bons, each holding a beautiful garland before j
her, forming rich festoons on cither side. Two

Nor clouds, nor vapor, nor the chilling storm
Are ours alone without the heart to warm;

May all your schemes of happiness be blest; *
May life’s long day, he ever clear as now,
And at its close, peace settle on thy brow. f

Deem not intrusive my chill practice here, —

Lead on by Autumn, ever fond ol change,
Through Nature’s sweet vicissitudes we range.
The shower and sunshine es an April day
We’ve i-con succec.lc I by the charms of May,
Whose gonial influence manlier every tree, —
And loads lire flower with honey for the lea.
Our reign can boast no bounties such as these;
Ours is the chilling breath, the stirring breeze,
That wafts the scar end yellow loaf away,
And flowing rivulets in their course wo slay.
Still on the festival of May wc smile.
Pleased at her court to linger yet a while.

‘Tis strange! I’.c ofen wondered why ’twas so

To tee fine things got up vv ith taste n.d care ;
