LIFE.
( Sacred Classics.—Poetry of 17 th Century.)

Lam-to Abe.. f4.lling, of a star,.
Or as the flights of eagle:: are,
Or like the fresh spring's gaudy hue,
Or silver drops of morning dew,
Or like a wind that chafes the flood, .
Or bubbles.which on water stood—
Even such is man, whose borrow'd light
Is straight call'd in, and paid to-night.
The wind blows out; the bubble dies ;
•
The spring entombed in autumn lies;
The dew dries up; the star is shot;
The flight is past—and man forgot.

MAN'S MEDLEY.
Hark hew the birds dosing,
And woods do sing.
AU creatures have their joy, and man hath his.
To this life things of sense
Make their pretence :
In the other angels have a right by birth :
Man ties them both alone,
And makes them one,
With one baud touching heav'n, with the cther caith.
In soul he mounts and flies,
In flesh he dies :
Ile wears a stuff, whose thread is course and round,
But trimm'd with curious lace,
And should take place
After the trimming, not the stuff and 'ground.
Not that he may not here
Taste of the cheer:
But as birds drink, and straight lift up their heads,
So must he sip, and. think
Of better drink
He may attain to, after he is dead;
But as his joys are double,
So is his trouble.
He bath two winters, other things but one :
Both frosts and thoughts do nip,
And bite his lip.;
And he, of all things, fears two deaths, alone.

Yet ev'n the greatest griefs .
May he relief,
Could he but take them right, and in their ways.
Happy is he, whose heart
Hath found the art
To turn his double pains to double praise,

A YANKEE.DIFFERENcs,yvITHA DISTINCTION--A captain
in the United States navy has been recently tried by Court
" fur conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman."
He was' found of " conduct unbeconiming an officer,"
but not guilty
.of " conduct unbecommiug a gentleman." There
is something ingenious in this distinction, the line of deinarca-
tiou which declares an officer not to be a gentleman being thus
made very broad. We shall begin to think that "my daughter
Funny's" Trollopeions are not taken from studying herself.
