pgTlB T E 7. ** The world is full of Poetry—the air Is living with its spirit: and the waves Dance to the music of its melodies, And sparkle in its brightness.” For the Southern Post. Melancholy Breathing*. BY DR. E. M. FENDLETON. Though the rock of my hope is shivered And its fragments are sunk in the wave; Though my feelings have all been delievered To woe—l shall not be its slave.—byron. The gem that my hope had enkindled, With a lustre as bright as the noon ; Is changed and its glory has dwindled To a glimmering taint as the moon. The ray which at first was uncloudod. As skies in a clear summer day ; Is hid and its beauty enshrouded Beneath the dark gloom of dismay. The bud that was open at morning Is seared—and its charms have all fled, And the leaflets which were its adorning Has shrouded its form with the dead. Oh ! could I have saved it from dying Before it had sank to its rest, Pd raised it from where it was lying And clasped it again to my breast. But all my fond hopes have been blighted, By the cold and the merciless blast; And vows which were faithfully plighted Are shattered and broken at last. I am left with a vestage of sorrow, To prey on my desolate heart; Till the dawn of another to-morrow, Cause spirit and body to part. ’Tis this that cheers up my sad feelings, ’Mid the gloom of the pitiless night; It comes with the halm of its healings To shed on my pathway a light, f Though faint he the dawn of its gleamings, And feeble its power to save ; It tells me my sorrowful dreamings Shall be lost in the sleep of the grave. Warrenton, Georgia. LINES Suggested by a story entitled the “ Convict and his Wife.” Oh woman ! what were life but one Dark hour of withering toil and care, Did not thy smile the faded sun ()f hope relume, and gleam upon The else unblessed air. Some heavenly wanderer might rove At times across our joyless sphere ; But, oh ! the heart whose tremblings prove How ample is its weight to love, Would not be here l The world’s dread mockery, the scorn Os men upon thy idol poured Thou heed’st not; but wilt gladly turn Thy tender breast to blunt the thorn That scourges thy adored. Madness, and misery, and despair That tortures while it charms the will, Lose half their anguish when thy prayer Os faith, thy trusting eyes, thy care, Defy all ill. Dear woman ! God has given to thee A form of angel mould and bloom : A soul like stars above the sea, That share their light and purity With night’s appalling gloom. Well hast thou kept the impress, thou ! That hands immortal made thine own : Still, seated on thy gentle brow, The peace that holy thoughts bestow, Shines like a crown. EROS. [New-York Paper. BOLD WOMEN. A bold woman is, to me, one of the most offensive objects on earth. I have often felt disgust for such ; though it lias often been mitigated by recollecting in bow many instances their bus bands have been conducive to this fault, by their want of delicacv, or by the improper associations they have allowed them to form. But, when an unmarried woman emancipates herself from all the constraints that modesty and pro priety prescribe, my disgust is unmitigated by pity. lam one of the few who maintain that mo desty may survive the virtue it was meant to guard ; but that virtue rarely, and only then, by chance, or calculation, outlives modesty.— [Countess of Blessington , s Victims of Society. A GOOD STORY. It is said of a gentleman in Phi ladelphia, that lie has a passion for the purchase of second hand furniture at action, and that in making “ good bargains” he has filled his house with antiquated and almost useless articles.
