united and stroug testimony TO his pru

THE ANGELS WING.

There is Gernau tradition that when
sudd, silence takes place in company,
an angel a, that moment makes circuit
among them. and the first person "ho
breaks The silence is supposed to have been
touched by The wing of the passing seraph.
Aud why should wisdom smile al this :!
Are not lhuse perfect beings nigh.
To witness and 10 share our bliss.
To hear aud hush The secret sigh!
Yes, they may Heavens soiace hring,
Then scoru not thou, the Angels Wing!
Thou who alone, thyself dost deem,
A solitary in thy grief
List! soft as football of dream,
Comes one to bear the sweet relief,
Aud fled is all thy boarded care,
The passing Seraph's Wing is there!
Thou, who. forgiven, dost possess
The penilent's intense delight,
When the dark-cloud of quilts distress
Reveals to thee its edge of light
Think! as unhallowed Iempests fly,
Thy soul is touched, the Wing is nigh!
And rhon. Of coutempla'ive mood
Who dos, at eve in wild woods stray,
Where nough of This world may inturde,
Where fancy might in others play,
And nearest The voice which zephyr filings,
No! It's the rush of Angel Wings.
Oh, have paused space, a. 'twefe;
Bewilderine thoughts to gather up,--
To put aside The draught Of care
And.tasre of nind'S exalted cup;
Nor knew wha, DER my soul could bring
Such calmness was the Seraph's Wing.
When hrooding tempters cause me shame
And in its company of sin
Nv spirit siate--the Angel rame,
And swept with wings the heart within.
A moment made its circuit there,
And broke my silence into prayer.
knet beside my precious boy,-
Who wen, at childhood's fairy time,
My hope. my life my heing's joy
From this TO Loves unclouded cline;
And while around wep, pilyine men,
| joyed-,he Angel touched me then!
And oh, when at my own last hour
The world rccrdes and nllies nv,
Th:t near me with supporting power
Might plume some herald of the sky
And while Of victory sing,
Bear NE away on upward Wing! It.
