STANZAS.

Fair forms may feet around thee love,
And lighter steps than mine,
And sWeeter tones may sound, my love,
And brighter eyes may shine
But Wheresoeyer thou dost rove,
Thou wilt not find heart, my love,
SO truly, wholly, thine,
As that which at thy feet is aching,
as Ii IT'S very strings were breaking.
would not see thee glad, my love,
AS erst in happier years,
Yet do not seem SO sad, my love,
Because Of Helen's fears;
Swiftly the flying minutes move,
And though we weep to-day, my love,
Heavy and bitter tears,
There'll be for every tear that stays,
4 thousand smiles in other DAYS.

TEMPER.

The first and most important female quality, is
sweetness of temper. Heaven did not give to the
female sex insinuaton and persuasion, in order to
be surly it did not make them weak, i'll order to
be imperious it did not give them sweet voice,
IN order to be employed in scolding; it did not
provide them with delicate features, that they
might be dis6gured with anger.

Sure to the mansions of the blessed,
When infant innocence asccnds,
Some angel, brighter than the rest,
The spotless spirits fight attends.
On wings Of ccstacy they rise
Beyond where worlds material roll,
Till some fair sister of the skies
Receives the unpoluted soul.
There, at tn Almighty Fathers hand,
Nearest the throne of living light,
The choirs of infant seraphs stand
And dazzling shine, where all are bright
Chain'd, for dreary length Of years,
Down to these clements below,
Some stain the sky-born spirit bears,
Extracted from this world of wo.
That uneXtinguishable beam,
With dust united at our BIRTH
Sheds more dim, discolour'd CLEAN,
The more it fingers here on earth.
Closed in this dark abode of clay,
The stream of glory family burns
MOI uNODSCtd Il, the IuClu ray
To its own native fount returns
But when the Lord Of Mortal breath
DEGREES his bounty to resume,
And points the silent shaft of death,
Which speeds an infant to the tomb,

And soothe with melodies divine,

Diyested Of this earthly clod,
Amid unnumberd saints above,
Bask in the bosom Of their God
OF their short pilgrimage on earth,
Still tender images remain;
Still, still they bless thee for their birth,
Still filial gratitude retain
The days Of pain, the nights care,
The bosom's agonizing strife,
The pangs which thou orthem didst bear,
No they forget them not with I;fc.
Scarce could their gcrnng thought conceive
While in this vale of tears they dwelt
Scarce their fond sympathy relieve
The suff'rance thou for them hast felt
But there the SOULS perennial flower
Expands in neyer-E1ding bloom;
Spurrs at the graves poor transient hour,
And shoots immortal from the tomb
No weak unform'd idea there
