I see a little merry maiden, 
"With laughing eye and sunny hair, 
"With foot as free as mountain fairy, 
And heart and spirit light as air; 
And hand and fancy active ever, 
Devising, doing, strivmg still; 
Defeated oft, despairing never, 
Dp springing strong in hope and will.

CROWN OF ROSES.— Virtue 
Oh! the light of Virtue is pure and unfading! 
It hath more esteem than the gems that decay; 
’T will gleam when the chill damps of death are 
invading, 
And light thee and cheer thee along the dark way! 
E. R. H.
