POETRY.

DEATH AND THE YOUTH.
'Not yet-the flowers are in my path,
The sun is in my sky;
Not yet-my heart is full of hope-
I cannot bear to die.

Not yet I never knew till now
How precious life could be;
My heart is full of love-oh, Death,
I cannot come with thee!

But Love and Hope, enchanted twain,
Passed in their talsehood by ;
Death came again, and then he said-
'Im ready now to die!'

[From the Montreal Gazette.}
SONG.

'Tis come, 'tis come, the twilight hour,
And I that promise claim of thee,
To stray beyond thy guardian bower,
Alone with me.

So dearest we will seat the glon,
Do lovely in a night like this,
And let me breathe my passion then.
Say yes-say yes.

And I will whisper not a word.
To raise a blush upon thy cheek,
Nor breathe a wish if angels heard,
They might not speak.

But when I've told thee all my love,
Ah! dare I steal one parting kiss,
No witness but the stars above.
Say yes say yes.
