D. 1662, Like as the damask rose you seb, Or like the blossom on the tree, Or like the dainty flower of May, Or like the morning to the day, Or like the sun, or like the shade, Or like the gourd which Jonas had, Vensuchis man, whose thread is spun, Drawn out, and cut, and go is done. The rose withers, the blossom blasteth, The dower fades, the morning basteth, The sun sets, the shadow flies, The gourd consumes—and man he dies! Like to the grass that's newly sprung, Or like a tale that’s now begun . Or like the bird that's here to-day, Or like the pearled dew of May, Or like an hour, or like a s pan, Or like the singing of a awan, Bin such is man, who lives by breath, Is here, Wow there, in lifeo and death, That withers, the fate se ended, The bird is flown, the dew's ascended, The hour is short, the span not long, ‘She sway's near death—uan‘s litenc ‘on BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT, “7 have seen an end of all perfection.” T have seen a man in the glory of his days the pride of his strength. He was built like the tall cedar that lifts its head’ above the forest trees, like the strong oak that strikes its root deeply into the earth. He feared no danger —he felt no sickness. His mind was vigorous like his body, he was perplexed at no intricacy, he was daunted at no difficulty ; into hidden things he searched, and what was drook ed he made plain. He went forth far lessly upon the face of the mighty deep ; he surveyed the nations of the earth ; he measured me distances of the stars, and called them by their names; he gloried in the extent of his knowledge, in the vigor of his understanding, and strove to search even into what the Almighty had conceal ed. And when I looked on him, 1 said, “What a piece of work is that how no ble in reason ! how infinite in facullties ! in form and proving how express and ad mirable ! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how file a go!” T returned—its look was no more lofty, nor his stop proud 3 his broken frame was like some ruined tower; his hairs were white and scattered , and his eye gazed vacantly upon what was passing a round him. The vigor of his intellect was wasted, and of all that he had gain ed by study nothing remained. He fear ed when there was no danger, and when there was no sorrow he wept, his memo ry was decayed and treacherous, and showed him only broken images of te glory that was departed. His house was to him like a strange land, and his friends were countedny his eremies; and he thought himself strong and healthful while his foot tottered on the verge of the grave. He said of him #on—he is my brother ; f ine daughter—I know her not; and he inquired what was his own name. And one who supported his last steps, and mi nistered to his many wants, said to me, and looked on the melancholly scene.— * Let thine heart receive instruction, for thou had seen an end of all earthly perfec tion,” I have seen a beautiful female treading the first stages of youth, and entering joy, fully into the pleasures of life. The glance of her eye was variable and sweet, and on her cheek trembled something like the first blush of the morning; her lips mov ed, and there was harmony , and when she floated in the dance, her light form like the aspen seemed to move with every breeze. TD returned—but she was not in, the dance. I sought her in the gay circle of her companions, but L found her not. Her eye sparkled hot there—the music of her Voice was silent—she rejoiced on earth notre. T saw train subtle and slow paced, who bore sadly to an opened grave what once was animated and beautiful.—' They paused as they approached, and a voice broke the awful silence .— Mingle ashes with ashes, and dust with its origi nal dust. To the eath, whence she was at first taken, consign we the body of our sister.” They covered her with the damp soil, and the solid clods of the valley; and the worms crowded into her silent abode. Yet one sad mourner lingered, to cast hinges upon the grave, and as he wept he said,— There is no beauty, or grace, or loveliness that continueth in wir; for this is the end of all his glory and perfec tion.” I have seen an infant with a fair brow, and a frame like polished ivory. Ttuibs were pliant to its sports ¢ it rejoiced, and again it wept; but whether its glowing cheek dimpled with stiles, or its fiue eye was brilliant with tears, still I said to my heart, “It is beautiful.” It was like the first pure blossom which some chershed plant hag shot forth, whose cup is filled with a dew-drop, and whose head reclines upon its parent stem, I again saw this child when the lamp of reason first dawned in its mind. Its soul was gentle and peaceful; its eye sparkled with joy, as it looked round on this good and pleasant