lINFELICE."
Written for Fisherman & Fabmer.
My love dwelt in a sunny clime.
Where roses bloomed and souir-birda
trilled,
And rich Golconda's deepest mine,
A million times emptied and filled.
Could not outshine her sparkling eyes,
Naught to one tres cf her dark hair.
Nor could the softest summer skies
Unfold a flower half so fair
As those upon her cheek and lips,
And ever on her finger tips,
My love was so beyond compare,
Ah ! she was so beyond compare.
Nor could the lissome, swift gazelle
Dance lighter long the moonlit lea,
Thau she attuned to rise and swell
Of terpsichorean melodv:
Iler voice, the music of the lute
O er waters at the sunset hour
Surpassing; tender, soft and sweet
As zephyrs from a lotus bower;
And wnen Pi.tUmn.J ua
My love was 60 beyond compare.
My love she loved me well and true,
And told me when she would be mine;
And I could wait, for well I knew
Tho stars would ever fail to shine,
Would cease to roll the ocean blue.
No more come seed and harvest time,
As soon as I could once forget
Her brilliant eyes and curls of jet,
Hpr rosj' cheeks and hand so fair,
My love wai so beyond compaie.
Methinks I hear again the bells,
From up in old St. Matthew's tower,
King out the merry wedding peals
For my true love's own bridal hour.
The hour passed! ray love wr.s w.'d.
My fair, sweet love beyond compare,
Thi orange blossoms crowned her head
And mingled with her raven hair,
But was she happy? oh ! was she?
She wed not ms! alas! not me.

should be familiar with those titles.

MOVING SOUTHWARD.
From Baltimore Journal of Commerce
The tide of emigration is rapid 1
setting from the North ;nd West in
the Sou h. People have grown tired
of the buzzards which cause such
gre it suffering, so many deaths and
such immense financial loss, and they
are gradually awakening to the fact
that in the South there are ndvan
tages scarcely dreamed of in their
oft n snow covert. d homes. Fanners
who can work oniv about six :no V-.s

dozen Southern States their ou'door

THE FISHERY MUDDLE.

Fishing Association, has taken strong :
ground aga ns the Fisheries Treaty
and opposes free fish tooth and n-til.
Trie fishermen, he contends, ask j
neither subsidy nor boni.tv, but sim
