Home and Friends.

Oh there's power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed it;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be who find it,
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found us;
For life has here no charms so dear
i As home and Friends around us!
We oft destroy the priseut Joy
For future hopes--and praise them;
While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stop to raise them!
For things afar still sweetest are,
When youths bright spell hath bound MS
But soon we're taught that earth has nau Y
Like home and Friends around us.
The Friends that speed in time Of need
When Hopes last reed is shaken,
To show us still, that, come what will,
We are not quite forsaken;
Though all were night-if hut the ligh
From friendships altar crowned us,
'Twould prove the bliss of earth and this
Our Home and Friends around us!

Excessive grief is the hearts suicide; as

the future. Raise thyself up, 0 man! Hook

and brighter than earth. with its worms

a soul filed with bloominess and mistrust,
the heavy, stagnant air chokes the growth
of all spirit blossoms. Let your heart O.
pen to sweet sympathy and compassion,
but not to cold mistrust and detection; as
the flower remains open to the dew, but
closes its leaves against the rain So little
is suffering; so much is happiness, a prop

measures of delnsion, we repent only that
which has panied, not that which has Civ

Great bereavements work afterwards

DO YOU REALLY THINK lie Did!

I waited till the twilight,
And yet he did not come;
l strayed along the brok side;
And slowly wandered home;
When who should come behind me,
But him would have child;
He said he came to find me-
Do you really think he hid7
He said, since last we parted,
He'd thought of nought so sweet,
AS of this very moment
The moment we should mfet.
He showed me where half shaded,
V cottage home lay hid;
He said for me he made it
Do you really think he did!
He said when first he saw me
Life seemed at once divine;
Each night. he drcamtof angels,
And every face was mine;
Sometimes a voice in sleeping,
o ould all his hopcsforbid;
And then he wakened weeping
Do you really think he did,

this heavenly calm and freedom from caret
fortune connot, for she gives, as she take4
away, by starts; and we feel ever the shocks
Of fate, whether they lift us up to heaven
or cast us down to earth
But in what way can man effect this?---
Not by planting toys, but in uprooting
and removing sorrows, so that the soil, un-
checked by weeds, may of itself bear sweet
fruits; not by mans seeking after joys, and
building up for himself heaven upon heav-
en-, which often single cloud may wholly
veil. but by removing the furies mask from
grief, and uncovering and looking steadily
upon its daily actors face. Ifman has on
ly once unmasked--that is, conquered grief
he holds already the gardenkey ofEden;
for there remains 10 him, beside all the
higher blessings of circumstance and Of du-
ty, the still, untroubled happiness ofexisf
tence, which in this freedom sorrow and
joy, can expand in fullness and strength, q
a happiness which, although in lower
degree, the savage in his hut, the son Of
the East under the shadow of his tree, and
the countryman on his house door bench,
also enjoy; whilst without aught TO do or
aught to receive, he stretches himself there,
quietly aud at rest, and looks upon and feels
the world without. And this tranquil feel.
ing, not sorrow alone, but rapture. too, de-
stroys; for as it is an abiding feeling, SO.
too, it is weaker one. Thus have we q
perennial forgetme-not of joy within us,
but no similar one of pain; and thus is the
blue firmanent creates than ever cloud that
is therein, and more lasting too. ...
