Two ways to Live ON Earth.
rr cnArLss SWAIN.

RI cRAFiEs SWAIN.
There are two ways to live on earth;
Two ways TO judge-to act-to-view-
For all things here have double birth,
right and wrong, a false and true.
Give me home, where kindness seeks
To make that sweet which seemeth small,
Where every lip in fondness speaks
And every man hath care for all.
Whose inmates live glad exchange
Ofpleasures, free from vain expense:
Whose thoughts beyond their means ns'er range.
Nor wise denials give offence.
Who In neighbor's fortune find
No wirh, impulse to complain;
Who feel not-neycr felt-the mind
To envy yet another's gain!
Who dream not Of the hooking tide,
Ambitions foled endeavor meets;
The bitter pangs of wounded pride;
Nor fallen Power, that shuns the streets
Though Fate deny It's glittering store,
Loves wealth i stil the wealth to choose;
For all that God can purchase more
Are gauds-it is no less TO lose.
Some beings, whereso'er they 60,
Find naught to please--or to exalt;
Their constant study but to show
Perpetual modes offnding FAULT
While others, in tie ccaseloss found
or daily wants, and daily care,
Can yet Gull flowers from common ground;
And twice enjoy their share.
Oh! hspry they who happy make
VINO blessing-still themselves are blest!
Who something spare for others sake
And strive, in all things, for the best!
