It is the thirst of his immortal nature, and he rends The rs ck for secret to ivt.uns and pursues The pith f illimitable vvr.d For iiiy&ti lies and thij is human pride. There is t gi-mler clement, and man May breathe it with a calm unrurTUil snul, And think its living waters tiil his heart Is pure, and this is human h ippincss. Its secret and its evidences are writ In the broad book of nature. 'Tis to hr.ve Attentive and believing faculties; To go abroad rejoicing in the jcy Of beautiful and well created thinrs; To love the voice of waters and the sheen Of bilwr fountains leaping to the sea; To thrill with the rich mciodv of birds

Living their life of music; to be glad In the g.tv sunshine, reverent in the storm; To see a beauty in the Stirling leaf. And find calm thoughts beneath the whispering tree: To see and he.tr. and breathe the evidence Of God's deep wisdom in the natural world It is to linger on the magic face Of human beauty, and from light and shade Alike to draw a lesson; 'tis to love The cadences of voices that are tuned By purity and majesty cf thought; To dwell on woman's beauty like a star Whose purity and distance make it fair: And in the gush of music to be still, And feel that it has purified the heart. It is to lo e all v irtue tor itself. All nature for its breathing evidence: Ah! when the eye hath seen c when the ear Hath drunk the beautiful harmony of the world

It is to humble the imperfect mind And lean the broken spirit upon God. SUMMER. Now have green April and blue eyed May Vanish M avhih , and lo! V-.v glorious June (While r.atuie ripens hi his burning noon) C n.eslike a young inheritor, and gay, Altlio' his parant months have pass'd away; But his green crown shall wither, ik. the tune That usher'd in his birth, be silent soon. Ami in the strength of youth shall he decay. What matters this so long as in the past And i t!;c ila s to come, we liv e, and feel The present nothing worth, until it stal Away, and like a disappointment die? For joy, dim child of Hope and Memory, Flies ever on before, or follows fast.

AUTUMN. There is a fearful spirit busy now. Already have the elements unfurl'd Their burners, the great sea wave is up curl'd;

And quickly will the pale red leaves be

I love that moaning music which I hear In the ble ik gusts of Autumn, for the soul Seems gathering tidings from another sphere: And, in sublime mysterious sympathy, Man's hounding spirit ebbs and swells more high.

For years past he has seen them the friends of the white people, and gallantly in battic contending by their side. These tilings the President knows and appreciates, and to the extent, that the power placed within his control will permit, will his desire be to protect, not injure. It he had ever been capable of feeling an impulse cf ambitious desire upon this or any other subject, apart from what

yet, to credit even half that you hear, it may well be inferred that all and every thing vhich reckless injustice can suggest, are intended to be practised. As wandering exiles, they are to be driven from their habitations and their homes, and treated not as men, but as wild beasts of the forest.
