MISCELLANIES. 



TO THE DEPARTED. 



Lips I have kiwcd.ye arc fa<l«<l and coM; 

 llaii'L. 1 have pressid, you arc covered » iili mould ; 

 Form I have clasp'd, lliou art crumbling away ; 

 And Mon in your koaom the weeper will lay. 



Friends of my youlh, I have wilness'd jxror bloom '. 

 giiadi's uf ilic ilvail, I have wepi al your tomb : 

 Tomb, I have tvreaih-i, wen- iliey worihy of Ihee: 

 Bui Mho will c^r gather a garland fur me ? 



FriiMulj of my youlh, ye are hastening awayi 

 Crave, is there room iu ih3- chamber of clay t 

 Ye who have hither so hastily fl«l, 

 Say, is there room in the green curlain'd bed 7 



Dreams of my youth, ye arc faded and gone; 

 Mists of the vale, ye have clouded the morn ; 

 Deaili, will your vapors incessantly roll T 

 And life, must il pass in the night of the soul ? 



Souls of the blest, from the mansions of day. 

 Look on tite [qlgrim. and lighten his way : 

 Wing your swift flight to the death -prepared bed, 

 Vith visions of glory to circle his head. 



Stars, ye arc thick in the pathway of light; 

 Visions of bliss, ye arc banishing night : 

 Pilgrim, arise — for the journey you tread, 

 b leading to regions whence sorrow has fled. 



Buds of the spring, yc are blasted and dead; 

 Leaves of the soramer, your beauty has fled ; 

 Winter of grief, from the night of the tomb. 

 The pole-star. Religion, will scatter llic gloom.

No Minn ever Inflicted a prf;iiioilitaled injury on

If you wonltl lie happy, beware of letting 

 present pleasures iiuike you forget fiilwre pain& 



Tlie best thing to lie ilone when evil comes ii(>- 

 on us, is not Innieiitalion, but action ; not to sit 

 and Buffer, bin rise and seek tlie remedy. 



Beware of self-love — tlie absurd preference 

 which a man gives himself over oilier.i is the 

 source of envy, hatred) and almost .-ill other un- 

 social vices. 



Borroicine:. — .\ young spendthrift wished to buy 

 on credit, an article of a pains-lakiiij?, money-ma- 

 king vender of small wares. " Borrow of thy back, 

 and borrow of thy belly," said the salesman, "they 

 will never ask thee to return the loans ; but I shall 

 be continually dunning thee." 



Foresight. — There are fev/ causes of' misery 

 more producti-.e of unhappincss than undertaking 

 expense which wc cr.nnot afford. 



Forethou/^ht. — Avoiu a hasty reply. It is the 

 second word whicii causes the quarrei. 



A good Rule. — The best practical rule of mo- 

 rality is, never to do anything which you would be 

 unwilling that all the world should know. 



Truth, but not always the toliole truth. — We

How to be Rich. — The secret is not in earning, 

 but in saving. — .■VImost any man can rani money, 

 but few can keep it. A small sum is disregarded ; 

 yet a larger one is only several smaller ones united. 

 — Unless little sums are laid together, liow can 

 there ever he a great one ? 



Suppose a person saves a cent every day — nt 

 the end of a year, he has $3 65 — at the end of 

 80 years, about $100, including interest. — How 

 easy it is for any man to save a cent a day ! How 

 many can save ten cents a day — or $36 50 a year 

 — or about $1000 in 20 years, including interest. 



He who spends 7 cents ujion some idle fancy — 

 for instance, in drink, cigars, fruit, &c., should, at 

 the same time reflect, that he thus throws away 

 the interest of a dollu"- for a year. Are there not 

 often occasions in the course of a day, when a 

 |»ersoii spends 7 cents, 2 cents, or 1 cent, which 

 be might avoid without feeling the worse for it ? 

 There t'O his 10 cents a day — his $1000 in 20 

 years — the very inlcn-st of which would perpetu- 

 ally afford him and his heirs a clear income of 

 970 per annum. 



Many grow rich by saving, with very little 

 facility for earning. Some oid men have always 

 lived well, and are very rich by mere saving, hut

 of the position : — 



An Upper and a Lower Mill

 To war they went, that is, to law, 



Resolved to give no quarter. 



A lawyer was by each engaged ; 



And hotly they contended ; 

 When fees grew slack, the war they waged, 



They judge<l were better ended.
