THE MEMORY OF THE HEART.
If stores of dry and loarned lore we gain,
We keep them in the viemory of the brain ;
Names, things, and facts — whatever we
knowledge call,
There is the common ledger for them all ;
And images on this cold surface traced
Make slight impressions, and are soon effaced.
But we’ve a page more glowing and more
bright,
On which our friendship and our love to write;
That these may never from thé soul depart,
Je trust them to the MEMORY OF THE HEART.

‘of their faces and forms.

. The Seasons of Life.
Life is like the passing year—
Budding hopes with Spring appear;
Urging on the sultry hours
Summer-noon brings wealth of flowers,
Autumn’s afternoon is rife
With the golden grain of life;
. Frosty age in twilight dim
Trembling hears the vesper hymn—
Ere the bell has ceased to toll
Heaven will claim another soul!
Hope and life have passed away,
Winter—death, secures his prey.
