POETRY.

There is beaunful moral in the following ei-
'asion from the ever sweet muse Of Nrs. SIGoUR-
NEY.
TIE LADY-BrG AND TIE ANT.
The Iady-Bug sat in the roses henr,
And smil'd with pride and scorn,
As she saw pla'n-dressed Ant go by,
With a heavy grain Of corn
so she drew the curtains of damask round,
And adjusted her slken vest.
Making her glass Of drop Of dew,
That lay in the roses breast
Then she laughed so loud. that the Ant look'd
up,
And seeing her naughty face,
Took no more notice, but trayell'd on
Al the same industrious pace:-
But a sudden blast Of Autumn came,
And rodely swep, the ground.
And down the rose with the Lady Bug bent,
And scatter'd its leaves around.
Then the houseless Lady was much amaz'd
For she knew not where TO go:
And hoarse November's early blast
Had brought with it rain and snow,
ITer wings were child and her feet were cold,
And she wished for the Ants warm cell.
And what she did in the wntry snow,
I'm sure cannot tell.
But the careful Ant was in her nest,
With her little ones by her side;
She taught them all, like herself to toll.
Nor mind the sneer ofprde:-
And thought, as sat at the close Of day,
Eating my bread and milk.
1t was wiser to work and improve my time.
Than be idle and dress in silk.

THE VANITY OF EARTHLY THINGS


When the voices are gone
That breathed music around,
And the faces we look for
Are not to be found;
Then Love is a hermit,
And steals all apart,
For cold strikes the uorH
On the strings Of the heart.
The world that we dreamt Of
In homes pleasant bowers,
Ere we drank at its fountains,
Or gathered its flowers,
That we pictured as bright.
And we found as irail too,
As the gossamer's web.
With its garIands Of dew.
All the glitter that dazzled.
The newness that won,
Fade away from our rsasoo,s
Like clouds from the sun;
As the angels oEtruth,
Growing bright through our sean,
Shows the Worn but desert,
When sorrow appears
Our childhood is fleet;
As a dream Of the night;
As youth fades anon
Like the flower in ,s~nligh,;
And manhood soon ripens
As corn for the fall;
And age drops 10 dust,
Like leaves on the gale.
Tins year after year
Lies entertainments decay.
The glow Of the spirits.
So baoyantly gay,
Is chilled by unkindness,
Or chastened by woe,
Till man finds his paradise
Darkened below.
But man has a spirit
The world cannot bind,
That mounts TO the stars,
And leaves darkness behind
Where the voices we loved
Breathe holier sound,
And the faces we looked for
Again may be found.
