In that new childhood of the world

Life of itself shall dance and play,

Fresh blood through Time's shrunk veins be hurled, And labour meet delight half-way.

LOVE.

A passage from Lord BYRON.

YET Julia's very coldness still was kind,
And tremulously gentle her small hand
Withdrew itself from his, but left behind

A little pressure, thrilling, and so bland
And slight, so very slight, that to the mind
'Twas but a doubt; but ne'er magician's wand
Wrought change with all Armida's fairy art
Like what this light touch left on Juan's heart.

And if she met him, though she smiled no more,
She look'd a sadness sweeter than her smile,
As if her heart had deeper thoughts in store
She must not own, but cherish'd more the while
For that compression in its burning core;

Even innocence itself has many a wile,
And will not dare to trust itself with truth
And love is taught hypocrisy from youth.

But passion most dissembles, yet betrays
Even by its darkness; as the blackest sky
Foretells the heaviest tempest, it displays
Its workings through the vainly guarded eye,
And in whatever aspect it arrays

Itself, 'tis still the same hypocrisy ;
Coldness or anger, even disdain or hate,
Are masks it often wears, and still too late.

Then there were sighs, the deeper for suppression,
And stolen glances, sweeter for the theft,
And burning blushes, though for no transgression,
Tremblings when met, and restlessness when left ;
All these are little preludes to possession,

Of which young passion cannot be bereft,
And merely tend to show how greatly love is
Embarrass'd at first starting with a novice.

STANZAS.

By C. P. CRANCH, a name quite new to us, but nevertheless well worthy of preservation here.

THOUGHT is deeper than all speech;

Feeling deeper than all thought;
Souls to souls can never teach
What unto themselves was taught.

We are spirits clad in veils :
Man by man was never seen:
All our deep communing fails

To remove the shadowy screen.

Heart to heart was never known:
Mind with mind did never meet:
We are columns left alone,

Of a temple once complete.
Like the stars that gem the sky,
Far apart, though seeming near,

In our light we scatter'd lie:
All is thus but starlight here.

What is social company

But a babbling summer-stream?

What our wise philosophy

But the glancing of a dream?

Only when the sun of love

Melts the scatter'd stars of thought;

Only when we live above

What the dim-eyed world hath taught,—

Only when our souls are fed

By the fount which gave them birth,

And by inspiration led,

Which they never drew from earth :

We, like parted drops of rain,

Swelling till they meet and run,

Shall be all absorb'd again,

Melting, flowing into one.
