GRATITUDE.

Can fortune ere smile on the wretch
Who is deaf to fair gratitude's call
Can PLEASURE or hatainess dwell
In the breast that is callous to all?
As we'll might We look for the rose
From winters cold bosom to spring,
Or expect from the fields clad with SHOWS,
All the fragrance which autumn can bring.
No, believe me, It's only the breast
Where Gratitude dwells, can enjoy
All the pleasures that life can impart,
And happiness freetfrom alloy.

Whatever may be the ultimate result Of
the several elections in which federal men
