/ NATURES LOVE OF BEAUTY.
Read the great law in Beautys cheering reign,
Blent with all ends through matters wide domain;
She bresthes hope. language, and with boundless
range,
Sublimes all forms, smiles through each subtle
change,
And with insen.ate elements combined
Ordsins their constant ministry TO mind,
| The breeze awoke TO watt the feaihered seed,
A I'D the cloud fountains with their dow to feed,
Upon it, many erraods might have flown.
Nor woke one nyer song forest moan,
Stirred no, the grass nor the tall grain have bent
Like shoreless pillows tremendously spent;
Frost could the bosom oitho lake have glassed
Nor parsed to paint the woodland as il passed;
The glossy sea bird and the brooding dove
Might coyls peek with twink ling eye of love,
Nor catch upo, their downy necks the dyes,
So like the mottled hues of summer skies
Mists in the west could float, nor glory wear.
As If an sngels robes streaming there;
The moon mig sway the tides. nor yet impart
solemn lighs TO tranquilize the heart,
And lesgues q sand could bar the ocean, swell,
Nor yield oneehIystsl gloom on peary shelf;
The very sed1r lends music to the blast
And the thor1 glistens when the storm is past;
Wild flowers hestIe in the rocky cleft.
Moss decks tae bough of leaf and life bereft
Ger darkest clouds the moonbeams brightly steal
The rainbo~e herald in the thunder's pes
Gay are the weed. that suew the barren shore
Aad snihem1be the breakers gloomy roar.
As love DER sorrow spreads her genial ~ings
The ivy rousd fallen column clings,
While on tbs sinking walls, where owlets cry,
The weather Stains in tins OF beauty lie;

And throw tpensiye charm around decay;

The trees oil over the city, and all a.

Drowned foliage from the branch. They

the foolstalk upwards, and releases its
hold, and it shrinks to the frost, and in

thing is in nature. The little sunny
locked fairies, that brother Morris leads
with parental pride and pleasure, and
those harder ones that clasp at our foot

For o little while, we give them shelter,
and protect their greenness but the frost

the character was formed, and the course
Of life set BY the accidental influences Of
the nursery. 1t is not in the spring that
we must seek new buds, but far back in
early autumn. So not in childhood, but
in early infancy, must we watch the
swelling buds Of our infant minds. AS in
evening twilight, we discover, in the face
of the sky, the token of the weather for
the coming day, so IN our little ones, ere
the intellectual day dawns, or shadows Of
infancy flee away, we must look for the
signs Of the coming times.
Happy, most happy, those who can
pretermit the pressing cares OF business,
and then free their minds from its weight,
and tempers from its influence, and bend
with swelling warmth over the intelec.
