2 Healthful and gay, like you I spent my moments,
Fondly my heart said, joy shall last for ever,
But I'd forgotten man has no enjoyments,
But by permission.

3 Sudden and awful from the height of pleasure,
By pain and sickness thrown upon a deathbed,
Vain is its softness, vain is all my bitter,
Death-bed repentance.

4 Vain are my groanings, all complaints are fruitless,
Changing my place does not abate my fever;
Here like a reptile, on a bed of embers,
Tortured I languish.

5 Twenty-five years I've spent without considering
Man was a mortal, dependent on a moment;
Life but a stradow, time a flying arrow,

Quick to dispel it.

6 Oft have I listened while death-bells were tolling, Seen the graves open, with spectators mourning,

on abot 200 1991

But for myself was, spite of all these warnings,
Long life expecting,

7 Counsels I've slighted, warnings I've rejected,
In my gay moments thoughts of death I've banished,
When grown gray-headed, I have oft resolved,
Death to prepare for.

8 Time in advance to me seemed moving slowly,
Days without numbering I proposed for pleasure
But they are blasted! Now behold the end of
Procrastination!

9 Tortured in body, not a limb escapes it,
No sweet composure to direct one prayer,
All is disorder! yet my state eternal

Now is depending.

2 "Tis Anniversary day,

Oh, how happy we shall be,
All nature looks so gay,

And we feel so glad and free;
We meet our teachers dear,

And the friends we love so well, Our schoolmates too are here, We're so happy none can tell. CHO. Happy little, &c.

1 We love the shining stars,
As they twinkle up above,
So beautiful and bright,

Like sweet eyes so full of love,
They almost seem, to say,

With their soft and beaming fire,
"We're very near to heaven;
Little children, come up higher!"
CHо. Twinkle little star so bright
Up above, up above,

CHO.-Happy little, &c.

(INFANT HYMN.) By Mrs. M. A. KIDDES. Twinkle all the silent night, For 'tis God keeps you shining!

2 When our dear Lord was born,
In the east arose a star,
The shepherds saw the light
And followed it afar

It led them to the babe,
Who within the manger lay,
A weak and helpless child,-
But the King of kings to day,
CHO, Twinkle, &c.
