Tfeose i oyous liours are pass M away , And many a friend that then was g ^ ay , Within the tonib now darkly dwells , And hears no more those evening bells . And so 'twill be when I am gone ^ That tuneful peal will still ring on , While other bards shall walk these dells , And sing- thy praise sweet evening- hells !

HEAVEN . [ From the Same . ^ This world is all a fleeting show , For man ' s illusion given , The smiles of joy , the tears of woe , Deceitful shine , deceitful flow , — There ' s nothing true but heaven .
And false the light on glory ' s plume As fading * hues of even . And love , and hope , and beauty ' s bloom , Are blossoms gather ed from the tomb , — There ' s nothing bright but heaven .
Poor wanderers of a stormy day From wave to wave are driven , And fancy ' s flash , and reason ' s ray , Serve but to light the troubled way , — . There ^ s nothing calm but heaven .

MEMORY OF OTHER DAYS . [[ From the Same . ] ' Oft in the stilly night , Ere slumber ' s chain has bound me ,
Fond memory brings the lig-ht Of other days around me : The smiles , the tears Of boyhood ' s years , The words of love then spoken , The eyes that shone , How dimm'd and gone ,
The cheerful hearts now broken . Thus in the stilly night , Ere slumber ' s chain has bound me , Sad mem ' 17 brings the light Of other days around me . When I remember all The friends , so linked together , I ' ve seen around me fall , Like leaves in wintry weather ,
I feel like one Who treads alone Some banquet-hall deserted , Whose lights are fled , Whose garlands dead , And ail but he . departed ! Thus in the stilly night , Ere slumber ' s chain has hound me , Sad memVy bring's the light Of other days arouud me .
