'THE SEASONS. The following is descriptive of The Seasons, with their appropriate application to human life : From the Olive Branch. ITow swiftly puss 'our years ! How soon their TuVhtccmes on! A train of hopes and fears, A::d human life is gone ! Sec. the fair summer now is past; The foliage late that clad the tiees, Stript by the equinoctial blast, Fabs like the dew drops on the breezfe. Cold winter hasten on ! Fair nature feels his grasp; Weeps o'er her beauties yone, And sighs thy glory past! So, life, thy summer soon will end, Thine autumn too, will quick decay, And winter come, when thou shaltbend Within the tomb to mould away ! But summer will return, In all her beauties dressed ; Nature shall rejoice again And he by man caressed. 13 ut O, life's summer, passed away, Can in ver, never hope return ; Cold winter comes, with cheerless ray, To beam upon its dreary urn. Then may I daily seek A mansion in the skies, "Where summers never cease And glory never dies ! There an eternal spring shall bloom "With pys as vast as angels' powers; And thrice ten thousand harp in tunc Shall praise the love that made it ours. PLEASURE. Ah, let not Pleasure's witching eyo Beguile thy wandering youth : A thousand wiles around her ily : And thousands more in ambush lie, To draw thy heart from truth. Loose flowing robes her limbs adorn; And smiles her features wear ; But, as the rose conceals the thorn, Full blooming to the blushing morn, &he hides each danger near. And though her paths be strewed with flowers, That meek the rainbow dies ; And mirth resides in all her bowers, While music floats in dulcet powers, Along the trembling skies. Yet, ah ! the smile cf Pleasure's Queen ; Her bow'rs where mirth would reign ; Her dulcet song, her flowery scene, With all her charms that intervene, Are fleeting, false, and vain- Living on S77iall ?neans. A friend ob served the oilier day "I would never en courage stinginess nor littleness. It nar rows and contracts the mind, lint I would encourage every family to live within their means. Nothing gives us, like litis, a feeling of independence. Nothing con tributes more, I am sure, to domestic com fort, peace and happiness." He was richl. lie spake, moreover, from experience. He lives on small means. And yet, nbod thought he was niggardly or miserly. He lives in the heart of a very expensive city, I- . C ' I I uas an expensive lamiiv, is encaceu in an expensive profession, and is compelled toal XVY p!U"7 . ..i .: . . . i . credit to nunctual suumm mi i eiy moner.ue income. let lie is as independent as a lord no man, even in this republican country, i more so. Were there no oilier reason for living on small means than merely lo gain this independence, it were still a duty worth inculcating. O! the evils of being depen dant! who can portray or number them? They are much oftener felt than described. One would almost think that Paid knew something about them, when he counsels his Human converts lo "owe no man an) thing' This beinc; in debt, anil uoi knowing how or wherewith lo pay, how dreadful the sensation! How painful the depeiidance! May he that knows it not, never feel it. It need not be felt, or if at all, but sel doni. There is a way of escaping it. Ii is to live within the means. "I3ut sup pose the means are so very small as lo ren der it impossible to live within them? Il this is really the case, then is your condi lion pitiable. Out, in most instances, where this is thought to be the case, the means are in themselves ample. The grand difficulty is, with many, that they will not live ou small means, even though they know, or at least believe, it would most conduce lo comtort and hap piness. Tt is unfashionable! And who would not prefer lo be out of the world, rather than out of lasluon. Original Anecdote of Matthias. It not generally known, we presume, that this notorious impostor passed, through w Eastern partot this State sometime since While at Newbury', a large number being present, some one in rather a taunting manner asked him to exhibit a miracle Without the least embarrassment, he re rdied, "I have been exhibiting every day for the last ten years, the greatest miracle ever shown to the world: have been tell ing the truth without being mobbed.'1 Burlington Vt.
