THE STOIiEN KISS,
Lady, you salu the other night.
You did not think that it was right
To kiss y'dtt'oti ttie UpK
Yefblamo nte not, or blahio "tli beo
That seeks the beet rose on the.lrce
Andwhere Iha, honesty's fttiuwn to be
Is -euro 4o light and sip.
Or, if you still Tnytonduct blame,
And think my first excuse is lame,
Just pause and tail me why
Your red lip'pouta so temptingly.
And if it id 'come now, kiss me 1
SJorne might theawebt templatioos flee,
But such one am not U
And yet we holh aw right, perchar.ce,
For I have heard that folks in France
ArraBge it on this falion:
. They kiss ttrangir on the hand,
Upon the thtik a femalerientf,
But lovers always may demand
The lip, and plead their passion.
If this b true, perhaps1) ohII aay,
You ahouhj not take the lovei'a way,'v
Untilrw a Ie)vrV
Ah, ladyyif yoa answer so,
My argumoats for" nothing go, ,
Atd if 'iwere trfed ia law, I kno.w
' You'd damages recover. , JP . .,
For, Iho'Vgh llfit In. answer plead '
That I a loVsrwas indeed,
Yt, if ysrald deny,
That you rtf ardd me as one,
?As surrai aay rifle gun
"My arguments would, all be done,
And I hare ao reply.
But, dearest lady; even then
I think I'd try my luck again,
And plead for some delay,
That I might use the lover's art,
And -win in truth your guildleas riearlt
Then take one kiss leu than my part,
And thus the damage pay.

ST MRS, C. BARON WILSON.
jyheTt rouBi her ocean dwelling
.Bursts the rude tempest' i blast:
fP hilo waves, to mountains' swelling,
Cloi'd o'er the siukingrrnsst:
Forth came the seamans daughter,
Like Mercy o'er thVwave,
Stemming that story water,
To aucocr and to save.
The laurel for the wanior'e brow,
Fame's glorious fingers twine;
Bat far raore verdant did it glow,
Heroic maid, on thine.
And ever, to mr deathless name
Shan hallow'u memories dine,
More precious than the wreath-of Fame,
rure, orignt, uupcnsning.
Thy firm, but woman's spirit ahrank
From the homage of the crowd;
While pale decay thy life spring drank,
And dealhhy beauty bow'd.
Now sadly, round the ocean home
Mournetli the muim'rine wave,
And (hueh'd eaeh angry billow's foam)
Makes music o'er thy' grave,
From tho Sunday Mercury.
THE SNOW.
Tis a mirthful time whenhe fealhery snow
From the clouded sky "doth fall,
For it droppeth down so silently
On the lattice and the wall;
And it covered every faded stalk,
And every hut and tree,
And spreads the leafy orchard walk,
And the mountain, and the lea.
The snow is a skilful architect,
For many a bower it weaves,
And glittering chalice, in ii sport,
With the moss and faded leases;
And the glassy brink of the icy rill,
It fringsth with its gems,
And by the rock, bnilds the drifted hill,
With sparkling diadems.
And I have heard it gently rap
At the lonely window pane,
And as the white flake fell away,
And her would lap again:
Till over the casement snd the vine,
Yon forest and yon lea,
Were mantling wreath, and spotless shrine,
And beautiful eights to see.
But hark I for the tempest riseth now,
And cloudeth the night-sky o'er,
And sorrowful sinks, in the drifted heap,
The traveller on the moorl
lh 1 cold was the travellers winding sheet,
And few were the words that fell,
For the heart and home could never meet
In the welcome and farewell 1
lieigho', for the chime of the merry bell,
And oier the hills we bo,
TCe glide o'er the white knolls in the, dell,
And the piles of mountain snowp
Till suntlnts fade from the cryslal'hesp,
And rnerrv birds come to sine
