_ 'ANABELUB^ /..: Bt Joss, Gt. Smith. ;Full-thbrty years away -:have.fl6wn,J J /^ Since last I stood beside this stone, —'- .-'-. .WhicK now is old and niossy grown'i "■', I've trode thro' many a changeful year,;. . This desert world in grief and fear ; My heart, like autumn 1 leaves, is sere. Yet, thro' the-mists of time forgot, ' ' Methinks I see a sunny spot, ■ : ' > And there a little rustic cot, .Whose whitened walls so brightly shine^ .; Thro' clusters of the tall hop vine, • -■•-*- And trellices of eglan'iatie. The Summer day is near' its close," • The pine its lengthened shadow throws. The dew is foiling on^tharose, That twineth round the garden- chair, Where rests a man with silvery hair, And lofty brow bemarked with care ; . And by his side a beauteous child, >y With eyes of azure, soft and mild, Weaving a chain of flowrets wild, With which she binds her auburn haii ; J -i The sweet forget-me-not is there, The speedwell and the daisy fair. \ And fragrant rdaes strung betwe"en7 With leaflets mingled, fresh and green, Meet chaplet for a fairy .queen. >••.-.• She had a father onee — but he ■-„ Had perished in the stormy sea j . :.' She never sat upon his knee.: . ; Her .widowed mother vainlyitrieo! The anguish of her grief to hide, And like a flower, she drooped and- died. ; An orphan child was Anabelle * tJ^ Before her infant tongue could tell .The names of those who loved her well. Yet was she reared with tender care, And taught to lisp her earliest prayer; Beside her grandsire's " old arm chair." She was his hope, his joy, his pride, . Sporting and prattling by his sidej X Or bounding o'er the meadows wide. w " Waking the echoes with her glee, Chasing the butterfly anil bee ... .; From flower to flower, from tree to tree. But ere ten years with silent tread, Had o'er her budding beauties sped '- - The roses from her cheek had fled. ~" 7 : "~ ; .™- And soon the little sportive maid, Like blossom, withered and decayed, ~i J And by her mother's side was laid. ; : f E'en yet I hear the solemn knell i That floated sadly down the dell, For lovely, laughing Anabelle. The grandsire, broken-hearted, worn, ■■ His darling from his bosom torn, " ' Was to the lonely churchyard borne. ;,• j And here they elumbar in decay, y ; f The merry child— the grandsire, gray— The mother— all, like dreams, away. Oh! memory- bindeth with a chain My aching, heart and burning brain, To scenes that ne'er come back again..—^ -^. ~ Ptifolic Uotioesr: -7 — rT OST in Tay-street, on Monday last, a: Ladie'a I i Riding Whip.
