Of her bright face one glance will trace a picture on the brain, And of her voice in echoing hearts a sound must long remain ; But memory such as mine of her so very much en dears, When death is nigh my latest sigh will not be life's but hers.

OLD Grimes is dead, that good old man, But he has left a son who bears He wears a coat of latest cut, His pants are gaiters, fitting snug A chain of massive gold is borne His clothes are better every day He's six feet tall, no post more straight, His teeth are pearly white; In habits he is sometimes loose, And sometimes very tight. His manners are of sweetest grace, His voice of softest tone; His diamond pin's the very one He sports the fastest "crab" in town, He never knows who's President, He has drunk wines of every kind, Young Grimes, in short, is just that sort Of man Old Grimes was not.

LEAD me 'mong blossoms white Away from teasing care, And let the charmed air, With luscious tone, Soothe me with strains unknown. Oh! heap the blossoms sweet About my face and feet, Till half the blushing sky, And the nook wherein I lie, Are curtained most deliciously. With odors deluge me, With rose-light and low melody; Oh, radiant land! where my young eyes And heard Hope singing everywhere— How soon-too soon! The burning Noon : Drank all thy dew from bud and leaf, The drifting sands before me spread I faint with fighting wrong and sin; PARIAN MARBLE.
