FORBEARANCE, AN ILLUSTRATION.

There are pleasant spots where no sunbeams
glow,
There are fertile wells where no rivers flow,
There are flowers that bloom where no south
winds come,
And the air is stirred with the drowsy hum
OF bees, where the place seem not 10 be
fitting haunt for such melody
And we wonder much that things should be
Sc,
Till, searching above and searching below,
We the hidden secret of Nature Know.
There are cheerful homes where the light Of
day
Steals in with family glimmering ray;
Where the labor is hard, and coarse the bread,
And but scanty rest for the weary head
Where childhood is nursed by Hunger gaunt,
And clasped in the cold embrace of Want.
And we wonder much until we find
That a faith which never looks behind
Gives feet to the lame and eyes to the blind.
There are yearnig hearts that wander on
Through life, as ii seeking ligh, that is
gone
Though no Outward cause of grief appear,
Yet no friendly hand may stay the tear,
Which only in silent sadness reveals
AL tndi Tie uesolale spirit feels:
These love not darkness, they seek for light
But what other eyes seems most bright,
To them brings naught but despair and blight
There are gentle natures that strangely turn
From the hearths where Love doth warmly
burn,
Who hearken not TO Flattery's voice,
Who care not for wealth, but make their choice
To dwell alone, that so they may hear
The MUSES. sweet voice forever near:
And amid the treasures OF the mind
A solace and support they find,
Than friendship far more true, more kind.
This is sNature's grand primeval law,
That from many sources the soul shall draw
Happiness, profit, strength and content,
As from every changing element,
The leafy tree and the springing flower,
Derive new beauty and added power:
Then blame not thy mates thai they do no,
see
Each feature Of truth as il charmeth thee,
But abide IN thine own sincerity,
Sunbury American. [volume] (Sunbury, Pa.) 1848-1879, 1849-10-13

What is there that any average number of
of US have ever enjoyed, and still deem worth
enjoying, which we have been rendered in
capable OF relishng through the maturity of
our growth, and the firmer set of our sticnl-
ders ? Are we less delighted than in child
hood with the delicious creations Of soaring
imagination, or the brilliant colourings of a
warm fancy? Has poetry or music failed to
charmus! Have we ceased TO dwell with pro-
found enjoyment on The life-hallowing, soul
eleva,ing prcsentments of the painter, the
SCULPTOR and the dramatstl Do we turn with
safety from the singing of birds, or the bud
ding of flowers, or the sparkling gems, which,
at morn and eventide, bend the fresh green
grass and deck the opening leaflets of the haw-
thorn! Do summers's genial showers and sun.
shine gladden. less than of old? Isthere no lon
ger a grateful response in our hearts for the
plentitude Of autumn's soresl Or has winter
itself lost any of its household Joys, its social
charities, and fire-side endearments! Nay,
by the flight of years, ard the furrowng of
our brows we acquired some sources of plea
sure which are wholly new.
