POETRY.

So calm, so cold, so beautiful, -
So purely fair art thou,

No trace of suffering 's on thy cheek,
Or on thy placid brow.

The quiet of that heavenly face,
Illumined by a smile,

Speaks not of earthly grief or pain,
Of sorrow or of guile,

But seems a sign of that sweet rest,
The ransomed spirit knows,

When cleansed from earthly taint it joys, | was glad to serve Mrs, Wilmot, and_ will-
In undisturbed repose.

And though the grave now calls for thee, | of the young man’s position brought him
With an imperious voice,
And though to dust this form must turn, les, who found better qualities in him than} but Irejected both him and his iniquity.
Shoyld not our hearts rejoice ? {

Rejoice to know thy spirit, freed
From sorrow's wasting chain,

Has winged its flight to that bless'd land,
No more to suffer pain.

Select Miterature.
