MORNING IN SPRING.

BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE, ESQ.
How sweet the landscape Morning twines
Her tresses round the brow OF day,
And bright mists DER the forest pines,
Like happy spirits, float away.
To revel on the mountains crown,
Whence the glad stream comes shouting dowT
Through woods and rocks, that hang on high
Like clouds against the deep blue sky
The woven sounds of bird and stream
Are stealing beautiful and deep
Upon the spirit, like dream
OF music on the hour of sleep;
And gently from the dewy bowers,
Soft murmurs like the breath of flowers,
Are winding through the purple grove,
And blending with the notes of love.
The streams in veins of beauty flow;
The sunrise gale Ger flower and tree
So lightly breathes, it scarce would blow
fairy bark upon the sea;
It comes so fresh, so wild, so sweet,
1t draws the heart from its retreat
To nlingle with the glories born
In the first holy light of morn.
The lake, unruffl'd by the breeze,
Smiles on its sweet, unbroken rest,
AS it were dreaming of the trees
And blossoms pictur'd on its breast
It's depths are glowing bright and fair,
And the deep skies seem hallowd there,
Soft trembling, as they felt the thrill
Of music echod from the hill.
A cloud is on the sky above,
A--a e.i.niy o'er tho young years blue
lis coming, like a thing of love,
| To gladden. in the rising dew
Its white waves with the sunlight blend,
And gentle spirits seem to bend
From its unrolling folds, to hear
The glad sounds of our joyous sphere.
The living soul of beauty fills
The air with glorious visions-bright
They linger round the sunny hills,
1 And wander in the clear blue light
Off to the breathing heavens they 60
Along the earth they live and glow
Shed DER the lake their happy smiles,
And beckon to its glittcring isles
Oh at this hour-when air and earth
Are gushing love, and Joy and light,
And songs of gladness hail the birth
Of all that's beautiful and bright;
Each heart beats higli-each thought is blow
1 To fiame-the spirit drinks the tone
OF brighter worlds, and melts away
In visions of eternal day.

TooTH ACHE. A remedy for this pain
full affection, which has succeeded in IS of
100 cases, is alum, reduced to an impalpa-
BILE powder, 2 drachms, nitrous spirit of
ether drachms, mixed and applied to the
tooth.
AT a recent meeting of the London Med
ical Society, DIR. Blake stated, that the ex-
traction of the tooth was no longer neces-
ssry, as he was enabled to cure the most
desperate cases of tooth ache, unless the
disease was connected with rheumatism
by the application of this remedy.

THE POWER OF CONSCIENCE. n. N.
was about building boat for the purpose
of fishing and towling; seeing some ma
terials suitable for his purpose on a land
inn where lumber was piled for market, he
took q number Of articles to assist in the
construction of his boat. When he had got
it done, ii was observed that he was I'M
commonly timid about venturing into his
boat when the wind blew, or there was
any sea running. Although the boat was
us well constructed and OF as good mate
rials as common, he never could go into it
with his usual confidence. Every piece OF
timber and board seemed to cry out there
is danger! At length he got SO, that he
burst not venture in it at all, until he
went and proffered pay for the purloined
articles; after which he assumed his usual
courage, and his boat proved quite Il safe
and comfortable vehicle in which to ac-
uuire livelihood. Another instance was
| that of Captain T. who had been master
| of a slave trader. He was so terrified al
night that he could enjoy no rest. He
would often start, and cry out for help
thinking his slaves had risen on the vessel
end he and crew were about to be massa-
| creu. ms continued Ior years aIter ne
had quilted the sea. He had purchased q
place in the town Of, where he lives q
very unhappy man. He is afraid to get
over wall, lest the stones should fall and
crush him; when the wind blows he is a
fraid to venture into the woods or orchards
lest the timber should fall on him. lie has
heen heard to curse the day that he ever
went on board Of Guineaman "The
stones cry out of the wall, and the trees
out of the forest answer them"
