To thee, fair Science op'd her ample store, Yils-and to thee for kindness look'd the poor. T!>at mighty mind on eagle wings that soar d, The darkest paths of learning that explor'd, Wis s:1il attentive to the orphan's cry, The peasant's mournful tale-the widow's sigh. Thine was the humour which bade sadness smile, And thine the christian heart that know no guile! Like God's true shepherd, thy incessant aim IVas-the poor wandering sinner to reclaim- To preach Christ crucified—disarm all strife, And feed the hungry with the bread of life. If here thou trod'st affliction's-gloomy way, If cares and sorrows mark'd thy cloudy day, Now thy blest spirit rests in that domain, Where death is nam'd not—and where pleasures reign. Adieu, kind master—best of friends, adieu, God will again our intercourse-renew, Where, no more sever'd fiom thy fond embrace, "Ye'U praise th' eternal God-the God of grace. D.E. During the etst winter, Mr. BUtks and his wife, with an infant child, of Salem (New York), set ont on a visit to Vermont, passing over the Green Mountains, in crossing which the snow was jomul to be deep and pathless.

And through the (triftitig- snow she press'd, The babe was sleeping on her breast. And colder still the winds did blow, And darker hours of night came on, And deeper grew the drifts of snow— Her limbs were chill'd, her strength was gone. O God she cried, in accents wild, If I must perish—save my child She stripp'd her mantle from her breast, And bar'd her bosom to the storm, And round the child she wrapt the vest. And smil'd to think the babe was warm. With one cold kiss, one tear she shed, And sunk upon a snowy bed. At dawn, a traveller passed by, And saw her 'neath a snowy veil; The frost of death was in her eye, Her cheek was cold, and hard, and pale.

ÛH, ever skill'd to wear the form we love To bid the shapes of fear and grief depart, Come, gentle Hope with one gay smile remove The lasting sadness of an aching heart. Thy voice, benign Enchantress let me hear, Say that for me some pleasures yet shall blooni That Fancy's radiance, Friendship's precious teeLf, Shall soften or shall chase misfortune's gloom. But come not, glowing in the dazzling ray. Which once, with dear illusions,, chann'd my eye! Oh, shew no more, sweet Flatterer on my way The flowers I fondly thought too tight to die. Visions, less fair, will soothe my pensive breast That asks not happiness, but longs for rest. INFORTUNUS.
