FOR TnR .ENQUiRKk. YOUTHFUL EXPECTATION BLASTED. lsaw youth with glossy hair, His bright eye shining as tI,s tn6rD; His cheeks we're Faddy, red aud fair, . And grace was in his chiid4like forns. He saw thesnOws begin to melt, .. And wasCh'd the yerGaT suns return, And in hfb beating bosom feIl

 His heart wi,ls yOulhfaI ardor burn. "And now," he said, ''tEe birds wiIl'come, And sweetly sing to me agaiS, And then the 6eds shall Oe my home,

 My couch shat be the grassy plain. "I then will rise al earliest dawn > To sport with sunbeams all ihe day., e AndI will dance upon the lava, -- And lisiea to the blue-birds lay. 'tI'iI form my seat tn summer bowers,

 For there the muses love to dwell; And weave me wFeaihs of moanlai0-ilossers Wiill those that bloom ir yOnder deIl.' Thus said, across the velvet lawn

 The youth with joy and gladness sprang, But soon the bow Of Death was drawn, And in his heart mortal pang. His transient life was but span,

 Aud ihHs his race was quickly run, And almost ere his course began, , .-. The grave had all his beauties won. Litchfeld, March 8, 1884. RURAL BARD.
