This is the reason, good reader, why the elder of the travelers has told you the story of Blind Rosa. It is a pity; for otherwise you would have read in beautiful poetry, what you have now read in prose. But fortune another time may be more auspicious to you.


I DREAM OF ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL.

BY MISS M. E. ALILSON.

I dream of all things beautiful—

The glad, bright stars above,

As one by one they deck the heavens,

Like angel-smiles of love;
