That blossom, spite Of wind and showers,
And through that shadow, dull and cold,
Emit their sparks of blue and gold. a
Bright flowers Of mirih--that wildly spring
From fresh, young hearts, and o'er them fling,
Like Indian birds with sparkling wing, ,ov
Seeds Of sweetnes. grains oil growing,
Sun-gilt leaves, with DEVELOPS flowing.
And hopes az bright, that softly CLEAN,
Like stars which DER the church yard stream
A 5eauty on each faded dream niN '''.
Mingling the light they purely shed
With other hopes, whose light has fled.
Fond mem'ries, too undimmed with sigha,
Whose fragrant sunshine never dies,
Whose summer song bird never flies
These, too, are chasing hour by hour.
The clouds which round this ptison lower.
And thus, from hour to hour, I've grown
To love iheee walls, though dark and lone,
And fondly prize each grey old stone.
Across my fottered footsteps still.
Yet let these mem'ries fall and flow # W
Within my heart, like wave glow
Unseen in spangled caves below
The foam which irets, the mists that sweep
The changeful surface Of the deep.

Which glitter in the white moons beams,

Above the rath, and ruined pile.

Above them all, these hopes l'd twine!
So should triumph o'er my fate, aE
And teach this poor responding state, sai
In signs Of tenderness, not hate, .t
Still to ihink Of our old story,
Still to hope for future glory. 'f
Within these walls, those hopes have been
The music sweet, the light serene;
Which softly DER this silent scene,

And like the autumn sunshine Elowed.

TEMPERANCE AND STRENGTH. Among
the Arabs, the Persians, and the Turks,
YOU do not meet with those under-szed,
rickety, consump!ivo beings which are
so common in Europe; you do not meet
