The duty which you owe to Your master

you, then you are bound by the letter ard
spirit Of your indentures, and by every lie
ofhonor and gratitude to be zcalousy faith.
ful to HIM, TO labor for him with the utmost
diligence; 10 take all possible care of his
interest, TO watch over it as YOU would your
own with all the mcntal vigor snd discern
ment you possess; 20 keep faithfully his
secrets and those of his family Tor in every
family there are circumstances, 40 traii rs
humanity, from which the domestic veil
ought never to be removed and vlcr than
the sneaking fox, mcaner than the meanest
reptile that eroeps in the dust, is he who,
from any consideration, however speciouS
or plausible, would radely tear aside this
sacred veil Of domestic distraction, dsQulet-

Of tale bearer, a mlschief-makeT, IS The
most despicable Of all characters and ever
has been, and ever will be, an object OF
contempt in every circle where good sense
and correct feelings prevail. Your master
stands in the room of your parent, and you

cannot count the changes ofmy heart,
so often has il turned away from things
Once idols of its being the depart
Hopes, fancies, Joys illusions--as It wings
Were oiven from their former selves 10 start
Or if they linger, longer life but brings
Weariness, canker, hollowness, and stain,
Till the heart says of pleasure, 1t is pam.
And thus il is with all that made life fair
Gone with the freshness which they used tC
wear,
'Tis sad to mark the ravage which the heart
Makes Of itself-how one by one depart
The colors that formed hope. We seok-we
find
And find the charm has with the search de-
clined.
-pleasures-all in which we trust
What do they end in' Nothing or disgust
Think no more ofthat sweet tirno,
When the heart and cheek were young
Think no more Of that sweet time
Ere the veil from life was flung
Still the cheek shews the young rose,
Which its beauty had ofyore
But the bloom upon the heart
Is no more.
We have mingled with the false,
Till belief has lost the charm
Which it held when life was new,
And the pulse Of feeling warm.
We have had the bosom wTung
When dropt the mask which Friendship
wore
Affections trusting happiness
Is no more.
We have seen the young and gay
Dying as tho aged die;
Miss we not tho cheerful voice
Miss we not the sunny eve
Wishes take the place Of hope
Hope hath dreamed till dreams arc DER
it, freshness made lifo fresh, and that
Is no more.
Take away yon purple bowl
What 10 left TO greet IL now
Loathing lip that turns away,
Sulen eye, and weary brow
Social joys that wont to laugh
Mirth that lit its purple store,--
Friends with whom we poured its Wealth.
Are no more. l.. T., l.

grave the earth falls in upon the coffin
How coldiy comes that sound upon the
heart And can the form that we loved so
well in days Of reckless joy; be nothing
nop but prey for the wormS beneath:
Melancholy visions how ye press upon
the spirit
We return 10 the desolatc dwelling
davs. weeks and months may roll away
but what shall bring peace TO the mourning
heart ? Can the syinpathies offiendship al
Ieyiate its grief? Can the light of a sum-
mer sun impsrt its sunshine TO the heart /?
In vain may Spring dance DER the fiow'ry
mead the Cuckoos note awakes no tlrob
Of ioy and We gaze not with delighted
ewes on natures renovated beauties. And
il we repair to Summers shadowy groves
It's not to indulge those happy fancies
which youthful hopes create but to
breathe in solitude the sigh Of sorrow /:
And what TO rs then are the splendid hues
which clothe the forests Of majestic .4u-
tumn? It's Impressive scenery but serves
70 recall each mournful memory And
the winds Of Hinter may sweep around us
but their songs, which in happier days vas
heard with glad emotion now tells us to
the aching heart but Of death and desola-
ton
We mourn The more, because we mourn IN
ram"
And how oft when night her dusky curtain
spreads, does Imagination take the reins of
Reason in those distempered dreams the
loved one will return as though in the
bloom of health and happiness. "Thou
art not dead" is the half uttered exclana-
ton as we tx IN fancy our eager gaze upon
the form we awake in tumutuous feeling;
and for awhile Reason can scarcely tell
whether this is indeed reality OF the fever
ish visions Of troubled mind In 4 mo-
ment Of superstltious feeling, we call on
the departed spirit" Why in my dreams
alone wilt thou appear? o, come al this
waking hour and once more let me look
upon those features; for many q weary day
has flown since last they met my gaze,
save when their seriblance rises in fancy's
visions But again in hours of slumber /,
Imagination will array its OBJECTS in other
c0iourngs the hue Of death will over
spread that countenance; the same that
we gazed on but little while ago, ere the
coffin Ga was closed upon it again the spell
is broken and we find tia all dream ;we
look out upon the Midpigh Moon, and
watch those countless stars as they glow
amid the azuro that surrounds her or well
come the orient glow; the earliest smile
Aurora gives the herald Of approaching
day.
And time passes on; we mingle in soci-
ETY. again the voice Of friendship will At
times beguile us Of grief the gay hlarity
,F ma br IIa trf,-
on the features but remembrance will lin
ger still with the form that Death has
borne away and we pass along with the
cold and -heegtless multitude but we veil
our sorrows from their idle gaze and suy
in these moments ofsorrowing pride,
al would not fools should ever hcsr
One sigh that should be wholly thine"
