BIZ JOSIAH GREEN BENNETT.
Love is an inexpressible thing
Avolume in word,
And though tits felt by myriads,
Twas never seen, nor heard.
IT'S an ocean in tear,
whirl-wind in sigh,
And sacred are the moments,
When it is hOv'rng nigh.
HATRED is an envious name,
Which causes us to borrow,
And realize the pain there is
Mixed with the Soup of sorrow"
Ills the parent of all jealousy
A glorious theme for DEVILS
Tainted with envy, wrath and rage.
The foremost of all evils.
JoT Is twin-brother to pleasure
sweet. and hallowed dream,
That floats amid the darkness
sting here and there gleam,-
IT'S name that's dear to cherish
&C Best boon to mortals gyen,'
Though slightly felt on earth,
IT'S realized in Heaven. 10
GRIEF is the evening to all pleasure
feeling of regret
demon that is prowing round,
And very often met,
1t bids all JOY departs
By it fond hopes are riyen--
1t dwells alone ON earth
IT'S never knowa in Heaven.
HOPE is gimmering star,
That shines in yonder sky;
Its meaning seems to be,
There's pleasure y-and-by."
To this we look when pain.
Deep sorrow and despair
Are hOy'ring round our paths,
With all their cank'ring care.
DESPAIR is sable curtain,
That drops when joy has fled,
And Hope, with ali its solac3,
Lies wthered, coli and dead.
dark and gloomy shroud,
That curtains all but grief,
On which is writ in glaring words,
"From SUCH there's no relief"
LIFE is a stern reality
As such we all should deem it,
And feel and know that it is So
Not-sinking back-half dream It,
IT'S what demands our deepest thought,
And greatest acts of kindness;
We should not stumble through its courts
In ignorance and blindness.
IMMoRTALITY's book,
Which every man possessed
Even the barbarous and savage,
And every race it blesses.
IT'S published in the halls above,
Where all is free from pother-
Sweet angels gid its pages
God Almighty Is its author

EXTEMPoRASEoUs PREhCHIHG. Once two
ministers of the Gospel were conyersng on
eXtcmporaneous preaching. "Wcll," said
the old divine, twaXing warm "you are ruin

cannot become interested in your preaching

rectedly. unless YOU could get hold Of all old

The young divine used all lis cloqucucc,
but in vain, to convince the old gentleman
that the written sermons expressed his own
t.oIE'ts aud feelings, and if called upon
could preach cXtcmporancously.
"As we arc Of the same faith" said the
young minister, suppose you try me next

Of paper on which WAS writtcn---"Aui the

And Natures awful chorus said,

So rosy bright appears,
And heard the timid genius say,
His light was dimmed by tears.
questioned Friendship; Friendship sighed
And thus her answer gave:
The few whom fortune never turned
Were withercd in the grave"
I asked If Vice could Hiss bcstow?
Vice boastcd loud and well,
But fading from her withorcd brow,
The borrowed roses fell.

Could soothe tho wounded breast:
And found her mourning, faint and still,
For others woes distressed.

Thou shalt triumph in the fray.

Though defeat may oft appear.
Thou shalt win the yictor's laurcls,
If thou wilt but porseVere.
Though thol art obscure ard lowiy.

Grasp the wealth and station,

That misfortune cannot shake
One on which the angry surses
Any impressions fail to make
Art thou snecrcd at and dcridci
By the self-styled lofty born?
Heed you not the fools contumely,
Or the weak minds harmless scorn.
Art thou friendless-fricnds will gather,
As do courticrs, king around,
When thou hast achieved distinction,
When thou hast position found
Strong in faith, let naught repel thee
Thou shalt in the end prevail;
In liGc's trials, and It's battles,
None but bastard towards fail
Noble Natures prove ascendant,
In carth's mighty contest rang,
10 renown, from dark oblivion,
Robed in glory up they sprang.
What if years Of fierce endcavor
Have been spent Gy thee in vain?
What, if thou hast met disaster?
Up and take the field again.

Give not up, but struggle stiii
Stubborn courage is resistlrss,
Yc can conquer if ye will.
