Here are beautiful sentences from the
pen Of CoIeridge. Nothing can be more
eloquent nothing more true:
"CaI NOT that man wretched, who,
whatever else he suffers as to pain in
nrcted, or pleasure denied, has child for
whom he hopes, and On whom he doats.
Poverty may grind him to the dust, ob
security may cast its darkest mantle over
him; his voice may be UNDECIDED by those
among whom he dweIls, and his face may
be unknown TO his neighbors; even pain
may rack his joints, and sleep flee from
his plIlow-but he has gem with which
he would not part for wealth delyIng
computation, for fame filling worlds
ear, for the sweetest sleep hat ever fell

|" The Waif, objection of POEMS"
A Chris tmas Hymn.
1t was the calm and silent night
Seven hundred years and fifty-three
Had Rome been growing up to might,
And now was queen of land and sea
No sound was heard of clashing wars
Peace brooded DER the hushod domain;
Apollo Pallas, Jove and Mars,
Held undisturbed their ancient reign,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
Twas in the calm and silent night!
The Senator of naughty Rome
Impatient urged his chariot's fight,
From lordy revel rolling home
Triumphal arches, cleaning, swell
His breast with thoughts of boundless sway
What rocked the Roman what belell
A paltry province FAR away,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
Within that province far away
Went Flooding home weary boor;
A streak of light before him lay,
Fallen through a half-shut sta bic door
Across his path. He paused, for naught
Told what was going on within
How keen the stars his only thought
The air how calm, and cold, and thin,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
Oh, strange indifference low and high
Drowsed oeI common joys and cares;
The earth was still, but knew not why;
The world was listenng-unawaros
How calm moment may precede
One that shall thrill the world forever
To that still moment none would heed
Mans doom was linked no more to sever,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
1t is the calm and solemn night
a thousand bells ring out, and throw
Their joyous peas abroad, and smitc
The darkness-charmed and holy now
The night that erst no shame had worn,
To it happy name gwen;
For in that stable lay, new born,
The peaceful Prince of earth and Heaven,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago!
