AT early dawn, the merry lark
Pours forth her joyous lay;
At noon, she sings the same sweet song,
The same at close of day.
Spring, summer, autumn, winter may,
With all their changes, come;
The ruthless hunter may invade
Her peaceful forest home:
May rob her of her mate, her young,
Her woodland nest destroy
Ay rob her of her freedom, yet
Her song is still of JOY.
Then, Clara, cease those sorrOwing strains,
Let notes of gladness rise
A wounded heart cannot be healed
By human sympathies.

HORSE.

near the stable; and seemed to have expired without
a struggle. The evening previous, he was more than
usually playful, showing as much life and spirit as
when he was young. Remarkable as it may appear,
during his whole life he never was sick day, but
was always well, and ready to do what was required
Of him.

and gentle. But, though he was doclle, and a ht
companion for ladies', he would never falter IN the
hour Of danger, aud was as much at home on the
battle field as the green pasture. He never had
he stroke OF a whip. He was grey Messenger,
with white name and tail, fifteen and half hands
high, bone and siuew in the right place. He had
peculiar intelligence for horse, and action When
