TIE TRIALS OF VIRTUE.

Placed on the verge Of youth my mind
Life's opening scene surveyed;
viewed its hills OF various kind,
Afflicted and alriad.
But chief my fear the dangers moved,
That virtues path enclose;
My heart the wise pursuit approved,
But o, what tolls. oppose
For see, ah see, while yet hersways
With doubtful step Ftread,
A hostile world its terrors raise,
Its snares delusive spread,
o! how shall I, with heart prepared,
Those terrors learn to meet
How from the thousand snares to guard
My inexperienced feet ?
AS thus unused, oppressive sleep
Soft o'er my temples drew
Oblivion's veil. The WARY deep,
An object strange and new,
Before me rose on the wide shore
Obseryant as stood.
The gathering stoims around me roar,
And heaye the boiling flood.
Near and more near the pillows rise;
Fen now my steps they lave;
And death to my affrighted eyes
Approached in every wave.
What hope, or whittier 10 retreat
Each nerve at once unstrung,
Chill fear had fetiered fast my feet,
And charmed my speechless tongue
feel my heart within me die;
When sudden to my car
A voice descending from on high, a
Reproved my erring fear.
What though the swelling surge You see
