While _evening-lightsdecay, to ELIZA Alas,‘ dauglitel of Jordon Colds, Esq., of the former
Thy parting steps methinks I hear plum
Steal from the world away!
Amid thy silent bowers DEATHS-

the Rev. Dr. Anthon,

’Tis sad but sweet to dwell; .
Where falling leaves and drooping flowers
Around me breathe farewell.
Along thy sunset skies
Their glories melt in shade ;
And, like the things we fondly prize,
Seem lovelier as they fade.
A deep and crimson streak
Thy dying leaves disclose;
As on consum tion’s waning cheek,
,’Mid ruin, b ooms the rose.
Th scene each vision brings
f beauty in decay; ‘

Of fiiir and early faded things,
Too exquisite to stay; -
Of joys that come no more ; .

Of flowers whose bloom is {led ;
Of titrewells wept upon the shore ;
Of friends estranged or dead;

Of all that now may seem
To Memory’s tearful eye

The vanished beauty of a dream,
O’er which we gaze and sigh.

 

[Fl-om the London Court Journal.)
SHE IS NO MORE 1

The rose upon her check was red,

And. on its faithless tint relying,
Though languor came and vigor fled,
‘ We could not think that she was dying !
We bore her to you distant sliom,

Where Arno rolls, a stream of gladness E
But Alps and ocean, traversed o'er,

But added sorrow to our sadness !
Devoted beauty ! on thy cheek,

Though deep Decay has placed her finger,
Still health imparts a glowing streak,

And there, unblaiiched, her roses linger!
There is no sorrow in thy sigh-

I,ike Hope, rcposing on her anchor-—
Tlime eye is bright-—tliy cheek is dry,

But 'neath its vormeil tint, the canker!
80, when autumnal suns arise

And N am re’s radiant form is brightest,
The groves display their richest dies, .
But wither while their leaves are brightest.
