The Angel Side.

BY DAVID.
Say not earth is wholly fearful
Blooms no more with Eden charms;
Angels pure, and kind, and cheerful,
Still survive her whitening harms:
Smiling Pleasure, blooming Beauty,
Music, Courage, Love, and Truth,
Pure Religion, Pence and duty,
Faith ard Hope, divinely soothe.
When the spirit, calm and quiet,
Joys to feel and love and do,
Feasted as on heavenly diet,
Pleased and ever pleasing too;
Then the bosom seems TO treasure
Something of sweet control,
Genial Seraph! thou art pleasure,
Welcome, welcome to my soul.
When the prime of blossoms vernal,
Fairest, loyenes, unfold;
When the bounteous Hand Paternal
Robes the fields in ripened gold;
Then 1t seems a seraphs duty
Pencils here empyrean dyes;
Lovely Angel! thou art beauty;
Ever welcome to these eyes:
Echolog in the ba'my zephyr,
Tender notes of tunelu j,ys
Please the ear, and gladden. ever,
Natures animatiug voice:
o when joyful sounds ringing,
Softened to melodous tune!
Biisafnl music! thou art singing,
Ever with thy ears commune.
Storms of vengeance, fiercely gIaring,
Blaze with prosecutions fire;
Yet With firm and noble daring,
Mounts The soul in virtue higher:
There's a voice within to nourish
:. Manly toilings for the right;
Noble Spirit! thol art Courage
Keep my moral armour bright.
Comes pure and generous feeling,
Touching sweetly every nerve;
Kindly to The heart appealing;
Mercy's bidding glad 10 serve:
Pleased, when others joys are clearest,
Soo:he when bleeding sufferers pine;
Blest Archangel! purest dearest!
Thou art Love, and be thou nine.
When the spirit deih sincerely
Gulleiess words and wishes breathe:
As the fountain gushing clearly,
Showeth every pearl beneath:
True and undefIed by malice,
Faithful as devoted Ruth;
There's guest within her palace;
ShiLing angel! thou art Truth
Comes conscious sense of error,
Oiious to the eye alone;
Ihen TO hush aveuging terror,
Something whispers. "Jesus-Love;
Jesus pardons, seek him lowy;
Jesus, purity bestows."
Kind Religion! Seraph holy!
Be our balm and meek ref 6se.
Then each power and passion, beating
To the music of the mind,
Giveth each a social greeting,
All to reasons voice inclined -
la us, round ds, and ubove US,
Gladsome whispers tell of Peace;
Peace the gentle seraph heyers,
FROM ner olive dropping ease.
Then there is a pathway glorious,
Where with noble steps we move; i
Over cankerlDg sloth victorious,
B,dy mind and soul improve;
Pleased with Duty's active measures,
Glad we comfort and delight;
Duty, rich in peerless treasures,
Gems our crowns with jewels bright.
w nat II lowening tempests gather,
Pouring flood and hail and fire;
Wonder sits your Heavenly Father,
Chaning ruins scathng ire:
Faith behods him and adoring,
Lays US in his sheltering arms;
There we smile at tempests roaring;
Fotked with impotent alarms:
Hope too meekly goes before US,
Living portrait of smile;
Sees the future bright with glories;
Though dark shadows float the while;
Hangs each cloud with golden fingers,
Gilds the night with cheering dawn;
Sees yon gate of "heayenly hinges"
Opening when the Blest are gone.
Thus, for every needful season,
Some angelic hand arrives;
And a Cherub's breath may sweeten
Every moment of our lives:
Eye and ear and heart and spirit
Hath heaven born waiting guest;
NO grief comes but they can cheer if:
Only let them We are biest:
Written for the Ohio Star.
Angelique, The Quadroon Girl,
OR,
Bondage Without Chaias.
