LIFE'S SUNNY SPOTS.

BY WILLIAM LEGGETT.

Though life's a dark and thorny path,
Its goal the silent tomb,
It yet some spots of sunshine hath,
That smile amid the gloom.

The Friend, who weal and woe partakes,
Unchanged, whate'er his lot,

Who kindly soothes the heart that aches,
Is sure a sunny spot.

The Wife who half our burden bears,

And utters not a moan;
Whose ready hand wipes off our tears,
Unheeded all her own;

Who treasures every kindly word,
Each harsher one forgot,

And carols blithely as a bird

She's too, a sunny spot.

The Child who lifts, at morn or eve,
Thankful its tiny voice;

Who grieves whene'er its parents grieve,
And joys when they rejoice;
In whose bright eye young Genius glows,
Whose heart without a blot,

Is fresh and pure as Summer's rose-
That child's a sunny spot.
There's yet upon life's weary road
One spot of brighter glow,
Where sorrow hath forgot its load,
And tears no longer flow;
Friendship may wither-love decline,
Our child his honour blot;

But still undimmed that spot will shine-
RELIGION lights that spot.

This information will doubtless be gratifying
to those Friends who have known that the in-

ed to persecution under the laws of that coun-

Friends in England have, from time to time, extended some care toward them, and recently interfered for their relief through the British ambassador. This relief will probably result from the passage of the present act of toleration, and will be equally shared by other conscientious dissenters from the established national religion.

The writer anticipates from the success of this attempt no great injury to England, inasmuch as the woollen trade with Turkey is now two-thirds in the hands of other nations; manufactured silks almost entirely so; and as to cotton, Manchester will discover that she can have but a weak competitor in her new rival; one whose success must, at best, be confined to a limited and inferior market.

Though faint, she steadily pursued her various duties until within three days of the solemn change. In the midst of usefulness, she was released from the labour, the trials, and the conflicts of mortality, and gathered, we humbly believe, into one of those glorious and perpetually-abiding habitations, which our blessed Redeemer went before to prepare, where they hunger no more, neither thirst any more, but the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne feedeth them, and leadeth them to

living fountains of water, and God himself hath wiped away all tears from their eyes.

-, on the 15th of the Ninth month last, in the sixty-seventh year of his age, JOHN BATEMAN, of Springboro', Warren county, Ohio. He was an exemplary member of the Society of Friends; and as a faithful elder in the church, it may be truly said he was worthy of double honour. An affectionate husband and a tender parent, his loss will be deeply felt by his afflicted family. Just and upright in his dealings among men, he was universally beloved by all who knew him. In his death the Society of Friends has lost a useful member, and the poor and the afflicted a sympathizing friend.
