Fashionable Friends .

The hardest trial of those who fall from afau
ence and honor to poverty and obscurity, is tht
discovery that the attachment of 80 many il
whom they confded was q pretence, q mask, t
gain their own ends, or was q miserable. shal
tlowness. Sometimes, doubtless, It is with regre
that these frivolous followers OF the. world de
sert those upon whom they have fawned bu
hey soon forget them. Flies leaye the kitchen
when the dishes are empty. The parasites thai
cluster about the favorite Of fortune, to gather
his gifts and climb by his aid, liRger with the
sunshine, but scatter at the approach OF storm,
as the leaves cling to the tree in summer wealth
er, but drop off at the breath of winter, and
leave it naked to the stinging blast. Like ra-
vens settled down for a banquet, and suddenly
scared by q noise, how quickly, at the first
sound of calamity, these superficial earthlings are
specks on the horizon! 81,
But true friend sits in the centre, and is for
all times. Our need only reveals him more full
ly, and binds him more closely to us. Prosper
ity and adversity are both revealers, the differ
ence being that in the former our friends know
US. in the latter we know them. But notwith-
standing the insincerity and greediness pre-
valent among them, there is vast deal more OF
esteem and fellow yearning than is ever out
wardly shown, There are more examples OF
unadulterated affection, more deeds of silent love
and magnanimity, than is usually supposed =
Our misfortune bring to our side real friends,
before unknown.
Benevolent impulses, where we should not
expect them, in modest privacy enact many a
scene of beautiful wonder amidst plaudits OF an
gels. And upon the whole, fairly estimating
the glory, and the uses, and the actual and pos
sible prevalence of the friendly sentiment, we
must cheerily strike the Tyre and lift our voice
to the favorite song confessing after every COM
plant is ended, that
~ There is power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed it;
Nor need we roam TO bring 1t home,
Though few there be to find it!
We seek too high for things c.ose by,
And lose what nature found US;
For life hath here no charm so dear
AS home and friends around us.

The Return of Spring.


The Return of Spring.
Dear as the dove, whose waiting wing,
The green leaf ransomed from the main,
Thy genial glow, returning Spring,
Comes to our shore again;
For thou hast been wanderer long,
On many fair and foreign strand,
In balm and beauty, sun and song,
Passing from land to land.
Thou bringst the blossoms to the bee,
To earth robe Of emerald dye,
The leaaet to the naked tree,
And rainbow in the sky;
feel thy blest benign control,
The pulses of my youth restore;
Opening the spring Of sense and soul,
To love and JOY once more.
will not people thy green bowers,
With sorrows pale and spectre band;
Or blend with thine the faded flowers
Ofmemory's distant land;
For thou vert surely never given
To wake regret from pleasure gone;
But like an angel sent from heaven,
To soothe creations groan.
Then, while the groves thy garlauds twine,
Thy spirit breathes in flower and tree,
Ny heart shall kindle at thy shrine,
And worship God in thee;
And in some calm, sequestered spot,
While listening to thy choral strains,
Past griefs shall be awhile forgot,
And pleasure bloom again.
