LINES SUGGESTED BY THE DEATH OF
. ,., T. W. P. .y;' -
I would not weep for thee I Oh no, fair boy, s
Thine if a scene more brightly full of joy
Dull earth with all iU sullen pangs and woes.
No more can chill thy spirit's calm repose ;
No more the touch of fierce disease and pain
Can twine around thy heart ita crushing chain.
I would not weep and yet tear-drop muit i y
Fall o'er tloso hopes now crumbled into dint. J
Fond eye had followed thy young promise on.
And thought the goal of joy already won ;
But thou.lhe object of those, hcart-brcalh'd pray'rs,
' Haat left to u but unavailing tcara !
Thy tmile around the fire-tide hearth no more
Gleams with the happy right that once it wore,
No cornea the echo of thy eteps alottg
The scenes made joyous withlhy voice of song;
The atarry gladneai of thine cyea haa fled;
Thy home ii now among the silcntdc'ad ! .
Yet Fancy find in each familiar sccue
Some gentle token, where thy course hai besri,
And joya to fill thy desolated hall
With object which thy memory will recall ;
And Hope, escaping from the clog of earth,
Point far beyond the grave thy second birth !
I will not weep ! there cornea a pealing tone
To listening worlds, from seraph's harp-strings
thrown,
That stills, in joyful awe, the voice of wo, '
And bidawe.soul beyond thin dim world go,
On Faith's strong pinions borne far, far away.
To join the loved and lost in I loaven' etetTiol day!

POLITICAL AMBITION.
- But above all things, the young man has
heed to be warned against turnine politi
cian as a business and profession, Of all
employments this is one ofthe most wretch-
ca ana unproiiiaoic. loo otten a young
man, whonas a more tlnn ordinary talent
for talking, (the mischief generally com-
mences here,) begins to think because he
can entertain a circle of his companions,
with a wordy and suficrficial dissertation on
public affairs, that lie discovers in himself
the talents of a statesman and legislator. Se
ductive visions begin ' to float before the
invagination, of political power and consc.
quencc. Ho pictures himself addressing
multitudes ; swaying legislatures, mounting
from one grado of office to another, till fhc
highest places in the. country seem to be tit

but the probability of his continuing so is
very smalj. J laving commenced the life
bfr a politician, .bent upon Succeeding at nrny
rate, the question with him is no longer what
is true and what is right, but what win1 be
popular. He looks out to seo what ques
tions are likely' to occupy public attention,
and what side is likely to -find 'most favor
with the multitude. I Ie throws himself in
to the arms of that party which, according
to the best -of his Judgment, is likely to
succeed, and becomes most clamorous for
their most popular measures, right or wrong.
Perhaps he gets into office," and enjoys for
a brief space tlio' power and eniotufnenrlic"
so ardently coveted. But the political
wheel is ever revolving, and will not stop
t the -precise- moment when he is at, the
culminuting point, another aspirant is al
ready training to push him from his seat,
and the Sisypliean task is nil to go - ver
again. . In the mean time, his business,, if
he had any; is gone, the best of his lifo is
pe4t;'and t is more than,' an even chance,

however ardent may be our political attachmnat to

expressing any opinion relative to National affaire,
which would tend in the least to disseminate the
seeds of discord and strife, that are already by
