THE RAINBOW.

Sweet Mercy's symbol! oft love to gaze
On thee with mingled wonder and delight,
While pensye fancy wings her rapid flight,
To other regions and far distant days;
When first the aged Patriarch's dazzied sight
Was fixed with rapture on thy arch sublime,
AS from this realms of uncTeated light
a voice proclaimed, that % the end of Time
Ihou beautcous Bow, monument shall prove
VI pardoning mercy and unchanging love.
Ages have rolled away-Timc's mighty tide
tinS swept OF countless myriads the tomb;
Ok has fair Nature pcrsh'd. and her bloom,
Resumed with new-bcln strength, and verual pride
All on this globe has changed passed away
Cities and Empires vanished from the Earth;

Ama such fair type oi Mercy, slIi, thou be,

RUSTIC SKETCH.

fWntfsn during time Of ertreme drought in
May.
Con of that sun which rolls on high,
Like fiery star in brazen sky,
Our pastures burn with an arid sun,
For half his course in the sky is run;
Our corn is sear'd in the parching field,
Thy clouds are withheld, and thy " fountains
seal'd."
Where are thy floating cisterns fed,
Those showers that rose with slvery head
From Thee alone is our help or stay,
From Thee alone must the boon be given,
Or our thirsty soil in burning May,
oh send the showers Of bounteous hea-
ven.
Alas no songs Of the vernal choir
Can sprout our corn in the sands of fire;
The tuneful thrush from our land must HE,
Or chaunt his lay and no ploughman nigh;
The creaking mite in his house of sand,
Nor the basking snake can his heat with
stand -
The wakeup'st song in the sun-bright bower,
Is heard no mere-nor the night-birds lay
They wait tor the cloud and the evening
shower,
And the croaking toad in the twilight grey.
OH for cloud from Huron lake,
Where the limpid curls Of the light waves
break;
Where the grey ducks plumes in the moon.
beams play,
And the wildwood song 10 the mock birds
lay;
Where the darkening fir, and the oak Of
green,
And the stately swans and the duckling's
There, rising showers from the mountains
height
Descend by day, and the dews by night;
For our sires have driven the fair red maids
From their peaceful homes-and they've
calPd the showers,
BY their magic spells, to the western glsdes,
And left all scar in their ancient bowers.
East Hartford, 1926.
'The thrush, robin, and purwink, invaria.
bly, make their appearance the first of May,
and it is vulgar idea, that their songs have a
tendency to sprout the corn-this being the
farmers planting time.
