EARTH.
Earth hath her beauties; -verdant hills
With fertile wales between,
And every silent grace that fills
And Variegales the scene;
Within her darkened forest shades
Wild vines luNuriant creep
And softly on he's smiling glades
The blessed sunbeams sleep.
Earth hath her grandeur mount and rock
In gloomy greatness stand,
And seem in silent pride TO mock
Times ever ruthless hand
And, leaPing down their craggy sleeps,
The cataract's waters foam,
Fresh from the caves where Freedom keeps
Her eagle-guarded home
Earth hath her music-brooks rejoice
And prattle to their shores,
While ever, with solemn voice,
His hymn old ocean roars;
The pleasant songs Of joyous birds
Oonlmingle everywhere
With zephyr-sighings soft as words
OfchldhOOd's early praycrl
Earth hath her joys saw erewhile
The bridegroom and the bride,
She leaning with trusting smile
Upon his manly pride:
The stirring eloquence ofsong
Rose on the trembling air,
And gladness ruled the festive lhrong-
Grief threw no shadow there
Earth hath her joys-the infant plays
Around the mothers knee,
While DER the hillsthe urchin strays
Rejoicing in his glee.
When winter frowns-the social hours
Assert their ind control;
When summer smiles-lhe birds and flowers
Breathe gladness Ger the soul!
Earth hath her sorrOws--lo! the smoke
OF battle dims the air;
Fierce is the sabres lightning stroke,
And fierce the lannon's glare:
The sword is dripping with the gore
OF mangled human hearts,
And forth from many an opened pore
The crimson current starts
olthsre the troops OF charging horse
Arelrampling Ger the slain
And here lies many stifen'd corpse
Ouistreiehcd upon the plain;
Alas that wars soul-Tending peal
Should be more 6ereely Jung,
And battle fields more wo reveal
Than when the earth was young
Earth hath her woes--ihe widow slOops
Beneath Affections power;
Sadly the houseless orphan droops
Like some untimely foweri

4 CURIOUS STORY.

from friend the cause of tho recent change of

braces the history Of family who have in a

the ancestor of Mr.. Yulee to check and punish;
and so doing he was compelled to throw the young

FIRST-RATE EXCUSE,

A subscriber to the Christian Advocate being
called on to pay bill Of s. go for that piper
excuses himself by saying that in tho frs. place
he mover ordered the paper; and if he did, he
got it; and if he did twas as an q CONT; and
beside, he paid long ngo; and if he didn't he has
got nothing to pay; and if he had, he could plead
the act of Limitation. OF course no ought to be
excused, and have the paper son, another year
gratis.
The above reminds US Of similar case. We
called on an ANIMAL in the shape Of man, some-
time since, and presented his bill for advertising,
which had been upon books about two years.
After litlo hesitation he said-"I paid that bill
long ago and have q receipt for it, We asked
him to be eood enough to show his receipt and
we would balance the account. He again hest
tated short time, and then sad-"It never was
in your paper; it was in the other paper" We
took our file of papers and pointed to the adver-
tisement. After looking at it he said--'I never
ordered it put in your paper. and won't pay for
it." Wo replied, we can prove that you directed
1t to be published in our paper.-"Well,' said he.
