She stood up in the Weakness Of heart
Resting on God, and, held her fair young child
Upon her bosom, with lie gentle eyes
Folded in sleep, &c If its soul had gone
To whisper the baptismal vow in heaven.
The prayer went up devoutly, and the lips
OF the good man giowed ferventlg with faith
That il would be, even &c he had pray'd.
And the sweet child be gathered to the fold
OF Jesus. As the holy words went on,
Her lips mov'd silently, and tears, fast tears,
Stole from beneath her lashes, and upon
The forehead Of the beautiful child lay soft
With the baptisma water. Then thought
That, to the eye of God, that mothers tears
Would be deeper eovenant-with sin,
And the temptations of The world, and death,
Would leave unbroken-and then she would know
In the clear light Of heaven, how very strong
The prayer which pressed them from her hear
had been
In leading it's young spirit to God.

we have in this country. Elder Swan. fhe

delivered by an eccentric preacher in Oxfcrd:
