    lu the Cottage by the River.
‘ iror——
In the cottage by the river,
Covered with a clust'ring vine,
Where the restless pepens quiver,
Aud the climbing roses twine;
Lirs a maiden, goon to measure
New and untried scenes to come;
Leaving every earthly treasure,
Passing ro a brighter home,
In our earlier scenes of childhood,
We had met, this maid and 1;
Met, and pledged within the wildwood
Love that never was to diel
Jat the fates, or was it mortals?
Which, I am not certain, quite;
Willed that this side heavenly portals
We should never more unite.
“Did you hear the bell's slow tolling?”
Said a neighbor yesterday,
“Knew you when they were enrolling,
With the denizens of clay?
"Twas that lovely little maiden,
Whom you knew in years gone by;
With the golden tresses laden,
Rosy-cheeked, and bright bine eye.”
Grieved was I beyond expressing,
Disappointed, heart-sick, sore;
I had dreamed of yet possessing
That fair maiden’s heart once more;
Now the grave had closed upon her,
Closed upon those matchless charms,
Heaven, not 1, at last has won her,
Death withholds herfrom my arms,
Well, farewell to Mary dearest;
Farewell till we meet above;
In that home where skies are clearest,
Comes no clouds athwart our love.
W ait for me where naught can sever,
Love like ours, or soon, or late,
Unites we shall be torever
Safe within the pearly
