And every thing in nature smiled.

Two children who had hithcr stravcd
Just at an aged birch trees foot.
little boy and girl rcclined,
His hand in hers she kindly put,
And then saw the boy was blind.
The children knew not vas near:
"A tree concealed me from their yicw
But all they said well could hear.
Aud could see all they might do
Dear Mary" said the poor blind boy,
THAT little bird sings very long;
Say, do you see him in his Joy,
And is HE pretty as his song?"

The poor boy sighed, and gently said,
Sister, wish that could see.''
THE flowers you say arc very fair,
And bright green leaves are the trees,
And pretty birds are singing there
How beautiful for one who secs ~
"Yct the fragrant flower can smell,
And can feel the green leafs shade,
And can hear the notes that swell
From these dear birds that God has made,
$50, sister, God to me is kind
Though sight, alas He has not given;
But tell me there any BLIND
Among tlc children up in Hcavcn?''
''No, dearest Edward there, all see,
But why ask me thiiig odd ?''
ooh, Mary He's so good to me,
thought I'D like to look a, Cod
Ere long, disease his hand had laid,
On that dear boy, meek a,d mild,
Ills widowed mother wcpt and prayed
That God would spare her sigLtlcss child
He felt her warm tears on his face,
And said, sob, never weep for me:
I'm going to bright, bright place,
Where, Mary says, God shall see.
"And you'll come there-dear Mary too;
But mother, when you get up there,
Tell Edward, mother, that tits YOU,
You knew never you here

Until the final blow given,
When God took up hat poor blind child
And opened firsthis eyes in Heaven.
