1. Emblem of peace', thou lone one', rest!
Nay', tremble not at love's intent';
Why dost thou', fluttering', quit my breast',
Nor leave one dweller innocent!
2. Alas! thy spotless form has fled',

Like fancy's rainbow dream of love',-
Guiding our steps where angels tread',
With light that shines but from above`.

3. Perhaps a sainted spirit took

Thy snowy wings', to visit men';
But', grieving at their fall'n look',

Flew back', in tears', to peace again'.

4. Thou seem'st like that which false love brings`;
A ray of bliss', too soon to sever',
Which', o'er the heart, one moment flings
A light to gleam', then fade forever`.

PRACTICAL EXERCISES IN PARSING.-LESSON 12.
1. Born with the spring, and with the roses dying,
Tarough the clear sky on zephyr's pinions flying,
On the young flow'ret's opening bosom lying;
Perfume, and light, and the blue air inhaling;
Shaking the thin dust from its wings and flying,
And fading like a breath in boundless heav'n:
This is the Butterfly's enchanted being;
Now like desire to which no rest is given,
Which, still uneasy, rifling every treasure,
Returns, at last, to God for purer pleasure.
2. Honour the heart that will not bend
Beneath affliction's blast;

That puts its trust in God, its friend,
For its reward at last.

The New York Sailor Boy.

1. Year after year', both far and near',
Some sail the wide seas o'er';

And never dread', the wave's death beď ́,
Tho' far from any shore'.

High up the reeling mast';

For many a truant child',

Have sadden'd life', 'till', with the strife
Of hope and fear', grown wild";

By their own son forgot`;

Who', o'er the sea', nigh mad with glee,
Blesses his happy lot'.

5. And boys I've seen', who'd never been
Where ships could sail before",

As if in quest of some bird's nest',
Ransack the spars all o'er'.

6. They'd shout as loud', from top-mast shroud,
Which rattl'd in the breeze',

As if at play, on summer's day',

'Mid boughs of apple-trees'.

POETICAL EXERCISES IN PARSING.-LESSON 20.

The other shape,

If shape it might be call'd that shape had none,
Or substance might be call'd that shadow seem'd,
For each seem'd either; black it stood as night,
Fierce as ten furies, terrible as hell,

And shook a dreadful dart;-what seem'd his head,.
The likeness of a kingly crown had on.
When worn with sickness, oft hast thou,
With health, renew'd my face;

And when in sin and sorrow sunk,
Reviv'd my soul with grace.

Where, thy true treasure? Gold says, "not in me;"
And, "not in me," the Diamond. Gold is poor.
The scenes of business tell us what are men;-
The scenes of pleasure, what is all beside.
Thus nature gives us, let it check our pride,
'The virtue nearest to our vice allied.
