Stiche

BY MRS. ELLIS,

AUTHOR OF “WIVES OF ENGLAND," ETC.

“Poetry has been to me its own exceeding great reward.' It has soothed my afflictions, it has multiplied and refined my enjoyments; it has endeared solitude ; and it has given me the habit of wishing to discover the good and the beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me."-COLERIDGE.
