one would suppose, that il would require the utmost
efforts of the keepers to bring them to any thing
like order but, in few minutes, they all, volun-

were seen passing buckets OF water to the hre, with
all the interest and order of so many hremen. And

SPRING.

SPRING.
The voice Of Spring! Oh, mark the Joy
That gushes from that sound of gladness!
For have lovd it from boy
And love it still, tho grief and sadness
Have made an autumn of the few
Green leaves that budded round my heart -
But then the memory Of them grew
Immortal my soul part!
The voice Of Spring-the flowers of May
Pve lov'd-Heaven knows how fervently!
The breath Of Spring how pure-how sweet
Its influence on tn soul of feeling!
Oh! | have felt my bosom beat
With ecssacy beyond revealing;
Have worshipped with silent praise
In Gods first temples" ~ when the earth
Was full Of Natures melodies,
And all was life, and light, and mirth
The breath of Spring feel it now,
Like music, floating Ger my brow.
Sweet Spring greet thee in thy smile
can forget the sigh of sorrow;
And woo thee, needless all the while
Though clouds should darby frown tomorrow.
My heart, light as the blue-bird's wing
Blends with each warbler's joyous tone,
Whose high and heavenly echoing
Ofgratitude must reach the throne
Where perfect spirits sweetly sing,
And worship in eternal Spring

EVENING CLOUD.

Acloud lay Graded near the setting sun;
A CLEAN Of crimson tinged its braided snow,
Long had watched the glory moving on
Der the still radiance of the lake below.
Tranquil its spirit seemed and Aoated slow,
Fen in its very motion there was rest, q
While every breath of eve that CHANGED to blow.
Waited the traveller to the beauteous west.
Emblem, methought, of'the departed soul,
TO whose white robe the CLEAN of bliss is given.
And BY the breath Of mercy made to roll
Right onward to the golden gates of heaven; I
There to the eye of faith it peaceful lies,
And tells to man his glorious destinies.

From the London Morning Chronicle

From the London Morning Chronicle.
As late reclining in my chair,
My books and papers here and there,
A feeble taper in my room
Contending with the twilight's gloom
My mind alarmingly depressed
With thoughts inimical to rest
Sudden Vision caught my view,
A horrid thing of CHASTITY hue.
Transfzed, l shuddered at the sight
Its form appeared of shining white;
But O.! Isaw, and started back,
Its hideous features all were black.
Such was its fascinating glance,
Retreat could not, nor advance.
Mute was the spectre; yet its look
Struck terror-like an awful book.
Thin seemed its substance, but its length
Had mysterious air of strength.
This voiceless phantom, to my ear,
Could by its signs breathe words Of fear,
Could tell Of various ills Of life,
Threatening my children and my wife
oflong-known pleasures swift decay,
And poverty's resistless sway
0fyouth's bright prospects overcast,
And ages woes increasing fast
My girls neglected in their bloom,
My boys condemned to ply the loom
Myself debarred from wholesome air,
Midst shrieks and groans Of fell despair.
And ever and anon it told
Ofpains which spring from thirst ofgold.
Can this delusion be said
And turned aside my aching head
Yet this strange power, full swiftly drew
My eyes to that same dismal view;
On the same spot, abiding still,
The appalling messenger ofil.
His dreadful silence seemed to say
At such an hour-on such day
A fatal hour, flor come it must,
When you must render up your dust)-
Then, not till then, I quit your sight,
And vanish in the realms of night.
Unnerved, treInbled-for knew
The doom pronounced, was sure and true.
Reader thy breast does horror thrill
Know-and its throbs shall soon be still
gazed but on an UNPAID BILE.

When adverse winds and waves arise,
And-in my heart dependence sighs;
When life her throng of cares reveals,
And weakness Ger my spirit steals,
Grateful hear the kind decree,
That IS my day, my strength shall be-
When with sad footstep memory royes
mid smitten joys, and buried loves;
When sleep my fearful pillow flies,
And dewy morning drinks my signs,
Still to thy promise, Lord, ! flee,
That as my day, my strength shall be"

out envy every man is born Cain |; hating
that goodness in another which he neglect
eth in himself There was never envy that
was not bloody; for if it eat not another's
heart, it viii eat our own: but unless it be
restrained, it will surely feed itself with the
blood OF others; ofttimes in act, always in
affection; and that God which in good ac-
cepts the will for the deed, condemns the
