Dr.. Darwin informs us that the reason why
the bosom of il beautiful woman is an object
of such peculiar delight, arises from hence ;
that al our first pleasurablc sensations Of
warmth, sustenancc and rcposc, arc derived
from this interesting source. This theory
had fair run, until some one happened to
reply that all who were brought up by hand
had derived their first fieaSurabfc SENSATIONS
from very different source, and yet that not

=" Oh It's q glorious boom to dc"

Oh It's glorious boon to die,
And calmly take our heaven ward fight
To close the grief distorted eye,
On lifess delusive, sick'ning light;
When friends that smiled have ceased
smile,
And hatred falls from every eye,
And wounded more by grief than guile,
Then tits glorious boon to die.
Oh tits glorious boon tc die,
When Deity beckons from above;
Far from our homes and native sky,
Our kindred, friends, and all we love,
AS Parsons from this being fed,
And sought nobler work on high
As Martyr made his lowly bed
There tits glorious boon to die,
Oh it's glorious boon to die,
When blessings crown the sinking head
When many widow heaves the sigh,
And many an orphans tear is shed
The bread upon the waters strew'd,
Shall meet and cheer the soul on high;
o exquisite beatitude--
Sure It's a glorious boon to die.
lis glorious boon to die,
Up wept by friendships balmy tear,
Unseen by any kindred eye,
And none to throng the passing bier.
If in the mansion of the blest,
Hope lifts her flaming beacon high,
A faithful guide to endless rest,
'Tis then glorious boon to die.
And when this precious boon is mine,
What though no marble mark the spot
The sleeping dust can ne'er repine,
Though unlamented and forgot.
And if some vainly sculptured stone,
Be lifted where my ashes lie,
0 may it bear this truth alone,
That tits a glorious boon to die,

SONG.

Oh never throw thy love away
Upon hart like mine,
The roses leaf, the blue sea-spray,
Would be safer shrine.
The roses leaf will fade when blown,
The spray pass from the sea;
But neither arc so quickly gone
AS love that trusts to me.
For cen if love could touch my heart,
Now free as yonder wave,
II would a meteor fire depart,
Its very birth its grave.
Chains winds, that pass from howerto flower,
And bid them cease to rove,
And then l will believe your power
Even to fix my love.
