The Heart.
BY MRS. liemErrs.
thou Nast crushed a flower,
Tho root may not bo
It thou bast quenched a lamp,
Once morolt may be lighted;
But on thy harp or on thy bite,
Tho string which thou hest broken,
Shall never in sweet sound again
Give to thy touch a token. -
If thou bast loosed a bird,
'Whose voice of song could cheer thee,
Still,still ho may bo won
from the skies to warble near thee;
Bet if upon the troubled sea,
Thou hest thrown a gem unheeded,
Ilea not that the wind or wave will bring;
The treasure back when needed,
If thou hsst bruised a vine,'
Tho summer's sun is healing,
And its clusters yet may glow
Thro' the leaves their bloom revealing; .
But if thou last a cup o'erthrown . '
With a bright draught,--oh! never -
Shill earth give back that lavished wealth
To cool thy parched lips' fever,
The heart is like that cup, - •
If thou waste the love it born thee;
And like that jewel gone,
Which the deep will not restore thee:
And like thatstruin of harp or lute,
Whence the sweet sound is scattered ;
Gently, oh! gently touch the chords
forever shattered !
Sorrow.
Life has dark secrets? and the heart.s are few
That treasure pot some sorrow from the
- world—
A
sorrow silent, gloomy, and unknown,
Yet coloring the future with the past.
We see the ere subdued, the practiced smile,
The word well weighed before it pass the lip, -
And know not of the misery within ;
Yet there it works incessently, and fear's • •
The tine to come,; for time is terrible,
Avenging and betraying.

A Story.
BY S. H. DURAND
"I believe in leaving young people to man
age their own heart affairs," said Mr. Alton,
as Alice•the.yourigest daughter of his friend .
Ma Green, at whose house,he was then on a
visit, finished reading a story to which all had
listened with peculiar interest. It was ono of
those stories of disappointed love which so
frequently grace the pages of our modern pc.-
riodiwls, where the parents arc represented as .
heartless, unreasonable creatures, who interfere
unjustly with the affairs of their children, pre_
venting the course_ of true love from running
smooth, of which run away matches, or broken
hearts and early decline, arc the consequences.
'The deepeit sympathy of the hearers had here
been awakenedmnd their strongest indignation
aroused by the recital of the sufferings of an
affianced pair, where the lover in consequence
of the father's refusal to their marriage, rushed
into the army and threw his life away in battle;
upon hearing which the young lady became in
, couse.rablo, and finally faded with the autumn
led, dying in the arms of her father, who, when
tee late, saw his error and repented of his rash- 1
nen. At the close of the thrilling history Mr.
Alton gave expression to his feelings in the
remark quoted above.
'Parents have no right to interfere with the
love matters of their children,', he continued.
'Fail out knows the affections of his own heart

and bow to bestow them, and I believe a great

Among•the friends of my tieheal:days'Who
were not forgotten when my schooldays pas - ea
was Charles Weston, • His father , wzi ; weal.,

stanclinga little out from a beautiful, Oleg°, I'
passed on my way to school. Charles always
waited for me in , thel• • morning that wo might
go 'together, and When there was no sChoid we
generally sought each others company to•:play
by the little lake or on , the village green, or
to wander through llia weeds,. Ho was about
my own age, strongly impulsive and full of,
wild glee, but; always actuated by'dgenerous I
and noble spirit. ,Attiong; our companions at I
school was one who seemed to lie a ' particular;
favorite of Charles. Elsie Bowman-ilia a

loving; she was so innocent, so kind, so
light
hearted, and so happy. ! ' • I

that perhaps ho might never again sea that
