Yes, Pastor. thou hast truly spoker;-
We are the autu,nn's fading leai,-
Our feeble grasp as easy broken,
Our bloom aud beauty quite as br'ei!
And of ere autumn's frost and chillness
Preys upon our life-spring's flow,
We bow to sorrow, pain and Illness,
And like the leahet lay US low.
Bat not The autumn's chill that's soaring,
What remains OF summers blight,
Nor the piundering reptile, fearing,
Tie cleaning Of the torch-man's light,
Can so destroy as canker's blighting,-
D..ep hidden in q y itherins heart
And in its woe-depths stunning, sighting
Fen kindly glances on its smart
The dews of night in silence falling,
All unseen by mortal eye,
Are like the angnsh'd SPIRITS thralling,
By which we slow ly fade, and die
And a. The eaaet hides lis brother,
Upon the bosom of the earth,
To mouder now, then take another
Reaateous form OF Spring day brth,-
So we may fall in silent sadness,
And BY our loy'd one, be forgot,
But Faith may rest in chasten'd gIadness,
For heareniy love will mark the spot
