Of pleasures girt with tolls
As yc fit along,

With the voice OF song,
Strains Of mlseryi
Still love 10 trace,
As We pass me by,
Fen for a moments space,
The faded shade Of JOY!
Voices seem 10 swell
Above me, aud around
Many Il tale they tell
Uij Joys no longer found;
Of Smiles that ruthless Time
Hath wither'd long ago.
Like tow'ret past their prime
Sure, silently and slow -
But yel to me they bring
Back dreams of uther DAYS
A vision of lifes spring.
The hearts own earliest lays!
Memory hath her hours
Ofpleasure and of pain;
OF sunshine, storm, and showrs,
That fade and spring again.
Yet when the shadows fly,
And voices greet the eur.
In all the pride of mystery,
love the sounds to hear
And prnsvely to trace,
As shadows pass me by,
Fen Tor moments space,
The fitting form of Joy!

Between this place and the sea Of Gala

name of the name ofthe Mount of Beatitu,
des, from which, Il IS said, Jesus preached
that ever memorable sermon according to
Sit. Matthew. Il was about one miIe from
our path, and .thither We went through thorns
and thistles, which reared their bristling
heads up TO our stirrup-irons.
From the top of this mountainwe had a
magnifcent view To the south lay an e1-
tensiYe and well cultivated plain. To the
east was the sea of GaliIee, and its smooth
surface enbosomed deep among its surroun-
ding mountains. To the north, with its hoa

Hermon, and on the southwest was Mount
Tobor.
