THERE WAS A TIME. 
BY 3. C. MILLER. 
There was a time, there was a time, 
When music held Ihe golden key, 
To ope the prison of my heart, 
And set its captive feelings free. 
Then would my leaping pulses fly, 
And fancy mount on starry wiugs, 
To hear the sunny music-rain 
Shook from the viol's trembling strings. 
There was a time when birds and flowers, 
And warbling brooks and Silver streams 
Could thrill my youthful heart with joy, 
I,iko that we prove in blissful dreams. 
Then X was glad when Spring blew o’er 
The waking earth with balmy breath. 
And sad when Autumn came, and bore 
The summer’s glory down to death 1 . 
There was a time when Love, which comes 
To every heart, and spurns control, 
Waved o’er my head its silver wing, 
And stole in music to my soul. 
Then Night put on a brighter crown 
Of sapphire gemmed with burning stars, 
And rapture swell’d till earth and heaten 
‘‘Seemed drawing their dividing bars." 
Those times are past: alas, poor heart! 
Which Love and Beauty thrill no more. 
But like a tempest-driven bark 
Lies wrecked upon a desert shore. 
The music that of yore 1 loved, 
Breathes sadly from each wailing string; 
It sheds a sadness o’er my soul, 
Whose echo is the song I sing.

THE SUGAR PARTY. 
BY J. T. TROWBRIDGE. 
Sugar Parties, in the town of C-, have 
from time immemorial been accounted more 
sugar party over the river, and now everything 
was arranged exactly as she desired. 
And Eliva was very happy, until about three 
o’clock on the important day. About that 
time an incident occurred that, threw her into 
the utmost confusion. Eliva wished the sugar 
party had never been thought of. 
To explain the reason of this: Eliva Nelby 
was a young lady of lofty pride. Not only did 
she account herself the belle of the town ot 
C-. but having twice or thrice visited rela¬ 
tives residing in Philadelphia, she had become 
ambitious of fashionable manners, and prided 
herself on her knowledge of the beau monde. 
Her proper sphere, she felt convinced, was ac¬ 
complished society; but believing_ in the ne¬ 
cessity of imitating Homans in tlieir own do¬ 
minions, she tolerated country people, and con¬ 
descended to patronize the simplicity of their 
manners when in their midst. 
And Eliva could enjoy herself with her rural 
friends exceedingly well too; and she anticipa¬ 
ted as much pleasure as anybody from the pro- 
% posed sugar party. Hut at just three o’clock 
—how inexpressibly provoking!—the arrival 
of an unexpected visitor produced the effect at 
which I have already hinted. 
That visitor was her cousin Lawrence, from 
the city—her rich, handsome, accomplished, 
desirable cousin, who had come to spend a 
week with his country relatives in sugar time. 
At any other time Eliva would have been 
delighted with the high honor which she had 
so long desired in vain. At no other time 
could she have been so utterly dismayed! Al¬ 
though, after she had hastily changed her dress 
to meet him, the young gentleman greeted 
her with easy familiarity, she thought it was 
only because he happened to be partial to her; 
and firmly believing him to be the slave to 
etiquette, that she so much admired, she shud- 
v dered at the thought of his disgust should lie 
ft' tv witness the “ vulgarity ” of the country people, 
+ with whom she would be obliged to associate 
that night! 
After Lawrence had been introduced into 
the “ best room,” Eliva, all flushed and flurried 
with excitement, poured the turbulent lears 
into the stupid ear of the stoical Sam. 
“ What will he say—when the folks come?” 
.. have she exclaimed.
