THE MERRY HEART.

IT'S we'll to have merry heart,
However short we stray
There's wisdom in merry heart,
Whate'e. the world may say.
Philosophy may lift its head
And find out many flaw,
But give me the philosophy,
That's happy with straw.
II life but brings us happiness
1t brings us, we are told,
WHAT'S hard to buy, though rich ones try,
With all their heaps of gold!
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate'er they will Of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth.
There's beauty in merry laugh,
A moral beauty too
Il shows the hearts an honest heart
That's paid each man his due;
And lent share of what's to spare
Despite of wisdcm's fears,
And makes the check less sorrow speak,
The eye weep fewer tears.
The sun may shroud itself in clouds,
The tempest wrath begin;
It finds spark to cheer the dark,
It's sunlight is within
Then laugh away, let others say
Whate'er they will Of mirth;
Who laughs the most may truly boast
He's got the wealth of earth!

AND is the house indeed burnt down,
Where God my life did give;
Where for many a happy year,
With parents kind did live.
Who taught me all those holy truths,
Which now my life sustain;
And led my infant heart to trust
Gods pure and sacred name!
twas here my tongue first learned to lisp
The dear Redecmer's praise;
And here my mother taught me how
My voice in prayer to raise.
My Father here each night did pray
For blessings on our head;
And ev'ry morning RENDERED thanks
That none of US were dead.
Those parents dear, have bid adieu
To this dull scene Of strife;
Their spirits pure have gone to dwell
With Christ who is their life.
Two tender sisters here were born,
One brother dear was taught;
To yield obedience to His laws,
Whose blood salvation bought.
That brother now the debt has paid,
Nyyh;oJ, J,,,,,, Gin opt.ir1
But joyous is the glorious thought
Gods promise has not fail'd.
Those sisters now are in the South,
Far from their early home:
And I, poor atject one, am left
In loneliness to roam.
Dear house, farewell! within thy walls
meier can list to ferrcnt prayer,
But mcmory's power shall oft revive,
The holy songs that warbled there.
Then let us all remember wei,
We live in houses frail,
Which soon must totter to their fall,
And carth-born treasure fail.
There is a house by God prepared,
And mansions ever new,
Where thro' eternity the saints
The Sayiour's face shall view.
