ravages around US How many-perbaps,
our kindred, have &C made their cold beos
in the grave Of the year, We survive
how long? No doubt We dream oil long
life and prosperity ours, we think, VIII
be perpetual sunsbiHe--tbe beams OF hea-
ven will play around our habitations ane
when the evening OF our days is come, our
sun will 20 down in cloudless serenity.
Pleasing, bat fatal delusion! A few days
will tell the tale OF our DEPARTURE few
more, and our memories will have perish
ed--a few more, and the unwary passen-
ger will tread on our graves, and Know
not that we are there. There is no con-
fidence to be placed in earthly prospects.
! The most splendid monuments OF human
greatness are quickly corrodsd by time,
and all that remains OF their magnihoence
is 3 mass of mighty ruins. Where now
are Carthage, Palmyra and Persepolis
Where are Babylon and Athens and Tyre ?
| The winds have sweat over their remains;
| ivy has wreathed aroun nd the fragments OF
decay-and the solitary raven means un'
disturbed amid their ruins, announcing 10
the world that no pomp of earthly great
ness can survive the desolations Of time.
! To the aged, the season that is now
passing, brings with it sympathies which
mankind perhaps have denied them.
With them, The summer scenes Of life ar
past, with all their follies and pleasures,
and hopes; and they are compelled 10
feel that their winter is near. TO such
the impressions OF autnn.n, though tender
and affecting, are by no means unwelco'ne.
They accord well with the pensiveness
which is usually attendant on the dec i
uing years of life, ami which may well a.
rise from the near prospect OF exchanging
! worlds.
Yet, amid these gloomy reflections, the
pleasing thought arises. that the spring
vii again return The sun OF heaven
will again revisit our al present in0ospita
bic clime-the forest will " bud and bios
som as the rose''--the fields will smile
with verdure--tte fertiiizing showers de-
scend, and the grand animated scenery OF
nature will be renewed, in all the varie-
ties of awfulness and beauty; and we
shall live again. The winter of death
will not annihilate the hopes OF immortal
ity beyond the grave. Oh then, if We
live worthy of that exalted destination, q
scene OF glory will open before US which
no tongue can describe-no heart con-
ceive-and which will pour upon the
transported believer a food of light and
knowledge through the ceaseless ages OF
eternity.

(ByJE B. Tarpan,)
Thou waning vearl thou waning year!
And we have seen thee quicklytiy,
Vision of DAYS, but lately here,
We wake and thou hast hurried by
D. fisful murmnrinss. sadly wild,
1hy dire the suilen winds have sung
Aud winter comes, thy weeping child,
Her leecy mantle DER her flung.
Prophet of ayes! hoarv seer!
Thou vast not seen where symptoms roll
When Aew thy axle char'oteer
I'm noiselsss triumph to It's goal
SIMS burning once now quench' d, no trace
Mark'd of thee, IN inhnrY,
Nor the dim worlds that hang IN space,
Wapt in their own eternity.
l'hon wass-vct mortals know not whence,
Hast been enloy'd-thou art not here,
Thoa'st VANISHED gonc forever hence,
Yet we shall meet thee, deathless year
The chroaicler, mn yearied Time,
Exlltiugly points To the scroll,
Where, deeply srav'd with touch sublime,
Live the long annals ofthe soul.
There d we'll, in characters OF fire,
Corruption's deed and broOding hate;
And, letter there, in language dire,
The mad oppressor views MS late.
There lives the proiigaps just doom,
And his who shar'd the selfish part,
And, there, in never-dying bloom,
The actions of the generous heart.
BEFORE the darklv burning throne,
Time renders up his dreadful seal;
The deeds of men. un clota'd, alone,
The mcstic manuals reveal
,rls fin.sh'd-in heavens chancery,
ANGELS behold it with tear
The scroll, Us given-eternity
Enbosoms the recedmg year.
