Select Poetry.
TO-MORROW., WET to-morrow take care of to-morrow, Leave things of !Ue future to fate; What's the use to anticipate sorrow ? Ufa’s trouble’s come never too late. If to dope overmuoa be an error, ‘Ti* one that the wise have preferred; Ami how often have hearts bsju in terror Of evils —that never occurred! Have faith, and thy faith shall sustain thee— Penult not suspicion and care With invisible bonds to enchain thee. But bear what Goo (fives thee to bear; By His Spirit supported and gladdened, Be ne’er by “forebodings” deterred; But think how oft hearts have been saddened By fear of—what never occurred I let to-morrow take care of to-morrow; Short-and dark as our life may appear. We may make it still darker by sorrow— Still shorter by folly and fear! Half our troubles are half our invention. And often from blessings conferred Have we shrunk in the wild apprehension Of evils—that never occurred! C. SWAIN,
