POETRY.
THE MOSS ROSE.

The Angel Of the flowers one day
Beneath rose tree sleeping lay---
That spirit to whom power is given
To bathe young buds in dew from heaven.
Awaking from its light repose
The Angel whispered to the Rose:
"Ah, fondest object Of my care,
Still fairest found where all are fair
For the sweet shade thou givest to me,
Ask what thou wilt, 'tis granted thee"
"Then," said The Rose, with dsepened glow,
"On me another grace bestow."
The Angel paused in silent thought;
s'What grace was there that flowers had not?'
Twas but monent---o'er the Rose
A veil of Moss the Angel throws;
And robed in Natures simplest weed,
Could there flower that Rose exceed?

THE SABBATH BELLS.

BY MRS. ALLANs
The Sabbath bells, the Sabbath bells,
How sweetly on the air,
Their silver chimes are ringing out,
To call US up to prayer!
At morn and eve, Ger hill and dale,
From church and minister high,
They breathe their words Of peace and love.
Up to the silent sky!
Tie Sabbath bells, in pagan days,
Their Christian sounds awoke;
Beneath the turrets where they hung
The holy martyrs spoke!
Our fathers listened to their call,
And still for US they chime
Oh! ever may the Sabbath bells
Be heard in ev'ry cline.
