Our life at best is hut dream,
A t. ansient meteor flying:
Whatever we enjoy therein,
Loses It's zeal by dying.
The bliss It gives, tho e'er SO bighe,
With pam and grief is blended;
And whilst it ,litters in the sight,
Our short hved Joy Is ended.
The mind pnrsueS the earth around,
In search of lasting treasure;
But does she ind her LABOR crown'd
With one substantial pleasure
Still anxious and unsatsfied
Vita what she now possesses;
She's pleased, amused, and oft dsrldss
The object she caresses.
The only happiness on earth
To ms poor mortals given,
Is to be born of heavenly birth,
And tast. the JOYS Of heaven.

With mirth let US cherish our hearts.
IT'S prscept by Solomon gi'en,
And cheerfulness sLrely imParts
The temper best fitted for heaven.
Among all the numberless ways
By which folly contrivcs to be "rons'
There - none which more weakness displays
Than wearing yi'age too long
TIL Omnipotent Doner designs
That the gifts of His grace be enjoyed
Hence. he that forever TePlnes,
Had better be better employed
When first was treated ourracc
Th;s Earth tor man mansion yves given,
And hall ,e lind fault with the place
TO which he's allotted by heaven:
IT'S thing, believe, understood
In which every sect is agreed,
This earth was declared to be good,
And SO in the bible We read.
Under Providence, tenants at viii,
fine habitation we nold;
For us to be murmnring still
Is wicked, ungrateful ana ooie'
Yet well-meaning people I've seen,
Who think true religion is shown
By sort OF woe oegone men,
And a whining conventical tone.
ais tr &c, there's season to mourn,
As Solomon Says-ne 'ertheiesS
Our griets should be nanfullv borne,
And It's folly to cherish distress.
A train Of diseases await
On neart that prever Is sad,
And some, from sorrowinS state,
Become irrstrie' ABLY mad.
That reh gion can never be true.
Which bows its disciples " earth,
For ne that has heav'n IN his view,
Has the best of all titles to ml:th.
With mirth then well cherish our hearts,
IFS mandate by Solomon given,
For cheerfulneSs surely lmps'ts
The temper best fitted tor heaven.

TIE HERo'S ORPHAN GIRLS

Oh, lady buy these budding flowers,
For | am cold and wet and weary;
gsther'd them ere break of day,
When all was lonely still and dreary'
And long have sought TO sell them here,
To purchase clothes, and food and dwelling,
For Vsior's wre,ched orphan girls
Poor me, and my young sister Ellen.
An those who tread lies ihornIess way.
In Fortunes golden sunshine basking,
May deem that misery wants not ard,
Because her lips are mute-unasking
They pass aiong--and iftbey gaze,
'Tis with Az eye all hope repelI'ng--
Yet once q crowd OF fatterers fawn'd,
And fortune smiled on me and Ellen.
Oh, buy my flowers they're fair and fresh
As nine and Mornings tears could keep them /;
10 morrow's sun will view them dead,
And shall scarcely live to weep them.
Yet this sweet bud, II nurs'd with care,
soon into tuness would be sweiilng-
And. nurtured by some generous hand,
30 nigh, ny little sister Ellen.
She sleeps within hollow tree,
Her only home--ns leaves her bedding
And I've no food to carry there,
10 soo,he the tears she viii he shedding
Oh that those Wourner's gushing grieis-
The pastors prayer, ana bells sad kneiling,
Shd ibst deep gave, were meant for me,
Ard my poOr little sister Ellen
When we in silence are laid down
In liics lsst, fearless. blessed sleeping,
30 tears will dew our buWnle grave,
Save those of pnyng heavens own weeping.
Unknown we iive--unknown must die
NO tongue the mourniul tale be telIug
q. two young broken hearted girls
Poor Mary and her sister Ellen!
No one has bought Of me today,
and night winds now are sadly sghngs
And I, like these poor droopng flowers,
Unnoticed and unwept Am dying
NV sou, IL struggling 20 he free
It ios,hs i,s wre,ched, earthly dwelling
NJ limbs refuse TO bear heir load
Oh God protect lone orphan Ellen!
