Happy Love.

What is the meaning of the song
That rings SO clear and loud,
Thou nightingale amid the copse-
Thou lark above the cloud?
What says thy song, thoujoyous thrush
Up in the walnut tree?
II love my love, because l know
My love loves me-
What is the meaning of thy thought
o maiden, fair and young?
There is such pleasure in thine eyes
Such music i'll thy tongue,
There is such glory on thy face
What can the meaning be?
Il love my love, because | know
My love loves me-"
q happy words! at Beauty's feet
We sing them ere our prime;
And when the early summers pass,
And Care comes on with Time,
Still be it ours, in Cares despite,
To join the chorus free
Il love my love, because l know
My love loves me-"

Now KISS Me-"

4 good and rue story is told by some
wag, of a very respectable gentleman,
Judge -, who was a few years since,
a candidate for a certain county Office,
in a certain county in mississippi
Judge - was travelling the aforesaid
county in order to make himself ac-
quainted with his fcllow-citizens, as is
usual with candidates before the people
for office in all the southern parts of the
Union. And indeed so common has
become the practice, that some sober
minded citizens havc complained of be-
ing frequently annoyed. Among 9th
crs, J I'D GO Waited Farmer b,
who seemed disposed to treat him with
unusual civility; with all the kind-heart-
ed hospitality of the Mississippi plan
ter, he possessed an open, blunt cordi-
ality, we'll calculated to fascinate the
visitor, and particularly one in search
of votes.
Farmer B met the judge on the
doorstep, invited him in, etc. In Il few
minutes, the comely wife and handsome
daughter made their appearance. In-
Productions of curse took place.
"My vile, Judge -"
The jrd &C arose and bowed.
"kiss her, judge" continued Farmer
B.,
The judge very gracefully saluted
Lady b
MY daughter, Judge"
The judge bowed as gracefully as pos.
sible and SMILED most blandly.
kiss her, Judge -"
The judge was a little surprised, bu'
not abashed, and saluted the young lady
with all the modesty and grace which
so delicate a piece of gallantry wou!c
warrcnt.
"Now," said Farmer B, ''Judg,
-, you have kissed my daughter
suppose you o kiss NEIL"
The judge tainted.

What a sad mistake it is to suppose
that a man should be gloomy because
he is devout; as if misery were accepta-
BILE to God, on its own account, and hap
piness an offence against his dignity.
\ modern writer, Of much wisdom and
pith of writing, says: "There is Sc
cret belief amongst some men that God
is displcased with mems happiness, and
so they stink about creation, ashamed
and afraid to enjoy anything !" These
are the people of whom Hood says
They think they re pious
When they're only bilious"
a good man is almost always a cheer
full one. 1t is fit that bad men should
scowl, and look blue and melancholy !:
he but who has Gods smile of approba-
ton upon him, should show its radi-
ancc in his c~ountenance. DIR. johnson
said he "never knew a william in his life
that was not on the whole, an unhappy
dog" And we'll he may be. But an
honest man-the man with a good con
scienc-let him cnjop his sleep, and his
dinner, and the love ofhis wife and pratt
tie of his children, and show a beaming
face to his neighbor. Surely, there is no
worse theology than that which teaches
that he who has given such fullness OF
joy to beasts and birds delights in the
misery Of men I; or; that having filled
our hearts with gladness, we ought to
give the lie to his goodness by wearing
our faces beclouded with pretended woe,
and furrowed with pretended unhappi
ness.

The Footprints of Music,
FROM THE EARLIEST ANTIQUITY DAYS OF GREAT
SOLOMON.
BY IRA BERRI

BY IRA BERRY.
The progress Of music, to one who was clever,
Might be fit topic for rhyme; .. se.. .--
Its date can't tell, but have no doubt hateyer
That Time is ancient as Time;
For the angels rejeiced, at the primal foundation
or earth, the clouds rolled away,
And showed the fair face Of the infant creation,
Lit up By the newly born day;
They shouted for JOY to behold what was day
While, in transport at seeing fair weather,
The planets commenced brisk waltz round the sun,
And the bright morning stars sang together.
The folks, as we learn, were in Paradise leading
mighty harmonious life,
When the Serpent, while Adam his carrots wedding
Essayed duet with his wife,
This produced som harsh chords of course with
reason)
The blame was laid off upon Eve,
And having debated the ease for a season,
The lady ordered to leave;
But to part from her, Adam not such fool,
So he gave up his nice situation
And hence, we conclude, has arisen the rule
T let discords prepare meditation.
As people increased, it might well be expected
That trouble and strife would begin,
And find that where was scornsd or neglected.
They quarelled and acted like sin;
But the singers in harmony still held their way on,
And one day, to help them along,
Tubal Cain made harp for his brother TO play on
And symphony thus Joined with song:
The oldest Of instruments, then, we may say,
Was the Jews harp-though Paddy supposes
The bag.ppe first, and he swears to this day
''By the piper that played before Moses"
When wrong and oppression ofsundry descriptions
The Hebrews had suffered. ut length
They got disconnected, and left the Egyptians,
Who after them marched in great strength:
They passed through the sea, and, intent pursuing
Their foes followed after, we're told
Bubeore they well knew what the they doing
Got shoctingy wet, and took cold
The Israelites then-who at first view had thought
All lost, and frightened to see lem
Beholding the mighty deiverance wrought;
Joined in chorus, and sang TIE Deum.
When the Hebrews advanced to lay sege to the city
OF Jericho, that strong
That the citizens Knocked them and said twas pity
They'd have to lie round there so long:
They'd no powder nor cannon, but Joshua, knowing
The science of sound, gave command
To make seven trumpets of rams horns for blowing,
And got up a sort of brass band;
They marched round the city each day and full
The pride Of the scoTers was humbled,
For they played "Yankee Doodle much out of tune
That the walls couldn't stand it, and tumbled
The land being won as their chronicles mention,
OF plenty and quiet possessed
They then to advancing the arts turned attention,
And music along with the rest:
King David the pious bestowed, it is stated,
On psamody much of his care;
While Solomon, wsest Of all men created
Wrote loye-songs, and sang to the fair.
And htving traced music thus far on its way
So plainly, tits hoped none win doubt it,
We here leave the subject for rome other day.

81 don't know anything sweeter than
this leaking in of nature through all the

You heap up million tons of hewn
rocks on a square mile or two of earth

down from the hill sides and ask each
other as they stand on tiptoe,-' What
are these people about?' And the small
herbs at their feet look up and whisper
back, = We will go and see.' So the
small herbs pack themselves up in the
least possible bundles, and wait until the
wind steals them at night and whispers,
Come with me. Then they go softly
with it into the great city-one to cleft
in the pavement, one to spout on the
roof, one to a seam in the marble over
a rich gentleman's bones, and one to the
grave without q stone where nothing
but man is buried-and there they grow
