Philanthropy.--He is the wisest philanthropist who employs his energies
and resources in the promotion of virtue.

Preparation For Death.--He who is prepared to live, is prepared to die.

TO ALBERTA.


And thou art gone, Alberta,
No sound shall wake thee now;
The dreamless sleep thou sleepest,
Death's shadow on thy brow.

Like a bright summer flower.
Borne by rude winds away,
Whose odors yet shall linger,
Though the fair form decay,--

So, long thy spirit, wafted
In fragrance back to earth,
Shall bloom in memory's bowers,
Mid plants of heavenly birth.

We tune our harps to sadness,
