Tl.e following beouliful lines are from the rich rnuse 



of fj.jetic gnililuJe and piely. 



tVINTER. 

 1 ,leem thee not unlovfly-thon^h thou com-st 

 With a stern visage. To the tuneless hnd- 

 Thc tender flow'ret— the rejoicing stream, 

 Thy discipline is harsh. But unto man, 

 Methinlis thou hast a kindlier ministry— 

 Thy lengthened eve is full of fireside joy-. 

 And deathless linking of warm heart to heart; 

 So that the hoarse stream passes by unheard. 

 Earth, robed in white, a peaceful sabbath holds. 

 And kcepelh silence at her n.aker's feet. 

 She ceascth from the harrowing of the plough, 

 And from the harvest shouting. 



Man should rest 

 Thus from his fevered passlons-and exhale 

 The unhrcathed carbon of his festering thought. 

 And drink in holy health. As the tossed bark 

 Doth seek the shelter of some quiet bay. 

 To trim its shattered cordage, and repair 

 Us riven sails— so should the toil-worn mind 

 Refit for lime's rough voyage. Man, perchance, 

 Soured by the world's sharp commerce, or impaired 

 By the wild wanderings of his summer way, 

 Turns like a truant scholar towards his home, 

 And his nature to sweet influences 

 That purify and save. 



The ruddy boy 

 Comes with his shouting school-mates from their sport, 

 On the smooth frozen lake, as the first star 

 Hangs pure and cold its silvery cresset forth ; 

 And, throwing oft' his skates, with boisterous glee, 

 Hastes to his mother's side. Her tender hand 

 Doth shake the snow-flakes from his glossy curls. 

 And draws him nearer, and, with gentle voice, 

 Asks of his lessons— while her lifted heart 

 Solicits silently the Sire of Heaven 

 To bless the lad. 



The timid infant learns 

 Belter to love its father- longer sits 

 Upon his knee, and with a velvet lip 

 PrinU on his brow such language, as the tongue 

 Hath never spoken. 



Come thou to life's feast. 

 With dove-eyed meekness and bland charily— 

 And thou shall find e'en winter's rugged blart 

 The minstrel teacher of the well-tuned soul ; 

 And when the last drop of its cup is drained, 

 Ari.sing willi a song of praise, go up 

 To ihe eternal banquet. 



,f I (lifl, I should have to un.lcrgo a most dismal 

 e.M.ostulutio.v from lier. There was such a 

 niounifulncss in her style; it was not a good 

 dowiright sturdy sort of grmiible, it was all soi- 

 rowliilness, aud almost, nay, sometimes q.i.te cn'- 

 in-. She used to say that she felt herself a bur- 

 d.'n to every one; a.id when any one ''»'"«;"«';'; 

 her, she useil to express herself so deeply obliged 

 by every kind attention, though at the same time 

 any omission of such civility would provoke a 

 serious fit of lamentation. She converted, or 

 rather perverted everything into the means ot 

 „,ournfuhiess. She had the knack of maknig 

 things joyful the means of sadness. Her thank- 

 fulness w^s lamentable ; she had a ktnd ot piety, 

 peculiar, 1 think to herself, for every pan. i.l or 

 unpleasant circumstance in life she regarded as a 

 punishment for her sins, and everything that was 

 Pleasant, prosperous, or agreeable, set her upon 

 ' rieving at the thought that it was more than she 

 deserved. In dry weather, she thought that the 

 earth would be parched up, and that all vegeta- 

 tion would perish; and in wet weather, it she 

 could not see a rambow, she thought that another 

 deluge was coming to sweep away the inhabitants 

 of the earth. She saw in the world nothing but 

 sin and sorrow. She used to say that ministers 

 ot the gospel should never laugh, and that they 

 wore black to intimate that they were in mourning 

 for the sins of the yyoM.—Auto-hiography oj a 

 Dissenting Minister.

PEMAI.K GRUMBLER. 



There were more circulating libraries in the 

 town than one, but the principal was that which 

 had a news-room connected with it, and was 

 kept by one of the congregation to which I had 

 the honor of preaching. The keeper of the h- 

 brary was a widow, whose chief characteristic 

 was the severity with which sl,.^ rega.-ded the lail- 

 i„,-s and faults of mankind, mingled with a very 

 \\yt:\y feelin- of the evils or inconveniences to 

 which she practised grumbling, because she vvas 

 naturally and constitutionally eloquent, or whether 

 ^he became eloquent from the practice ot grum- 

 bling, I could not tell. For my part, I nevx-r 

 Jared to pass a day without calling to see her ; tor 



COLERIDGE'S EPITAPH. 



The Epitaph which Coleridge wrote on himself, has 

 been reprinted in several publications. It was not 

 found siitahle for inscription, under the e.rcumstanees 

 n which he died. The following memorial po^-^s ^s 

 exquisite beauty, and we are .nformed, .s a jus descrip- 

 tion of the private character of this g,eal man Us 

 inscribed on a tablet erected in Highgate New Church. 

 —Boston Observer. 



Sacred to the* memory of 



SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE, 



P.oel, Philosopher, Theologian. 



This truly great and good man resided for 



The last nineteen years of his life 



In this Hamlet. 



He quitted the " body of this death, ' 



July 25th, 1834, 



In the sixtysecond year of his age. 



Of his profound learning and discursive genius. 



His literary works are an imperishable record. 



To his private worth. 



His social and Christian virtues, 



James and Ann GiUman, 

 The friends with whom he resided 

 During the above period, dedicate this tablet. 

 Under the pressure of a lingering 

 And most painful disease, 

 His disposition was unalterably sweet aud angelic, 

 ie was an cver-dnring, ever-loving friend, 

 The gentlest and kindest teacher, 

 The most engaging homc-coinpanion. 

 " O framed for calmer times and nobler hearts, 

 O studious poet, eloquent for truth ! 

 Philosopher, contemning wealth and death, 

 Yet docile, childhke, full of life and love ; 

 Here on this monumental stone, 

 Thy friends inscribe thy worth. 

 Reader ! for the world mourn, 

 A light has passed away from earth ; 

 But for this pious and exalted Christian, 

 Rejoice, and again I say to you, rejoice.
