ELEGANT EXTRACT.

Art thou Christian? Though thy cot
BE small, and poverty thy lot,
Rejoice thy Saviour bent TO know
The ills Of want, the cares Of woe
And to the faithful poor hath given
The rich inheritance Of heaven.
Art thou Christian, doomed to roam,
Far from thy friends and native honey
L"k round on valley, hill and plain,
Cliffs cpwned with trees, and fields with grail
View natures charms, and busy man,
And tell me, midst the varied plan
What hast thou marked, or what surveyed,
That God, thy father, hath not made
Then love his works, and love to trace
His scmblance in strangers facc;
Cailcach sweet spot home to thee,
And every man Gods family.
Art rtthou Christian Mid the strife
OF years mature, and busy life!
Be active for thy race is short; M
Thy bark is fastening to the port
BE- cheerful; holy angels bear
An antidote TO all thy care
And let no pangs disturb breast,
Prepared for everlasting rest.

LOVE SONG.

She who sleeps upon my heart,
Was the first to win it,
She who dreams upon my breast,
Everrcigns within it.
She who kisses oft my lips
Wakes their warniest blessing.
Shcwho rests within my arms
Feels their closest dressing.
Other days than these shall come
Days that must be dreary-
Other hours shall greet US yet,
Hours that may be weary;
Still this heart shall be thy throne,
Ssill this brsst thy pillow
Still these lips meet thine as oft
As billow meeteth billow.
Sleep, then, on my happy heart,
Since thy love has won it
Dream, then, ON my loyal breast,
None but thou hast done it;
And when ago our bloom shall change
With its wintry weather,
May we, in the self same grave,
Sleep and dream together.
