LIFE AND DEATH. 



O fear not thou to die ! 

 But rathtr uar to live ; ibr Life 

 Has thousand snares (hy feet to try 



By peril, pain, and strile. 



Brief is the work of Death ; 

 But Life ; the s(pirit shrinks to see 

 flow full ere Heaven recalls the breath. 



The cup of woe may be. 



O fear not thou to die : 

 No more to sutler or to sin ; 

 iVo snares without thy faith to try, 



i\o traitor heart -within ; 



But fear, oh 1 rather fear 

 The gay, (he light, the changeful scene, 

 The Huttering smiles that greet thee here, 



From Heaven thy heart th it wean. 



Fear le;t in evil hour. 

 Thy pure and holy hope o'ercome 

 By clouds that in the horizon lower. 

 Thy spirit feel that gloom. 

 Which over earth and heaven 

 The covering throws of fell despair, 

 And deem itself the unforgiven, 

 Predestined child of care. 



O fear not thou to die ! 

 To die, and be that blessed one, 

 \Vho, in the bright and beauteous 



May feel his conflict done ; 



Who feels that never more 

 The tear of grief or shame shall come, 

 For Ihousand wanderings from tliat Power, 



Who loved, and called him home.

J.IAKINU SCHOLARS OK POOR BOYS. 



If a boy is poor in pur.s;! and poor in intellect, it 

 is better to bind him an apprentice to a travelling 

 tinker than to undertake to force him through col- 

 lege. Let a parent, then, in low circumstances,- 

 be fully x-on\iuced by the most indubitable testi- 

 mony and not by paternal fondness and vanity, that 

 his child possesses extraordinary abilities before 

 he attempts to give him what is called a liberal 



educa.tion. But in this country, if a youth possess _

I Laying on a Coat. — On Saturday last some

 Dunces are not the least happy of mankind. — 

 Though unable to afford much pleasure to others, 

 they are commonly pleased with themselves in a
