"ABSENCE MAKES THE HEALT GROW FONDER."
When absence for a while divides
True hearts like yours and mine, ............ 'Tis said that deeper love abides
Within each obosen shrine-
Love's torch then barns with brighter flame
While thought still lingers near The absent oue, whose very nume Decomes each hour more dear-
For though our hands cannot now meet
In fond and fervent gresp, Our hearts in mutual covcord beat,
Rememb'ring well the past.
Yat think not coldly I resign
The joy of seeing thes, Ahl no, my every thought is thine;
Art thou thus true to me ?
Whon music's soft entrancing sound
Charms my enraptured, ear, With double joy my heart would bound,
If thou could at bút be near-
With me to share the sweet delight
Of every fairy scene,
Of song, and dance, and mimis fight,
Dispelling care and epleen-
With me to view earth's lovely flowers
All tinted bright and fair, Fresh bathed in soft and grateful showers-
Perfuming all the air!"
The day drawe nigh when we shall meet
Once more in fond embrace, What happiness 'twill be to greet. Thy glad and welcome face!-
What joy to feel my anxious heart
Beat harmony with thine, From thenceforth nevermore to part,
Since all thy love is mine. Veronica.

-There may be a fight worth fighting,
my friend, Though victory there be none;
And though no haren be ours at the end,
Still we may steer straight on. And though nothing be good, and nothing

And nothing be true to the letter,
Tot a great many things are worse, And one or two things are better.
