Faith And Love.
FAITH AND LOVE .
X LOVE thee—need I say it now ? - * - Not for the eye of heavenly blue , Not for the fair transparent brow Which azure streams meander through , The roseate cheek , the raven curls That round the breathing marble dance For those adorn a thousand girls
Who scarce attract my passing glance ! Though thine is beauty ' s fairest flower , And all the magic she imparts , It is not that which gives thee power To wind into my heart of hearts ! I love thee for thy gentle
mind—Where thought of evil hath no place , Thy grateful heart , thy feelings kind , Thy modesty ' s bewitching grace ; Thy pure affection ' s welcome rush , That laves my fevered soul in bland Refreshmentlike the fountain ' s gush
, To Arab 'mid the burning sand ! 0 may the peace of heaven be thine , Sweet Gertrude ! be what may my lot ; When life and thee I must resign , Remember—yet lament me not
; E ' en then be happy in the thought That thou hast loved me to the end , That thou hast been the boon I sought—A chosen and a faithful friend .
After All.

Though situated in a rather busy thoroughfare , it had few visitors to pull the shining brass knob which communicated with the hall bell .

" The owner of the picturesque ivy-grown Manville Villa was , as we have remarked before , a quiet , comfortable-looking little man , though occasionally choleric .
