Bowman has been employed in the

confidence was reposed in him, until
recently, when circumstances appeared
to tend to implicats him in the larceny
of valuable letters.

BE HAPPY AS YOU CAN.

This life is not sunshine,
Nor is IL vet all showers,
But storms and caims alternate,
As thorns among the flowers.
And while we seek the roses,
The thorns full oft we scan,
Still let us, though they wound us.
BE happy as we can.
This life has heavy crosses. .
AS well as joys to share,
And griefs and disappointmentS.
Which YOU and must bear.
Yet if Misfortune's lava
Entombs hopes dearest plan,
Let us, with what is left us,
BE happy as we can.
The sum of our enjoyment
Is made of little things,
As oft the broadest rivers
Are formed from smallest springs.
BY treasuring small waters,
The rivers reach their span:
So we increase our pleasures,
Enjoying what we can.
There NAV be burning deserts,
Through which our feet must go.
But there are green GASES,
Where pleasant palm-trees grow.
And IL we mey not follow
The path our hearts would plan,
Let us make all around us
AS happy as we can.
Perchance we may not climb with
Ambition to its goal,
Still let us answer Z" Present"
When duty callsthe roll!
And what over our appointment,
Be nothing less the Man,
And cheerful in submission,
BE happy as we can.

And they fill our hearts with gladness

That with all its grace and grandeur
Seems to us so very near.
As we view the world of beauty,

Far beyond the azure sky,

Who have only gonc before,
