LIFE'S INCONGRUITY.

= Il
0fthis poem. NJ Willis, of the Home
journal, says, THE degree to which the
melodies are perfected, and the beauty Of
metaphor and rythm, are more like the
finished work of classic poet than the
inspiration of an impufsive soldier. 1t is
an exquisite gem, and, though We have
never before heard of the author, We are
very sure he is not only soldier, but the
truest Of poets"
Green grows the laurel OF the bank,
Dark waves the pine upon the hill,
Green hangs the lichen, cold and dank.
Dark springs the hearts-esse BY the rill,
Age-mosses Chamber ever bright,
Pale IL the water-lly's bloom:
Thus Life still courts the shades of night,
And Beauty hoyers Ger the tomb.
So, al through life, incongruous hue,
Each object wears from childhood down
The evanescent-heaven' blue,
Fire aH-eniuring-sober brown;
Our brightest dreams too quickly die,
And griefs are green tha. should be old,
And toys that sparkle TO the eye
Are like tale that's quickly told.
And yet 'tia but the golden mean
That checks our lives unsteady flow,
Gods counterbalance thrown between,
To poise the scale 'tw;xt joy and woe.
And better SO, for were the bowl
Too freely to the parched lip given,
Too'much of grief would crush the soul,
Too much of joy would weau from heav n.
