POETRY.

Prom The Charleston Courier.
Although the world no JOY can give,
Like that 1T takes away,
And all our hopes of earth-born bliss
Are visions of day;
Yet there are charms enough in life,
To make existence dear,
When sunny smiles Of happiness
So oft succeed the tear.
Suppose the sun shone always bright
We should not heed its rays;
Our dearest dreams of gay delight
Are fetter'd by delays.
And while We in the sunshine bssk,
And feel its rays warm,
we should not mar our present bliss,
BY thinking of the storm.
Then seize life's flowers while blooming fresh,
As on our path they're She'd
Enough to mourn their fading hues,
When all their bloom has fed.
And though our Castles, BASED os AIR,
May tumble to the dust.
We may finer structure build
In heaven among the just.
