WILL SAID.-We find the following couch
ing alIusion 10 the drunkard's wife in well
written article on Winter, in a late Bangor
Wing:
but there is one on whose sinking heart
the thoughts of dreary winter, beat with
more than ocean surge. The drunkard's
wife Alas! the beauties Of summer have lost
the power to charm back into life her brok-
en- aud wasted energies. The deep fountain
Of her heart have long since swept away and
burned in one common grave all the bright
anticpatiOns Of bliss that shown on her early
life. With what deep and dark fore bodings
does the gathering pail Of winter envelope
her Responding soul. What is there Of eartIy
good that she can call her own? OF what
avail 10 her is the sympathy Of friends? Il
is but the twnkIing light Of far distant stars
that shine, it is true, but their brightness
canno! warm into life soul bereft OF its long
cherished and life giving sun. TO her the
luminary Of her early days has set, and a
darkness that, in sad reality, mBy be felt, i;
the portion of her cup"

YAzoo CITY, NII) FRIDAY. APRIL q, 1916.

Then Faith raised the child, and led her
forth from The shade of the trees, and point
ed TO the Sun said
"a shadow is passing over the face there
Of but no ray Of his glory is extinguised, lie
still walketh in brightness, and thou shalt
again delight myself in his beams. See
even yet his face is not wholly hiden from us.
But the child dared not lock up, for the
gloom struck upon her heart.
And when all was bright again, she feared
to wonder from her sister, and her sports
were less gay than before.
When eventide was come; Faith wenr
forth from the forest Of shades, and sought
the lawn where she might watch the sitting
of the sun.
Then said she to her young sister, "Come
and behold how far tue glories of the sunset
transcend The beauties of the morning. See
how softly they melt away, and give place
TO the shadows of night.''
But Hope was now weary,-her eye was
heavy, and her voice languid. She folded
herradient wings and dropped on her sisters
bosom, and fell asleep.
But Faith watched through the night
She was never weary; nor did her eyelids
need repose.
She laid the child on bead of flowers,
and kissed her cheek. She also drew her
mantle round the head of the young sleeper
that she might sleep in peace.
Then Faith looked upwards, and beheld
how the stars came forth. She traced them
in their radiant courses, and listened TO
their harmonies, which mortal ear hath not
heared
And as she listened, their music cniranced
her soul.
At length light appeared in the East, and
the Sun burst forth from The portals of the
Heavens. Then the spirit fastened to rouse
The young sleeper.
awake . my sister! awake!'' she cried
"a new day hath dawned, and no cloud shall
overshadow il. Awake, for the sun hatI
arisen which shall set no more.''

Faith and Hope.
BY DR.. CARPENTER.


One morning, as the sun arose, two spirits
went upon the earth.
And they we're sisters; but Faith was of
maforthture age, while Hope was vet child.
They were both beautiful. Some loved
to gaze upon the countenance of Faith, for
her eye was serene, and her beauty changed
not; but Hope was the delight Of every eye.
And the child sporled in the freshness Of
the morning; and as he lowered over the
gardens and dewy lawns, her wings glitter
ed in the sunbeams like a rainbow.
"Come, my sister, she Cried" and chase
with me the butterfly from flower to flower"
But her sister was gazing at the lark. as
it arose from its low nest and warbled among
the clouds.
And when it was noon, the child said again
"Come, my sister, and pluck with me the
flowers of the garden, for they are beautiful,
and their fragrance is sweet"
But Faith replied: -"Nay, my sister, let
the flowers be there, for thou art young and
deliQhtest myself in their beauty. will

day be past. Thou wilt find me by the foun-
tain Of the forest. When thou art weary,

was mournful.

Nor rants that tttle iOng.''
You bear with grace, the ills you have,
And make a virtue of necessity:
You swear a vulture is dove,
And pgans sing to great obesity.
Your idol, you would choose to take
From ponds, and sloughs, and such like
places,
A nymph o. the woods or the break,
A Dian in your panther chases.
You'd love your spouse 20 whoop and shout,
To drown the panther's hideous scream;
You'd love to see her jump and pitch about,
Like any mule in Pompey's team.
You'd like to have her tall and bulky,
Her feet of weight-her hands inur'd TO toll
You'd have her stout and hale and hearty,
A mate to til the 'glorious" soil.
Now, here we are at issue friend,
AS lawyers in their pleadngs say;
cannot my concurrence lend
To your Swamp-heroc lay.
"Iwould not from the foaming sea''
AS young enthusiast sailors sings"
Nor would from the filthy slough,
''My bride, dripping" monster bring.
Nor bride, nor mistress would take
From women of the western wild,
Bonn in a slough, bred in a breake,
A huge unpublished child.
would not wed great she-wolf,
Who's not afraid of man or dell;
I'd fear she's too much de'll herself
And wears a heart as hard as steel.
would not wed tough-sAin'd lass,
Whose weights SO great and foot's SO round
She'd Mill the serpents-and the grass
That grows upon the ''glOriOus.' ground.
wouldn't have whooping, shouting wife
Whose lullaby's panther's scream,
Who 'minges in her sturdy life,"
The noise, the force, the power of steam.
Iwant (whO but you'd not want) wife
That's pretty, delicate, and fair:
'Of temper sweet to tear the woes of life
'Of yielding will'-of mild and placid air
Such be my bride, my love, my joy,
My sOlace through this vale of tears;
With such, I'd love to live, end toy
Away life-e'en an hundred years

Religion seems to point US out the ready
way 10 the right enjoyment of life, by giving
US prospect Of better beyond it; without
this view we must look on our condition
with contemplate think ourselves unhappy
TO be shut up in flesh, only TO be the objects
of calamity and prey of distempers. Burnett,
in his Theory of the Earth, has set this
thought in an excellent light. What is
this life, says he, but circulation Of little
mean actions! We lie down and raise again,
dress and uRdress, feed and again become
hungry, work or play, and ale weary. and
then we lie down again, and the circle re-
turns. We spend the day in trilles and
when the night comes, we throw ourselves
into the bed, there to dream, and encounter
broken thoughts and wild imaginations.-
Our reason lies asleep by US, and we for a
time resemble the biutes, that sleep in the
stalls, or in the fields. Are not the cap1.
cities of man higher than these; and ought
not his ambition and expectations to be
greater! Let us be adventures for another
world, tits at least fair and noble chance
and there is nothing in this worth oul
thoughts, or our passions. If we should be
disappointed, we are still no worse than ouI
fellow. mortals; and if we succeed in on
expectations, we are externally happy. TIL,
prospect Of future state is the secret com
fort and refreshments of our souls; it
that which makes nature look gay about US
it doubles all our pleasures, and supports U
under all Affections. We can look at dis
appointments and misfortune, pain and scl
ness, death itself, and what is worse tina
death, the loss of those who are dearest
US, with indifference, SO long as we kee
in view the pleasures Of eternity, and II
state of being in which there will be I
fears nor apprehensions, pains nor sorrow
sickness nor separation. Why will any m;
], be SO impertinently of1icious, as to tell US a
that this is only fancy and delusiOn.
there any merit in being the messenger
;. ill news! If it is dream, let Us enjoy
: since it makes US the happier and bett
q people.
