THE GREEN MOUNTAIN STATE,
BY ALONZU J.. NEWTON.

Home Of my childhood! 'mong whose hills
of cvcrllstiu" green.
And giant rocks. and daShing rilIs,
My infant days wCrr sccn.--
Whose mountain range. uphcavcd
Along the sunset sky, and round
The distant north. with peaks, snow crowned
Then seemed OF earth the utmost bound
My boyi>h thought conceived -
Though long, long years upon this heart
Have wrought their varied trace,
And scenes renowned, and piles which art
Hath reared, oft meet my gaze,-
Yet lives within this breast
The vision bright Uf hill and glade,
And stream along whose banks we played
In childish glcc- and ne cr shall fade
The image here imprest.
The old farmhouse Icy hillsidc steep,
Whose walls no artiSts tingc
E 'er knew the deep wells heightened sweep
That crcakcd on its lofty hinge
The humble school house where,
Each summer : day, with slate and book,
We piled our youthful tasks-thc brook -
The spring that gushcd beneath the rock -
Ali-all are treasured here
And, too, there is one tender spot
Fan dcuIcr than they all
That little mouud in tn churchyard plot,
Clcsc ty the musay wall -
had a brother dear,
\ fair haired, mild. and gentle one;
But ere knew 10 prize the boon,
His transient day on earth was dome
lie sleeps IN qlt'et there.
Land of my childhood, 'mong whose hills
Of everlasting green,
And giant rocks and daSLng rills,
My infant days were seen
Where Il my feet shall roam,
In foreign cline, o cr distant sea,
Like needle t. the pole, to thee
The yearning of this heart shal! be
My loved Green Mountain Home!

FRIENDSHIP.

Friendship is to many, mere name,
a combination of elements, and used
with reference to an idea of which
they have no practical knowledge.
Many who often us" the term, and
suppose themselves possessing large
amount, have in fact never even tast-
I'd the delightful sweets which ita
fountain affords. The heart which is
calious to its beauty, which is blind
t" its exquisite 'ovcljncss and purity,
is too cold for affection. too selfish for
association, and uudeScrving the con
tidcncc or sympathy Of others. True
friendship is Of no iguoblc origin.
There is scarce principle Of the hu-
man heart more pure and unyiclding.
1t springs from no base desire, from
no unhaIlowcd passion, and seeks no
umhoIy qualification. Earthly power
cannot change it, misfortune cannot
suppress or weaken it; and when be
reit of all honor or fortune, true
friend still remains unchanged. -
when we may, amid all the may lab,
yrmths Of life, encounter all the worlds
coldness, butlcting and scorn, have a
knowledge of the fact that we may
enjoy the sympathy and attachment
of kind hearted friend, it soitens ON
woes, and mitigatcs our sorrows
Friendship is truly gem Of very en-
during mould. 1t lives long after W,
are dead. When our eyes forget tc

THE EMPTY CRADLE,

The death Of little child is to the
mothers heart like the dew on plant,
from which bud has just persisted.
HE plant lifts up it's head in freshcmed
grc"nncss to the morning light 50
the mothers soul gathers, from the
dark sorrow which she has passed, a
fresh Frightening Of her heavenly
hopes.
As she bends over the empty cradle,
and fancy brings her sweet infant be-
fore her, ray Of divine light is on the
cherub face 1t is her son still, bat
with the seal Of immortality ON his
brow. She feels that heaven was the
only atmosphere where her precious
flower could unfold without spot or
blcmiSh, and she would not recall the
lost. But the anniversary of his de
parture seems to bring his spiritual
presence near her. She indulgeS in
that tender grief which sUothrs, like
an opiatc i'll pain, all hard passages
aud cares in life. The world to her is
no longer filled with human love and
hope IN the future, 50 glorious with
heavenly love and joy she has treas
nres of happiness which the worldly.
unchastened heart never conceived.
The bright, fresh flowers with which
she has decorated her room, the apart
mcnt where her infant died, are mt
mCmtors of the far brighter hopes how
.dawming on her day dream. She
thinks of the wlOrv and beauty of the

SPRING.-Thc lightcst thoughts have
their roots in gravity, and the most
fugitive colors of the world are set off
by the mighty background Of cterni-
ty. One Of the greatest pleasures OF
50 light and airy Il thing as the vcrnal
season arises from the conciousness
that the world is young again; that
the spring is come round, that We
