Bear with your neighbour, and be ever ready to make excuses for him. S. FRANCIS DE SALES.

Ah, friend! to dazzle let the vain design,
To raise the thought and touch the heart be thine.

Love is sweet, given or returned :

Common as light is Love,

And its familiar voice

Wearies not ever.

РОРЕ.

P. B. SHELLEY.

Come tread the golden streets and join that glorious

throng,

The happy ones of Heaven and Earth, ten thousand times ten thousand. Proverbial Philosophy: TUPPER.

Let each loss that makes earth dreary,
Make the hope of Heaven more clear.

The Changed Cross, and other Poems.

THE great sun,

Scattering the clouds with a resistless smile,
Came forth to do thee homage: a sweet hymn
Was by the low winds chanted in the sky;
And when thy feet descended on the earth
Scarce could they move amid the clustering flowers
By Nature strewn o'er valley, hill, and field,
To hail her blest deliverer. Ve fair trees,
How are ye changed, and changing while I gaze!
It seems as if some gleam of verdant light
Fell on you from a rainbow, but it lives
Amid your tendrils, brightening every hour
Into a deeper radiance. Ye sweet birds,
Were you asleep through all the wintry hours,
Beneath the waters, or in mossy caves?

Yet are ye not,

Sporting in tree and air, more beautiful

Than the young lambs, that from the valley side
Send a soft bleating, like an infant's voice,

Half happy, half afraid.

The strife of working intellect, the stir
Of hope's ambitions, the disturbing sound
Of fame, and all that worshipped pageantry
That ardent spirits burn for in their pride,
Fly like disparting clouds, and leave the soul
Pure and serene as the blue depths of heaven.

WILSON.
