WINTER. 



Timn S'.vifily flies — in bold career, 

 Still circliii; on from year to j'ccr, 

 No pause he makes — o'er town or to\5 cr, 

 By night's still couch — at mid day's hour- 

 Still on he sweeps ; each matin chime 

 Gives warnias of the fliglit of Time. 

 V.ni yesterday — each eye hath seen 

 Nature in youth atxl beauty green ; 

 The cowslip rciised its dewy head — 

 The wild rose graced its wilder bed — 

 The latirel bloom and scented thyme, 

 Combined to form a wreath for Time. 



But He bath dashed Ihem from his brow, 

 And Winter's treasures deck him now— 

 Flis locksdisnlay the snowy gem, 

 Diamonds of hail his diadem, 

 .Vnd Winter, from his frozen clime, 

 Follows the wasting Bighl of Time. 



V,ISE SAYINGS OF POPE.' 



). Fins sense and exalted sense arc not half bo 

 ^jsoftil as common sense. Thcro arc forty men of 

 wit to one man of sense ; and he that will carry 

 nothing about him btit gold, will be every day at 

 a loss for want of readier change. 



2. A man should never bo ashamed to own ho 

 has boon in the wrong ; which. is/tut saying, in 

 other words, that he is wiser to-day than ho was 

 yesterday. 



3. To be angry is to revenge the fault of others 

 upon ourselves. 



4. To relieve the oppressed is Iho most glorioDs 

 act a man \s capable of; it is in some measure do- 

 ing the business of tiod and Providence. 



5. When we are young. Me are slavishly cm- 

 ployed in procuring soiuctliing whereby wo ntay 

 iive comfortably when we grow old ; and when 

 wo are old we perceive it is too late to live as we 

 proposed. 



fi. The world is a thing we must of necessity, 

 either laugh at or be angry witli ; if wo laugh 

 with it, they say we are proud ; if we sto angry 

 at it, they say we are ill-natured.

 " V/hat do I mane 9 why, I mane, that as I was a 

 resting myself down forenent the Pickled Her- 

 ring, and having a drop to comfort me, a jontle- 

 man axed me, what I'd got in the sack ? Oysters, 

 says I ; — 'Let's look at them,' says he; and he 

 opens the bag. ' Och ! Ihunrler and praties, who 



He who does nothing charitable while living, 

 and leaves his property to the poor when dead, is 

 merciful to himself too late. 



Death has generally been called the debt of 

 nature. A modern writer styles it a debt on de- 

 mand. Sometimes ii is a debt at sight. — Nature
