There is time, the wise man saith,
For all things to be done
Toplough, to SOW. TO reap--as roll
Successive seasons ONT
For pleasure too--in fiow'ry spring,
In fragrant summers Wales.
In fruitful autumn's yellow fields;
In winters evening tales,
And though the fields are bleak and drear.
The forests verdure gone,
And all is wither'd, cold and sere,
Z In garden, field, and lawn;
There's something left and much to cheer,
And charm the farmers heart
For wintry winds to harvest hope,
Great influence impart.
And while he views the drifting snow,
And treads the frozen earth, @s6
He hath at home his gamers full,
And social blazing hearthl
And thus he sings, whate'er pervades
The earth or sky, at morn
Of wintry winds and summers suns,
The farmers hope is born"

ME BETTER WORLD.

Friend after friend departs;
Who hath not lost friend?
There is no union here Of hearts
That find not here an end;
Were this frail world our final rest,
Living or dying, none were blest.
Beyond the Fight of time
Beyond the reign Of death
There surely is some blessed cline
Where life is not breath:
Nor lifc's affections transient fire,
Whose sparks fly upwards and expirce
There is world above
Where parting is unknown;
A long eternity Of love
Formed for the good alone:
And faith beholds the diving here,
Translated to that glorious sphere!
Thus star by star declines,
Till. all are past away:
As morning high and higher shines
To pure and perfect day:
Nor sink those stars IN empty night,
But hide themselves in heavens own light.
MoNTGcMEn,
