man taking his seat costly in the rocking
chair, as the tea things were removed
The fire glowed in the CRATE, revealing a
pretty and neatly furnished setting room,
with all the appliances of comfort. The
fatiguing business Of the day was over,
and he sat enjoying, what he had all day
been anticipating, the delights Of his own
fireside. His pretty wife, Esther, took her
work and sat down by his side at the table.

own" he said again, taking satisfactory
survey of his snug little quarters. The
cold rain beat against the windows, and
he thought he felt grateful for his present
comforts.

He giveth his beloved sleeps"
' That most mysterious thing,
That to the worn and weary heart
Forgetfulness can bring;--
That cometh to the mourning one
By many griefs oppressedx
And speaketh in lis dreamy voice,
Of Heaven, and hope, and rest.
1t visiteth the desolate
Who have no friend beside,
And bringeth peace to saddened souls
Whose hope, deferred, had died
II layeth its caressing hand
Upon the brow of care,
And calleth to the faded lips
The smile they used TO wear.
"He giveth his beloved sleep,''
All thanks for such boon,
And thanks, too, for the deeper sleep
That will be with us soon:
From which our long o'erladen hearts
Shall wake 10 pain no more,
But find fulfilled the fairest thoughts
They only dreamed before.
