MUSINGS OF THE POETS.

A Memory. Affowi tbe vanished years where mem’ry lincers. There comee to me a picture from the past— And round her brow I see fond fairy fingers Entwining rarest roses to the last Her laughing voice could banish every sorrow; Her sunn; smile was all tbe world to me— Yet vainly from the past I try to borrow Her presence from that dark eternity. It must be that beyond the stars now shining She waits and watches for my coming call; For oft in dreams my weary head reclining Upon her bosom finds Its sweet enthrall. —John A Joyce, in Chicago Hail. I Cannot Call Her Image Up at Will. | I cannot call her image up at will; When eer I strive to picture her sweet face Within my mind I cannot seem to trace The features grown so dear to me; aud still, Her words, her smiles, her passing gestures, fill 'My thoughts as freshly as if all her grace Were present with me in the very place, And make my heart leap up, my pulses thrill. Vaguely I see her lips, her gentle eyes: Yet, tho’ I never catch the fleeting whole, I feel new passion waken, purpose rise. And see ambition point me to the goal; Bo to my vision Love her face denies. That I may catch the Impress of her soul. —Frank R. Batchelder. in N. Y. Independent. Chanticleer at Midnight. O guardian of the nestled flock, What wondrous inner sight Can give thee thus thy certain clock, That strikes the dead of night? And what hath told thee that the sun, His golcten beam withdrawn, This hour the utmost cape has won ‘Twixt eventide and dawn? While I, with many a feeble doubt, So wait on time's delay, I hear thee pour thy cheery shout, As if the night were day. In sympathy I pause and hark, My heart to care a slave; We both are watchers of the dark. But thou alone art brave. - George H. Coomer, in Youth's Companion. Perplexed. ARABELLA SOLILOQUIZES. "I cannot understand at all Tho way mamma goes on— When I elimb trees or ohase the dogs And have the greatest fun, She'll sternly say: ‘Now, Arabella, don't you know A great big girl like you should not act so?’ ‘‘But when 1 want some jewelry, A braee’et, or some pretty rings, Or, maybe, nothing but a hat With flowers and bows and things: Or, sometimes, just because 1 want my hair in curl, Bhc'llsay: ■That is not nice for such a little girl.’ " —Clara J. Denton, in Puck. Six Tons of Hay Per Acre. (k!
