Dark clouds may cast a gloomy shade, The sun may cease to mine; The summer’s beauties sll may fade, Aud leave no summer's sign. The furious storm may rise and spread, And bellow loud and long, The manly heart iis rage may dread, Theobetnul cease the song. Still tempests never lust so long That hope yields to despnir, A murmur may escape the tongue— But hope—sweet hope—is there. Hearts may indeed be sore oppressed With painful fears and grief, Yet eometbiog whispers iu the brsaat, Soon there may be relief. Saw ye not yesterday a lad With soirow in his ayes ? His brow was dark, hia heart was sad, Aud uotbiog gave him j.iy. Fortune with bitter taunts swept by And pierced bia fine joung heart; He sigh'd and wept, and wished to die, So painful was the smart. But searealy had the wish gained birth, Thau hope waa at his side; His face put on a mark of mirth, And thus iu hope ha eiicd : 'Oh, what though atorma asaail to-day, Aud all my joys destroy 1 To-uiorrow those will pass away Aud suuahiue bring back joy "For fortune never looks so sad, Or breaths ao eold a breath, But Hope soon comes to make me glad, And cheer me on till death. “Then why should I iudulgt in grief, My heart to sorrow give '( With passing time there eomes relief; 1 hope, then, while I live.” SATURDAY EVEHIHG BEY* A.

A Country \\ iilioul Trees. 'J he New York *'.Sun” thinks there is danger that bifuro many years have passed tbe Uuited Siahts will become s country aiibout trees. Aud ihis prob ability is a danger in the lull seine cf the word, fur a treeless cuuutry is tbe equivalent of an arid desert land, iu which agriculture is an imposstbtli y, Tbe rays: "Throughout tbe Union timber Is be ing cut iu order to supp y tbe enormous demand, without any regard to tbe ef fect of thus denuding ihe country. T..is is pamculariy t. uo of tue Atlauiio Stales. A.i trees d:s. ppear, e p eially from the heads ot gre-l waier oouises, whence mu h of jjur lumb-T oouies, the riv.rs lessen iu volume, ir e annual tall cf raio throughout the cleared Cis not diminishes, uud as u ouustqusnce the agricultural product is reduced. Per feo ly accurate siati.-tics show such re rlilts as these in Eur |xaQ countries, trom large putj.ons of which the stand ing wood has been swept away. •‘tihould tba dcs’rucnon ot timber iu this country cominue wiih its present rapidity, aud no provisions be made for the planting of forests to replace the loss, ill th« States will probahty become a rainless region like Anzooa, where croje can bw grown only by the aid of expensive artificial urig&'iou of tbe soil, she present consumption of wo<d n tbe Uui'td fpatts is eo buu dred aud fitiy thousand seres of the best timber is out evety year to supply the demand for isiiway .- e pcis a.one.

In a sin gle year the locomotives us the United States consume fifty-six dubious ol dol lars worth of wood.

Probably laws will have eventually to be enacted by Smto Legislatures to prevent such destruc tion of the iorest as will be likely to rtpultio natural injury to the country, aud it may be necessary to encourage the planting of forests to meet the de mands of me future.” Dcatu We have seldom road any thing mure beautiful than the following from the pen of George D Prentice .* "Thereis but a breath of air and a bent of tbe heart oetwixt this world and tbe next Aud iu the br el interval of pam'u) and awful suspense, while we feel that de th is pre.*eDt with us, that we are powerlufe, »Dd He all powerful, aod the faiot pu satioa there is but tbe prelude of endless life hereafter, we feel in tbo niiistof the stuuniog calam ity fcb ut to befall us, that the eartu uas no oompmsati >n good enough to miti gate tbe severity of our loss.
