HARVEST HYMN.

God Of the year With songs of praise,
And hearts oflove, we come to bless
Thy bounie"us hand, for thou hast shed
Thy mama DER our wilderness =
In eaily spring-time thou ddst fling
Der Earth its robe of blossnning-
And It's sweet treasures, day by day,
Rose qulckening i'll thy blessed ray.
And now they whiten hill and vale,
And hang from every vine and tree,
Whose pensile branches, bending low,
Seem bowed in thankiulness to thee
The earth with all its purple isles,
Is answering to thy genial smiles,
And gales of perfume breathe along,
And lift TO thee their voiceless song.
God of the Seasons Thou hast bIesr
The land with sunlight and with showers
And plenty DER its bosom smiles
To crown the sweet AutuHinal hours
Praise, praise to thee Our hearts expand
To view these blessings Of thy hand,
And on the incense-breath of Love,
Go uff 10 their bright home abnve

COLD WINTER is COMING.

IoId winter IS coming-take care of your toes
Gay Zephyr has folded his fan;
Ills lancss are couch'd in the ice. wind that blows
>" mail up as warm as you can.
C"ld Winter is coming--he's ready to start
From his home on his mountains afar:
tie is shrunken and pale--he looks froze to the
heart,
And snow.wreaths embelish his car.
Cold Winter is coming-hark did We not heal
The blast which his herald has blown
Inc children "f nature all trembIed i'm fear,
For to them Is his power made known.
Cold Winter is coming-there breathes not 2
fnwer,
Though sometimes the dav NAV pass fair
The soil lutte is remoVd from the lady's lorn
bower,
Lest it c"ldly be touch'd by the air.
Cold Winter is coming-,alI stript are the groves
The passage-bird hastens away;
To the lively blue South, like the tourist. he
roves,
And returns like the sunshine in May.
Cold Winter is comng-he'l breathe on the
stream
And the bane OF his petrific breath
WIN soal mp the waters till, in the moonbeam.
They lie stirless, as slumber or death!
Cold Winter is coming. and soon shall we see
On the panes. by that genius Jack Frost.
Fine drawings of mountain, stream tower. and
Tree
Fram'd and glaz'd too, without any cost.
Cold Winter il cnming-ye delicate fair,
lake care when your hvson you sip -
Drink IT quick, and don't talk, lest he come un-
aware,
And turn il to ice on vo0r lin
Cold Winter is coming charge you again
Mnffie warm-9f the tyrant beware
He's 5" brave, that to strike the young hero he's
fain-
He's SO cold he not favor the fair
Cold Winter is coming-l've said so before
1t seems I've not much else TO say
Yes Winter is coming. and God help the poor !
