POETRY.
THE CHILD AT PRAYER.

Twas summers eve-the rosy light
Had faded from the sky,
And stars came twinkling pure and bright,
Through the blue arch on high;
The western breezcs nly stole,
To kiss the 'leeQ flower,
And nature wore her sweetest smile
To bless the twilight hour.
There sat within curtained room,
A mother young and fair
What voice comes softly through th C gloom !!
'iis childhood's voice in prayer:
A cherub boy is knecling now,
Beside that mothers knee,
She who had taught him when to bow
Before the Deity.
A father on the distant deep,
A sister sumbring near,
A babe upon his mothers breast,
And that kind mother dear;
For every living thing he loves,
Hi prayer ascends to heaven,
And for himselfhe humby asks,
Each sin may be forgiven.
And oft in after years, when grief,
Shall bow his spirit down,
And the world, the cold and bitter world,
Shall meet him with frown;
Or when allured from virtues path,
He trcads n dangerous way,
Oh! he viii turn to this blest hour,
When first he lSnelt to pray.
And the kind hand which then waslaid
Upon his silken hair:
And the soft voice which taught him first
His simple words of prayer;
Willcomc again with thrilling power
To still his pulses wild,
And lure him back in that dark hour,
As sinless as a child,
The prayer is o'er, the last fond kiss
BY that kind mother gwen;
But rises, not from scene hike this,
That childish prayer to heaycnl
1t does, it does, an angels wing,
Has borne its tone with JOY,
And III earnest bessipg Wild = sought
