LANGUAGE AND 
Life’s sky, though clothed with tempest-clouds, 
Grows bright when thou art nigh; 
And tears e’en turn to smiles beneath 
Thine angel-gifted eye. 
Mrs. Scott. 
“ The coreopsis, cheerful as the smile 
That brightens on the cheek of youth, and sheds 
A gladness o’er the aged.”

This has a fragrant, spicy seed, formerly much es. 
teemed by housewives and confectioners. 
CONCEALED MERIT. 
None know thy goodness. Like the fragrant mint. 
Hid in the umbrage of some lowly glen, 
Thy virtues lie concealed; and only love 
In its deep research can unlock the wealth 
Of thy benignant soul, and bring to light 
Its hidden jewels. The lone suffering heart, 
The humble poor, the sorrowing and forlorn, 
These know thy worth. Oh, is not fame like this 
lleyond the praises of a heartless world?
