Zen Adsaem's Dream.

Abou Ben Adbem (may his tribe iucrease,)
Awoke one night from deep dream of peace,
And saw within the moonlight of his room,
Making it rich, like lily in full bloom,
An Angel writing in book of gold;
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
N'What writest thou?" The vision raised his head,
And in a voice made of all sweet accord,
Answered, ''The names OF those who love the
Lord
"And ismine enc 2" Ben Adhem asked. ''Not so, 2
Replied the Angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerily sill, II pray thee, then,
Write me as one who loves his fellow men"
The Angel wrote, aud vanished. The next night
He came again, with great wakealng light,
And showed the names whom the love OF God had
blessed
And lot Ben Adhem's name led all the rest,
