All that's bright must fade.
All that's. bright must fade, —

The brightest still the fleetest;
All that's sweet was made

But to be lost when sweetest.

Farewell! But whenever you welcome the hour. You may break, you may shatter the vase, if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.

Ballad Stanzas.
I knew by the smoke that so gracefully curled

Above the green elms, that a cottage was near,
And I said " if there is peace to be found in the world,

"A heart that was humble might hope for it here."

The Blue Stocking.
To sigh, yet feel no pain,

To weep, yet scarce know why;
To sport an hour with Beauty's chain,

Then throw it idly by.

This World is all a fleeting Show.
This world is all a fleeting show,

For man's illusion given;
The smiles of Joy, the tears of Woe,

Deceitful shine, deceitful flow —
There 's nothing true but Heaven.

Oft in the Stilly Night.
Oft in the stilly night

E'er slumber's chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light

Of other days around me.

No hammers fell, no ponderous axes rung ; *
Like some tall palm, the mystic fabric sprung.
Majestic silence!

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning!
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid.

No. ii.
By cool Siloam's shady rill
How sweet the lily grows

* Altered in later editions to

No workman steel, no ponderous axes rung,
Like some tall palm the noiseless fabric sprung.

No sound of hammer or of saw was there.

The Winter Morning Walk, B. V. Cowpee

Seventh Sunday after Trinity. When spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing soil.

At a Funeral.
Death rides on every passing breeze,
He lurks in every flower.

No. ii.
Thou art gone to the grave! but we will not deplore thee,
Though sorrows and darkness encompass the tomb.

On heavenly hope and earthly hope.
Thus heavenly hope is all serene,

But earthly hope, how bright soe'er,
Still fluctuates o'er this changing scene

As false and fleeting as 'tis fair.

Missionary Hymn.
From Greenland's icy mountains,

From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains

Roll down their golden sand.

JONATHAN M. SEWALL.

Epilogue to Gato.

No pent up Utica contracts your powers,
But the whole boundless continent is yours.

The moss-covered bucket, which hung in the well.

Frowns o'er the wide and winding Rhine.
