Mu Cover —The following beautiful poetry I learn
ed when a child. Memory, uue to her trust, brought
it fresh to mind not long eiuce. lam not aware that it
i« in print, unless it should be in some of our school Read
er* Please give it place in the Poets’corner You will
observe a discrepancy in the seventh verse, where a
line is omitted. Memory is at fault here. I cannot
supply the other line. I think it does not however de
stroy thesr.iee, nor mar the beautiful sentiment.
Respectfully Yours.

I came, but had passed away.
The fair in form, the pure in mind,
And like a deer 1 stray
Where all are strange but none are kind.
Kind to the worn, the wearied soul
'•’hat panto, that struggles for repose.
Oh that my steps had reached the goal
W here earthly aigha and sorrows close.
have passed o’er me like a dream
That loaves no trace on memory’s page.
I looked around me and 1 aeem
Some reiic of a former age.
