who wish to perpetuate the remembrance OF a no.

Mischief Makers.

Oh, could there in the world be found
Some little spot of happy ground,
Where village pleasures might go round
Without the village tattling!
How doubly blest that spot would be
Where all might dwell in liberty,
Free from the bitter misery,
Ofgossips' endless Prattling.
II such spot were really known,
Dame Peace might call il as her own,
And in it she might fix her throne,
Forever and forever;
There like queen might reign and live,
While every one would soon forgive
The little Sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
IT'S mischief makers that remove
Far from our hearth he warmth Of love,
And lead US all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure;
They seem to take ones part-but when
They've heard our cares, unkindly then
They soon retail them all again,
Mixed up with poisonous measure.
And then they've such cunning way
Of telling i'll meant tales; they say,
Don't mention it, pray,
would not tell another"
Straight to your neighborS then they go,
Narrating every thing they know;
And break the peace OF high aud low.
Wife, husband, friend and brother.
Oh, that the mischief making crew
Were all reduced to one or two.
And they were painted red and blue.
That every one might know them !
Then would our villagers forget
10 rage and quarrel, ttme and fret,
And fall into an angry pet,
With things So much below them.
For tits sad, degrading part
10 make another's bosom smart,
Aud plant dagger in the heart
We ought to love and cherish
Then let US eyermore De found
In quietness with all around,
While friendship, joy and peace abound,
And angry feelings perish

BRIGHT AND GLOOMY HoURs.-Ah this beau
tful world. Indeed know not what to think Of
it. Sometimes it is all gladness and sunshine ,and
Heaven itself is not far off Aud then it changes
suddenly and is dark and sorrowful ,and the clouds
shut out the sky. In the lives Of the sadest OF u.s.
there are bright days like this, when we feel a'
if we could take the great world in our arms"
Then come the gloomy hours, when the fire will
neither burn in our hearts. nor on our hearths
