Select 2oetry.


With trembling step In life we scarce appear,
Ere on the cheek is seen the glistening tear;
First gladly springs the welcome tear OF bliss
When child and mother share the tender
kiss.
As years advance mid chequer'd joys and
woes,
The heart expands, Lie some sweet op'ning
rorei
The gentle girl, 10 him she holds most dear,
Her love betrays with one soft timid tear.
How beauteous shines the fond tear Of the
bride,
When he she loves is kneeling by her side;
Their hearts are one, the vow OF truth is .a'en;
To share till death each others care and
painj
II DER his soul, hope lose its soothing pow'r,
The faithful wife can cheer the lonesome
hour
Coniiding still, she points to worlds more fair.
And with a tear, says kindly, don't de-
spair."
Age creeps apaoe, the old mans end Is near
Around him stand his friends and kindred
dear;
10 cv'ry eve the bitter tear drop starts,
The last sad proofo Of their fond loving hearts.
Serenely calm, as daylights fading beam,
lie sweetly smiles, as 10 some heay 'nly
dream;
His parting gaze on all doth fondy dwell,
While, with a tear he family breathes
farewell" !"
