TRUST IN HEAVEN.
BY MARY ANN BROWN.

BY MARY ANN BROWNs
Trust in heaven when over thy path
Clouds and tempests come in wrath !;
When thy grief oppresseth thee,
When obscured thy prospects be,
When around thee mists are driven,
Heed them not, but trust in heaven
Trust in heaven when morning lifts
Up her head and casts her gifts;
Light and dew, upon the earth.
When she brings the blossoms forth,
Till shall shine the stars of even,
For safeguard trust in heaven!
Trust in heaven! when there afar
Burneth many radiant star;
Canst thou doubt, when thus their light
Cleans unshadowed through the night,
That protection may be given
To thy pillow?-trust in heavens
Trust i'll heaven when one by one
The sweet waves ofhope glide on,
Leaving thee wreck at last,
On the shore whence they have passed
Though thy heart is wrung and rsen,
Still forever trust in heaven!
Trust in heavens when from its way
Those thou lowest go astray,
Strive, still strive to win them back,
To its straight but thorness track
And that truth may soon be given
To their spirits-trust in heaven!
Trust in heaven! it shall not fail,
When the darkest grief prevails ;
And when death at length shall come,
When around thee spreads his gloom,
Pray that thou may'st be forgiven,
Place thy dearest hopes in heaven
Do not aspire to things that are be-
yond your reach. but be satisfied with
the present good which you enjoy.

the head Of its owner against every
