FOR THE TthiEs.
feTThe following poetical effusion was wri,
en- in reply to one which we published a fey
weeks since, headed appearances.
70 THE AUTHORIZES OF APPEARANCES.
That is the darkest hour Of night
Which jus, precedes the dawn,
When life and happiness and light
Come dawning DER the lawn,
As merry as fawn at play,
To welcome in the newborn day.
Then think not though the tear will start
Unbdden down the cheek
At present sorrow, that the heart
Which heaves that tear must break
Anon that heavy heart will be,
From pain and care and sorrow, free.
To Joy, sadness will give way,
And mirth will follow sorrow,
Just as the leufess stalk to day,
The rose adorns tomorrow.
Then chide not April's waywerd hours
OF light and cloud, sunbeams and showers.
What though the rains descend!
Shall every gentle lily die
Because It's forced to bendl
Oh no! twill raise its head again
And smile the brighter for the rain.
Forgets the sun on thee to shine
Because thy shadows therel
Lady, alone the fault is thine,
The day beam still is fair.
Then from thy shadow turn thy sight,
The other way there must be light.
Why look on yonder cloud that nov,
Obscures the eastern sky,
And not observe, upon its brow,
That bright bow archins high,
So beautiful, we should forgive
The cloud, that causes it to live!
Why view the darker side Of things7
Why sigh that winters near?
When autumn, lovely autumn brings
Her charms to eye, to ear,
To taste, to smell, to touch, TO sight,
And all is fair and sweet and bright!
And Lady if to day is heard
The frequent knocks of sorrow,
Be "not at home," and take my word,
He'll keep away tomorrow.
But treat him as your honored guest,
And with his calls you'll be oppressed. r.

Poverty has. in large cities, very differ
ent appearances. Ii is often concealed in
splendor, and often in extravaganza. 1t is
the care of very great part of mankind
to conceal their indigsnce from the rest
They support themselves by temporary ex-
