The beautiful is vanislted and returns not
We shall miss thee when the flowers
Come again with vernal hours
Brightly though the roses bloom
They will whisper of the tomb.
And thy voice will linger still
la The gurgle of the rill,
In the murmurs low and sweet
Where the silver waters meet;
In the summer evenings gale
Sporting with the vioet's pale
Meekly with their blue eyes weep
Ger thy still and solemn sleep,
And the wild birds gentle moan
Mnrmur DER thy slumbers lone,
Like viewless spirits lay
Asking of thee far away.
On thy brow so pale and fair,
On thy dark and glossy hair,
Wreathed in many shining braid,
Sad autumnal flowers were laid:
Slowly to thy tomb they bore thee,
Tender farewell's murmured DER thee,
Yelled thee in silence deep
In thy last and dreamless sleep.
Where thou Hest soft and low,
Winter spreads his sheet of snow,
Pure and spotless as thy form
Thou nearest not the surly storm
Sweeping Ger the dazzling world
Stars are cleaning pale and cold
On thee from the vault above,
Like the watchlul ewes of love.

BY Mr.: Arnold, who was stopping at the Broad

PAYING DEBTS.-One of our religious ex-
changes has the following strong remarks on
this subject. They drive the nail i'll to the head
and clinch it:
"N1en may sophisticate as they please, they
can never make it right and all the laws in the
universe cannot make ii right for them not to
pay their debts. There is sin in this neglect as
clear and as deserving church discipline, as in
stealing or false swearing. He who violates his
promises to pay, or wihholds the payment of a
debt when it is in his power to meet his en-
gagements, ought to be made to fell that, in the
sight of all honest men, he isa swinder. Reli-
gion may b a very comfortable cloak under
which to hide; but if religion does not make a
man ''deal JUSTLY" it is not worth having.

10 There is healing in the bitter cup. God
takes away, or removes far from us, those we
love, as hostages of our faith, (fI may SO express
it;) and to those who look forward to reunion
in another world, where there will be no separa-
ton, and no mutability, except that which arises
from perpetual progressiveness, the evening of
life becomes more delightful than the morning,
and the sunset offers brighter and ovelier visions
than those which we build up in the morning
Clouds and and which appear before the strength Of
