MISCELLANEOUS READING.
LINES ON A SKELETON.

Exactly forty years ago the London Morn
ing Chronicle published poem entitled,
Lines on a Skeleton, )" which excited much
attention. Every effort, even to the offering
OF reward of fifty guinsss, was, ,vainly made
to discover the author. All that ever trans
pired was, that the-~poen, in fair,
clerkly hand, was found near skeleton of
remarkable beauty Of form and color, in the
museum of the Royal Colleges Of Surgeons,
Lincoln's Inn, London, and that the Curator
Of the museum had sent them to Mr.. Perry,
editor and proprietor of the London Morning
Chronicle; "
Behold this ruin! twas q skull,
Once of ETHEREAL spirit full;
This narrow cell was life's retreat,
This space was thoughts mysterious seat:
What beauteouS visions filled this spot
What dreams Of pleasure long forgot:
Nor Hope nor Love, nor Joy, nor Fear,
Have left one trace of record here.
Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But, start not ut the dismal void -
If social love that eye employed;
Ifwith no lawless fire it cleaned,
But through the dew of kindness beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright,
When stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuncful tongue;
If falsehoods honey it disdained,
And where it could not praise, was chained;
IF bold in virtues cause spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke! re
This silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the miner
Or with It's envied rubies shine!
To hew the rock, or wear the gem, .w
Can little now avail to them!
But if the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands a richer need shall claim,
Than all who wait on health or fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod,
These feet the paths Of duty trod2
If from the bowers of ease they fed,
To seek ai1liction's humble she'd
If grandeur's guilty bribs they spurned,
And home to virtues cot returned
These feet with angels wings shall vie,
And tread the palace Of the sky.

SUNDAY BELLS.

Oh day Of rest! the toiler's day!
What true delight thou'rt suro to bring,
Made bat for man, they truly say,
Why should these bells tumultuous swing?
Day of Devotion! All the land,
Halls with delight thy precious hours,
Praises returning to the Hand, -
, That rings no bell to wake its flowers.
Refreshing silence reigns around,
Dreams of repose the soul possess,
The Angel Sleep, the Sweet Profound,
The wearied limbs and head caress;
Sharp, shrill, discordant, on the air
Dire sounds are borne with dreadful peal,
Changing and dinging in despair,
Worn labor's slumber bound to steal.
In rural homes where Father Time,
BY watch or clock is seldom known,
IT'S sweet to hear a Sabbath chime,
F. Or cen church belPs distant moan;
But here in town where every soul,
BY habit knows the time o'day,
We need no dreary dismal TOLL
Sc take your Sunday bells away!
