Our Country.
Ourcountryl—'tisn glorious land     [shore; With broad arms stretched from shore to Tht proud Pacific chnftslier strand, S'ae hears the dark Atlantic roar ; And nurtur'd on her ample breast How many a goodly prospect lies In nature's wildest grandeur dress'd Enamelled wilh her loveliest dyes.
Rich prairies deck'd with flowers of gold, l;ike sun-lit ocean roll afar ; J^i-oad lakes her azure heavens behold, R'flecting clear each trembling star, J And mighty rivers, mountain born ; Go sweeping ORward. dark and deep, 'Phrough forests where the bounding fawn Beneath their sheltering branches leap.
And cradled 'mid her clustering hills. Sweet vales in di-eam-like beauty hide. Where love the air with music fills, And calm content and peace abide, Fcr plenty here her fullness pours. In rich prolusio" nVr ti.» i".--' And sent to seiie her generous stores. There prowls no tyrant's hireling band.
Great God! v»e thank thee for this home, This bounteous birthland ot the free ; Where wanderers from afar may come. And breathe the air of liberty! Still may her flowers untrammelled spring, Her harvest wave, her cities rise ; And yet till Time shall fold his wing, Remain earth's loveliest paradise!
'Tis said tliat Absence Con« qucrs liovc.
Tis said that absence conquers love!
But, O! believe it not; I've tried, alas! its power to prove.
But thou art not forgot. Lady, thoughtfate has bid us part,
Yet still thou art as dear. As fixed in this devoted heart
As When I clasped thee here.
1 plunge into the busy crowd.
And smile to hear thy name j And yet, as if I thought aloud.
They know me still the same. And when the wine-cup passes round;
1 toast snme other fair— But when I ask my heart the sound.
Thy name is echoed there.
And vrhen some other name I learn,
And try to whisper love, Slill will my heart to thee return,
Like the returning dove. Invaln! I never can forget,
And would not be forgot; For 1 must bear the same regret.
What e'er may be my lot.
E'en as the wounded bird will seek
Its favorite bower todie. So, lady, 1 would hear thee apeak,
And yield my parting sigh. 'Tis said that absence conquers love!
But. O! believe it not; I've tried, alas! its power to prove. But thou art not forgot.
A. Lcscnd of Life and Love.
A very cheerless and fallacious doc¬ trine is that which teaches to deny the yielding tn natures feelings, righteously directed, because the consequences may be trouble and grief, as well as satisfac¬ tion anil pleasure. 'Phe man who lives on from year to year, jealous of ever placing himself in a situation where the chances can possibly turn against him— ice, .as il were, surrounding his heart, and his miml too scrupulously weighing in a balance the result of giving away to any .of those propensities his Creator has plan¬ ted in his heart—may be a philosopher, can never be a happy man.
Upon the banks of a pleasant river stood a cottage, the residence of an an¬ cient man whose limbs were feeble with the weight of years and of fnrmer sorrow. In Ins appetites easily gratified, like the simple race of people among whom he lived, every want ol existence was sup¬ plied by a few fertile acres. 'Phese acres were tilled and tended by two brothers, grandsons of the old man, and dwellers also in the cottage. 'Phe parents of the buys lay buried near by.
Nathan, the elder, had hardly seen his twentieth summer. He was a beautilul youth, glossy hair clustered upon his head, and his cheeks were very brown from sun¬ shine and open air. 'Pho'jgli the eyes ol Nathan were soft and liquid, like a girl's, and his cheeks curled with a voluptuous swell, exercise and labor had developed his limbs irto noble and manly propor¬ tions. 'Phe bauds of hunters as tliey met sometimes to start oil together al'te'r the game upon the neighboring hills, could hardly shuw one among their numbers who in comeliness, strength, nr activity, might compete with the youlliful Nathan. Mark was but a year younger than his brother.    He, too, had great beauty.
In course of time the ancient sickened anil knew he was to die. Helure the ap¬ proach of the fatal hour, he called belure him the two youths and addressed lliem thus:

"And as the things of life nre only shadows, passing like the darkness of a cloud, twitie III' bands oflove ubout vour hearts. For love is the ficklest (>f the thin>'s oflife. 'Phe object of our all'oction diesf and wc thencelorlh languish in agony; Ol' perhaps the love we covet dies, and that is more painful yet.
" It will never do to confide inany man. It is well to keep aloof Irom follies and iniquities of earlh. Let Ihere be no links between you and others. Let not any being control you through your depen¬ dence upun him for a purtiun ot your hap¬ piness. I'liis, my sons. I have learned by bitter experience, is the teachings ol truth ¦¦

Mark sighed and answered not. ¦l'h(!n, in  a little while, they made in¬ quiries about  what  had   befallen either during the time past.    Seated upon   the marble by  whicii  they  had met,  Maik briefly told his story.
" I bethink me. brother, many, many years have indeed passed over since our graiidsire. dying, left us to seek our for¬ tunes amid a wicked and seductive world. " Ilis last word, as thou doubtless dost remember, advised us against the snares that shuuld beset our subsequent journeys. lie portrayed the dangers which lie in the path  of   love;   he  impressed   upon  our minds the folly ot  placing confidence in liuman honor; and warned us lo keep aloof Irom tou close communion with nur kind. He then died, but his instructions  live, and have ever been present in my memory. " Dear Nathan, why should  I conceal Irom you that at that time I loved.    My simple soul, ungifled with the wisdom of our aged relative, had yielded to the deli¬ cious folly, .ind the brown eyed Eva was my young heart's choice.    O brother, even now, tlie feeble and withered thing I am, dim recollectionB, pleasant passages, come forth  around   me.   like  the   joy of old dreams.    A boy again, and in all the con¬ fiding heart of a boy. I walked with Eva by the river's banks.     And  the gentle creature blushes at my  protestations of \u\e and leans her cheek upon niv neck.— ¦fhe regal sun goes down in the ve.t, and ga'/.ing upon the glory of the clouds thatl attend his setting, and while  we look at their fantastic changes,  a  la-'i^h  sounds out, clear like a flute, and  merry as the jingling of silver  bells.    It is the laugh of Kya."
The eye of the old man glistened wilh unwonted lirightness.    He paused, sighed, llie bright'iess laded away, and he went on with his narration.
"As  1  said, the dying lesson of him „1,,,^ .,,«..r.-- .   .......(.'.lUw oui. leei   iheir

As Nathan ceased, his brother looked up. in his lace, like a man unto whom the simple truth had been for the first lime revealed. W.

Responsibilities of American Youth.
The following extract from a discourse on " American Enterprise, or Christianity adap¬ ted to the active powers of American youth,'' by Mr. Albert Barnes, claims their serious consideration :
Rut your country opens a wide field for all that IS active and mighty in the talents of young men. This is the land fur chris¬ tian enterprise. Here mighty dangers are coming in like a flood. Here loreigners of all opinions seek an asylum. Here the nations of the world are already represen¬ ted, in the oppressed ot other people seek¬ ing freedom, or in their outlaws seeking ou our shines an asylum from justice.— Here a vasl continent is to be brought un¬ der the inlluence of christian truth and chrislian freedom. Here the contederate f

deep, low-breathed accents of the father went up in supplication, as if to the very ear of the Elernal: 0! thou who didst weep at the grave of Lazarus, and dost note every pulsation of the human iKarf, look down in thy mercy's sake.'
