Life on Earth

g, what is lifes A busy scene,
Where each and all must act a part;
Where Joys are few and far between,
While soFrows crush the feeling heart;
And yet this scene will soon be over,
And We shall tread the stage no more.
0, what is life? A gliding stream,
Whose current bears Us swiftly on
Its shores awhile with pleasure CLEAN,
But soon their radiant hues are gone;
And all its waves, 70 glad and free,
At length are lost in Times wide sea.
o, what is life? a transient dag,
Whose morning hours are quickly past,
Noon comes with bright, meridian ray,
But noonride spleHdors cannot last,
And night, with its obvious pail,
Comes round rs and o'ershadows all.
0, what is life? A beauteous flower.
Beneath the smiling summer skv,
Which blooms its bright but heeting hour,
Then hastens to decline and die;
And not single sign nor trace
Ere long j. left to mark its place
Such is life! And man should learn
To seek q more cpngeuial cline;
His thoughts to loftier themes should turn,
And look beyondthe bounds OF time.
10 that unfading world Of bliss
For which we should prepare in this
For no loved scenes shall pass away.
No stream be lost in ocean IS wave.
No day shall close-no fownr decay,
In that bright land beyond the grave;
But, blest with new, unfailing powers,
A happier life shall there be ours.

Make Home Bright and Pleasant

More than buildings, snowy mansions
More than dress and fine array
More than domes and lofty steeplas-
More than station, power or sway,
Make home both neat and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant always fair,
Where each heart shall rest contented,
Grateful for each beauty there.
More than lofty, swelling titles
More than fashions Turing glare
More than Mammon's gilded honors-
More than thought can well compare,
See that home is made attractive,
By surroundings pure and bright,
Trees arranged with taste aud order,
Flowers with all their sweet delight.
Seek to make your home most lovely,
Let it be a smiling spot,
Where IN cOntentment resting,
Care and sorrow are forgot;
Whore the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds will sing their sweetest songs,
Where there the purest thoughts will Inger,
Confidence and love belongs.
Make your home little Eden,
Initiate her smiling bowers,
Let a neat and simple cottage
Stand among bright trees and flowers;
There, what fragrance and what brightness
VIII each blooming rose display;
Here, a sipsle vine-clad arb0r
Brightens through each summer day.
There each heart viii rest eontented,
Seldom wishing far 10 roam
Or, if roaming still will cherish
Mem 'ries Of that pleasant home;
Such a home makes man the better
Pure and lasting its control
Home with pure and blight surroundings
Leaves its impress on the soul

Ode IN gnrinp

Joyous spring. with JOY I greet thee,
In thy smiles, | smile to meet thee,
Now stern winters frown isigone,
Nature welcomes thy returning
Laying off her garb Of mourning,
Puts her bridal tresscs on.
Insects round my feet are humming-
Music on each gale is coming,
With a soft mel0dious sound;
Beauty Wakens from its slumbers,
And in countless flowing members,
Pleasures streams are eddying round
Mingled howrets gaily blooming.
With the twilight breeze perfuming,
Glade and glen, the woodland:
With unnumberei speeches ringing
These the rapturous tribes are singing.
Tender sOnnets TO their loves.
There the city's heart rcioiccs-
business with her thousand voices,
With improvement steps pace
Architecture il unfolding,
Specimens Of richest moulding,
Rising up with lofty grace.
Welcome spring. estrayed from sadness,
Paragon of natures gladness
Welcome to hearts like mine.
Other seasons have their pleasures.
Autumn has its dropping treasures-
Hopes fair prospect, spring, is thine
