THE TRUE L1FE.-The mere lapse of years is
not life. To eat, and drink, and sleep; to be
exposed to darkness and the light; to pace a,
round the mill of habit and turn tie wheel OF
health: to make reason our book-keeper, and
turn thoughts into implements Of trade; this is
not life. In all this, but poor fraction of the
consciousness of humanity is awakened; and the
sanctities still slumber which make it most
worth while to be. knowledge, truth, love,
beauty. goodness faith, alone give vitality to the
mechanism of existence; the laugh of mirth
which vbrates through the heart; the tears
which freshen the dry wastes within; the music
which brings childhood back; the prayer that
calls the future near the doubt which makes US
mediate; the death which startles us with mys'
terv. the hardships that force US to struggle;
the anxiety that ends in trust-these are the
true nourishment Of our natural being!

POETRY.
Intrinsic Worth,

Intrinsic Worth.
IT'S not the bird of brightest wing,
Doth loftiest soar or brightest sing;
For brilliant plumage who would mark
The pinions of the warbling lark9
IT'S not the gaily painted flower,
That sweetest blooms in wood or bower,
The violet of humble mien
Breathes out its fragrance all unseen.
IT'S not the sparkling fountains flow
That gladdens most the vale below;
The silent dew, the gentle rain
Will more refresh the thirsty plain.
IT'S not the costly pearl or gem
That forms the loveliest diadem;
The ornaments that most adorn,
Are by the lowly spirit worn.
Tis not the fairest form or face
That most reveals the spirits grace;
The nobler virtues of the mind
Lie deep within the soul enshrined.
'Tis not the man of shining parts
Wields strongest sway Ger human hearts;
But he ofsympathetic soul,
The willing passions doth control.
'Tis not the boasting Pharisee
Who finds acceptance for his plea;
The contrite heart alone will bring
To heaven pleasing offering.
