The Angel Of Patience.
BY ]. G. WHITTIER.

To weary hearts, to mourning homes,
Gods meekest angel gently comes;
No power hath he to Danish pain,
Or give US back our lost again:
And yet, in tenderest love, our dear,
And heavenly Father sends him here.
There's quiet in that angel glance,
There S rest in his still ,countenance
IL nocas no ~ =, ,i'5. ,G.e cheer,
Nor wounds with words tire mourner's ear
But ills and woes he may no, cure,
He kindly teaches to endure.
Angel Of patience . sent to calm
Our ieverlsh brow with cooling balm;
To lay with hope the storms OF fear,
And reconcile ife's smile and tear,
The throbs Of wounded pride to still,
And make our own our Fathers will.
Oh, thou who mourned on thy way,
With ongings for the close OF day,
He walks with thee, that angel kind,
And gently whispers. Be resigned
Bear up, bear on, the end shall tell
The dear lord ordereth all things wellw
