They stood within a cnrtain's shade,
Apart from all, and thus he spake:
Sweet cousin, wouldst thou know the maidf
For whom my fondst wishes wake!"
A moment glowed her youthful cheek,
A.moment flashed her timid eyes,
In mute reply—she dared not speak—
Alas, how soon her sweet hope dies!
"I'll lead thee to her— yonder, dearest!"
He took her hand, 'twas marble cold; [est?
They crossed the hall: "What is't thou fear
Look up, Carille—my love behold!"
With sudden pride, she dashed aside
The curls that hid her drooping brow?
M I welcome heri" she proudly cried,
And raised her eyes—what sees she now?
No high born dame, to mock her shame,
No rival, robed in rich array;
Back to her cheek the blushes came,
And swiftly rose her pulse'B play,
Before her stood, in simple guise,
Reflected by a mirror bri^it,
Her own slight form!—her own dark eyes
Gave back her gaze of wild delight!

JUST I'UDLISHKD No. 1 of the American
edition of ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL
While venturing this step in the universal march
of periodicals, let it be undeistood tlia' I am not
anxious to declare myself a menl* 1 Joan of Arc,
beating special mission to save the people in their
liolv war against ignorance and wrong. 1 simply
prepare a plain feast where the viands will be of my
own clioosing and some of my own dressing. I
hope if what I provide be wholesome aud rel'°ii
ins. 1 shall have h host of friends at my bo..rd
whose kind words and ri-eerfnl encouragement
will kéep me in a proud and honorable position at
the head the table.
I have irfen loo long known to those whom I
address to feel strange in addressing them. My ear
liest rhymes, written with intuitive impulse before
hi -kiiied experience or politic judgment could die
■ale their tendency, were accepted and responded
to by Ihose whose good word is a "tower of
strength " The llrst active breath of nature that
swept over my heartstrings awoke wild hut earnest
melodies which 1 dotted down in simple notes.—
When I found that others thought the tune worth
learning—when I heaid my siiainr hummed about
the sacred altar# of domestic fires.ues, and saw old
men. bright women and young children, scanning
my ballad strains, then was I made to think that my
burning desire to pour out tny soul's measure of
music was given me for a pmpose. My young
bosom throbbed with rapture, for my feelings met
with responsive echoes from honest and genuine
humanity, and tbe çlory of Heaven seemed par
tially re« - »«led when i discovered tnat I held power
dter the aifec'ions of earth.
The same spirit which prompted my first at
tempts will mark my present one. What I have
done has foiiP.J generous support; "ue trust that
what I may do will still mee .he hind hand uf help.
I have full confidence in my friends, and believe if
I offer them the combinaiion of utility and amuse
ment "bey will freely take the wares I bring, and
not thiiik worse of me for mixing freely with 'hem
in the market place of activity and labor.
1 am anxious to give my feebie aid to the gigantic
struggle for intellectual elcaiion now going on.
and fliiiï my energies and will into a cause where
my heart will zealously animate my duly.
It is too true that there are d«>use clouds of igno
rance yet to be dis-ipated—huge mountains of error
yet to be removed—but, there is a stirring develop
ment in "the mass" which only requires steady
and free communion with truth to expand itself in
tc that enlightened and practical wisdom on which
ever rests the peifection of social and political civ
ilization; and I believe that all who work in the
field of literature with sincere desite to »ave the
many by arousiog genuine sympa''ft;es and educa
tional tastes, need make little profession of their
service, for "the people ' have sufficient perception
to thoroughly estimate those who are truly 'with'
and "for' them.
I only ask a trial. I wiil gi»e the best my judg
ment can offer from theco-operal ion of healthy and
vicrorous talent and my own continued efforts.
