Repulsed. but nuconquercd in will,
Upon drcary discomiiturcs building
Her virtues stroug battlcments still,
The soul in the siege of temptations
Yields not unto fraud, nor to might;
Cnquelled by the rush of the passions
Serene mid the tumults of fights!
She secs grand prize in the distance,
She hears glad sound of acclainls,
The crown wrought of lourcls immortal,
The music far swccter than fames.
And 80, 'gainst the rush of tlic passions,
She lifts the broad buckler of right,
Aa,l so, threngh The slooms of temptations,
She walks in n splcnlor of light,

POETRY.
I Love this Glowing Southern Cline.

oOuSHCth SllhkC
love this glowing Southern cline,
With skies SO wildly bright;
Where rcigns one constant sweet spring time
so full OF fond delights
Where flowers are blooming all the year,
As beautifully fair,
As il the floral queen had made
Her fragrant palace there.
! love the Southern songster's note,
The balmy zcplyr's breath.
Where pcriumcd strains Of music float,
From out the forests depth;
Where bithcsomc hearts are warm and true
rs ever brctthcd n PRAYER.
Aud where enchanting pleasures WOO
The soul to linger there.
l love the Southern twilight hour,
IL brcathcs n holy spell,
While musing meath the orange bower,
Or in some fairy dell
love its starry heavens by night,
Its dcwy moonlit eyes,
Where Lunn's silvcry beams of light,
CLEAN through tho orange leaves.
You speak to me of happy homes,
Far in the snowy North;
i know the heart where CIR il roams,
Will love its native hearth
But say, is not this Southern cline,
SO beautifully fair,
Mere lovely in It's sweet spring time
Than aught You cherish there?
