GREEN o'er the copses spring's soft hues are spreading,High wave the reeds in the transparent floods,The oak its sear and sallow foliage shedding,From their moss'd cradles start its infant buds.Pale as the tranquil tide of summer's ocean,The willow now its slender leaf unveils;And through the sky with swiftly fleeting motion,Driv'n by the wind, the rack of April sails.Then, as the gust declines, the stealing showersFall fresh and noiseless; while at closing dayThe low sun gleams on moist and half-blown flowers,That promise garlands for approaching May.Bless'd are yon peasant children, simply singing,Who through the new-sprung grass rejoicing rove;More bless'd! Oh ! Fried chicken, cornbread and cake what brings you back to this Charlotte restaurant. Allies in prosperous fortune thus he prov'd, And left them, unregretting, unbelov'd; Yet much his self-love suffer'd by the shock, And now, his quiet cabin in the rock, The faithful partner of his every care, And all the blessings he abandon'd there, Rush'd on his sickening heart; he felt it yearn, But pride and shame prevented his return; So wandering fartherat the close of day To the high woods he pensive wing'd his way; But new distress at every turn he found Struck by an hawk, and stunn'd upon the ground, He once by miracle escaped; then fled From a wild cat, and hid his trembling head Beneath a dock; recovering, on the wind He rose once more, and left his fears behind; And, as above the clouds he soar'd, the light Fell on an inland rock; the radiance bright Shew'd him his long deserted place of rest, And thitherward he flew; his throbbing breast Dwelt on his mate, so gentle, and so wrong'd, And on his memory throng'd The happiness he once at home had known; Then to forgive him earnest to engage her, And for his errors eager to atone, Onward he went; but ah ! x xxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx Wayne, Indiana, USA.

The vine Mantles the little casement; yet the briar Drops fragrant dew among the July flowers; And pansies rayed, and freak'd and mottled pinks Grow among balm, and rosemary and rue: There honeysuckles flaunt, and roses blow Almost uncultured: Some with dark green leaves Contrast their flowers of pure unsullied white; Others, like velvet robes of regal state Of richest crimson, while in thorny moss Enshrined and cradled, the most lovely, wear The hues of youthful beauty's glowing cheek. With fond regret I recollect e'en now In Spring and Summer, what delight I felt Among these cottage gardens, and how much Such artless nosegays, knotted with a rush By village housewife or her ruddy maid, Were welcome to me; soon and simply pleas'd. would that I had died, 'E'er you so chang'd ! Smith saw Hayley's actions as betrayal; he would often make claims that she was a "Lady of signal sorrows, signal woes." - Tranquil seclusion I have vainly sought; Peace, who delights solitary shade,No more will spread for me her downy wings,But, like the fabled Danads- or the wretch,Who ceaseless, up the steep acclivity,Was doom'd to heave the still rebounding rock,Onward I labour; as the baffled wave,Which yon rough beach repulses, that returnsWith the next breath of wind, to fail again.- Ah! Indigence again, an abstract quality personified with a capital letter means neediness or poverty. Events There are no events at this time.

Yet some things soon occurr'd not quite so pleasant; He had observ'd that an unfeeling peasant, It silence mounting on a ladder high, Seiz'd certain pigeons just as they could fly, Who never figur'd more, but in a pie; That was but aukward; then, his lordship's son Heard from the groom, that 'twould be famous fun To try on others his unpractis'd gun; Their fall, the rattling shot, his nerves perplex'd; He thought perhaps it might be his turn next.
