The WINTER or TINE IIEAnT.-Let IL neveI
CONS upon you. Live 40 that good angels
may protect you from the terrible evil-tht
winter Of the heart
Let no chilling influence freeze up the foun
tain ofsympathy and happiness from its depths
no cold burthen settle over it's withercd hopes
like snow on the faded flowers; no rude blasts
Of discomfort moan and shrick through its des.
olate chambers.
Your life path may lead you amid trials
which for time seem entirely to impede your
progress, and shut out the very light Of heAv.
en- from your anxious gaze.
Penury may take the place Of case and plcn-
ty; your luxurious home may be exchanged
for single lowly room; the soft couch for
the straw pallet; the rich viands fCr the
coarse food Ofthe poor. Summer friends may
fOrsa&e you, and the Implying world pass
with scarcely q word Of compassion.
You may be forced to toll wearily, steadily
on to earn q livelihood; you may encounter
fraud and base avarice, which would extorl
the last farthing, till you well nigh turn in
disgust from your fellow beings.
Death may sever the dear ties that bind you
to earth and leave you in fearful darkness
The noble, manly boy. the sole hope o
your declining years, may be taken suddenly
from you, while your spirit clings to him with
wild tenacity, which even the shadow Of the
tomb cannot wholly subduc.
But amid all these sad trials and sorrows
do not como to the conclusion that nobody
was ever SO deeply afflicted as you arc, ant
abandon every sweet anticipation Of "bcttcl
days in the unknwn future
DO not lOsc your faith in human excellence
because your confidence has been betrayed
nor believe that friendship is only delusion
and love bright phantom which glidcs away
from your grasp.
Do not think you arc fatcd to be miscrabl,
because you are disappointed in your cxpcc
tations aud bnffled in your pursuit Do no
declare that God has fGrsakcn you when you
way IL hedged with thOrns or repine sinfullS
when He calls your dear ones to the land be
yond the grave.
Keep holy trust in heaven through every
trial; bear adversely with fortitude, and looL
upward in hours Of temptation and suffering
When your locks are white, your eyes dim
and your limbs weary--whcn your steps falte
on the verge Of Deaths gloomy vale, still re
tain the freshness and buoyancy Of spiri
which will shield you from the winter Of tn
heart
