We too Have our Autumns.
pYJANRs RUSSELL LOWELL

BYJANRs RUSSELL LOWELL.
We. too, have autumns. when our leaves
Drop loosely through the dampened air,
When all our good seems bound in sheaves,
And we stand reaped and bare.
Our seasons have no fixed returns
without our will they come and go;
At noon our sudden summer burns,
Fer sunset all is snow.
But each day brings less summer eheers,
Crimps more our Intellectual spring.
And something earlier every year
Our singing birds take wing.
As less the golden glow abides,
And less the chilier heart aSpires,
with drift.wood. beached in last spring tides
We light our sullen fires.
BY the pinched rushlight's starving beam
We cover and strain our wasted sight,
To stitch youths shrodd up, seam by seam,
In the long arctic night,
Il was not so-we once were young
When Spring. TO womanly summer turning,
Her dew-drops on each grass'blade strung,
In the red sunrise burning
We trusted then aspired believed
That earth could be re. made tomorrow
All, why be ever undeceived?
Why give up faith for sorrow?
Oh, thou whose days are yet all spring,
Trusted, blighted once, is past retrieving;
Experience is dull, dead thing;
The victory's in believing.

PrOfnnity.

Ofall the sins in the world we do believe pro-
tlnity is about the mcancSt. A man may cheat
and make something out OF it. He may steal and
revtl in his ill.gottcn gains. He may indulge IN
sensual qualification, and derive some pleasure
from it. But what good a man ever gained from
swearing, we have yet to learn. ltiS said by those
who indulge in this vice, that there are occasions
when the English language is not quite torciblc
enough to express the emotions which they feel
and that round oath is relief to an over-excited
state OF mind. We can appreciate the truth of
the assertion. But there are some men who do
not wait for this state of excitement, but swear
right on, "out of whole cloth" and without PROV
ocation, with more JUNCTION than they ever breathed
prayer, we fear, aud seem tc think that they are
doing very handsome thing. We have heard
men swear more terribly" than the army in
Flanders who profess great deal of regard for
other high moral questions, Our friend Grosno
yer, OF the South Grotun Shakers, who lets his
communications be yea, yea, aud nay, nay" the
other day sent us piece of poetry, which we have
mind to publish. Here it's;
"Swear not ut ALL" My ears are paned,
To hear Jehova's name profancd.
"SNear not Mt all" for so said Christ,
Whose words were ever gems unprioed
This law the child OF God procluims-
Above all things, Swear not said james.
That message was of priceless worth
Goods throne is hcavcn--his footstoul earth"
Swear not by these-beforc that throne
Our words, our very thoughts are known.
Swear not by thine own hand or head
Not by the living or the dead;
Nor yet thy life, nor soul nor health
Nor yet the gliterng phantom, wealth.
Nor swear 10y earth as we explore
Gods footprints tell every Shore
Not by the stars, orb of day.
Nor gems that paved the milky way
Nor yet more distant realms above,
Made vocal by Jchova's love;
Not by the Saints, or Seruphim;
These are of God. aud BOW TO HIM
Not by the monsters of the deep.
Nor raging storms that DER us sweep,
Nor by the lightnings dash ON high,
Nor by the thunder roaring by,
Norby the King, nor Queen, nor both,
Nor yet by any other oath.
SWEAR Nor AT ALL"
