DAILY EVENING STAR.
LIFE ON THE EARTH.
M MRS. NARY $. soYE NICHOLS.

rTxRs. NARY s. soYE NICHOLS.
Life ham its many means, IT'S many cares,
Its clinsins, whitening shroud Of FIRE tosthed wo
There grow amid the wheat as many fares
As meTcy,s God can suffer here to grow. Il
Want, barebened want, around US shrinks and
For what of brave, young, springins life can be
In streets and lanes, and cellars foul as ours, ~
Where cen Gods air and light are never free!
Hearts, quiverinr human hearts, are born TO beat
In wretchedness 50 deep, and dark and lone,
That n would be most utter and complete
II God in heaven could e'er forget his own.
But darkness never yet was wholly dark;
The precious, diamond dew comes down At aieht
The cold, hand flint holds close the cheerful spaTk
Z That besees with its gladdening warmth and light.
And angels hover round US all the hours.
And fan our fevered life with cooling wings;
And when the lurid storm cloud darkest lowers,
Beneatn, beyond 1t, Heavens own beauty springs.
The dowers up spnnging from our mother earth.
Make glad the temple of the living Sod;
They are the music, poetry, and mirh
OF the green world the silent, senseiess ciod.
IL made all vocal with their joyous hymn,
In fragrance, breathing TO the upper heaven;
Their beauty, not cen sin could spoil or dim,
world where flowers can bloom must be forgiven.
The trees, 50 grandly bsastiful and strong,
Thai give fruit and flowers, and cooling shade
They image forth the perfect. Whilst among
The trees, we greve not that the flowers mus,
fade co.. f..s- a. n
The warm, bright sun the love Of God reveals,
And shines amid the cold, and dark, and drear,
Pure perfumed blessing air nh round NJ steals,
And makes the Earth like Heaven, seem very dear.
The clear and sparkling water from the fountain,
Old Ocean, rivers broad and little rills
That glad the valley and leap down the mountain,
Like Truth, will purify the world from ills.
With birds, and flowers. and trees, and air, and
water, .f~1
And Love that lives forever in them all,
We know that Earth must be of Heaven the daugh-
ter, 90
And Life and Labor will redeem her Fall. 81
