THE LIGHT OF TRUTH. . By B. S. Bulfnch, Editor-of the Rcgersville uazette, Tennessee "Let there be light," the first command That burst from Heaven's ex- . alted throne ; Jehovah gave the stern decree, And forth immediate radiance shone; nrlm n tf firlnrinm nrh nf dav.
X Jll OUll VWW v J -l Was ordered to assume his sphere ; To shed on earth the enhVng shine abroad from year to year. But there's a light, a brighter light Than Sun or Nature e'er could claim ; Tis shed through all creation's space, And bears a great, and glorious name. This light has shone since man was made ; And it will shine 'till worlds decay
In brightness tar exceeds tnc morn, With it the gloomy night is day. Vould you enquire, what is this light That shines with refulgent blaze ; Its name is T RUTH and truth alone Can bring our wandering souls to grace. SPRING. )3eneath the leafless oak I stood, And listened to the morning blast ; The roaring of the distant flood, Told of the storm that now was past. When from the south advancing slow, A form of beauty caught my eye, Tsaw her tears in torrents flow, And from her lips burst many a sigh. 'Twas Spring She viewed with shrinking fear, The frozen stream, the barren plain, The joyless vale, and forest drear, Blasted beneath their tyrant's reign. And oft she stopped and looked behind, With wistful eye to southern fields, Where vines arc found the green oak twin'd, And every grove its music yjelds. But fate's commands must all obey, And still advanced the weeping fair While every igh that forced its way Poured heavenly fragrance cm the air. And soon she noticed with sur-nrise,
That wheresoe'er her tear drops fell Straightway the sweetest flowers would rise And bloom, as though by magic spell. Plcas'd with the sight she rais'd her eyes, That long were fixed upon the ground, No temptest foul deformed the skies But peace and beauty smiled around ! The frozen stream, the baron plain, The joyless vale & forest drear, Had lost the gloom of winter's reign, And, felt the renovated year. t With soft delight the change she view'd, , And heard sweet Warblers sing their loves 5 Tripping the dew her course pursued, And bounded light thro vales and groves. Nor knew herself to be the power, That cloth'd with joy each hill and dale, Gave health and sweetness to the hour, Arid all its fragrance to the gale. A person lately bought at an administrator's sale in London, an old walnut chest of drawers for 4 3. On carrying them home, a secret drawer fell out, containing 110 guineas.
