By Caroline Bolctes. Never tell me of loving by measure and weight,

 As ones merits may lack or abound; As if love could be carried to market, like skate,

 And cheupened for so much a-pound. lift can--ifyoars can--let them have it who You and I, friend! shall never agree; Pack up, and to market-be off with your ware,

 It'sa great deal too common for me. Do ye finger !--D'ye laugh--Pm in earnest 1 swear,

 But belike oyer hasty in thought; If it suits you to close with my terms as they are,

 Wei and good-hut won't bate jot. You must love newell note the chief arti- cles now,

 Topreciude all mistakes in our pact, And I'll pledge ye unasked and beforehand my VOW,

 To give double for all exact. You must love me--not only through seyil report"

 When it's falsehood you know or divine, But when upon earth can only resort To your heart as voucher for mine. You must love--not my faults, but, in spite of them, me,

 For the very capriees that yex ye- Nay, the more should ye chance, as it's ike ly to see

 'Tis my special delight to pefPies ' sse You must love me, albeit the world l offend With my follies, my failings conceit, While assured (fyou are not, all treaty must That never can stoop to deceit;-- While assured (as you must be, or there, too, we part)

 That were all the world leagucd against you, To loosen one hair of your hold on my heart, Would be more than 'slife's labours'' could

 

 You must love nc, howe'er may take things amiss,

 Whereofyou in all conscience stand clear, And although when you'd fain make 1t up with kiss,

 Your reward be box on the car. You must love me--not only when smiling and gay,

 Complying, sweet-tempered, and civil; But when moping, and frowning, and trow- ard--or say

 The thing plain out--as cross as the devil. You must love me in all moods--in serious ness-sport-

 Under all change of circumstance, too; Apart, or rtogether, ill crowds, or---in short You must love me--because l love you!
