    LETTERS FROM N E ¥ YORK. BY L. MARIA CHILD, &UIHOR OB’ PHILOTHBA, THE MOTHER’S BOOK, THE GIRL'S BOOK. BLOWERS FOR CHILDREN, 6tC. We receive but what we give, And in our life alone does Nature live: Ours is her wedding-garment, ours her shroud! And would we aught behold of higher worth Than that inanimate cold world, allowed To the poor loveless ever-anxious crowd, Ah, from the soul itself must issue forth A light, a glory, a fair luminous cloud, Enveloping the Earth: And from the soul itself must there be sent A sweet and potent voice of its own birth, Of all sweet sounds the life and element! Coleridge. TENTH EDITION. NEW-YORK: C. S. FRANCIS & CO., 252 BROADWAY. boston: J. H. FRANCIS, 128 WASHINGTON STREET. 1849.
