POETRY.
FOR THE ENQUIRER.

We talk of love and pleasure, but Iis all A tale of faIsehoOd. Percirai. Oh, cah it be that Love 's Gaiihless dream; A rapture transient as a meleOr's glean; A bubble aoa"gat" summer stream
 But broken 6y auiUmnal colds ? Say, sister Fates say, is i, thus they flee; These hopes and mortal joys which ye O'ersee? Is love so vain ?-,hen hapIess wighs are we
 Whom love and such like pleasure holds. And aN thus false ' ah! yes, 'lis even so: While down the rapid stream of life we go, The voice oi mi, tn preIudes the voice of wo,
 And proves the harsh asserIio" true. We talk ofpleasure. Like Ilie birds that sing At morn or even, tn the maiden spring, We little heed the rush of Times gray wing,
 Till age assumes its silver hue. Loves joys! loves pleasures! who would dream ol these,
 That they were feeting as the summer breeze? Who dream that every chilling wind would freeze
 The cords tha, bind the hearts of youth? Oh, wl.o would dare before the world reprove The warmth, the ardent zeal of early love? These earthly joys-li(e's waning lamps may prove
 That they are false, in very truth. Such forsoo.h they are. The path of pleasure lies Through wales of ,ears-bleak storms of trouble rise With f,(ul moans, and expectation dies
 When lie puts on its garb of gloon. Thus seasons roll, and youth forever gay, Would look on life, a ceaseless, cloudless day: Till now old age comes on, and slow decay
 Hath lurned their footsteps to the tomb. Your hopes false, ye youths, and false the joys Ne seek ;-ike empty bubbles, gliiering toys, Their seeming charms your slightest touch destroys. Do these? do pleasures lead you on? ah! where 2 Aud life is short--lhen think how vain is all Ye seek of pleasure; flowers fade and fall; ''The fAirest scenes clad in ruins paIl;'' The grave-go read your sentence there.

 Colds Patent-the noted and very much ap proved Rotary Sto0e, of which there are four sizes, the smallest being calculated for small families, and the largest sufficiently large for public houses-and Colds Improvement, which is the latest pattern now offered. This pattern combines the principle of the Rotary Stove with that of B,dwelI's and the old pattern- and has in addition a large oven within the stove, which i've think the best we have ever noticed. The public are respectfully invited to call and examine the above stoves, which we think cannot fail to please.

A Widows mite About n year since,
n jealous member of the Presbyterian
church IN Bethel, invited poor widow
who obtained "A scanty support by wash

charity for .le American Tract Society
She replied ,ha, she was unable to sup
nor, herself aud children, allho' she
daily worked very hard for that purpose,
and that she was herself an object of

gayc in her mite for this glorious object,
God would visit her less with aill IctIon,
and that ten times the amount she gave
for this obiec, would be yearly saved IN
the doctors bill. After long and re-
pea,ed solicitations he prevailed upon
his victim TO give hun six cents, which
was the only farthlng she owned on
earth But tins did not satisfy the ac-
cursed appetite of this long faced hyl"-
critical robber. lie asked her II her
children had any pennies. she fephed
that her little boy had tonr CENTS "h'ch

of thn, sum-ihe woman resisted, bu, al

vengeance Of God IN this world, and g.

frightened, overcome, and dismayed-
she gave up the money OF the poor or

God departed, after having wrung from
the destitute widow the last cent she had
under her roof! These are facts, and
are susceptible of the most ample proof
