 Which fringe the edge of ReaSOn's water, aA He saw cherub girl at play, v And knew the ro@p flor Reasons daughter "Come hither, hither, blooming child ee. Long have sought to have thee near me: S Let's roam among those roses wild I've not nOtmy bOw--you need nOtisar me-" As Love pronounced the maiden's name, s. From his bright wing he pluck'd feather Pleased with the profer'd toy she came,

 And hand in hand they roam'd together. AtIenetIl there rose tempest wild,

 Though Reason thought twas not unpleasing; But storms scarce felt by Reasons child, To gracile Love appear'd. oh freezing! "Now screen me from this icy air! My wings are ali too wet for flying! Oh, take me to that bosom fair 1''-

 Said Love to Reason, softly signing And nesting up to Reason's form, Spread his chiil wing on Reasons shoulder And this is why, as Lore gro,os acavzn,

 Reason, they say, gro'cs ai'Oays colder. The Zephyr now rode down the air, z And kissd the rain-drops from the crosses; And Love unbraided Reasons hair,

 And dried his wings with Reason's tresses. But both grew faint and weary soon- "Reason," said Love, "the choice is ours; Let's stay henea,h this silver moon. uste. And sleep tonight among the flowers" Reason replied, with dropping head, N And pausing meath weeping willow, They made soft carnation bed, r5sssst Aud plac'd rosebud for pillow. But, lest another storm might rise, a ofwhich they'd have too lt.le warning, One was to watch the charming skies, .-- And one to sleep, by turns, till morning. Thus each awhile in sumber lay; Each watch'd tie others couch of roses, And this is why they always say

 When LOoe a,Sakes, Reason reposes. a West Point. S8@ HARP OF THE ISLE.
