CALCULATION.


This word, lssys the Nantucket I'm.
ouirer,) is for ever IN the mouths ei
sume people. A reference to dollars
and cents forms the concluding argu-
men, upon every proposition; all oth'
ar pleas, however reasonable, just, or
necessary dee before the ail-coo4uer'
ing dictas,a, "count the COST!
No. that prudence is to be condemn.

woald always lnculcate. But how
often is the bAsest avari;s INDUCED un-
der the abused name of frusailty; and
how seldom Is the boundary regarded,
which separates genuine discretion In
matters of pecuniary expense, from
downright meanness and the most sor-

Calculation is an opiate which puts

Would that the powers of arithmetic

LINES,
.sJdre,sel 10 a mother on The death Of trOo infants
BY JoAs QUIscY ADAMS.
Sure. 10 the mansions Of the blest,
When infant innocence sscends,
Some angel brighter than the rest
The spotless spirits fight attends
On wings ofecstacy they rise,
Beyond where worlds material roll:
Till some fair sister "ftbe skies
Receives the unpolluted soul.
There at III Almighty Fathers hand,
Nearest the throne Of living light.
Tie choirs Of infan, sersphs stand
And dazzling Shine where oil are bright.
Cbain'd for dresry length ofyears
Down to these elements below,
Some stain the sky born spirit bears,
Extracted from the world o! wo.
That unextinguishsble beam,
With dust uni',d at our birth,
Sheds more dim discolOI'd CLEAN,
The more it fingers on this earth.
Clos'd in this dark abode Of clay,
The stream Of glory family burns,
Nor unobscur'd the lucid ray
To its own native fount returns.
Rut when the Lord Of mortal breath
DEGREES his bounty 10 resume,
And points the silent shaft Of death,
Which speeds an infant TO the tomb.
80 passion fierce, no low desire,
Has quench'd the radiance Of the liitnr
Back to its God the living fire
RSerts, unclouded as il came.
Oh Mary he that soiace thine;
Let hope her healing charm imrart,
And sootiir with melodies divine
The anguish Of mothers heart.
oh think the 6ar'ngs thy love-
Divested Of this earthly clod,
Amid unnumbered saints above,
Bask in The bosom Of their God.
OF their short pilgrimage on earth
Still tender images remain;
Still. sti they bless thee for their birth,
Still flial gratitude retain.
The days of pain the nights Of care,
The bosoms agonizIng stfHe,
The pangs which thou tor them didst bear,
No they forgot them with their life,
Scarce could their germing thought conceive
While in this vale Of tears they dwet,
Scarce their fond sympathy relieve
The sutf'rance thou for them hast icit.
But there the souls perennial flower
Expands in never fading bloom
Spurns at the graves poor transient boar,
And shoots immortal from the tomb.
No weak unform'd idea there
Tolls, the mere promise Of mind;
7 he tide Of intellect aows clear,
Strong, foil. unchanging and rtfn'd.
Each anxious care. each rending sigh.
That wrung for them the parents breast5
D~els on emembrance in the sky,
Amid the rsPtures OF the best.
Der thee with looks Of love they bend,
For thee the Lord Of Life implorc
And Oft from sainted bliss descend,
Thy wounded qnie, to restore:
Oft in the stiffness OF the night,
They smooth the pillow Tor thy bed,
OF ill the morn's retaining light
Still watchlul hover DER thy head.
Iiark in such strains 70 saints employ
They whisper TO Thy bosom peace;
Calm the per,urbed ht art to Joy,
Aud bid The streaming sorrow cease.
Then dry hencefor,h the bitter tear,
Their part and thine inverted see
Thou vert their Guardian angel here,
