THE BLIND BOZ.


II was blessed summer day,
The flowers bloomed, the air was mild
The little birds poured forth their lay,
Ard ev'ry thing in nature smiled.
In pleasant thoughts wander'd on,
Beneath the deep woods ample shade,
Tin suddenly I came upon
Two children who had thither stray'd.
Just at an aged birch trees foot
A little boy and girl rcclined;
His hands in hers she kindly put,
And then / saw the boy was blind,
The chidren knew not was near
A tree concealed me from their view;
But an they said well could hear,
And could see all they might do.
"Dear Mary" said the poor blind boy,
"That little bird sings very long;
. Say, do you zee him in his joy,
Ard i be pretty as his song,"
"Yes, Edward, yes" replied the maid;
see the bird on yonder tree"
Tie poor boy sighed, and gently said,
"Sisaer, / wish that could see.
Tie Aow'rs, you say, are very fair,
And bright green leaves are on the trees,
And pretty birds are singing there
How beautiful for one who sees!
"Yet the fragrant aow'rs can smell,
And can feel the green leafs shade,
And can hear the notes that swell
From those dear birds that God has made.
"So, sister, God to me is kind,
Though sight, alas. he has not giv'n;
But tell me, are there any blind
Among the children up in heav'n2"
No, dearest Edward, there all see
But why ask me thing 50 odd ?"
"Oh, Mary, He's 50 good to me,
ItkoagAs I'd like to look at God.''
Ere long Disease his hand had laid
On that dear boy, so meek and mild:
His widow'd mother wept and prayid
That God would spare her sightless child.
He telt her warm tears on her face,
And nid-"Oh, never weep for me:
I'm going to bright, bright place,
Where Mary says God shall see.
: t"And you'll be there, dear Mary, TOO
But zasth.r, when you get up there,
Tell Edward mother that 'tis a0u-
