TO SPRING.
BY WILLIAM RAY, author of volume of Poems recently

WILLIAM RAY, author of volume of Poems rece
published
So swect--so purc--so calm and bright,
Thy beauteous countenance appears,
Thou must have sprung from heavenly Light
Been born Of some celestial spheres
Clothed BY rainbow richly gay.
And a,rsed by yondcr miihy.Way
At Thy descent creation smiles
Nay--hills and vaes laugh and sing
The rivers Ike thousand Niles,
Their ferlilizng tribute bring,
And clap their hands, with Joy TO see
The world from death-like winter free.
Yet of, methinks, see thee grieve,
For thou hast dark and dismal hours
Al moru--at noontide-and at eve
Weeping in dew-drops or in showers,
AS if thy swelling heart would burst
In floods, to quench ali natures thirst.
But cheering sun beams soon disPel
The cloudy sorrows OF thy face;
And on its smiling features dwell
The bloom OF beauty--charin OF grace
The feathered minstrels chaunt their Laws,
In wild-dey praise.
TO Spring, the bird of heavens own blue
Her feeble anthem pours along
Of bolder notes and brighter hue,
Myriads of warbcrs catch the song.
While grazing beasts in hoarser strains.
Roar reclamation from the Plains.
There's not on earth--there's not in air
creature by the Almighty made,
That feels not--owns not--sees not there.
His bright benefccnce displayed
Creative isdcm-mercy--power--
Glow in the skies-tall in the shower.
Nature iuanimate--if such
lii vast creation can be found,
Unes to show his love as much,
And spreads his mighty wonders round.
As those possessed of living souls,
Where thought expands, and vision rolls.
The hutnbles flower that decks The vale
The gloomest cypress Of the grove
The breath OF heaven their leaves nhale,
And whisper back that " God is love.n
Streams speakhis praises as they flow,
And winds soft hallelujahs blow.
But nai,--God's mage--where art tIlot~s
Lost in ,he' worlds bewidering nazea
Come forh--a grateful heart avow,
And Join the yernal song of praise
The bounteous Lord of Lords adore
And King ofKings--foreyermore.
she floods clap their hands-Tsclaia.

Sweet bud OF comfort in whose face
Her sorrowing eye delights to trace,
Ihro' every feature, opening fair,
An image Of Thy father there
All gentle germ OF Joy unborn;
Pale beam of an DER Swallowed mornp
How shall thy mothers soul express
Her hope, her fear, her soft distress,
As bending DER thy Graded form,
She dcpreca life's fatal storm
And prays with all a parents fears,
Ior blessings on thy early years.
An babe beloved, condemned to bloom,
a qowrct on Thy iathcr's tomb;
Unmindful thou that sorrows power,
Hath marked thee from Life's earliest hour;
Wreckess Of many bitter tear
That flowed upon thy fathers bier;
And many briny torrent shed,
Upon thine own unconscious head;
Vet while Thy little cheek hath prest,
Thy hapless mothers throbbing breast,
No tongue could urge plea like thine,
To sooth breaking heart like mine;
Pour through the breast So sweet charm,
Ard cen despair's fell pang disarm.

Or old, O God, thine own right hand
A pleasant vine did plant and train,
Above the hills, DER all the land,
Il sought the sun, and drank the rain.
Its boughs like goodly cedars spread,
Forth to the river went the root;
Perennial yerdure crowned its head,
Ii bore, in every season, fruit.
That vine is desolate and torn,
lis scions in the dust are laid;
Rank DER the ruin springs the thorn,
The wild boar wallows In the shade,
Lord Cod of Hosts, thine ear incline,
Change into songs thy peoples fears;
Return, and visit this thy vine,
Revive thy work amidst the years.
The plenteous and continual dew
filthy rich blessing here descend;
SO shall thy vine its leaf renew,
Till DER the earth its branches bend,
Then shall it flourish wide and far,
While realms beneath its shadow rest;
The morning and the evening star
Shall mark its bounds from east to west.
So shall thine enemies be dumb,
Thy banished one no more enslaved,
The tulness of the Gentiles come,
And Israel's youngest born be saved.

LMINGToN, TUESDAY, APRIL, 1872:
EXPERIMENTATION.

Ihou'rt art growing old, thy head is gray,
Lie, like spectre, gldes away
The evening shades are gathering fast,
The fleeing day will soon be past.
Thus on the verge of Iife's decline,
8 be solemn recollection mime"
Review the hours for ever gone
The hour Of death comes fastening on.
All! has improvement, conscience, say,
Kept pace with life's advancing days
Have all the hours thou hast enjoyed,
10 the best purpose been employed
How much has passed in airy dreams,
III idle, visionary schemes?
But though this time was spent amiss,
How much was spent much worse than this
Has not thy breast with anger burned,
And i'll for III have Oft returned?
Nay, hast thou not misunderstood,
And evil hast returned for good?
Hast thou been thankful to that Power
Who saved thy life in dangers hour?
With blessings who has crowned thy daysp
Say what returns Of grateful praise2
When he chastised, think hast thou then
Submissive 70 his Christening been.
Say, dldst thou not aloud repine,
When Heaven had crossed some fond design
Or if thy speech had been restrained
Has not a secret murnuring panied?
Has envy ne'er thy breast annoyed
At good which others have enjoyed?
Hast thou been kind 10 all thy friends,
Not seeking merely selfish ends
And hast thou, from thy early youth,
Adhered 10 plain and simple trulhs
Were all thy dealings strictly just,
And faithful always to thy trust?
Have those who wstch'd thee never found
Thy footsteps on forbidden grounds
Hsst thou been thankful for that light
Which Heaven hath shed DER natures night
Hast thou the gospel rightly priced,
And ne'er its sacred truths despised?
Say, hast thou kept thy heart from sin,
Aas all been pure and right within?
Dids thou in secret always be,
AS seeing Him, who seeth thee?
The past reviewed with solemn care,
VIII call for penitence, and prayer
To Him alone who can forgive,
And bid the pentent to live.
