NOT TO MYSELF ALONE.

NOT TO MYSELF ALONE.
"Not to myself Alone"
The little opening lower transported cries.
"Not to myself alone bud and bloom;
With fragrant breath the breezes | perrin e
And gladden. all things with my rainbow dyes
The bee comes slipping, every eventide,
His dainty fill;
The butterfly within my cup doth hide
From threatening i'll"
"Not to myself %alone,'
The circling star with honest pride doth boast
''Not to myself alone, l rise and set;
write upon nights coronal of let
His power and skill who formed our myriadI
host;
A friendly beacon at heavens open gate.
Igem the sky,
That man might not forget in every fate,
His home on high"
ENot to myself alone"
The heavy-laden bee doth murmuring hum;
"Nott to myself alone from flower to flower
Irove the wood, the garden and the bow'r,
And to the hive at evening weary come:
rUI man tic lusSIC us IU0u 1 pue
With busy care,
Content if this repay my c~aseless toll
A scanty share"
"Not to myself Alone"
The soaring bird with lusty pinion sings
"Not to myself alone I raise the song:
I cheer the dropping with my warbling
tongue,
And bsarthe mourner on my viewless wings
bid the hymless churl my anthem learn
And God adore;
! call the worldling from his dross to turn
And sing and soar"
"Not to myself alone"
The streamlet whispers on its pebbly way
"Not to myself alone / Sparkling glide:
scatter life and health on every side.
And strew the fields with herb and
Using unto the common, bleak and bare
My gladstone tune;
l sWeeten and refresh the languid air
In droughty June"
"Not to myself alone"-
Oh man, forget not thou, earth's honore,
priest!
Its tongue, its soul, its life, its pulse, il
heart,
In earth's great chorus to sustain a part
Chief of guests at loves ungruding feast
Play not the niggard, spurn thy nativ
clod,
And self disown:
Live to thy neighbor, live unto thy God,
Not to myself alone.

Oy~ INEQUALITY OF TAIArIos.-A Phladel-
phia paper mentions the fact, that the tax on
Brokers during the past fiscal year, only amour
ted to SLIP, and yet there were 40 regular
brokers in Philadelphia who attend the board Of
brokers daily, besides, others who do not attend,
There are also few on Pittsburg, Lancaster and
Harrisburg. The whole number will probably a
mount to between 80 and 60 Each Broker is
subject TO tax of not less than 500; while
some of them are liable TO pay 5000 and others
$500. II is evident that these money shavers,
do not pay more than one fifth Of what should be
assessed upon them, while the farmer, mechanic
and merchant, pays the full amount Of what the
| law requires. This is unjust, and should be look
ed into. We remember, under the license law q
few years since, number of Philadelphia mer
chants, whose sales in six months amounted &c
more than the annual sales of all the merchants If
this county, were taxed only ten and twelve dol
lars, while many OF our merchants were paying

COPPER MINES IN UPPER CANADA.-Some OF
the British officers in Canada have lately made
an important discovery of some OF the richest
copper mines in the world. This discovery

that contrary TO the predictions of the wise in

For .fp or hty or dime
He gives you this, his quittance
nd to make his claim more strong and clear,
E adds this Ode to the dying Year"
ON THE DYING YEAR.
The year that late We welcomed in,
Is wearing off again,
'Tis marked upon the woods and hills,
The river and the plain;
IT'S sounded in the deep north wind
That breathes his bnrial knell,
And when the village sexton tolls
Yhe solemn funeral bell;
The chilling veins that meet the sys,
The tones, the hearing feels,
Are such and only such as old
December bleak reveals.
But yesterday we watched for flowers;
Aud heard the first lark sing;
New life awakened in the gale
Flow welcome was the spring.
True March TO winter long clhng on,
And April brought her showers,
But then the fairy May tripped in,
With arms brin,ful Of flowers;
And all the woodland and the groves,
A livelier garment wore;
The fields grew green and sriiled, the sky
Looked happier than before.
Then 5une, almost unknowinsly.
So gently fell the hours,
inrobed the woods in brighter green,
More sweetly decked the bowers;
The little streams danced gladly Though
The freshened meadow land,
Cooling, in July's heated noon,
The farmers brow and hand
And as hot August Jagged along,
With drowsy, sultry feet,
September smilingly appeared
To soothe the feverish heat.
g.oudcr and louder rang the shouts
As from October came;
And wildly echoed far the laugh;
Anbbtier was name
And soon were stripped the orchards ripe,
And quickly bound the shesvss.
While gay October, Autumn left,
To die in yellow leaves
Then, clarion-lke, the winds grew shrill,
(The winds November's broaCh,)
Proclalmipg Autumn's burial
And winters near aPproach.
What melancholy thoughts arise
The year is in its wane;
4 link that bound usto the past
Must now he rent in twain
A winding sheet enshroads its end;
The air is piercing cold;
The little stars no longer smile,
But glitter sharp and bold;
The moon is bank-.ali outward shows
sympathy depart,
The dying year and tolling winds
Come apt1y TO the heart.
1t scarcely seems SO long ago
With loud and joyoes din,
Bells chimed dying year away,
And hailed new one in
Then full and brightly flashed my dreams
My hopes aspired high,-
pondered not how soon they all
All were doomed to die;
Like friends in dark adversely,
They fed e'er spring time came,
Spring came and offered new ones, but
They all-s!l died the same
Friends-l had friends and many; some
Were false and some were true,
Some fed some stood by me
But few my friendship knew;
Some (roving dispositions theirs
Are roaming on the waves;
Some dwell in foreign lands and some
Are sleeping in their graves;
A wear ago-'twas but year
A single year ago-we met
Now marks change on srery one
That lingers by me yet.
And Yes am changed and turn
My eye where e'er will,
In nature and in art view
A change before me STILL
Some are but changes ideal,
And some are wrought with truth
look not now upon the sea
As in my earlier youth
