THE RIVER.
Onward, still onward the waters are hurrying,
Quiet and still, yet resistless and free;
Steadily Solving, thy will never wavering.
Gliding along to thy home in th ■ sea.
Gay plmnagcd warblers above thee sing tnerrilv,
Sus. soothing songs to entire thee to stay ;
Vain a'c die melodies, thou art unheedingly
Gliding along thy meandering way.
Low o’er thy bosom the willows confidingly
Lean as they list to thy murmuring song.
Fain would they lure thee to linger vet steadily,
Thou art still flowing regardless along.
Softly and gently the breezes nr wooing thee,
Whispering tales of a beautiful land.
O'er whose fair bosom iho rivers unceasingly
Wash the bright gold from the glittering sand.
On thy green banks the fair lilies lean over thee,
Wild roses waft thee their sweetest perfume;
Rivulets sing, as they ha*.c t-> thee lovingly,
Songs of a fair distant Eden in bloom.
Yet all in vain they caress thee so wi tellingly;
Pleasure and wealth are all hol'ow to thee.
Onveard,-still onward thy waters nnheedingly
Flow to their home in the measureless sea.
Learn, oh! thou child of poor toiling humanity,
Learn from the river the seen* of fame;
Firm pers vcranco will conquer edv rsity,
And gild in the annals of glory thy name.
Pleasure, the siren, may warhle hor melodies;
Wealth may brood over his glittering hoard,
Yet at thy calling still labor contentedly, •
Toil ever bringeth the sweetest reward.

A BEAUTIFUL MORAL BEAUTIFULLY FOYIT.YETI,
We received (says an exchange) some-time since ‘
a copy of the letter which we subjoin. It was writ
ten by a distinguished literary lady, Mrs. AY ,of
Troy, and addressed to a learned gentleman of New
Haven, on the evo of his marriage. The letter ae
cotnpanied the present of a pair of blue shirkings,
knit by the fair writer’s own fingers, and we coin
mend it to the perusal of all married persons as wiT
as all who contemplate* entering into that “cnviabl
and holy state.’
“De.tß C> rsiv: Herewith you wi’l receive pros,
ont of a pair of woollen stockings, knit by my ow n
hands: and be assured, coz, Hint my frier, lship foi
you is as warm as the material, active as th finger
work, ami genet ous as the condition.
••Rut f consider this pres nt ns peculiarly appro
printl - on the o< casion of votir marriage. You will
remark, in the first plac., that there r.r two Individ
uala united into one pair, wlio arc to walk side by
side, gttarding against coldness, anti giving comfort
as long as they last. The thread of their texture i
mixed, and so, alas, is the thread of life. In these,
however, the white U > el.- to predominate, express
im- inv desire and confideti'T that thus it will be with ‘
the color of your existence. Vo black i? use 1, Tr I
believe votir lives will be wholly free from the black
passion* of wrath and jealousy. The darkest color
here is blue, which is exc Her.f. “ here we do nol
make it too blue.
“Other appropriate thought? rise in my tnind in
regarding tin s stockings. The most indifferent sub
jects, when viewed by the mind ;n a suLnb'e frame,
ii.ay furnish instructive infer't-- •. .*> saith the poet:
• Th” iron dogs; the fuel and tong*;
The bellows that h.r e leathern lungs;
The firewood, ftshc-s, and the smoke,
Do ill to righiebuKiU’S - provoke.’
“But to the subject. You will perceive that the
tops “f these stockings (by w hick 1 suppose court
ship to h repres nt'.-d) are teamed; and by moan
of seaming are drawn into a snarl; but aftrwards
comes a time when the whole i.- made t lair and
