very fine texture. Mr.. Hornsby thinks it IS

the seed which was its production, planted

Wen soothe with wine the frowns Of care,
And drink 10 happier hours.
Do joys so thick around Us rise,
To cheer us here below,
That we can such delights desplse
As from the goblet flow
The voice that slept in AEepor,e,s shrine.
To mornings beam alone,
Would wake its melody divine
Apd breathe its richest tone.
And thus there sleeps in all cur hearts
Some feeling bright but cold,
Warm'd by the ray the wine imparts
Will all its sweets unfold.
Then like the bird which nee siSn aI.I

But signs till evenings spicy gales
Bring dews distilled from heaven,
Wen shun the cold delights of earth,
And pass its pleasures by,
To win the smile of careless mirth
