Soon the winds shall freshly breathe


Der the mountains purple heath


But the Past is lost in Death,


lie hath no memory.


Tm WINTER or THE IIEARr--Lct it never
come upon you. Live 80 that good angels may
protect YOU from this terrible cvil-the winter OF
the heart.


Let no chilling influence freeze up the fountain
of sympathy and happiness from its depths no
cold burthen settle over its wlthered hopes, IKE
snow ON the faded flowers; no rude blasts OF ul5
content moan and shrek through its dcsolote
chambers.


Your path may lend You amid trials which for
n time seem entirely to impede your progress
and shut out the very light OF heaven from your
anxious gaze. ~
your luxurious homo may be exchanged ior
single lowIy room-tho soft couch for the straw
pallet-the rich viands for the coarse food OF the
poor Summer friends may torsakc you, ana tho
Implying world pass you with scarcely wotu
Of compassion.
to earn n livelihood you may encounter fraud
and base avnrice, which would cNtort the last
larthing, till you well nigh turn in disgust from
Your fellow beings.


Death may sever the dear ties that bind you to
earth and leave you in fearful darkness


The noblc manly boy, the sole hope OF your
/
you, while your spirit clings to him with VIA
tcnacity, which even the shadow of the tomb can
not wholly subdne.


But amid all these sad trials and sorrows, do
not come to The conclusion that nobody was ever
so deeply afflicted as you are, aud abandon every
sweet anticipation OF :" better days III INC un'
known future


Do not lose your faith in human excellence be-
cause your confidence has bccn betrayed, nor
believe that friendship is only delusion aud
love q bright phantom which glides away from
! your grasp.


Do not think you arc Tatcl to be miserable
because you are disappointed in your cNpecta-
tions and banlcd in your pursuit. DO not think
| that God has forsaken you when your way ~
hedged with thorns, or repine siniully when lie
calls your dear ones to the land beyond the grave.
Keep holy trust in heaven through every
trial bear adversely with fortitudc, and look
upward in hours of temptation and suffering.
When your locks are white, your eyes dim, and
your limbs weary-whcn your steps ialtcr on the
verge of Deaths gloomy vale, still retain the
freshness and buoyaney Of spirit which will shield
you from the winter of the heart
