BY J . WILBER. 
A bright-eyed bird, with snowy wings, 
Oft cometh to our earthly home; 
And in rich notes of music sings 
Of happy hours in time to come. 
It sings of golden Summer days,— 
Of elysian groves and isles of balm; 
Where light-winged Zephyr gaily plays, 
Amid the sweet, delicious calm. 
It sings of wealth, of love, of fame— 
Of all the tlirobbing heart holds dear; 
Nor cloud nor storm its song can tame, 
Nor wint’ry blasts destroy its cheer. 
’Tis Hope —the siren—cheating still, 
Yet still we list the pleasing strain ; 
And, in the darkest hours of ill, 
Expect the dawn of joy again. 
Sing on, sweet bird ! though oft deceived, 
Thy charmed song, well pleased, we liear;- 
When sorest is the heart bereaved, 
Then let thy notes swell loud and clear. 
Enchanting warbler! may thy lays 
To us, in life’s dull path, be given; 
Till, sweetly lured, we join the praise 
Of all the “ saved by hope,” in Heaven.

“ Contentment is bettor than wealth,” ho
