SUNRISE.

See the streaks of daylight swim
On the beaving ocean brim!
Now the waves begin to flow
With warmer, ruddier glow.
Now the gathering lustre shines
On the loftiest mountain pines,
And the far off village spires
Redden in the kindling fires.
There he bursts upon the sight
Wrapt in flames intensely bright!
Milder now the cold wind blowsi
All is waking from repose,
Now the laborer's steps once more
Issue from the opening door,
And the busy echo sounds
From the woods and rising grounds.
God hath made the sun to shine
Image his love divine;
Thus his rays OF mercy fall
Literally alike on all;
Thus he lights our happy way
To the labor of the day,
And when all our cares are past
Leads us up to heaven at last.

THE RISING MOON.
The moon is up! how calm and slow
She wheels above the hill
The weary winds forget to blow,
And all the world lies still.
The way-worn travellers with delight
The rising brightness see,
Revealing all the paths and plains,
And gliding every tree.
1t glistens where the hurrying stream
lis little ripping heaves;
II falls upon the forest shade,
And sparkles on the leaves.
So once on Judah's evening hills
The heavenly lustre spread;
The gospel sounded from the blaze,
And shepherds gaz'd with dread.
And still that light, upon the world
In guiding splendor throws;
Bright in the opening hours of life,
And brighter at the close.
The waning moon in time shall fail
To walk the midnight skies;
But God hath kindled this bright light.
With fire that never dies.

ODE TO SPRING.

BENEATH the leahess oak stood,
And listened to the moaning blast
The roaring of the distant food,
Told OF the storm that now was past.
When from the south advancing slow,
A form of beauty caught my eye,
saw her tears in torrents flow,
And from her lips burst many sigh.
Twas SrnING-sle viewed with shrinking fear
The frozen stream, the barren plain,
The joyess vale, and forest drear,
Oppressed beneath the 1'yraDt's reign.
And oft she stopt and looked behind,
With wshful eye to southern fields,
Where vines are round the green oak twined
And every grove IFS music yields.
But fate's commands must all obey,
And still advanced the weeping fair,
While every sigh that forced its way,
Poured heavenly fragrance on the air.
And soon she noticed with surprise,
That whereso'er her tear drops fell,
Straightway the sweetest flowers would rise,
And bloom as though by magic SPELL
Pleased with the sight she raised her eyes,
That long were fixed upon the ground,
No tempest foul deiormed the skies.
But peace and beauty smiled around
The frozen stream, the barren plain,
The joyless vale, the forest .dfear,
Had lost the gloom of Winters reign,
And left the renovated year,,
With soft delight tine change she viewed,
And heard sweet warblels sing their loves:
Tripping the dew her course pursued,
And bounded light through Wales and groves :
Nor knew herself to be the power,
That clothed with joy each hill and dale,
Gave health and sweetness TO the hour,
And all its fragrance to the gale.

THE WIFE.

How sweet to the soul Of man tsays Hierocles)
is the society Of beloved wife When wearied
and broken down by the labors Of the day, her en-
dearments sooth, her tender cares restore him.
The sollctudcs and anxetes, and the heaviest mis-
fortunes of life are hardly to be borne by him who
has the weight of business and domestic cares at
the same time to contend with. But how much
lighter do they seem, when, after his necessary av-
ocations are over, he returns to his home, and
finds there partner of all his griets and troubles,
who takes for his sake her share Of domestic labor
upon her, and sooths the anguish Of her an'cipa-
ton. A wife is not, she is falsely represented
and esteemed by some, burden or sorrow 10 man.
No: she shares his burdens, and she aleviatcs his
sorrows: for there is difficulty SO heavy OF in
supportabe in life, but may be surmoun'ed by
the mutual abors and tine affectionate concord Of
that holy partnership.
