On earth, to bear the pains of hell;
For, first, with more than savage ire,
They roast my carcase in the fire;
Then with hard steel they fay my back,
And next extend me on a rack;
And then, from my dissected crsw,
They through my sides my entrails draw
AT last they lop my polish'd head,
And sink me in an oozy bed,
Whence arise with double art,
And for my foes play my part.

THE RETURN OF SPRING

Seems like the smile Of the Almighty il
beams on every plant and it buds-the rivers,
the earth, the trees-the birds and beasts, and
man, all feel the renovating sunshine and
warmth, and nature, both animal al.d vegeta-
BILE, revives. Every man who witnesses the
departure of winter, with what Thompson calls
his rufian blasts, can feel in his own heart,
and we hope with becoming piety, the truth
Of the Mosaic declaration-that when God be-
held the workmanship of his hand, he saw it
was good. Such is the simple way in which
the page of that hoary prophet records the
wonders and glories which we behold he saw
the frmament-the earth-the seattle trees
the animals, and the sun-the moon with
all her sparkling myriads, and finally man
himself, and they were all good, because they
were the creation of his own Almighty hand.
But man, as ifmade pre-eminent in such works
of glorious goodness, he created in his own
image. The beautiful appearance of the
Heavens and the earth at this season-the
deep ccrulean blue of the waters, finely con.
trasted by the resuscitating green of the soil lis
but the response, the echo of Heaven and
earth to the voice Of its Creator-God saw that
the works, of his hand were good. Let Us,
then, give the right hand of fellowship to the
rosy-handed Spring, who is honoring us with
so early visits if she was determined to oc-
cupy every moment of the time allotted to her
residence.
