Mild sadness dwelt on her expressive face,
That seemd untainted by our earthly woe,>
Such as might cause an angels tears to Aow
Fsr fallen mama soft subduing grace
Around her brea.h'd: The cold unfeeliug world
Could never know the sacred grief she felt,
One eve marked hnr, as she humbly knelt
Beside grave, where sweetest flowers unfurld
Their irgin blossoms; aud the rising moon
Glanced upon many stear from those dark eyei
For him she lov'd, who died, alas too soon
But short the gush Of sympathy griefdies
In resignation-to her God she turns
b. silent prayer, and consolation learns.

HOW SWEET TO ME-


How sweet to me the tranquil hour,
When daylight leaves the plains
No tempest clouds the sky doth low'r
Or cause one moments pain,
O. then feel sweet natures pow'r
While balmy gales she's breathing
With some sweet friend beneath the bow'r
A garland band we're wreathius>
O, now think Of days long past,
When friendship bcamed bright
Then pleasures flow'd to free to last,
And beauty charm'd the sight.
Those days are gone--a spell hath bound
NV heart unto the hour,
When soft and sweet, gay music'' sounu
Was heard beneath this bow'r.
Where now those friends that once were dear
Who seem'd in youth so light
In .portive days we gambOlld here
Those days were passing bright.
But all ! those pleasing hours are gone
They were too pure to last;
Sweet friendships charming pow'r hath
flown
Those days of bliss are past
Now sweet to mos the thrilling hour
When daylight leaves ths plain
No tempest clouds the sky to lswr,
Or cause a moment, pain.
n sweet 70 mes this charming hour
When balmy gales are breathing,
To seek, and muse benath some bow'r,
On days I've spent in wreathing.

Adieu! Ye stream that smoothly dow
Ye vernal airs that softly blow !
Ye plains by blO"mins spring arrayd!
Ye bird, that warble thro' the glide
Unhurt from you my soul could fly,
Nor drop one tear, nor heave one sign;
But forc'd from Laura's smiles to part
All Joy deserts my drooping heart.

When flowers the dewy field adorn;

Can man, with nimble foot, outvie
The fleeting coursiers race
Dare his defenceless arm defy
The rearing lions face
Will he the debths of ocean dive.
And build bis dwelling there
Or, with the soaring eagle, strive
10 skin the liquid air ?
Why, then, do natures tribes obey
This absolute command
WHY rules he, with unbounded sway
{ The Ocean ami the Land !
',Tn Reason, gift divine, inspires
His soul with mntchless skill
Bows nature all to his desires,
All creatures to his will.
Aided by Reason, man unfolds
The maze Of natures Laws;
Traces the Golden chain that holds
All to the great First Cause.
At his command, the waving groves
From native hills descend,
Sail the long tracks of,rollins waves
To earth's remstest end.
Guided by Reason, walks his soul
The Philosopher world;
Learns why revolving planets roll
Or blazing stars are hurld.
Far as the sun dispenses day,
Far as Creations bound.

And walks her splendid rouad'
