From The ". Y. Messenger,
The CiiId'S Thoughts.

/ Were the son,-What then, my child b,
Were YOU the sun, what then
| would not shine so warm and mild,
Upon such wicked n.en!
I'd wither up their budding grain
When just il leaves the earth.
Aud they should SOW their seed in vain,
For never, never would deign
To warm : inc bsrth.
But on the harvest Of the coed,
Ia send bo,1 hea. and dew,
TiIevery young AID allow bud
To golden lrnjtase grew.
The flowers should spring around his door,
Beneath MY mellow rays.
And if he Ner, snis.d and poor,
Id ill with richest fnrt his store.
And bless hln all his days.
Were the rain.-What then my child
Were you the rain, W hat then 2
Id never fall so warm and mild,
UnOn such wicked men
I'd flood their fields till not root
Could fiud spot to cling
And every Young and tender shoot
Should feat before the careless foot.
y dreHched and worthless thing
: Dear chile not SO doth God bcstow.
His blessings on mankind
He treats alike both friend and foe
His love is unronfined
He sends his rain npon the just,
And on the unjust too;
The wicked in hsIovc may trust,
Nor are they from his boa ties thrust
For ali the wrong they do.
. Yet, oh my child, how keen must be
The pain IN that mans heart,
To whom, with generous hand and free,
God doth bispihs in part ;
Unless p" strive with earnest zeal,
To bless the human race,
md often at Gods feet doth kncel,
To thank him for his daily veal,
And praise hun for his grace p
