gossamer cord which draws with tender
influence, and often leads the human heart
to inefiable happiness, and yet so power
full, tits like the wini, lit bloweth where it
lsteth and we know not whence it
cometh. !" The persuit of happiness is an
infatuation-the ignis .ti'tus that leads US

ed by the fact that SO many of our young
people are about changing their relations
in life, to enter into the state n,atrtnaon-

Thy lamp sad sepulchral light"
Heart should be akin to heart, soul in
unison with soul Not for the summer
hours alone, when the skies are bright and
serene, and youth and pleasure glide hand
