THE FAIRY AND HER LOVER. 
A SONG — BY \V. W. SHAW. 
Oi*CE when a summer day was dying. 
Purple tinted cloudlets flying. 
Wandered I where waves were dashing. 
In the golden sunset flashing, 
D.ishing on the shore. 
Dashing, flashing, moaning, sighing. 
Sighing, " ncvermort 
I gazed upon Ae glowing ocean. 
Silently, and without motion. 
Till methought a fairy, riding 
In a time-worn bark, came gliding. 
Gliding near the shore. 
Gliding onward, sadly sighing. 
Sighing “ nevermort." 
And as that fairy form came nearer. 
Sounded Uien that sad voice clearer. 
And it said, “ Oh ! lost forever, 
I shall find thee dearest, never! 
Lost forever more." 
Thus she passed me sadly sighing. 
Sighing, " nevermoTt.'^ 
Oft I’ve wished I might discover 
Who was she, and who her lover. 
But the sullen waves keep dashing. 
In the golden sunlight flashing. 
Dashing on the shore. 
And will answer but with sighing. 
Sighing, " nevermort.”

CHARADE. 
[Selected by M. B., for the Rural New-Yorker.] 
PART FIRST. 
To Kings, (iueens, and Einiierors, I am not known, 
Still in majesty always befriend them, 
And that’s little more than “a jest” you will own. 
Were it not for the aid which I lend tliem. 
I’m ne’er with llie bridegroom, nor yet witli tlie bride 
Tbougli the groomsman is forced to admit me, 
But wiili the bride’s maidens I claim the nigh side. 
And “ dear creatures” they always permit me. 
Matilda, Maria, and sweet Marianne, 
Can, by using abbreviates, rout me; 
Still I’ve this consolation, wherever I nm, 
“ Dear Emma” sAe can’t do williout me. 
Though shunned by all science, to learning not bound, 
Alma Mater gives me double station,— 
And altliough never entered at College, am found 
To partake in each matriculaiioii. 
You’ll not see me in aught that’s of evil design,— 
If you think I’m too pure you miscalculate. 
For I’m present in all that’s malicious, malign. 
Yet always in all tliat’s immaculate. 
I’m not in the fountain, tlie flood, or the lake, 
And though seen “’tis reversed” in the stream; 
Of tlie sea or the ocean but slightly partake— 
Still am ever in ail things marine. 
Although head of “ the Magi,” no wisdom assume, 
Since knowledge and judgment deny me, 
And thougli neither in odour, nor scent, nor perfume, 
Each aroma is perfected by me. 
PART SECOND. 
For me search In vain on fair Botany’s face,— 
Disowned by both sliamrock and clover. 
Yet with the “ trifolium” I take the first place. 
In fact, in lAat class the prime mover. 
I know nought of broils, in contention not found, 
Tliouglj wherever there’s strife I am tliere; 
And altliough I am never by victory crowned. 
Still in every triumph I share. 
Ne’er guilty of covin, know nothing of fraud. 
In dislioncsty fear no detection — 
Am ne’er charged with roguery, at liome or abroad, 
Y’et in trickery, arn seen to perfection. 
E-xempted am I from all sorrow'and woe. 
No grief e’er brings with it prostration; 
But ttiere is not a trial which I do not know 
And am always in much tribulation. 
.\t all merry meetings, confusedly I’m seco, 
But ne’er at those purely convivial; 
In things of no moment I am not, I ween — 
The foremost in all that are trivial. 
PART THIRD. 
To each periodical I am unknown, 
YVlietlier annual, weekly, diurnal — 
Friend Pat has just whispered us, "Sure, you’re in one,” 
"And what’s tliat?” —" Why, the monthly Journal.” 
I am neither in Sol, nor Luna, I’m told, 
E.xcept in the Moon, pre-nameJ Honey— 
And although in no coin, wlietlier silver or gold. 
Still you’ll find me, when’er you raise money.
