TIE TWO TILLAGES.

Amid the mountains, unier a hill,
Lieth village, quiet and sill;
And now, at the hour Of nine at night,
Cleans from each window mellow light,
While down in the silent vale or glen,
We listen no more 70 busy mon;
For the day Of care and toll is Ger,
And they tread not nov the dusty eoor-
Quietly sleeping in loves embrace,
They pause to rest in the ysory chase.
Up with the morning bathed in its dew,
We hear the tread of the busy few;
List to the neigh the irqn horse.
As here hs speeds in his rapid course
The sun pours down bis ra4iap, light,
Awaking all from the drea us Of pight,
And they Join fresh in trade or strife,
All, teaching again the marts Of life,
Seeking its hOnors, its wealth, or place,
And some, per, hapGe, for the Sayior's grace.
The streets of hbis village teen with life,
For many engage in worldly strife
Some going up, and some coming dow3,
Reaping, at length, what their hands have

While fortu ne, her wheel drives on apace,
Add laughs or frowns in each weary face,
The young and the old, oft, here are Aeen,
With smiling lips, or q sober mien,
Till night again with o silent pail,
With her vide, DIRK, mantle covers them oil
Amid the mountaips, w, on hill,
Lieth village quiet and stills
No toll or traffic can there be seen
Its streets are covered with living green
No eye kindles there when loved ones come
Silent and cold to their dismal home:
KIM, sweet tones of love, aud words Of cheer
viii fall no more on the deafened ear,
Or waken again the weary brain,
| To bear its burden Of toll aud pain.
The moon looks down on the marble doors
As in hcecy clouds, she sails or scars,
Sheenirg with silver the grassy bed,
Where calmly repose the sleeping deRd
