MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
JULY 26 . 
ftattiis’ gflTt-falifl. 
CONDUCTED BY AZILE. 
Written for Moore’s Rural New-Yorker. 
“THE LOST STAR.” 
ADDRESSED TO AZALIA ERMIONE. 
The friends of thy youth remember thee still, 
Fair friend, that so dearly we love, 
Through this dark, gloomy vale of misfortune and ill, 
A stranger thou need’st not to rove. 
In the land of thy youth the skies are as blue, 
The sunbeams as bright as of old, 
The foot-prints of Evening are tinted anew, 
And shine with the lustre of gold. 
The murmuring streams send their music still forth, 
And Nature her flower-wreath wears, 
And the beautiful dreams to which they give birth, 
Close up every fountain of tears. 
The deep-running brook by the side of the wood, 
I visit in thoughtfulness now, 
For I fancy I see in the bright -glancing flood, 
The spirits of loved ones below. 
And oh, the emotions that swell in my breast, 
As the night-shades begin to descend ; 
My heart yearns towards them, and longs for their rest, 
The glory that knoweth no end ! 
The heavens above, with their beauteous train, 
Still speak to the sorrowing soul,— 
They speak of the parted— of meeting again— 
Of reaching the heavenly goal. 
But brightest of all in the heavenly host, 
The star thou hast chosen, I greet— 
The beacon of hope—it could not be lost, 
Though thine eye it no longer can meet. 
Though vainly thou gazest, its light to behold, 
Thy spirits need ne’er have a pall on ; 
1 see the bright orb—more precious than gold — 
Azalia, thy star has not fallen ! 
Rochester, July 21,1856. Almiron.

Live for a Purpose. —The secret of all suc¬ 
cess in life, of all greatness, nay, of all happi¬ 
ness, is to live for a purpose. There are many 
persons always busy, who yet have no great 
object in view. They fritter away their ener¬ 
gies on a hundred things, and never accomplish 
anything, because never giving their attention 
to only one thing. They are like butterflies, 
flitting from spot to spot never gaining wealth ; 
while the ant, wno keeps to a certain circuit 
around her hole, lays up stores for winter com¬ 
fort. Such persons are doomed to be dissatisfied 
in the end, if they are not sooner ; for they find 
in the race of life they have been passed by all 
who had a purpose. It is not only the positive 
drones, therefore, but the busy idlers that make 
a blunder of life for the want of a purpose.
