THOUGHTS RECALLED,

Pleasant the Social Intercourse OF man.
When, fpwing through congenia pores OF mind
atadc manifest IN speech, or silently
By speaktng eye, blend in harmonious tone,-
Is different voices, bEant tn choral airs,
Transferring each to each moety,
GROW richer in the bum for the exchange.
And you hare seen-how sweet within tho horus
| Of proud or humble, childhood In tts morn
L1eh,tng tta face with knowledge Of the good
1nstllicd by mother fond, who joys to sea
Each intellectual bud its le1vea unfold
ana moral plants their tbrous roots extend
Taking new forms, as take the rnirrorcd uQItk
VI snnoeams In the rippled rivers depths.
! And you haro seen. or heard OF, or hare been,
Lovers whose soula doomed naught Of grace could
neyond the image their own fsnctes fornedt
Who idolized An idol built OF clay,
And wreathed it Ger with gar1an1is. dorid al
From the minds garden, til ita loneliness
Vas equaled tn intensity alone

T*o-fo1d : tho fountain Of the .>>ctal stream,
That only deepens when by friendship claimed
Relying each On each for measured dow:
And human love is dual: bitter-sxeot:
Some pang ts aver With tbs. pleasure mkt;
some fear Les cronching at the heela Of hope:

A. fullest noon the heart teayes deepest pieha

That friendship br{n2a OF care, o< lore or pain.