world. He ran swiftly in the ways of knowledge—it bowed its ear to instruction—it stood like a lamb before its teachers. It was not proud, or envious, or stubborn, and it had never heard of the vices and vanities of the world. And when I looked upon it, I remembered that our Saviour had said, “ Except ye become as little children, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.” But the scene was changed, and I saw a mat whom the world called honoribte, and Janny waited for his smile. They pointed out the fields *what I were his, and talked of the silver nisl gold’that he had gathered; they adisired the stateliness of his dames, and extolled the honor ‘of Lig family. And his edge answered secretly, By my wisdom haved grined aAahds,' Fo he returned no tanks to God, neither did he fear or serve him. And og 1yyavsed a long T heard the complints of the laborera who had reaped down the fields, and the cries of the Jroor whose covering behind taken away; but the sound of feasting and revelry woo in his oppartments, and the onfed hegear cante tort tran bin door. But he roundel and it the cries of the oppressed were ontinually cotering in the dave of the Most Hig. — And when I knew that this man was onte the teachable child that I had loved—the beautiful infin that’ had gazed upon with delight—I said in ‘ny bitchness I have seen the end of all perfection,” and laid my mouth in the dust . IS HE MARRTED? : “What!” I exclaimed, stirring the to make’ a blaze for I and not of candles, * iw it possible ?—JWith Mr. a Mrs. Charles Thompson's complimentat— Charles Thompson married !—married !— poor fellow ! 7 Tastily obtained a candle, opened th packet, and found in it a piace of bird coke, with a few words. Written inaam a ferale hand, informing me that “ Mr. mi Mrs. Charles Thompson” would be ready to receive visitors off Rearta] to I was perfectly ditowbloode ™ Ahays ‘Thompson-married! Tehduid sooner have expected snow in midsummer. Married ? we Were patterns of the greatest inti macy ; we have dined together, day by lay, for several yaura past ; and yet he ret even suspected ‘thit he was in love.— When I just saw him he told me that he was about to visit ‘Tunbridge Wells, on busi ness. And then to whom is he married . Everybody knows Charles ‘Clompson 5 he is to be seen in ‘@very book-shop, and at every book-stall and book-auction in town. His days are spent in public libra ries, and his rights for the most part, in his study. For himself, he is the meeki est, mildest, most unobtrusive, and modest Tullow in existence; he never can speak to a woman without blushing ; and as for wooing—pshaw ! the thing is inpossible. He must have courted by deputy, and have’ been inarried by proxy. T could not ue davatent by ON with fr Wem out our doors the annoyance was still greater. He was continually met by such questiongnae * Pray, who is Mrs. Charles Thompagn ?!™ ‘Who would have thought Charlee Thompson would have married? 7 nevet! was #0 astonished as'when heard of it? who is she?” “I don’t know.” “Non sense! impossible!” “Tt is true,” said T, surely, and walked on.” Time, however, passed way oy it was wont to do, and the period approached at which the happy couple were expect to return to town. “But a few mornings be fore that day arrived, I was astonished by the usual redden and abrupt entrante of my old friend Charles into my parlour 2? “X,” said he, “ how do you to ?” : T paused a moment, regarding my oldb friend, Whose topics were full of ‘trouble and anxiety, and then kindly inquired— “ My dear Charles? how are you ! how!” —T hesitated—1 would have inqured, “how is Mya. Thompson ?” thnis words would not come form, and 1 closed the sentence With “Ww did you return to town ?”? “Only list bight; what an unlucky af fair is this !” *Ah!” said I, “0 was dismally surpri sed to hear it. How came you be fed into it?” “O, Lord, 1 don't know; we are all of us overaken at times —and L rearly thought 1 was doing a kindness.” “A kindness !” echoed 1, “yes, batt a very serious expense. Why didn’t you ‘alk to me about it ?” “0, T had a sort of presentaent that £ Should repeat it, and thought you would only laugh at we. But what can I do? “What can you do why, I suppose you have already done everything that can be done; there igo getting ot of it now.” “Tam afraid not—that I mask my mode of living.” Sthenae “Ah, that you mets you that give up your old literary pWsuiternard attend close ly to your profession—and all our vumrore table dinners ot —=+,” ~ “Ah?! those are all ab an end? “But did you get no money at all?” , quired f. “Not a rixpence!” was the answers “it was purely a matter of accommoda tion. ‘An accommodation! why, rounds, man! how could you be such no fool?” “O, I was taken by surprise, in an evil moment.
