eye to this important matter* 1 *
for money can be made without much la
bor or outlay. From all the information’
we can gather, our opinion is, that thb ill-’
sect which has heretofore proven so ‘disas
trous will make its final disappearance in I *’
a short time. The effect they produce u'|>-
on the wild groves does not amount to ’
much, the oranges there being large'. antF
beautiful, and the hitter sweets delicious.-
