Some thought reflects the pleasant rag
And thus, while me ner things departs
We live again-the happy day.
Oh! is there one who hath not felt,
That cen amid life Of pain,
No scenes there were, where he hath dWelf,
He would not wish to know again !
Though dark adversely hath gloom'd
The flowers that seem'd in youth 80 gay ;
He never can forget they bloom'd;
Once-once upon some happy day.,
When first | met some valued friend,
When first / breathed loves feryid vow
When first my spirit learned 10 blend
With one who loves me dearly now
When first saw my infant smile,
Though time speeds on its rapid way,
These memories shall my heart begulle,
And call back many a happy day.

pare his cash account and his account ofsales
with those of other weeks, will be able to see
that a man may be without what; but tor The
riots and laWless confusion, he would have

We meet many individuals who complain
Of being comparatively without business, and

of the city has been at least temporarily cut
