And It's tmsel and glitter with pleasure behold;

But the coxcomb may futter and dangle and play,
And the dangler who visits and travels and roams
May have houses and lands butunwo rthy of Holmes

Who'ye the ardour of youth and the wisdom of age,
And the mariner toss'd amidst pillows and foans

And tho others have castles and turrets and domes,
Give me but cot, and the sweetness of Holmes

AUTUMN.

The winds have now wild AID pensive tone,
That tell the heart of loneliness and gloom
Dark clouds are hanging in the sky blue zone.
And summer beauties now fling off their bloom.
Decays great mantle silently is thrown
O'er Natures face. But, Autumn thou canst
fill
With hallow'd thoughts the bosom, sad and lone,
For all thy charms are solemn, pure and still.
4 soft and twilight loveness is thine;
And ere the trees their "leaty honors" she'd
Iher fading robes, their autumn dresses shine
With changing hues of yellow, green and red.
We gaze upon them; and the tear is starting
For they still like our joys-scem brightest when
departing.

Thy mercy in the azure hue
of sunny brightness breaking through
There's nothing bright, above, below,
From flowers that bloom, TO stars that glow,
Bat in its light my soul can see
Some features Of thy Deity
There's nothing dark, below, above,
But in its gloom trace thy love.
And meekly wait that moment, when
Thy touch shall turn all bright again

l'LL NEVER BE MARRIED.

(Fr0ns BOrSri'lg's .3lcient Poetry Of Spain.
No no III never married be,
But love, and love,-and vet be free.
| will not wear a captive's chain,
Nor own a master they who wed,
First go to jail, and then remain
In everlasting letters led,
can't imagine what they gain.
No no I'll never married be,
But love, and love,-and yet be free
A wife can't out of window look
Without husbands grumbling loud
Each slips recorded in book
won't submit | own Pm proud,
Too proud such busy knaves to brook,
No no 'Il never married be,
But love, and love, and yet be free.
Unmarried, command at will /;
And youths press forward to obey,
find them glad and grateful still,
And who so prompt to serve as they
Will lords brides desire fulfil
No no; I'll never married be,
But love, and love,--and yet be free.
| often see a married pair
know they curse their luckless fate;
I've seen woman tear her hair,
And of connubial blessings pirate;
Yet daily sink beneath despair
No no I'll never married be,
But love, and love, and yet be free.

FROM MooRE's SACRED MELODIES.
The turf shall be my fragrant shrine
My temple Lord, that arch Of thine;

And silent thoughts my constant prayers
My choir shall be the moonlight waves,
When murmuring homcwArd to their caves,
Or when the Stiffness of the sea
Fen more than music, breathcs Of thee
I'll see, by day, some glade unknown,
All light and silence Ike thy throne
And the pale stars shall be, at night,
The only eyes that watch my rite.
Thy Heaven. on which It's bliss to look,
Shall be my pure and shining book,
Where | shall read, in words of fame,
The glories Of thy wond'rous name.

There scarcely ever was finer compliment pa

wife, who was always praising her husband
"You are always making god Of your spouse.

And you adore him because he adores you.

FANCY AND SENSE.

Fancy and Sense are man and wife,
Ergo they disagree
In dreams Of bliss she spends her life,
In real pleasures he;
And'when they for a moment meet,
They quarrel in trce;
Sense will not kneel At Fancy's feet,
She scorns his sage advice.

A FATHERS LOVE.

BY YOUNG LADY Of WILLIAMSON.
A fathers love-how bright its CLEAN
Pure and mpasson'd are its rays;
Twill shed its mild and heavily beam,
When every other love decays
My fathers love-I would not lose,
For all the joys that wealth attend
One smile Of his, did he approve,
" Ould far more satisfaction lend
My fathers love-it knows no change
But ever, erer is the same
When all the world looks cold and strange,
Then brighter beams this sacred flame
How oft when clouds obscur'd my skv,
And nature wore its deepest gloom,
My fathers love has fx'd nv eye
On scenes Of bliss beyond the tomb.
And shall ever, ever pay
Such love, such kindness to me shown
0 when life GIBBS, that thou caast say,
A daughters fondness thou hast known
o that when sorrow wounds thy heart,
That | could then thy love repay
In all thy anguish share part,
And cheer with hopes Of brighter day.
And when old age has silver'd DER thy head,
And angels wait to watt thy soul above
Q then III watch around thy dying bed,
And shcw unto thee all daughters love.
And when the last sad sigh shall rend thy hear
III point thy soul to heavily joys above,
Repress the anguish which with theel part, Il
Nor stay thy soul, to tell hoto much Ilove. VI
