Blest with a taste exact, yet unconfined;
A knowledge both of books and human kind;
Generous converse; a soul exempt from pride;
And love to praise, with reason on his side?"

THE LAY OF THE JILTED.

BELIEVE the cloud that veils the sun
Will ne'er depart-will ne'er depart,
Believe that pity's voice will melt

The miser's heart-the miser's heart;
Believe that storms will never curl

The quiet wave — the quiet wave,

And trust that charms have power to rend

the silent grave;

The silent grave.
Believe that flattery's fawning tongue
Will ne'er beguile- will ne'er beguile,
Aye, trust the faith of woman's frown;
But not her smile - but not her smile.

The lover swears her softest yes

Is always no is always no.

Cupid one day his skill would try,

I watched his dart I watched his dart,

It pierced the maiden's whalebone stays,

But not her heart-but not her heart.

ELAH.

TO ADELA.

LADY, by the stars that glisten
In yon conscious arch above,
By the viewless forms that listen
To my plighted vow of love,
By this heart which fondly flingeth
All its incense on thy shrine,
Speak the word that rapture bringeth,
Whisper, dearest, thou art mine.

O delay not; - bitter sorrow
For thy coyness have I borne ;

Let me not, another morrow,

Feel within the festering thorn!
Ah! that gentle smile thou wearest
Speaks of pity for my pain;

Bless thee! bless thee! sweetest, dearest!
Let me see that smile again.

LEAVES FROM A TRAVELLER'S NOTE BOOK. No. II. 33

"A Child of Nature" is indeed a natural; he has "wandered abroad" twice to no purpose: we advise him for the future to stay at home and keep quiet. "Mother Goose" we presume is so well appreciated, that there is no need of attempting to unfold her beauties in Harvardiana. "Complaint of the letter H,” "Characters," "The College Bell,” Friendship and Love," 66 'Farewell," ," "The Grave," and "X. I. O." are inadmissible.
