The Snow Storm.

BI EMERSON.
Announced by all the trumpets Of the sky.
Arrives the snow, and driving o'cr the fields,
Seems no where to alight the whited air
Hides hills and woods the river, and the heaven
And wells the farmhouse at the gardens end.
The sled and traveller stopped, the couriers feet
Delayed, all friends shut out, the houscmates sit
Around the radiant fireplace, enclosed
In tumultuous privacy of storm.
Come see the north winds masonry,
Out OF an unseen quarry evermore
Furnished with tile, the artlfcer
Curves his white bastion with projected roof
Round every windward stake, or tree or door.
Speeding, the myriad handed, his wild work
so fanciful, 50 savage, nought cares he
For number or proportion. Mockngly,
On coop or kennel he hangs Parton wreaths;
swan-like form invests the hidden thorn;
Fills up the farmers lane from wall to wall,
Maugre the farmers sghs; and at the gate,
a tapering turret oyertops the work
And whenhis hours arc numbered, and the world
Is all his own, retiring, as he were not,
Leaves, when the sun appears, astonished Art
To mimic in slow structures, stone by stone
Built in an age. the mad winds night-work,
The froic architecture of the storm.

The Philanthropy OF COMMON LIFE.
There are those who, with a kind Of
noble but mistaken aspiration, are ask
ing for life which shall, in its form and
outward course, be moro spiritual and
divine than that which they are obliged
to live. They think that if they could
devote themselves entirely to what are
called labors of philanthropy, to visiting
the poor and sick. that would be well
and worthy-and so it would be. They
think that it could be inscribed on the
tombstones. that they had visited mil.
lion of couches of disease, and carried
balm and soothing to them, that would
be a glorious record-and so it would
be. But let me tell you that the mil.
lion occasions will cone-ay, aud in the
ordinary paths of life, in your houses
and by your fresidos-wherein you may
act as nobly, as if all your life long you
visited beds of sickness and pain. Yes,
| say, the million occasions will come,
varying every hour, in which you may
restrain your passions. subdue your
hearts to gentlenoss aud patience, resign
your own interest for another's advan.
toge. speak words Of kindness aud wis.
dom, raise the fallen aud cheer tho faint.
ing and sick in spirit, and soften and as
suoge tho WEAKNESS and bitterness Of the
mortal LOT. These cannot indeed be
written on your tombs, for they are not
ole series of specific actions, like those
of what is technically deuominated phil
anthropy. But in them, l say, you may
discharge Offices not less gracious to 9th,
ers, not less glorious for yourselves, than
the selfdenials of the far-famed sisters
of charity, than the labors of Howard or
Oberlin, or than tho sufferings of the
martyred hosts of Gods elect. They
shall not bo written on your tombs but
they arc written deOp in the hearts of
men-of friends, of children, OF kindred
all around you; they are written in tho
