I love when evening shades deseen.
And dim ther landwipe late so f •
Wiwn night and day together blend'
When spirit-whispers fill the air
mom, in some.secludel bow'r,
To dream away the twilight hour.
Vis fair to view at early, morn
Sol rising from his ocean bed,
Whose golden tints all earth adorn
• And light and life on 'nature ah
But dearer far the twilight hour
To thou who feel'' its mystic powii
ills tweet to float on Ocean's br
When Luna's pale and silv'ry ,
Plea= on those waves thatmever
\ Like memories of by-rne days
Yet dearer, sweeter, holler tar, •
To me th'e modest twilight star.
j
Some love to join the mazyidanc ,
Or in the sprightly waltz to mov,
Where eyes, with soft resistless gl
Melt e'eu the coldest hearti to lo
Yet oh ! still dearer to my view
The fluw'r that , sips the twilight de
Dear is to some the midnight route
Where thought is lost in reckle
The jovial song the boisterous she ,
• Of Bachanalian revelry ;,
Yet such have never known the po
That lingers in the twilight ho4tr7
Yes! when Death's summons I °be
lily spirit longs:to take its-fligh
Not in the dazzling glare of day-1
Not in the sable gloom of nigh
But in the twilight hour I love,
When most I'm fit to soar above.
OF Here it one of Tennyson'
little lyrics,, It is worthy of his pe
ly
,Tenny.ron could have Written it:
Sit down, sad soul, and count
The moments•eying;
Come—tell the sweet amount
That's lost by sigbing.i
•How •many. smiles f--s. score ?
Tben:langh and count no; 'more,
For day is d3,71ig4
ri
Lie down, sad 5 '131,. and 'sleep,
. • And'no more. measure
The flight of Ti e, nor 'Weep
The loss of leisure; I
But; here,.by this lonU stream,
Lie down with us, .and drti L am,
Of starry treasure ! '
We dream—do thim the same;
We ilove forever;
We laugh, yet few! we shame—
The-gentle, never ;
Stay, then, till sorrow dies—
Then kope and happy skies
Are thin forever!

Byron's love of solitary ambles, and his

It was - about thii iseriod, when he was not
quite eight years old, that a feeling partaking
more of the nature of hive than it is „easy to
believe possible , in so young a child, took, ac
cording to his own account, entire possession
of MS thoughts, and showed how early; in
this passien, as in most 'others, thesensibilties
of his nature were awakened. ' The name- of
the object of this attachment was Mary Duff;
and the following passage from rziournallept
by him in 1813, will ViOw freshly, after an
interval of seventeen years, all 1 the dream-.
stances of his early lovestill lived in his mem
ory. • 1 - i
"I have been thinking a great deal of Ma
ry Duff. How very odd that I 'should have
been so utterly, devotedly fond of that girl at
an early age, when I could neither feel plo
sion or know the meaning of the word. And
the effect! My mother used to rally me
about this ; childish amour; and, at:last, many
year after, when I was sixteen, She said to
me One day, " Oh, Byi on, I have 'had a letter
from Edinburgh, from Miss Aberesomby, and
your old' sweetheart, Mary Duff, is married to
allfr. Coe." And what was - my 'answer! I
really cannot explain or account for my feel
ings at that moment,; kit they really threw
me into convulsions, and alarmed my mother
so much, that, after I grew better, die gener
•l
ously avoided the subject—to me,--and con
tented herself with telling it to all her ai
quaintances. Now, what could this be! I
had never seen her since her mother's faux pas
at Aberdeen had been the cause - 4-11'er remelt ,
al to her grandmother's, at, Banft;' we were
both, the merest children. '.l had, ' and hive,
been attached fifty timesisince that period ;
yet I recollect all we said to each , otW., all
our caresses, her features, my kutlessness,
sleeplessness, my tormenting [My mother's "
maid to write for me to her, whicshe at last
did to, quiet me. Poor Nancy thought Ives
h ;
Wild; - and, -as I could not - Write fo myself, lie
cattle my secretary.. I remember, too, our
walks, and the happiness of sitting b y Mary,
in the children's apartment at their house,
not far from the Plainstones, at', Aberdeen,
while her lesser sister, Helen, played withlhe
doll, and wersat gravely making hive in our
way. How the deuce . did all this occur!
where could it originate! J . certainly lid
no sexual ideas for years afterwarda; and - yet
my misery, my love for that girl, were sore
lent that I sometimes dotibt if I have ever
been really attached since. Be that as . 4
may, hearing of her marriage, seteral years
after, was like 1 a thunderstroke-4t nearly
choked me—to the horror of ley Mother and
the astonishment and almost incredulity of
eierybody. And it is a phenomenon in My
existence (for I was not eight yeass old)
which has Puzzled, and will puzzle ime to the
last hour of it;.and lately, I know Filet why,
the ittallection (not the ittachinent) has -re
curred as forcibly as ever. I' wonder if she,
can have the least remembrance efit`or me!
or remember her pitying sister Helen ter not
having an admirer tool , !How very pretty is
the perfect image of her in my memory—her
brown dark hair and hazel eyes;; her very

mother told the circumstances (on my jhear
ing of ,her marriage) to the Parkyrises and
certainly. to Che Pigot family, and ,probably
mentioned it in her answer to, Misi who
was well acquainted. with my child's pen- ,
