THE SOURCE OF JOY.

Joy springs in the heart that is tender and kind.
Like fountain that kisses and toys with the
wind;
Whence rills tricke softly to blend with the
ground,
Spreading freshness and ,verdure and beauty
around.
O! seek not for joy in The depth Of the bowl,
Nor quench in its poison the fire Of the soul;
Each draught leaves seed that will quicken aud
An Upas wher with grief and despair.
No reveliing yields not the bliss We desire,
Though poets have sung in lis praise to the Tyre
True happiness flows in still silent stream,
Not whirng in eddies as some fond|y dream.
1t is found in The peace and comforts Of home,
1t is lost to the heart when in exile we roam;
1t is glmpsed in the smiles oftacts VIC love-,
Like star beaming forth from its station above.
Put il blessps not those who branded with guilt
For the victim betrayed or The blood idly split;
1t flies from the miser, the selfish, the proud,
And eIudes their pursuit till they lie in the slroud
Be kind to thy ncighbor, but stern 10 thysef
Grant free 10 wre!ches the aid Of ,hyself;
Press hopefully torward-the treasure is thine,
A treasure more precious than turks in the mine !

"But the morning ITSELF few people, inhabi-
tants Of cities, know anything about. Among
all our good people, not one in thousand sees
the sun rise once year. They know nothing
of the morning. Their idea of it is, that it is
that part of the day which comes along after a
cup of coffee and a beetsteak or piece of toast
With them, morningis not a new issuing of light,

ARMIES IN THE AIR-From' time immei1iori;
occurrences which could have been accounted for
on natural principles, have been received as omens
of forthcoming events-and, however reason may
tend to dissipate such fancics, yet there are few
minds which are so free from superstition, as en-
tirrly to cast aside belief in these apparently SUI
pcrnatural events. Some prognostics are Sup
posed to have local, and Others more general
bearing. The appearance of armies marching in
the air is Of the latter class, and is supposed to
indicate approaching war, tie idea of war being
naturally associated with that of soldier The
citizens of marlborough, New York, are said
to have been favored a few days since, with the

light. If this sight were really witnessed as sta
ted We should like to know if there are any SOL
ders stationed within ten or twenty miles of
that town. If there be, then the phenomenon
can be explained, without resorting to the mi
raculous If there be not, we must suspect the
appearance was an optical delusion. The Duke
de Sully witnessed similar exhibition, in day
light. The armies appeared to approach each
other in the air, and to engage in tremendous
battle. The maneuvering, firing, &C., were dis.
tinctly seen-and finally, the retreat of one of
the armies. The attention of the whole village
where the Duke then was, was directed to the
spectacle. On the next day, an account was re-
ceived of great battle which had been fought
at the very time indicated by the appearance in
the air showing that the atmospheric phenome-
non was the reflection of occurrences then tram
spring. This is the solution given by the duke
de Sullv, and is no doubt correct But, whilst
we would, in every case, endeavor to account for
extraordinary appearances or events, some occur
renccs take place which cannot be explained by
our philosophy Scientific American. a.
