slept in the borough, and he suspected

madman. He will be very outrageous
when you seize him, but you must clap

THE SLEEPING CHILD.

BY LEt0a HUNT.
"A brook went dancing on its war,
From bank to valley leapins,
And by its sunny margin lay,
lovely infant sleeping, .
The murmur of the purling stream
Broke not the spell that bound him;
Like music breathing in his dream.
lullaby around him.
II is lovely sight to view,
Within this world Of sorrow,
One spot which still retains the hue
That earth from heaven may borrow,
And such was this-a scene so fair,
Arrayed in summer brightness,
And one poor being resting there
One soul Of radiant whiteness.
What happy dreams, fair child. are given,
To cast their sunshine o,er thee!
What cord unites thy soul 10 heaven,
Where visions glide before thee?
For wandering smiles Of cloullass mirth,
Ger thy glad features beam,ng,
Say. not thought-a form Of earth
Alloys thine hour Of dreaming.
Mayhap. afar on unseen wings,
Thy silent spirit soaring,
Now hears the burst from golden sprinrs.
Where angels are ador,ng;
And with the pure and heliacal thropc.
Around their Maker praising,
The joyous heart may join the song,
Ten thousand tongues are praising.
