He. Speak, mine own daughter, of the sunbright locks!

To what pale banished region wouldst thou roam?

She. O father, let us find our frozen rocks!

Let's seek that country of all countries-Home!

He. Seest thou these orange flowers? this palm that

rears

Its head up toward heaven's blue and cloudless dome ?

She. I dream, I dream; mine eyes are hid in tears; My heart is wandering round our ancient home.

He. Why, then, we'll go. Farewell tender skies,

ye

Who sheltered us, when we were forced to roam!

She. On, on! Let's pass the swallow as he flies!

Farewell, kind land! Now, father, now-for

Home !

My Lover.

He was to me what none had ever been—

A refuge-benediction-Deity,

To which I knelt and was absolved from sin :—
He was to me what none can ever be-
A star whose light illumes eternity;
And thus were we, like two celestial rays
Met on the borders of mortality,

A moment, panting, each on each to gaze,

Ere they commingling blend in one eternal blaze.

I knew no light, but the etherial light
That emanated from his soul-lit eyes-

They were my sun by day-my stars by nightThe moon to which my heart's full tide did riseI knew no music but the harmonies

Of his low voice-no bliss-filled nectary

But his high heart-no perfume but his sighsI knew no world, but the unfathomed sea Of his pure love-no heaven but its eternity.

PLATED WARE.

CARROLL & HUTCHINSON import from the European manufacturers all the fancy pieces of Plated Ware suitable for presents.

Among many others will be found, Butter Bowls, Sugar Stands, Flower Stands, Jewel Boxes, Ring Trays, etc.

They also keep on hand a variety of plated Card Baskets, Cake Baskets, Castors, and every other article in this material.

CLOCKS AND MANTEL ORNAMENTS.

THE Clocks sold at this establishment are warranted to be entirely free from the usual objection made against Ornamental Clocks, namely—that they are of no use except as ornaments. The prejudice which exists against fancy French Clocks has arisen from the large number of imitations, and inferior, though showy articles, which have been sold in this market as genuine. The truth is, that the best Paris Clocks are the best clocks in the world; and because they are the best, they are universally preferred in Europe to all others.

All Clocks sold by CARROLL & HUTCHINSON are warranted to answer the double purpose of ornament and use and of such Clocks, a large variety may always be found at 547 BROADWAY. Also, Bronze, Ormolu, and Gilt Candelabras, Candlesticks, Coupes, Vases, Groups, Figures, etc., etc.

From this hour the Pledge is given.

FROM this hour the pledge is given,

From this hour my soul is thine:
Come what will, from earth or heaven,
Weal or woe, thy fate be mine.
When the proud and great stood by thee,
None dared thy rights to spurn;
And if now they're false and fly thee,
Shall I, too, basely turn?
No;-whate'er the fires that try thee,
In the same this heart shall burn.

Though the sea, where thou embarkest,
Offers now a friendly shore,

Light may come where all looks darkest,
Hope hath life, when life seems o'er.
And, of those past ages dreaming,
When glory decked thy brow,
Oft I fondly think, though seeming
So fallen and clouded now,

Thoul't again break forth, all beaming

None so bright, so blest as thou!

THOMAS MOORE.
