A FEW YEARS. 

 Oil! afew years! how the words come. 



Like frost across the heart! 

 We need not weep, we need not smile, 



For a few years, a little while, 

 And it will all depart. 



And we shall he with those who lie 



Where there is neither smile nor sigh. 



Yet—" afew years"— is this the whole 



Of chillness in the name'! 

 That, glad or wretched, afew years. 



With their tumnltuous hopes and fears. 

 And 'twill be all the same — 



Our names, our generation, gone. 



Our day of life's dream done"! 



Ah! this were nothing — fewer still 



Will do to bury all 

 That made life pleasant once, and threw 



Over iL>i stream the sunny hue 

 That it shall scarce recall. 



There is a gloomier grave than death. 



For hearts where love is as life's breath. 



Ay, pain sleeps now, but, afew years. 



And how all, all may change! 

 How some whose hearts were like our ov/n, 



So woven with ours, so like in tone 

 By then may have grown strange; 



Or keep but that tame cutting show 



Of love that freezes fervor's flow! 



But — worse and saddest— o/cw years. 

 And happy is the heart, 



That still believes itself the same- 

 Its now calm pnlse, so dead,' so tame,-' 



To be the one whose lightest start 

 Was bliss, even though it wrung hot tears, 

 To tlie cold rest of latter years. 



The storms and buds together gone. 



The sunshine and the rain— 

 Our hopes, our cares, our tears grown few. 



We love not as we used to do. 

 We never can again! 



And thus much for afew short years— 



Cao the words breathe of much that cheers'? 



Yet something we must love, while life 



Is warm within the breast; 

 Oh! would that earth had not, even yet. 



Enough, too much, whereon to set 

 Its tenderness supprest! 



Would this world had indeed no more 



On which affection's depth to pour! ^ 



For then how easy it would be. 



In contriteness of soul. 

 Weary and sick, to bring to One, 



To the Unchangeable alone. 

 Devotedly the whole! 



Then afeii) years, at rest forgiven. 



Himself would dry all tears in heaven'! 



[From the Salem Gazette.] 



Look well to your fires — The following 

 excellent rules wore circulated in Boston a quar- 

 ter of a century since, in the form of a jninted 

 handbill, and |ii"it into the |iul)lic rooms, as a coit- 

 etant tnonitor to guard against the danger of fire. 

 It may do some good, but can do no harm, to re- 

 publish it at this lime. 



1. Remember that fire is a good servant, but a 

 bad master: It cannot take care of itself; and 

 voiir ])ersonaI interest as well as your duty to the 

 public requires that you take care of it, 



2. When you are about to leave your fire at 

 stated times, make your calculations beforehand 

 to have no more fire than you can dispose of with 

 safety. 



3. Never leave one stick of wood upon another, 

 partly burnt. 



4. Never leave a stick partly burnt standing in 

 the corn3r. 



5. Examine your brush after sweeping a hearth, 

 especially at night. 



6. Never suft'er hot ashes to stand in a wooden 

 vessel. 



7. Never leave paper or linen near your fire. 

 S. Never read in bed by candle light. 



9. After all precautions, remember that an in- 

 habited building is liable to destruction by fire. 

 Be prepared for an emergency : Keep your water 

 buckets filled. When a fire has begun, suffer it 

 not to be increased by a needless current of air 

 from doors and windows. 



10. Should the fire have made such progress as 

 to prevent your escape by a stair-case, and should 

 the distance be too great to leap from a window, 

 endeavor to descend by the help of your bed cord, 

 or by tying your bed-clothes together. It would 

 be wcli to keep a rope in your chambers for this 

 very purpose, 



11. If safety does not appear probable in this 

 way, wrap yourself up in a blanket, hold your 

 breath, and rush through the flames. If water he 

 at hand, first wet the blanket. 



It would be well on the family's retiring to bed 

 to have all the inside doors of the house closed, 

 that in case of fire in one a))artment, it may be 

 confined there, and not coiTimunicate immediately 

 with other parts of the building. 



DULNESS OF A VEGETABLE WORLD Unpeopled 



by animals, the verdant earth in all its primitive 

 and untarnished beauty, though inlaid with flow- 

 ers, exhibiting in endless variety every mixture 

 and shade of color that can glad the sight — 

 though fanned by gales breathing Sabean odors to 

 gratify tlie scent — though tempting the appetite 

 by delicious fruits of every flavor — still would 

 be a scene without the breath of life. No motion 

 I would be seen but of the passing clouds, of the 

 fluctuating waters, and the waving bough's, no 

 voice hearil but of the elements. 



Was a single pair placed in this paradise, though 

 at first it would seem that there was gratification 

 for every sense, and joy would [)ossess the heart, 

 and admiration fill the soul with pleasure, — yet 

 after the novelty of the spectacle had ceased, and 

 the eflect of its first impression was obliterated, a 

 void would soon be felt, something more would 

 seem wanting to animate the otherwise lovely 

 scene ; a longing would arise in the mind for some 

 beings, varying in form ttnd magnitude, furnished 

 with organs that would enable them to traverse 

 and enliven the lower regiotis of the atmospheie, 

 others that might course over the earth's surface, 

 and others that could win their easy way through 

 its waters, so that all by their numbers and the 

 variety of their motions, might exhibit a striking 

 and interesting contrast to the fixed and uncon- 

 scious vitality of the vegetable kingdom. — Kirby's 

 Bridgewater Treatise..
