WISE PRAYERS.

Girc me neither poverty nor riches. We
have here the prayer of a sage, who asks
~mediocrity of condition and the philos-
ophy of all nations has acquiesced in the
business of this sentiment. All eRlight-
ened men must be aware of the calami-
ties of greatness, and OF the temptations
attendant on wealth, luxury and honor.
And shrinking, on the other hand, at pow
erty and want. they have given the lar
gest share of happiness to the middle
rank of society. But this, after all, is
but vain philosophy; for the poor man,
undisturbed by the pride of knowledge,
sings in his cottage as the thrush in the
copse. The middle ranks are not con-
tented with their lot, but are daily pres.
sing towards wealth and dignity while

TO B.. C###*##
And has the hour so soon arrived,
For us dear friend to parti
Shall / no more behold thy smile,
Nor clasp thee to my hearth
little thought, when first l lovd
Thee, kindred spirit dear,
SO soon to mourn my absent friend,
And shed tho parting tear.
But I must try to be content
With what God has decreed:
Though painful thus with friends to part
His grace is all / need.
I know He can, and trust he will
Supply my cv'ry want
All that is needful for my good,
lie will in mercy grant.
But I had hoped when death shall come,
To call me to my rest,
might recline my dying heac
Upon thy faithful breast,
And that my soul, from thence might soar
To that bright world on high,
Where kindred spirits never part;
And loy'd ones never die.
But though no kindred heart should sigh,
When | shall sink to rest;
hope to lean my dying head
Upon my Savior's breast
And calmly there my breath resign
To Him, by whom twas giV'n,
And bid this world of sin adieu,
To dwell at home in Heav'n,
And there | hope again to meet
Thy smile, and share thy love;
How pure, dear friend, will be our JOY,
In that bright world above.
If aught can add to bliss supreme,
Pm sure that it must be,
To spend with those We love on earth,
A blest eternity. O.
Then let it be our prayer,
That when we meet above,
That all our friends may with us share
Our dear Redeemer's love.
And let us ever strive to live
Devoted to the Lord;
And manifest our love to Him,
BY ev'ry act and world un1u.
