A feeble flower Declining as it blooms; Which bears at heart the withering power The canker that consumes; A wintry cloud, an April beam, A stage for empty strife, A waking thought, a troubled dream, Ah ! such is life ! A web of checkered hopes and fears; A bubble on the wave? A shade, composed of smiles and tears, A pilgrim to the grave! A barque upon the waters tossed, Ah! such is life! And what is death ? A dreaded doom To pleasure's silken slave; . Who fears to sleep amid the doom That wraps the silent grave, To qnit the scene of earthly joys, Oh, who would yield his breath ? Resign ambition's gilded toys, To welcome death? The soul that feels affliction's pang, To life's dart ills a prey, Soprs to the source from whence it sprang And spurns the cumbrous clay. No more may terrors shake my breast, Or waste my feeble breath ! Death rocks the cradle'of our guest, Then welcome death! - Facts Worth Bememberiag. \ i One thousand shingles, laid four *tches to the weather, will cover one hundred square feet of surface, and five pounds of shingle nails will fasten themNn.
