SACREDNESS OF TEARS.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are no
the mark OF weakness, but of power. They speal
more eloqucntly than ten thousand tongues. They
are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deeI
contrtion and unspeakable love.

ty by rude laughter, or intrusive footsteps. Scot
not IT the stern heart of manhood is sometimes
melted to tears of sympathy-they are what help

POETRY
0! STEAL NOT THOU MY FAITH AWAY.

BY REV. }. c.. LYONS, L. l.. d.
Oh steal not thou my faith away,
Nor tempt to doubt a lowly mind;
Make all that earth can yield thy prey,
But leave this heavenly gift behind !;
Our hope is but the scaboy's dream,
When loud winds rise in wrath and gloom:
Our life, faint and fitful beam,
That lights us to the cold dark tomb.
Yet since, as one from Heaven hath said,
There lies beyond that drcary bourn,
A region where the faithful dead
EternalIy forget to mourn,
Welcome the scott, the sword, the chain,
The burning waste, the black abyss
shrink not from the path of pain,
Which leads me to that world Of bliss.
Then hush, thou troubled heart be still;
Renouncc thy vain philosophy =
Seek thou to work thy Makers will,
And light from Heaven shall break on thee.
Twill glad thee in the weary strife,
Where strong men sink with failing breath;
Twill cheer thee in the noon of life,
And bless thee in the night of death.
