Amu only those look back
Whose wasted wealth or shatter?*l health
Betrays a shameless track.
. I cannot join in mourning time
Forever passed away;
For, while I look on Nature's book,
I'm thankful for to-day.
The trees are still as fresh an?l orraeit
As ever brunches were;
And. still in prima! rigor seen, '
They ware tbeir arms in air.
The rivers sing the self same song
That they hare sung fur aye;
'Whose burden, as they glide along,
K *God it here to day.*' *
Tlisro's not a bird upon the bough,
Or leaf upon the tree,
But ia the summer twilight now
As sweetly sing* to me.
The bleakest wind that winter blows
Can chase disease away,
And shower blessings in the snows
That bide the earth to-day.
And every where a thousand gifts
Invite us to rejoice?
To grieve no more the days of yore, 1
< But raise a thankful voice;
That tell us, though the world were fair
2 la years removed for aye,
The earth and sky and sea and air
? As lovely are to day.
* Theo tell me not that childhood's days
Aleoe are fraught with joy;
Thai manhood** fancy cannot raise
Tim structures ef the hoy. b i
The childish mind Is lost la dreams
Of pictures Cm away ;
But man beholds majestic themes,

Pronouncing fate unjust?

frowning ami unyielding on all visionary

His heart was not warm in its affections;

share in conversation, his colloquial talents
were not above medocrity, possessing neither
copiousness of ideas nor fluency of WOTfl*.
In public, when called upon for n sudden
opinion, he was unready, short, and embarrassed.
Yet he wrote readily, rather than
difficultly, in an easy and correct style.?
This he had acquired by conversation with
the world ; for his education was merely
reading and writing, and common arithmetic.

sorrowful, struck the ear of the news-boy,
