Let rskes extol rowing life,

OF noisy brals and scolding wife,
And DOCTORS bills, and all that:
Though fools may rail, and jest, and scof,
A wife's the thing for all that;
The time, they'll fnd is not far of,
When SO they'll think, for all that.
'Tis true, when youth and fortune smile.
And health is firm, and all that;
When wine, and song, and dance beguils-
Variety, and all that;
When every place where'er you roam
Has Jolly friends, and all that;
You want for neither wife nor home,
Nor sympathy, nor all that.
But age comes on, with stealthy pace,
And sober thoughts, and all that;
Trouble will show her frowning face,
Sickness, and pain, and all that;
The feast, the bowl will lose their powers,
And revelry, and all that's
Then shall we need, 10 cheer the hours,

Thy gentle cares begule our pains,
Our sleepess nights, and all that;
Thy voice the signing soul sustuins,
With hope and trust, and all that.

THE VOICES OF SPRING.


THE VOICES OF SPRING
Breathing hope those that lapgcsh,
Come the voices of the SPRING.
Though the souls be dimmed with anguish,
Gently they echoing.
Few the hearts, howcer enshroudcG,
BY The worlds unceasing strife.
That the tones lraught with beauty,
Wake not TO better life.
Not alone the bird notes ringing
Joyous through the lea!y wood
Not alone the wild brooks singing,
Tell us that our God is goodi
But each leaf and fragrant blossom
Hath discord mars,
Gently the rapt heur falling,
Like the music of the stars.
On the grares lore hath haowed
Bloom the snowy, siar-eyed MOWERS;
Wake they not with holy whispers,
All the souIs exalted powers
Listen 1nourner! sad heart listen
To the voices God hath sent;
Frightening by their kindly teaching,
All the life his love hath lent.
