Ambition kindles up her livi
There is a path of life marked out for the,
A thornless path, and there thy way shall be:
A thousand spirits by thy sido shell fal Uy
But thou shalt live, and look beyond them all;
Yee, Life indoed may soem a joyous thing.

“ What isthe gift of Life?”
“Who has no fountain to supply the waste ; *
: Whose spirit, like some traveller gazing round
On broken columns in the desert ground,
Sees but aad traces on a lonely scene
Of what Life was, and what it might have been;
Ont ! is not Life a sad and solemn thing?
To him who reads w:
“ What is the gift of Lifo ? ”
?Tis the first dawning of cternity ;
The
future Heaven just breaking on the sight ;
- “Tho glimmering of a. still increasing light ;
Hts cheeting seems foretastes of heav’aly joy,
Its storms and. tempests sent to purify:
Oh! is not Jife a bright inspiring thing?
“ What is the gift of life?”
‘To him whose soul this tempestuous
road
Hath past, a and found its Throne, its vlelgeey its Goa? ?
And years as boundless, rolling o’er his head; ;
No cloud to dark
en the celestial light;
Nosin to sully, and no eet to blight;
. Js not that better Life a glorious thing?

n twilight wraps the vale,
Hatldly breathes the ‘inking gale,
Hushed is every note of gladness,
Looks of joy-are turned to sadness,
re pauses, silent, still,
Conscious of impending ill!
Lo! the lightning’s vivid blaze oo
-Flashes through the gloomy haze,
Hark! o’er yonder mountain’s brow
Thunders roll on thunders now.
Now thuir echoes ring afar
‘Like tho wind-borne shouts of war;
Fainter now and fainter sighing,
Like the moans of legions dying ;.
. Now at length the murmur fails,
Lost among the distant dales,
‘Hide! for now ‘csconds tho storey
Dusky as alocust swarm, .
Looking in its awful 1 stato
Like. tho veil that curtains fate.

Now it moves, it sails, it sweeps
Downward from the giant steeps}
Surely in this dreadful hour
Demons lend the tempest power !
As they urge the furious breeze
Harvosts ebb and flow like seas ;
are vineyards whi in air;
Foreats lie uprooted ther
Here are barks and billows dashing,
