LIFE is SWEET.

20, life is sweet" said merry child,
"And love, love to rosm
In the meadows green, meath the sky serene;
o! the world is fairy home.
There are trees hung thick with blossoms fair,
And flowers gay and bright;
There's the moons clear ray, and the sunlt Gay
O. the world is world OF Hght!
"O!Hfe is sweet % said gallant youth,
As he conned the stored page
And he pondered OH the days by-gone,
And the fame Of former age
There was hope in his bright and beaming eyes,
And he ionged for ripper years;
He chung 10 life he dared its strife
He felt no dread nor fears.
70! life is sweet" came merrily
From the lips OF fair young bride;
And happy smile she gave the while,
To the dear one by her side.
"Ol life is sweet for we will live
Our constancy to prove
Thy sorrows mine, my trials thine
Our solace in our love-
30 life is sweet" said mother fond,
AS she gszed on her helpless child,
And closer pressed to her sladdened breast
Her babe, who unconscious smiled
my life shall be for thee, my child,
Pure, guiltless, as thou art;
And who shall dare my soul ~ tear
From the tie that forms part?"
10! life is sweet" said an aged sire,
Whose eye was sunk and dim;
His form was bent his strength was spent,
Could life be sweet 10 him
o, yes for round the old mans chair
His chidren's children chung,
And each dear face and warm embrace
Made life seem ever young.
Thus life is sweet, from early youth
To weak, enieebled age,
Love twines with life, through care and strife,
In every varied stage.
And though, perchance the path is rough,
And dark the sky above,
In every state there's something yet,
Tolive for and TO love.

THE MINIATURE.


,,,,ers work, oh how it fails
To tell what thou art now
And all thy nobler beauty veiis
Beneath that joyous brow.
70, II has made that brow of snow
So free from thought and care,
That Life's emotions do but sno"
In sportive action there.
II gives thee only Hopes bright eyes,
And hair of Youths gay hue,
And spreads along the cheek such dyes
As are young Beauty's due.
II teaches thy soft lips to smile,
As though that smile had birth -
In realms where there is known no guie-
No baneful breath OF earth.
And oh! within those lips seems hia
A voice that well might SPEAK
And tell Of love, as Psyche's dio,
When pressed to Cupid's cheek.
The rose above thy temple bound
Amid its leaves OF green
Ia there an emblem aptly touno
or what thy life had been
Yes Natures gfts-Arrs plastic hand,
Have made her wondrous fair;
Rut did she now before them stand,
THEY'D find her lorelier there.
THEW now might see. how Time has given
Those eyes mellowed light;
Benignant, us in orbs kind Heaven
Has sent to gladden. Night.
And how that cheek, where conscious glows
The sense of duties filled
Is lovelier far than when the rose
Its bushes there distilled.
Or could they open her pure breast
And lay its pulses bare;, 49,.
By husband, children kin dred blest,
Who its fond throbbing snare;
Or seize the welcome words that fall
Like Music's magic sound;
Echoing Affections plainuve call,
And soothing Grief when found
Could they but trace the winning ways
That bind my steps 70 home;
Or feel the bliss her pen conveys,
Whene'er, abroad, roam;
A chapet now would be her crown,
Where every flower il bears
Would tell that for each beauty flown,
Some moral grace appears.
No mner's skill-no painters art
Can this bright crown confer
But there Is ONE who sees the heart,
And wreathes such flowers for her.
