p O K T n Y. Al L IS NOT DARK BELOW. Cold and ungrateful mint the bosom be Os those who look upon the sunlit earth, And trace the finger <>! the Deity, Yet own no cheerfulness and feel no mirth ; Who deem all dark the lot of manbeUw, One changeless gloom, one all-preyading one. Jiath God then made for naught each lovely thing. That sheds its beauty o'er this world of ours ; Th. fealhei and wablers, that so sweetly sing, The evsr-waving wood, the scented flowers r I cannot think of these, and yet believe That man was only form'd to mourn and grieve. But who can look upon this azuro sky, And mark the glorious orbs revolving there. Or turn his glance towards earth's veranl dye, And deem, wh< re all is form’d so bright and fair That man was made to wonder on in gloom, Then sink in sorrow to the silent tomb f Tia true earth's joys are ever mix'd with care, And men are fated to one common curse ; But should we therelore cherish dark despair, And make our too imperfect being worse f Though ‘ weep with them that weep” is God’i own voice, He bids us too, “with those who joy rejoice ” [Atbeneum ] *""I77 SCELLANEO VS. There are few points in natural philos ophy more remarkable than the infinite di versiiy in the human figure ami counte nance. There are tit mis time, 800,000, 00*3 of human beings in esistance anti no two alike,and yet unsubstantially the |inu‘. An extended view of this astonishing vari ety, is obtained from the consideration, that Since the creation of the world there have passed away more thau a million times the number now in being, uutl that no two of thou., or of any now in life, were alike. And we haveieason to believe that of the endless myriads of those which have pro ceeded us, or those who now eiist, and who will follow us, each and eve y one had a distinguishing mark, either in voice, fea ture, figure, or a certain something not be guageo or measured, and perhaps scarcely to be described.
