Many the hopes with fr1lition at hand,,

BY traffic's beheSt,
On ene day at least, for dominion CONTEST
And strive as of old, to be specially blest,
While care is Il species of treason.
The city shuts up its shop for this day,
The oldest and youngest play or pray;
The churches are open in the ancient way,
For preachers to utter what they may,
With few to listen to what they say,
While all the chaises and carriages
Are tiashing around with their merry loadS
OF babies dressed in their prettlest modes,
To DUNN at the doors of kindred abodes-
Or filled with those still happier nodes
Who rush to try that best OF codes
Which binds us up in marriages.
The horse in the STALL the dog at the door,
Are loved and caressed and kissed once more
And smiles are joyously beamiDg,
And the puliets, destined TOR them 10 cue,
Look on the scene with cheerful eye,
In sympathetic seeming.
The land is vocal with psalm and prayer,
And joys glad note sounds everywhere,
festival oblation,
And Savory streams like clouds arise,
To tickle the palate and glad the eyes
OF lovers of virtue and pumpkin pies,
Where grave and gay, and dull and wise,
