Think of Me.

My love, when breaks the morning mist About the tender eastern sky, When dew-w-t blossoms in the wood Are filled with shy expectancy, And all the happy tuueful birds Burst into songs of wildest glee, As your Sweet eyes unclosed, beloved, Oh, think of me

All naturé seems to foadly speak With sweet. sigbificance of thee ; The sighing breeze, the singing -birds, Tae dreamy murmuring of the sea, Fail in rhythm of sweetest sounds, And softly on my list’ning ear, They whisper thoughts that seem to bring My darling near,

Dear heart, my love o’ershadows thee Invisible as angel’s wings, About the path to thee unknown, With tender, fond protection clings. Lach throb of my trne heart is thine,

Will brother forgive him?’

‘Humph! pretty pale face squaw good. Me not forget her bright eyes. Me forgive him.’

He finished bis repast, and then re- moving his cap from his long dark locks, he took from it three brightly dyed eagle’s feathers, and, with the grace ot a prince presenting a costly gift to a queen, he handed them to Marie, saying:
