Say, Shall We Meet Again
The powerful thought Icannot quell,
It burns within my brain;
I feel 't would kill me pot to see
Thy own sweet face again.
Though fairer forms may be around,
They have no charms for tne,
They - cannot turn this faithful heart
From dwelling, love, on thee.
I wallc abroad, and yet I am
A I ,, ne and wretched thing . ;
Tile blessed fond of sympathy
Wtibia me will not spring.
The joys of IN , are naught to me,
lily soul is filled with pain ;
And never will be comforted
Until we meet again
\Vhat though the earth has many forms
Of beiguty, rich and rare ! -
There is not one in witching, grace,
WitiLthee that can compare ! -
No, no, there is a void within,
My bliss is turned to bane;
Then say, 0 say, thou will consent
That we shall meet again!
Twilight
How sweetly collies the silver morn,
From out yon rose cloud curtained bower;
While stars their angel watches keep,
And balmy dews einbathe each flower.
The glories of the dying day
A golden hue have left on earth ;
Hushed in the musk; c,c the grove,
And gune the shout of boisterous
Far as my eye this - hour can scan,
The boundless bosom of the sea;
No speck of life, or snowy sail
Appears bin (toe tranquillity.
Rost', over all—sweet hour of pcare,
That unto weary man loth bring
Oblivion to his careworn heart,
Like fanninp, of an angers,wing.

WIFE FIRST GRIEF.
Who that has sat down in measureless
content, and enjoying the pleasures which
full gratification supplied, has not at times
felt rising in the mind the painful inquiry.
"How long will this last I—What will occur
to disturb the happiness which is now
vouchsafed ?' I never had a n t'animal to
which I was . particularly attached—and I
never had one from a cat to a horse to which
I was not strongly attached—that I did not
occasionally pause in tny • use or caresses
of.it, and ash, "What will occur to deprive
ine of it—accident, escape, or death
lit the midst of social enjoyment, when
the duty of sustaining the amusement or
the conversation has devolved upon another,
how often will the inquiry arise, 'How long
will this last.' No sign of rupture is - pre,
seated, no token of dissolution is observable ;
but there must_ be a rupture, there will be a
dissolution. "How twill it come, and when 1 "
1 confess that such anticipations are not
always the evidence of a well-balanced
Wind ; too often they come front a morbid
state of feeling, that frequently produce the
very evil they suggest. The anticipation
of evil not so much the result of unhappy
experience, as the consequence nfa want of
seil•sustaining power.

She was taking leave of a lover. She stood
a moment and . watched his departure, until
by turning a corner he was concealed from
her sight.
"Can it last r said she to herself. "And
why not ? if he loves me now, when my
station and consequently my manners are
less desirable than his; surely he must love
ine more when I have had the advantage of
Iris association, and have c o nstantly l in •

onward.--1 heard no other words, but her
steps indicated a unit at ease, or if distur

pleasure.
"Can it lam and if not, whoa will it fail t

—These were querries which arose in my
mind often, us [ thought of the apiiroaching
nuptials. And once. a few days after the
Marriage, [ saw her leaning against the
trunk of a tree. which was then in full blos-
13121=1
She, waS evidently connecting her own
new estate with the lovely hopefulness of
the branches above her, and she raised her
eyes again, 'twas evident that she Was
thinking of the future, which was radiant
with hope. . For one inoment,,_,a....cloud
seemed to pass over her face; it was rather
doubt thot
!oohed again nt tree and its mu
nificence of bloom; the cloud passed from
her face, and she came away in evident de
light.
That was a spring of disappointment, es
remember, a frost destroyed the early ve
getation, entirely ruined Ow blip;sont,: uu
the tree at which she had bgeit tool:Mg.
No fruit was borne.
It was I apprehend, my own infirmity
that led me to think more• of the changes
which night come across the path of the
newly married person, than anything- in her
condition ; for thotig-h I sub i staptentiv saw
where iho danger lurked, yet then it was
with me the only foreshadowin , of a son e •-
what morbid sensibi:ity, contrived to antici
pate enough to make the present litt - any
with apprehensions of the future. So I
watched. Blessed be the race of croakers,
whose stomachs are always coojuring up a
cloud to darken their ininds and. who itre
too unselliz.-11 to lot any on.e pass withwit
the benefit of their „overshadowing forebd
inas. I watched this' case, fur the first ex
clamation which I have rocorded of this
young woman had touched a chord of
melancholy in my disposition. and so I was
anxious to see, how long it would last;'
how long the peace, joy, and doarestic
f•rli
city would continue. It did not seem to me
that the disturbanze could origigate with
her.
The husband was fond of amusements.
and hi' kept and useida good gun and some
well-trained dogs.. But thoa-1 these drew
him occasionally from his leene, Vet tL
fine disposition of the wife found in the
dumb but sagacious companions of her hos
hand, objects of re,ard. She learned to
like them, and as became theirmettle na
ture, they loved her, joyed itthier caresses,
and seemed to have a sober resolvo to
watch over her safety, and to seem.r it even
at the cost of their lives. I confess that I
was disappointed at this, having anticipated
that the litter of dogs would have disturbed
the equanimity•of the wile, and t h u; have
provoked reprisals from the husbuid.
It was not long before some event—l
