MISCELLANY.

From the Cmn.ncrciat Advertiser. TVUITTCN Airillt SF,ElNO THE CORrSE OF A YOU.VO LADY. In the pride ami !'rv of youthful spring. Thy lamp of lil'.t l:it!i perished Dt-'c.nv liatii uiel his raven 'u O'er the rose which tjtauty cherished; How :ii!v thou sported life's path aloii, In maiden hljm, and jov and on, Hw sMn liath death oYrthv pathu v driven And borne thee avav in his arms to heaven! y mare shall thy footsteps lightly tred O'er the hill when the morning MiiOk-s iSor thy voice its winnini: rnuic shrtl Where the rill in its clear wave pushes The stream in gladness shall tlow on Though the flower that graced its banks is gone. And the morn shall blush, but never shine Agian, on a fairer farm than thine. 2Co more when the summer moon beams full. And the um:ner stars ;r" shining, Shall thy -Title hand th lily cull. Its wreath with thy tresses twining N' more shalt thtvi cull the violet hlue. "When its leaves are fresh with evening dew; Now thine is the cold and cy pall Instead of loe rtv coronal. "!iere now ?s the light of that mild blue eve? In oblivion l.rkiv clouded Where now is thy cheek of the purest dyer In the winding sheet enshrouded The germ which in life's gat den spuing, O'er which atVvction londlv hu:rg. Oh! where hath its grace atul beiuty !? The stem is broken the germ is dead!

I saw thy mother bend o'er thv bier. While her eye glanced up to heaven I heard no oS I aw no tear But her inmost heart was iteu! Yea, her's was that still agonv, hich work unseen and silently, Which Rows in anguish deep and still, Like the stream beneath an ice-crov ned rill. Better it were that she should waif. That her sorrows loudly should be spoken, This noiseless grief oft tells the tale, That the strings of the heart are broken Better if were that tears should stait, From the full eye, than bathe the heart, For the gathered tears that are unshed, Are tokens true that hope is dead! The hranch hath died 3nd th tree remains The stem survive its timer So every blosoni this art.i contains Must meet with the hligbting Imur: Thy morning: sky hath an earlv cloud Thy beauty is wreathed in an early shroud The lighUaud love of thy daTs are o'er, But grief shall veil thy blow no more. r '
