HOME.

WHO loveth not the memory of home-
The sweet remembrance of bygone joys
Ere passion enervates or pleasure cloys,

Ere hope's bright visions fade in sorrow's gloom;
Within, around, above,

Nature is yielding me a world's delight,

Witching with countless charms my willing mind-
Yet to all these my inward gaze is blind
When I recur to thine enchantments bright-
Home of my youth and love!

SONNET

On the Death of a Poet.

SUGGESTED BY A VISIT TO ONE OF THE ROMANTIC FALLS ON THE DEVONSHIRE RIVER, THE TEIGN, CONSECRATED BY THE MELANCHOLY MEMORY OF A SUICIDE.

FRIEND! we are friends? then come away with me,

Where echo sleepeth in the mountain grot―

A wild, untrodden, unfrequented spot :

Here died a poet-in his sweet minstrelsie
Hope liv'd, and love had being. He is dead.
He did not die in youth, for he had tried
All passion's disappointments, 'ere he died;
But he is dead-to this world ever dead-

His foes had ceas'd their war-his friends had parted-
He was alone-nor wife nor child was near-
And he is 'neath the wave-his soul hath darted
Away where live the cherish'd and the dear;
They say, he died thus lone and broken-hearted,
To sleep with all his memories. Are they here.

HAPPY DAYS.

It is not much the world can give,
With all its subtle art,

And gold and gems are not the things

To satisfy the heart;

But oh! if those who cluster round

The altar and the hearth,

Have gentle words and loving smiles
How beautiful is earth!

C. D. STEWART.

WRITTEN On the window-pane of an old secluded mansion are the following words :—

"Janet Wilson and Catherine Grey
Here spent many a happy day!"

These simple lines set us thinking: not wondering who Janet Wilson, or Catherine Grey might have been, but thinking of the happy days which they had once passed together in that ancient, and now deserted place. And yet we felt almost sure that the words were not written then-for how few keep record of happy days-but years afterwards, perhaps, with tears and fond regrets.

""Tis ever thus ;-God's daily gifts
Wake but a feeble lay;

We feel not, know not how to prize
Till they have passed away."

"How many happy days," writes an American author, "pass unnoticed periods in the table of life's chronology-unrecorded either in the book of memory, or the scanty annals of our thanksgiving. How many happy months are swept away beneath the silent wing of time, and leave nor name nor record in our hearts. Sweet moments of quietness and affection! Glad hours of hope and joy! Days, yea, many days began and ended in health and happiness-times and seasons of heaven's gracious beneficence! stand before us in the light of memory and command us to be thankful!" Memory, it has been beautifully said, is a poetess, and creates a past world of her own by shedding upon departed scenes and objects a mild and glorifying moonlight. And we are told also, and we know and feel that
