pine, Young day? Or, to the thrush's full, rich song That gushes from her breast, And hushes all wild Passion's throng To rest? Could I compare the sight of her, To glorious angel spring-- To whose sweet breath--all lands--seas--stir, And sing. Oh fair Harmonia! God is love, Who gave thee to our earth, To renovate and lift above Our birth. Harmonia dwelt within a vale Of wildest loveliness, Where sweetest odors fill'd the gale To bless. And so they called it "vale of Spring," This dear Harmonia's home; Where Beauty shed, with spendthrift wing, Her bloom.

Sweet Eva lives to do but good, In all her gentle life: With her good fame, the neighborhood, Is rife. Angels of good, they shed abroad The spirit of the dove; For He who gave them, is a God Of love. Angels of light--they make a heaven Of such a world as this-- They make the rugged pathway even, To Bliss. Angels of Earth--but we shall see These angels yet again; Where angels, robed in purity, E'er reign. AUSTRALIA; OR, THE NEW GOLDEN AGE. In ancient days, in old, immortal Rome, Where virtues, surnamed Roman, had their home; When Virtue triumphed over Vice, and threw Across their annals, a more lovely h
