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.

Young Grimes.

OLD Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more;

But he has left a son who bears
The name that old Grimes bore.

He wears a coat of latest cut,
His hat is new and gay;
He cannot bear to view distress,
So turns from it away.

His pants are gaiters, fitting snug
O'er patent-leather shoes:
His hair is by a barber curled;
He smokes cigars and chews.

A chain of massive gold is borne
Above his flashy vest;

His clothes are better every day
Than were old Grimes's best.

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
That old Grimes used to own.

He sports the fastest "crab" in town,
Is always quick to bet;

He never knows who's President,
But thinks "Old Tip's" in yet.

He has drunk wines of every kind,
And liquors cold and hot;

Young Grimes, in short, is just that sort

Of man Old Grimes was not.

J Birth-day Lyric.

LEAD me 'mong blossoms white
In the early amber light,

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;
For I would dream, until earth seems
What once it promised in my dreams.

Oh, radiant land! where my young eyes
Saw angels in the rainbow skies,
And felt Love's arms in all the air,

And heard Hope singing everywhere—
Sweet land of boyhood! Rose unblown!
Delicious heart-enfolded zone!

How soon-too soon!

The burning Noon

:

Drank all thy dew from bud and leaf,
And seared the bowers of Young Belief:-

The drifting sands before me spread
With murky redness overhead;

I faint with fighting wrong and sin;
To-day, oh, let me enter in
The gardens, beautiful of yore,
And live again my May-life o'er.
I may come forth more firm and strong
To deal with error, blame, and wrong;
Upon my heart fresh dew shall lie,
And heaven seem nearer to mine eye.
