The HouA of Rest.


Written for the Green Mountain Freeman.
The HouA of Rest.
"'Tis night;
The air is motionlesS, and not breath
OF wind is whispering, and the pure dew drops
From heaven, like tears from this lonely death
Of nature, while the landscape underneath,
And the vast arch above smile in the ray
OF the full moon, who clrced in her wreath
OF glory walks queen her lofty way
And pours upon the world calmer, purer day."
PERcIvAL
have sat and watched the western sky as
one by one the rich purple and golden clouds
disappeared, until the last lingering flush of
departing day has vanished and given place
to the softer, sadder hues of evening.
The same mild zephyr that is won't to
sport so lightly with the sunny curs of child
hood, kiss the brow of youth, fan the cheek
of the aged, and breathe gently over the
couch Of the dying, has whispered, as it
passed away, =" the hour of rest is nigh"
Away then, ye airy forms that haunt my
brain, and break the chain with which the
angel Of sleep would bind me. And well
come ye kind spirits who at the vesper hour
are sent on messages Of love to sprinkle the
Lethean dews over the pillow of the weary
and the mourning, to bid the young and old
alike forget their joys and their sorrows, and
rest in sweet oblivious slumbers. Is there
aught beside your silent influence that has
power to spread so sweet smile over the
sleeping infant? or send such thrill of de-
light through the mothers heart, as she fam
ces her loved one is dreaming of Heaven
DO ye not often enter the room of the care
worn student, as he bends with deep interest
over the classic page, and picture to his ex-
cited imagination bright visions of future
giury, uni he fdncies tifat the desired emf
nence is attained, and the laural wreath Of
victory enriches his brow? Ye havedeigned
to visit me, too, in the sweet hour Of rest,
while the beautiful world is shaded by the
curtain of night Ye have restored the light
OF other days, the companions of childhood
happy hours, when life seemed all enchant-
ment, the future fairy realm of unending
enjoyment. Would that your influence
might always last, that these bright dreams
were real, and the mournful thoughts that
crowd upon my waking hours were consigned
to the wave of oblivion. Oh cease fond
memory to dwell upon scenes of sadness, upon
the dark hours of life that should be ever
cheered by the sunshine of peace.
But l would not dream of the past Of
buried joys and blighted anticipations but
would lift the impenetrable veil that shroud,
the future, and learn the bliss of those who
share the eternal rest beyond the grave.
The hour of rest;" how sweet the musi,
of those words How does he who journey
through earth's painless wilderness, rejoic,
when the hour Of rest approaches; when fire,
from the cares of the day, he may commune
with himself, with the universe around him
and the beings of his memory, and his hopes
And more than all, it is an hour rendere,
sacred by the high communings of the spiri
with its Maker

FAMILY PRAYER.-Jo ohm Howard, the phi
lanthropist, is said never to have neglected
family prayer, even though there was but one,
and that one his domestic, to join in it; al
ways declaring that where he had tent, God
should have an altar. This was the case not
only in England, but in every part of Europe
which they visited together; it being his in
variable practice, wherever and whomsoever
he might be- to tell Thomasson to come to him
at certain hour; and well knowing what the
direction meant, the latter would be sure to
find his master in his room, the doors of which
he would order him to fasten. Let who would
come, nobody was admitted till devotional ex-
ercise was over.
A father once received from his child, not
four years old, one of the most severe reproofs
he ever met with. Having neglected the duty
of family prayer one morning, when the father
came home the little reprover climbed on his
knee, and said, Father, you did not pray
with us to-day" No, my dear, | did not"
4" But father, you ought, ought you not p
,chy did you not?" The father had not a
word to reply, and the child's rebuke happily
proved q lasting blessing.

THOUGHTS OF LrFE.-Life-isi it dull rou-
tine of eating, drinking, drudging, sleeping
the same thing over and over again each
succeeding day of existence, with no hope
illumined plans and prospects for the future
of this life, or of that which begins when the
esprit returns to God who gave it?"
There are men whose daily appearance and
actions mig ht lead us to think so.
Well, it IS one mode of existence.
Life--can it be filled with pleasure-seeking
and happiness? If one tries to enjoy himself,
and has nothing else to do, may he not be
cheerful and contented?
1t would seem so; but, alas! facts prove
that there is not more unhappy, discontinued
set OF men than mere pleasure-seekers.
Ennui and suicide oftener destroy the COM
fort and the life of this class than of any
other
On their monuments should be engraved
Died Of having nothing to do"
But there are men whose lives are "illus-
trated,' on whose various pages are traced
noble thoughts and aims. And here and there,
worthy Of the artists study and transfer to
canvas, are actions that stand out in bold relief
from the many generous deeds that crowd
their life-way, and that make men bless and
reverence them, and watch to read with low
ing eyes what lines they may yet trace, what
pictures yet grave, for their good and hap
piness.
Over the graves of such tears will fall and
praises, be spaken. and from their life and
death brave young hearts will learn holy
lessons and gain fresh courage to do and
endure
" In the patience of faith and the labor of love'

WELCOMED with shouts, his tales of triumph came
For there, the soldier stung with GENEROUS shame,
Riyaled the Heroes of the Watery Way
And washed in foeman's gore, reproach away
His country's noblest gift was his but fate
wrung from his grasp the potent sword Of State
A Nations tears bedew'd his fun'ral urn;
His peerless deeds shall long with spendor burn
Next in the list we name horoic Wool:
Ere Buena Vtsta's field his fame was full
When DIMENSIONS towrng heights were srewn with DEAD
Fate on his young brow, fadeless laurels shed.
A veteran from Niag'ra's distant din,
He found in Mexico, fresh wreaths to win;
Where glorys loud harp sounds his valor's praise
For actions worthy Of his former days:
While Scots and Pillow, outman, Shield and Pierce,
And WORTH and Twiggs, immortal themes for verse;
And hosts of Heroes there, bled not in vain,
There Smith and Riley, Ransom, Scott and Lane,
And Ringold, Bragg and Duncan, souls of fire;
And vinton May, and Hayes to fame aspire;
Harvey and Clay in honor's ranks VINO wed,
May justly claim their need for steel we'll tried.

Their names adorn fame's bright historic scroll;

TO Complaining.
Hush, hush me heart! be still--be still
Tho much against thy will:
As sinks the wave upon the stream
With no impression seen;
So silent let emotion sleep
Nor ruflle up the spirit deep,
Thou canst not wake the minstrel chord
That breathes the holy word
Thou canst not strike the atent note
Responsive to thine own
1t slceps,--will sleep-among the strings
note half-born, that never sings.
Will sleep, perhaps, as other lays
Have slept in by-gone days
Could but wake to minstrelsy
There's music in the key
OH in that soul what raptures lay,
'Twould mock the bird in budding spray!
Be stll--be still--thou must alone
Move on unloved, unknown
All never dare a string to try
That gives no fond reply!
Nor lisp murmur that the heart
Hath music with no counterpart.
