surrounds him, the great and amazing real

ment of clay, ami with Nd other loJpholes
of communication between himself and all
that surrounds him than the eye aud the ear

alizire sense of the things that the eye hath
never seen and ear hath never heard: 1t is
for man, and perhaps for man alone, to trav
ell in thought over the ruins OF migh'y dss-
olatiuh, and beyond the wreck of that pres
eut world by which lie is encompassed, to
conceive the future world on which he is to
expatiaIs forever. But---a harder achieve
ment perhaps, than any---it is for man, in
the exercise OF faith, to observe that most
appalling of all contenplations. the decay
and the dissolution of himself; to think o.
the time when his now animated framework,
every part of which id sensitive and dear to
hin, shall fall to pieces; when the vitil
warmh BY which it is so thoroughly perva-
ded shall lake its departure, and leave to
colduess and abandonment ali tIat is visa

steps so firmly, and that countenance out of

that whole body, ior the interest and proyi
sion OF WHICH he now labors So strenousiy,
as if indeed it were immorta al--when ell
these shall be reduced to mass OF putre-
faction, and at length crumble with the cof-
fin that encloses them, iuto dust. Why, my
brethren, to being in the full conscious
ness and possession OF its living energies
here is something, il may be allowed the
expression SO foreign and SO unnatural in
death, that we ought not TO wonder il it

Angels have no such transition OF horror

Ode to Winter.


List to the bowiing winds, their piercing moan
l. heard from distant hills; first murmeriug low
And - they nearer come, more shrih their tone
Fails on the psnsive ear, still fierce. although
Theymay have rushed thousand forests through;
And forcedslpir way o'er many rugged hill.
Fsigh,ed Sith hshswersofe ehillingsleet and snow,
Which as they go. they keep ascattering STILL
Epoading spsrtless robe DER every vale and hill
The trees have lost their verdant covering DOW;
That beauteou robe of tender leaves did fade,
Which during summer, sheltered every bough
From rain and sun; and lent ling shade.
The faded Leaf now on the ground is laid
) By stern old winters piercing winds and frost
Now icicles the boughs beari1 the stead
Ofthose fair leaves the parent stem has lost,
And on the ground by every passing breeze are
tossed.
No more the song oftunefui birds we bear.
When from the East the sun purs forth his ray,
As il afr ighted when the leaf did scar,
They all have flown to regions far away,
Where foliage and flowers do not decay
Sosoon and where they may continue still
Their melody, throughout the livc-long day;
And on the fowry banks of some clea- rill
Still court the that do their hearts with rap
ture fill.
The faded,mead where fed the snowy flock,
Whers insects dined upsn the nurturing blade;
The little bush along the murmuring brook
Stripped ofits leaves its boughs down weighted
With masses OF collected snow; also the glade,
Now robbed by the of every blooming flower;
. The forest leaves, plucke6 from the boughs, and
laid
Lone on the ground by thy allwithering power,
Allplainly tell, Earths aires things may perish in
an hour.
Although, Old Winter. thou with cruel hand
Dost rob the earth of many a dazzling hue.
Yet thou hast many feature bliihe and bland.
And many charm that's likewise pleasant too
How beautiful unto the school-boy's view,
To see the snox-fflkss fall in waving trainl
How pleasant, too, by fire TO read anew
Tne tales of other days. Yea we would fain
At each years close, Old Friend, still welcome
thee again.
ZETETEs ALETHEs.
