Later, we convinced our fellow-passengers of our sanity, by expressing our grateful appreciation of their solicitude; how could they know?—and assurance of our complete recovery.

LOVE’S DESTINY.

Where the gray crag kisses the virgin sky,

And the fledgling eagles half-famished cry,

Where the sun’s kind glance warms the cloud to tears,

And the snow-bank clings to the earth for years;

Where the lichens starve and the sad winds mourn,

There, a host of cupids at eve were born.

They came tumbling out from their rocky nest,

Nor regretful wailed for the rugged breast;
