Kind Words.
By MISS ALICE CARY.

What a world of deep sweetness
There is in the tone
That comes to US kindly
When weary and lone
Enwnnthed with the laurel,
Whnt rest could we find,
II love never cheered us
With words that are kind
The floating of music
When morning is bright,
May fall on the spirit
Like droppi g o.. light
For o, they are pleasant,
The songs of the BIRDS,
But never, no, never,
So sweet as kind words
Ive sat in the shadow
OF ,wilight's soft wing,
And dreamed about angels,
And songs that they sing
They're lovely such visions
By fancy combined,
But o. how much sweeter
Are words that are kind
O thou who art favored
With fortune and friends,
In whose cup Of gladness
No bitter drop blends.
Wherever the tempter
Is spreading his snare,
Remember, ! charge thee,
Thy brother is there
And though all degraded,
Aud sinful and blind.
Thou yet may redeem him
With words that are kind

Song.

There is an Isle, bonny Isle,
Starts proudly from the sea,
And dearer far than all the world
Is that sweet Isle to me;
1t is not that i, stands alone,
Where all around is fresh and fair,
But because it is my native land
My home, my home, is there!
Farewell though other climes may greet
My eyes where'er they look,
shall not find spot SO sweet
As my own dear cottage nook;
1t is not that its hills are green
1t is not that its meads are fair;
But because il is my native land
My home, my HOME, is there !" FL. BR
