Language — UNNOTICED AFFECTION. 
He came too late ! neglect liad tried 
Her cpnstancy too long ; 
Her love had yielded to her pride, 
And the deep sense of wrong. 
She scorned the offering of a heart 
That lingered on its way, 
Till it would no delight impart, 
Nor spread one cheering ray. 
1 E. Bogart* 
O, no! my heart can never be 
Again in lightest hopes the same; 
The love that lingers there for thee 
Hath more of ashes than of flame. 
Miss Landon. 
Unhappy he, who lets a tender heart, 
Bound to him by the ties of earliest love, 
Fall from him by his own neglect, and die, 
Because it met no kindness. 
Pebcival. 
Wilt thou sit among the ruins, 
With all words of cheer unspoken, 
Till the silver cord is loosened, 
Till the golden bowl is broken ? 
A. C. Lynch.
