RESIGNATION.
The rose has its thomsj and tha vi'iet though fair,
From its sweet purple leaves dsadly poison supplies,
And when bright is the sky, soft and gentle the air,
How oft, unexpected a storm will arise!
Yet who would through fear, pass unnoticed the rose,
Or shun the perfume of the vi'lst's sweet breath!
'hit* the wild zephyr blows,
Or shrink from the air,
Lest a cloud yet unseen, scattrr tempest and death!
,vhen *tis gathered with care,
beeti known the possessor to wound;
And the Peata it scarce shudders the tempest to bear*
Remem'brinr; the verdure it peurs on the ground,
The poison conceal'd in the sweet ?i'leta leaJfes
Lies harm ess nil forced into action by art»
The thorn of the

Bloom on lovely rose.- modest violet bloom,

And scatter thy w.dieting limbs on the plain.
But thy thorn is forgot while \vê id ik on thy sweets*

Oh! grant mr prayer, and et fht go,
Thy toil to share, thy path to smooth —
Is there a want, a wish, a v.*o r
Which wedded love can fail to sOÄhe?
At morn, when sleep still seals thine eyes,
My hand thy temp'rate meal shall »prta.li
At night my smiles shall check thy sighs,

THE PILLOW.
What a delicious balm is diffused
over 'he whole frame when the candle
is exiinguished and the head on the
p litnv ! If, on a strict scrutiny of
the soul we cannot discover any thing
which could offend our fellow creat
ures, then deep is almost a celeslriai
reverie.
It is never so delicious or so Iran
nuil, as after a davon which we have
.performed some good act, or when
we are conscious of having spent it
in some useful or substantial employ
mem.
The instant the head is laid on the
pillow, is that in which conscience
delivers its decrees. If it has conceiv
ed any evil design, it is surround', d
with thorns; the softest down is hard
under the restless head of the wicked.
In aider to be happy, a man must
be on good terms with his pillow :
for the nightly approaches it can make
mu .-a be heard.
Wt. must be happy or miserable at
nr oy recollection. Memory re.
Cabs mi faults and negligences, and
thm must put us in a method to avoid
for they will not löse sight of
u ; 'hey will banish sleep, from our
y will intrude in our dreams,
tin • w ill fatigut u,, in order to teach
that there is neither repose nor
baptnness but r „p.möny of an up
right ccnduc '1 , and in the exercise
of charity.
Happy is the man who can say,
when he lies down—No man can re
proach me with his misfortune, nr his
captivity ; 1 have not injured the rep
utation of any one; I have paid due
n spect to the prope. ty of others, and
certain pledge of the repose of fami
lies ; and the labourer's hire has nev
c remained <n my hands at sun-set
ting, according to the expiession oi
bcriptu.c
'5 hose testimonies of conscience,
those internal enjoyments of soul, give
a delicious renose, and still more de
licioit a a Icing.
