JAPAN ROSE — Beauty is not your only attraction. 
A woman’s face, with Nature's own hand painted, 
Hast thou, the master-mistress of my passion, j 
A woman’s gentle heart, but not acquainted 
"With shifting change, as is false woman’s fashion; 
An eye more bright thah-theirs, less false in rolling, 
Gilding the object ■whereupon it gazeth; * * # 
And for a woman wert thou first created, 
Till Nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting. 
Shakspeare.

LABURNUM. — Forsaken. 
Can you forget me ? This is vainly tasking 
The faithless heart, where I, alas! am not. 
Too well I know the idleness of asking — 
The misery— oh, why am I forgot? 
The happy hours that I have passed while kneeling, 
Half slave, half child, to gaze upon thy face — 
But what to thee this passionate appealing, — 
Let my heart break, — it is a common case; 
You have forgotten me! 
Miss Landon.
