some poem8r the best of which is in
praise of Lift wife, on the annlversar1
of her; wedding-day, which was also
her birthday, with a ring;
"Thets Mary. With thwring I wed''
So fourteen years ago I said,
Behold another ring! 'For what?
To wed tiiee o'er again? Why not? . (
With that first ring I married youth,
Grace, beaut)', innocence and truth;
Taste long adinitvd, sense lonjj revcretl4
And all my Molly then appeared ,
If she, by merit since disclosed,
Trove twice tho woman 1 suppose!,
I plead that double merit now,
To jQslify a double vowj 1
Here, then, to-day (with faith as sure.
With ardor as intense as pure,
As.when amid tile rites divine
I took thy trulh mid plighted mine,)
To thee, sweet girl, my second ring
A token and a pledge 1 bring;
JFith this ring I Tredj till death m pare,
Thy riper virtues to inj heart; '
Tliosc virtues which, before untried,
I'he wife has added to the bride) '
These virtues whose progressive elaim,
Endearing wtdlock's very name.
My soul enjoys, my song approves,
For consciences' sake, as well as love's.
And why? They show me every hour
Honor's high thought, affection's power,
Discretion"' deed, sound judgment'

And teach me all things but repentance.

The Yew brief moments of the dance
were like a delicious dream to Jane.
With , his arm around her, holding
