They converse with elegant and modest
reserve but without embarrassment, if ac-
customed to the admiration which they
inspire. They seem to preserve their
beauty TO an advanced age. This may be
attributable to the climate and the peaceful
lives III the bosom of their families, where
mind ana body are not worn out by artif-
cIal passions of society. In almost all the
families which | visited, | found the
mother as beautiful as the daughters,
though the latter were not more than
fifteen or sixteen years ofage.

Since Ceres first taught the art of tilling
the earth, and man emerged from the barba-
rous custom of eating acorns, the human fami-
ly have attempted many experiments, without
success, in the art of husbandry. Yet many
also have been made which contributed, to
some extent, in improving the production of
the soil. 1t has been, for the last half century

Man was not Made to Mourn.

There is a voice that haunts me still,
Where'er on earth be;
In lonely vale and lofty hill,
And on the distant sea-
hear it in the silent night,
And at the break Of morn;
And aye it crieth- dark or light
Man was not made to mourn
In every stream that seaward flows,
That voice salutes mine ear;
In every wind that round me blows
Its thrilling notes hear;
Ia every sound of Natures heart,
The cheerful, or forIorn,
This ever bears the better part
Man was not made 10 mourn
The sun that glads the summer noon,
The light that blessdh all,
The myriad stars, the quiet moon,
The showers from heaven that fall,
The flowers that in our meadows grow,
Our mountain path, adorn-
All, all, in their own fashion show
Man was not made to mourn.
All Nature cries aloud-but man
Regards not Natures voice;
Perverteth her benignant plan,
Her workmanship Destroys
From her fair book the brightest page
With impious hand has torn,
Yet still she cries, from age to age,
Man was no, made to mourn
O ocn,lcst mother may thy child
Ere long thy lessons read;
Embracethy prcccpts, loving, mid,
Thy fratenizing creed
Then shall the blessed end be known
For which he has been borni
And all shall feel from zone to zone,
Man was not made to mount

O, breathe not lost ones name
To him who called that one his own,
1t only stirs the smouldering fame
That burns upon charnal stone.
Ii strains chord that yields too much
Ofpiercing pity in its breath,
And hands OF mercy would not touch
A chord, made eloquent by death
Oh breathe not a lost ones name
When he who loved that one is nigh;
Il only stirs the smOuldering fame
That chokes the heart and fills the eye.
The heart may ache, and well nigh break
To miss that one forever fled =
But lips of mercy should not wake
A love that cherishes the DEAD!
