Good wives to snails should be akin,
Always their houses keep within;
But not to carry fashions hacks,)
All they are worth upon their backs.
Good wives like echoes still should do,
Speak but when they're spoken to-;
But not like echoes (mcst absnrd,)
To have forever the last word.
Good wives like city clocks should rhyme,
Be regular and keep in time
But not like city clocks aloud,
Be heard by all the vulgar crowd.

A Spring Morning.

To walk abroad among rural scenery on a
fine sunny morning, is to ramble on The tenn
pie Of Deity, and witness the creative process.
Every day, almost every hour, Witnesses
some change; buds, blossoms, leaves and
flowers are woven by unseen hands, painted
by invisible artists, aud perfumed from sviais
full of odofs sweet, I'VE look upon them in
the moming with surprise and pleasure, while
the first dew and sunbeam are visiting them.
What an admirable and perfect taste must
He have, who performs oil this. There is no
noise, no useless display. The Creator therein
teaches modesty 10 his creatures. His good
ness is also visible--,he blossoms soon per-
ish, but their hue and fragrance are the brea-
thing OF benevolent mind. Look at the
multitude Of little heaps Of sand that lie in
the paths and suffer your eye 10 rest for a
moment upon The busy and apparently happy
insect that brings out bis gram Of sand.
Nothing seems TOO minute and insignificant

present stale Of society, this is in great
measure unavoidable; but le, us remember
it is an evil, and that so far as il IS avoidable.
