XT Tbe following beantifal linei are no Sees worthy of the fair lady who offon them than she to whom they are dedicated :[For the New Albany Ledger.]TO MRS. A. L. RUTER DUFOUR.BY MRS. SARAH T. BOLTON.Dearest lady, as thoa art,Gentle, talented and fair,I have shrined thee in my heart,With the priceless treasures there.Could I have a soul like thine,On life’s pathway by my side—Never would my heart repine,For a more angelic guide.Oft we meet with worth and mind,In the circles where we move,But in long, long years we fiui,Few, how very few to love.Yet, without this cherished few,Life would be a desert lone,Where no sparkling drop of dew,Where no cheering sunbeam shone.With the darling little band,Whose warm spirits dwell with mine,In love’s raoiant Eden land,1 have dared to number thine.’Tis not long since first We niet,And we only met to part,But no measured lime m s#*t,For the offerings of the heart.Quick as thought, a look, a eigh,Or a whisper kind and true,Binds the spirit with a tie,That long years may not undo.Fancy brings thee to me now.With thine eyes so soft and bright;With thy pure transparent brow,Radi-int with the spirit’s lightBut, alas! when T essay.To embrace the vision fair,Silently it fades away,And I clasp the empty air—Clasp the empty air and hear,In the silence of my heart.Memory whispering, soft and clear,That our homes are far apart.Indianapolis, Feb. 1850.[From the London Punch.
