HAIDEE WANDERING WITH JUAN.

It was the cooling hour, just when the rounded
Red sun sinks down behind the azure hill,
Which then seems as if the whole earth is bounded,
Circling all nature, hushed, and dim, and still,
With the fair mountain-crescent, half surrounded
On one side, and the deep sea calm and chill
Upon the other, and the rosy sky,

With one star sparkling through it like an eye.

And thus they wandered forth, and hand in hand,
Over the shining pebbles and the shells,

Glided along the smooth and hardened sand,
And in the worn and wild receptacles

Worked by the storms, yet worked as it were planned,
In hollow halls, with sparry roofs and cells,
They turned to rest; and, each clasped by an arm,
Yielded to the deep twilight's purple charm.

They looked up to the sky, whose floating glow
Spread like a rosy ocean, vast and bright:
They gazed upon the glittering sea below,

Whence the broad moon rose circling into sight; They heard the waves splash, and the wind so low, And saw each other's dark eyes darting light

Into each other and, beholding this,

Their lips drew near, and clung into a kiss.

STANZAS FOR MUSIC

THERE be none of Beauty's daughters
With a magic like thee;
And like music on the waters

Is thy sweet voice to me:

When, as if its sound were causing
The charmed ocean's pausing,
The waves lie still and gleaming,
And the lulled winds seem dreaming,
And the midnight moon is weaving
Her bright chain o'er the deep;
Whose breast is gently heaving,
As an infant's asleep:

So the spirit bows before thee,
To listen and adore thee;

With a full but soft emotion,

Like the swell of Summer's ocean.

LIFE OF WASHINGTON.

THE LIFE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON, COMMANDER-INCHIEF OF THE AMERICAN ARMY, THROUGH THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, AND THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: BY AARON BANCROFT, D. D.

"General Washington was from his youth devoted to his country; his character therefore cannot be portrayed without bringing into view many important public transactions. It has been the endeavor of the author to display the character of the man who is the subject of the work, by exhibiting in a connected view his actions and his writings; and he has, as far as possible, made this exhibition in the person of General Washington."

In giving the lives of the conspicuous men of any period, it is believed the best history of that period is given; and in this instance, in giving the life of Washington, it is believed to combine with it a very graphic account of the prominent events and struggles of the American Revolution.

The whole is contained in one neat volume, 12mo., illustrated and handsomely bound in cloth.

Although man has the power of abstract thought, and the faculty of reasoning, in a higher degree than woman, yet woman is none the less a rational being, and must, in all the various relations in life, come under the guidance of right reason." 1 vol. large 18mo., bound in gilt and plain bindings.
