THE GREY HAIR.

Come, let me pluck that silver hair
Which mid thy clust'ring curls see:
The whitening type ofTime or Care
Hath nothing, sure, to do with thee
Years have not yet impaired the grace
That charmed me once, that chains me
now;
And Envy's self, love, cannot trace
One wrinkle on thy placid brow!
Thy features have not lost the bloom
That brighten'd them when first we met
No Trays of softest light illlme
The unambitious beauty yet!
And if the passing clouds ofCare
Have cast their shadows DER thy face,
They have but left, triumphant, there
A hOlier charm-more witchng grace.
And if thy voice hath sunk tone.
And sounds more sweetly than of yore,
1t has sweetness, all its own,
Methinks | never marked before
Thus, young and fair, and happy too
1t bliss indeed may here be won
In spite of all that care can do;
In spite Of all that Time hath done;
Is yon white hair boon of love,
To thee in mildest mercy given?
A sign, token from above, en-
To lead thy thoughts from earth to hea-
To speak to thee of life's decay;
Ofbeauty Fastening to the tomb;
Of hopes that cannot fade away;
Ofjoys that never lose their bloom?
Or springs the line of timeless snow
With those dark, glossy locks entwined,
Mid Youths and Beauty's morning glow,
To emblem thy maturer mind
1t does-it does then let it stay;
Even Wisdom's self were welcome now:
Who'd wish her soberer tints away, Throw!
When thus they beam from Beauty's

BY THE AUTHOR Of LEISURE Hours AT SEA.
" This Is true saying, and soorthy Of all &C,
ceptGtion."
This little book I'd rather own,
Than all the gold and gems
That e'er in monarch's Golfers shone---
Than all their diadems:
Nay, were the seas one chrysolite, z
The earth a. golden ball,
And diamonds all the stars of night,
This book We're worth them all.
How baleful to Ambitions eye,
His blood-wrung spoils must gleam,
When Deaths upllfted hand is nigh,
His life--a vanquish'd dream:
Then hear him, with his gasping breath,
For one poor moment crave---
Fool woulds't thou stay the arm of death!
Ask of thy gold to save!
No, no: the soul meier found relief
In glittering boards of wealth;
Gems dazzle not the eye of grief,
Gold cannot purchase health
But here blessed balm al pears,
To heal the deepest woe;
And he that seeks this Book in tears,
His tears shall cease to flow.
Here He who died on Calvary's tree,
Hath made that promise blest,
eye heavy laden, come to me,
And will give you rest;
A bruised reed / will not break,
A contrite heart despise;
My burdens light, and all who take
My yoke, shall win the skies.'

 Matt. xxv. 35-4O. A A poor wayfaring man of grief .g Hath often crossed me oR my way, Who sued so humbly for reiief, -e That could never answer N0y: had not power to ask his name, Whither he went or whence he came, Yet there was something in his eye That won my loye-I know not why. Once when my scanty meal was spread, @ He entered: not a word he spake: Just perishing for want of bread; gave him all; he blessed 1t, brake, And ate, but gave me part again; Mine was an angei's portion then, And while fed with eager haste, The crust was mama to my taste. spied him where fountain burst Clear from the rock: his strength was gone; The needless water mock d his thirst He heard it, saw it thurrying on; ran and raised the sufferer up, Thrice from the stream he drained my cup, Dipt, and returned 1t, running o'er; drank, and never thirsted more. Twas night, the floods were out, it blew A winter hurricane aloof; heard his voice abroad, and flew 4e To bid him welcome to my roof; 4gssa warmed, clothed, cheered my guest, laid him on my couch to rest, Then made the earth my bed, and seemed In Eden's garden while dreamed. Stript, wounded, beaten nigh to death, l found him by the highway side; reused his pulse, brought back his breath, Reyieed his spirit, and supplied Wine, oil, refreshment; he was healed; 2 --I had, myself, wound concealed, But from that hour forgot the smart, And peace bound up my broken heart. In prison saw hiau next-cOndemned To meet a traitors doom at morn: The tide of lying tone eues lstemmed, And honored him 'midst shame and scorn. My friendships utmost zeal to- try, He asked-ifI for him would die; The flesh was weak, my blood run chill, But the free Spirit cried, "I will" Then, in moment, to my view, The stranger darted from disguise; The tokens in his hands knew; My SAVIOUR stood before mine eyes, He spake, and my poor name he named-- "Of me thou hast not been ashamed; These deeds shall thy memorial be; Fear not, thon didst them unto me-" she0ieLd, Eng.
