Bliss ! is it there thou art 1 Oh, no! not there. It would' be happiness Almost like heaven's, if it might always be Those brows without one shading of distress, And wanting nothing but eternity; But they are things of earth, and pass away They must, they must decay ! Those voices must grow tremulous with years ; Tho.e smiling brows must wear a tinge of gloom ; Those sparkling eyes be quenched in bitter tears, And, at the last close darkly in the tomb ; If happiness depend on them alone, How quickly is it gone 1 When are we happiest, then 1 O, when resigned To whatsoe'er our cup of life may bring ; When we can know ourselves but weak and blind, Creatures of earth; and trust alone in Him Whogivelh, in his mercy, joy or pain; Oh 1 we are happiest then. A Turn 011 the Ice. The following capital scene is extracted from the February number of that admi rable periodical, the Pickwick papers : Now,' said Wardle, after a substantial lunch, with the agreeable items of strong beer and cherry brandy, had been done justice to; ' what say you to an hour on the ice? We shall have plenty of time.' ' 4 Capital,' said Mr. Benjamin Allen. . ' Prime,' ejaculated Bob Sawyer. ' You skate, of course. Winkle?' said Wardle.' Ye yes ; oh, yes ;' replied AVinkle. I I am rather out of practice.' Oh, do slcate, Mr. Winkle,' said Ara bella. 4 I like to see it so much.' Oh, it is so graceful,' said another young lady. A third-young lady said it was elegant, and a fourth expressed her opinion that it was 'swan-like.' I should be very happy, I'm sure,' said Mr. Winkle, reddening, but I have no skates.' This objection was at onco over. Trundle had got a couple of pair, and the fat boy announced that there were half a dozen more down stairs, whereat Mr. Winkle exprtl.ed exquisite delight, and looked exquisitely uncomfortable.

Mr. Tupman. and the adies; which reached a pitch of positive enthusiasm, when nlcl Wardli? and Ren. jamin Allen, assisted by the aforesaid 60b Sawyer, performed some mystic evolu- tions. which tnev called a reel. All this time Mr. Winkle, with his face and hands blue with cold, had been for- cingagimblet into the soles of his feet, and putting skates on, with the poinu be hind, and .getting the strapa into a verv complicate and entangled stale, with th'e assistance of Mr. So od grass, Trbo knew rather less about akatea than a Hindoo. w uu w woe, ana At length, however, with the OEsistance ccafioMllr:giui?.mlww!.ptr -of Mr Weller. the unfortunate akatea an . knock upon it, with the ether; .

With an ac curacy which no degree of dexterity or practice could have insured, that unfortu nate gentleman bore swiftly down to the ce .tre of the reel, at the very moment when Bob Sawyer was performing a flourish of unparalleled beauty. Mr. Winkle struck wildly against him. and with a loud crash they both fell heavily down. Mr. Pickwick ran to the spot. Bob Sawyer had risen to hi feet, but Mr Winkle was far too wise to do anything of the. kind in skates. .He was seated oo the ice, making spasmodic efforts to smile; but anguish was derided on tvrv li'n. ment 0 his countenance. jK Are you hurt?' enquireoSlr.
