A small wicket gate opened upon a foot

the door. Just as we approached, We

THE MAIDEN AND THE SILK. WORM

BY MRS. SOPHIA Il. OLIVER.
Down look'd the sun Of summer morn,
From blue aud laughing sky;
The wild ose wound his merry horn,
And the rill came dancing by
With pleasant song, like the first sol words
Of cherub child at play;
While the matin notes Of thousand birds.
S~elfd from each green wood spray.
And the flowers oh there was the wild prim.
rose
And the violet sweet and fair.
And ov'ry radiant bud that blows
In summers balmy air.
Bot sweeter bud aud a loyelier flower
Than all in tina, gay partere
Was she who sang ia her rosy bower
A melody sweet and clear.
While on as she sang her wild, swee, air,
She scattord the fresh green leaves;
For the sik-worm claims the maiden's care,
And for her its cocoon weaves,
Twas beauteous scene--those loving ewes
As she sang in her girlish glee)
Cast up TO the blue and laughing skies,
"Oh my heart, my heart is free :"
AWAY. away with gli,rring Joys.
The pageantry of earth
ny aiar from It's Earring noise
To my beauteous bower Of mirth
The low, soft gush Of the chrystal stream
Is melody sweet to me,
And life, oh life, a bright sweet dream.
For my heart, my heart is free
Thine still be. far Victoria, thine
The crown, the throne of State
A humber, happier lot is mine,
] envy not the great
pluck fresa leaves with willing hand.
Prom the graceful orange tree,
That claimeth its bright and father land
Far DER the deep blue sea.
" And my heart is free as the wild sea.wayes

or the WIND unloos'd from their ocean caves,
Or Columbia's glorious bird.

AGRICULTURAL HYMN.

Great God of Eden twas thy hand
That first clad earth in bloom,
And shed upon the smiling land,
Natures first rich perfume.
Fresh as thy glance the flowers sprang,
Kissed by the suns first rays
While PLAIN and hill. and valley rang
With life, and JOY, and praise.
God Of the clouds thy hands can ope
The fountain of the sky,
And on the expectant, thirsty crop,
Pour down the rich supply.
The farmer. when the seed times DER,
Joys in thy mercies given
Thinks Of thy promised harvost's store,
And smiling, looks TO Heaven.
God of the shoaf TO thee alone
Are due our thanks and praise.
When harvost's grateful labor's done,
On plenty, glad We gaze.
Then shall our thoughts on Heaven rest,
Thy grace we will adore,
And thank that God, whose mercy blest
Our basket and our store.
