Lov6 Thee ? Love thee ! Cans't thou ask me still If, in truth I love thee? Ask the breezes if you will, Ask the stars above thee. Nightly, daily on the air, Passi ng soft before me. Breathe I not thy name in prayer To the heavens o'er? Naught but breezes fond could tell, Naught, but stars give token Of those words they knvew so well, Ne'er to mortal spoken. Waking, dreaming, near oil far, Gay, or when I am knely, Of but one, my dreaming are Thee-and of thee only. Life and love are now but one, I had known them never, Till with love was life begm, To live on forever. Came a presence st.'ange to me, Never to be banished; lBrighter as it grew to be While all others vaniled. Many footsteps round me fall Oiie alone I'm learning; Many voices to me call One alone discerning. Many eyes there are, I ow). Shedding true love through them; St ranlge, but j one pair alone Draw iy owin unto them: Many lips unto me speak. Friendship's faith repeating; ips of onle alone I seek, Wleni their gentle greeting. i Many hAnds there are. I learn, t Fain would t ruly guide mtie; 11t I only care to tUrn1 To onie hand bCside. What were life. if love were gonc? Love, if life should sever? Life and love will till be one In that vast forever. Two l)ARIES Wilt.)

During the visit of the I eyclone which worked so much de- I struction to lives and property, f there were two little negroes asleep t on a bed in a house on Mr. Win Siith's plantation. The cyclone tore the louise to fragments, and lifting the floor onl which stood the bed containiing the two piccaninnies, carried it a mile t away over the top)s of tall trees anwl 1 deposited it amid the ruins of an Othier house that had shared a fear- a l fate. A tree fell across the bed, breaking dlown one enld of it, i alnd then lightning set fire to the t bjedd ing. T[he work of the storm was so - greait andl destructive that the peo pie who hadl secured themselves were afraid to emerge from their hiinrg places for some time; but t one after another finially went out. to rendler what assistance they t vould to the suffering. Discover inig smoke issuing from the debris of the negro house, a farmer ran .< to it and saw the burning bed with ( two little negroes lying on it. That a they were alive never entered his head, but judge of his surprise I wheb, on r'eaching thern, he found i they were alive and sound asleep,4 -adt having been awakened during the storm'. They were promptly reicned, andl whien aroused and seeing that they were ini a strange locality and inlAhe open air, they were nearly frightned 'to death. They had been shaken up and kbnocked about,'tctrried up into the 'Iir above the tops of the trees and bhen dropped into the broken) shell )f another houise and yet were not %waker.ed.
