The Beautiful Creole in Nevis.
WRITTEN FOR THE ASTORIA
In. the bright torrid zone and warm glowing
lands
'Where the biue waters break on the coraj
gem'd strands
And the breeze softly signs through the sweet
orange grove
That Nature intended for pleasure and love,
Lived a beautiful Creole in Nevis.
Pale Diana's bright lamp hung aloft in the
sky,
And paled the red glow of the bright firefly.
And the boats on the bay seemed to dance in
the sheen
Of the silvery light, of night's lovely queen,
As she hung o'er the lland of Nevis. .
I sat with a friend, and drank in with 'delight
Each beautiful scene of a tropical night,
And a sweet plaintive strain lent Its charm to
the ear
And hung on the zephyrs, its tones full and
clear,
'Twas the voice of the Creole of Nevis.
I tossed on my couch, and in vain strove to
rest,
A thought strangely sweet, woke a chord in
my breast,
And thin, airy shaped fancy kept busy the
brain
At painting the angel that 'woke the sweet
strain
On that bright Easter-eve in Nevis.
At length, lul'ed to sleep by the murmuring
breeze
That sighed its wild notes through the fan
like palm trees,
And the fresh balmy air, through the tall
lattice borne,
JL dreamily slept, till awakened at morn,
By the sweet singing Creole of Nevis.
.She stood like a statue of marble so fair.
Her shoulders half screened by her long
raven hair,
With a face that would rival an angel of
bliss.
And pale as the muslin she wore in her dress
On that bright Easter morning in Nevis-
(Enraptured I gazed on her beautiful form,
As aerial :is sea-foam whipped up by a stonnf
And her fair bosom heaving with love or af
fright, And modesty shone in the eyes black as night,
Of the lovely young Creole of Nevis.
.She thought I was sleeping ; with half opened
eyes
I motionless lay, not to cause her surprise ;
Then retiring, she noiselessly tripped o'er the
floor
And gracefully swept through the wide open
door,
And I thought I was dreaming in Nevis
' 1 met her again 'neath the pomegranate's
shade,
A mlsche.vious smile on her countenance
played, j
But I guessed by each glance, that she'd fit
fully dart
That cupid had rapped at the door of her
heart
On that bright Easter morning in Nevis.
ay as the flowers that bedeck May-day
1110111,
And bright as the dew that bespangles the
thorn.
And airy and fresh as the sweet morning
breeze
That zephyr-like float oe'r the Carribean seas
To her own native Island of Nevis.
And blithe as the hazel that grows in the vale
With sweet melting eyes when she'd list to
love's tale.
And a red coral lip to invite the warm kiss
With a smile that would tempt an angel from
bliss,
As the tlirall of the Creole of Nevis.
Those bright happy days hold their grip on
my mind,
-Through lifes ruffled se:is, and each varying
wind,
And the freshest green spot on my memory's
record
"When I chisp to my heart, with her own
sweet accord.
The lovely young creole of Nevis.
The Bagged Bard.

jS3The corpse of a business man,
who had never advertised during hib
whole life, whs secured hy one of our
l-Jaslern medical colleges and placed in a
dissecting rcom, where the young would
be doctors went to work on him. They
found him very tough. He had been so
rJose in nil his dealings that the very ai-
s jtfiicsand veins had become, in the latter
jmrt of his life, so contracted that he had
not foryeai-fiijoyed good health. His
heart was black and calloused at the lower
Mid. He also hag n white liver, which
