Aye, my friends, there is silent music
in the heavens. Ever since the morning
stars FIRST sang together, TO the tune OF
80, IFS my delight Of shiny night"
the planets and suns Of each system, have
kept up the chorus Of 'si will never do
10 give it up so Mr.. Brown Perhaps
might more properly say, my hearers,
that each Of these stars sings solo-so
low, (as my respected friend John Gossin
would say,) that You can't hear it,
Yet il you would but go out from the
noisy haunts Of men, Of calm clear
lnight--when the pale moonbeams shed
miIdness upon the features OF sleeping
Nature, and when it is so still tina; echo
bat you would imagine tnut you dcsM
the music Of the spheres, and tancied
that you caught the enchanting notes OF
angels.
| My worthy friends--there is 20 use
in signing, sobbing, and sorrowing when
matters don't 60 exactly according TO
your wishes. for without disappointment
trouble, and affection, you could never
know the worth Of true happiness and
pleasure. When your souls are weighed
down by the ffty-sixes Of grief and dis
queiude, you should MAKE an effort TO
sing, and thereby not only mitigate your
Iown miseries, but render comfort and
lqmetness to all around you. You were
placed upon this mundane sphere to en-
10y yourselves in the best possible man.
Ener; and IL you are determined TO go
whining TO your graves, the fault is en-
liirely your own, no blame can be lmpu'
tied to my preaching, nor 10 the God that
made you. Let your deeds and your ac-
lions be governed by wisdom, sand your
hearts will b. filled with glndenlng gees;
and melodious music will as naturally
lnelt in your throats as a lump Of butter
lin d hot griddle. Rejoice, Oh ye sons of
lRarlns kn the worst " youL Saio'ih.ies'
and the time shall surely come When
your burdens will be made light and
your yoIes made easy, The clouds that
obscure your bright skies Of happiness
|to day will il all probability, pass away
Ito.morrows and peace and quietnsss will
attend you ID the autumn Of life, wher
