LIFE Is SWEET L.

80, life is sweet" said a merry child,
"And love, love TO roam
In the meadow 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 sunIit day
o! the world Isl world Of light =
40! life is Veet !" said gallant YOUTH
As he conned the stored page,
And he pondered on the days by gone,
And the fame Of formerage.
There was hope in his bright and beaming eyes
Andhc lOnged for ripper years
lie cung to life he dared its STRIFE
lie felt no dread nor fears.
90! lie is sweet y came merry
From the lips Of fair Young brides
And HAPPY smile she gave the while,
To the dear ono by her side,
30. life is sweet for we will live
Our consistency to prove
Thy sorrows mine, my trials thine
Our solace in our owe
20! life is sweet y said mother fond,
As she gazed on her helpless child,
And closer pressed to her gladdened breast
Her babe, who unconscious smiled,
"My lie shall be for thee, my child,
Pure, gntess, as thou art;
And who shall dare my soul to teer
From the tue that forms part y
90 lie is sweet" said an aged sire,
Whose eye was sunk and dim;
His form was bent, his strength was spent,
Could life be sweet to him !
0, yes for round the old mans chair
His childrcn's children clung.
And each dear face aud warm embrace
Made life seem ever young.
Thus life is sweet, from early youth
TO weak, enieebcd age,
Love twincs with life, through care and strife,
In every varied state
And though, perchauce, the path is rough,
And dark the sky above,
In every state there's something yet,
To live for and to love.

or The wing Senator from Vermont, Mr..
Phelps, says Of the fugitive slave law;
OF the constiutionaljty Of the act never
entertained doubt. II is but the echo OF the
constitution itself. II may be modified |, may
requile modification in some particulars; but
the notifications lie within the range Of egisla-
tive discretion, aud difference of opinion in
relation TO them affects not the question Of con-
slitutionalny Il would be difficult to carry out
the provision Of the constitution without law
substantially like the one in question: Tho
main purpose Of the act-ihe surrender OF the
fugve-ia demanded by the constitution itself
the manner Of return is left 10 legislative provs-
ion. Ifihere be anything Objectionable in that.
the remedy is by appeal to legislative discretion,
not by resistance to the law. II appears TO mo
that we have but one alternative to car
ny out the law or repudiate the constitution.
And yet this man Phelps voted against this
act, this techo Of the constitution" His con-
version Is one of The better signs Of the tines
