The Winter OF the Heart,

Let il never come upon you. Live so that
good angels may protect you from tbs terrible
evil-the winter Of the heart Let no chill
ing influence freeze up he fountains of sym
pa,hy and happiness in its depths, no cold
Lurthen settle over its witheIed hopes, like
snow on the faded flowers, no rude blasts Of
discomfort moan ard shrek through It's desc
lated chambers.
Your life-path may lead you through trials,
which for time seemed utterly TO impede
your progress, and shut out the very GHt OF
heaven from your anxious gaze. Penury may
take the place of eISe ard plenty; your luXu-
rious room may be changed for an humble one
the soft couch for a straw pallet-the rich
yandS for the coarse food of the poor Sum.
mer friends may fors Ike you, with scarcely a
look or word of compassion.
You may be forced TO toll YEARLY, steadily
on, to earn a livelihood; you may encounter
frauds and the base avarice that would eXlort
the last farthing, till Yen well nigh turn in
disgust from your fellow beings. Deaths may
sever the dear ties that bmd you to earth and
leave you in fearful darkness. That noble,
manly boy, the sole hope OF your declining
wears, may be taken from you while your Spir.
it clings 10 him with wild tenacily; which
even the shadow of the tomb cannot wholly
Subdue.
But amid all these sorrows, DO not come 10
the conclusion that nobody was ever so deep
" affl icled as you are, and abandon every an
| tcipation Of "bctter days" in tie unknown
future. Do not lose your faith in human eX-
celience, because your confidence has some
times been betrayed, nor believe that friend.
ship is only a 'euSiOn, and love bright
phantom which gldes away from your grasp
Do not think you are faled TO be miserable
because you are sOppointed in your exptc
tations, and bafIled in your pursuits, Do moi
declare that God has forsaken YOU when yOur
way is hedged about with thornS, or lepinC
snfuny when he calls your dear ones TO The
land beyond .he grave. Keep holy trust ii
heaven through every trial; bear acverSit!
with fori,ude, and look upward in hours o
temptation and suffering. When your locks
are white; your eyes dim, and YOUR limbs wea
ry, when your steps falter on the verge 0
deaths gloomy vale, still retain the freshneS
and buoyancy of spirit which will shield yol
from the winter Of the heart.
