THE BLIND BOY.

It was blessed nmner's day.
The flowers bloomed, .he air was miId.
The birds poured forth their lay,
And everything in nature smiled
In pleasant thought wandered on
Beneath The deep woods simple shade,
Till suddenly, came upon
Two children who had hither strayed.
Just at an aged beech trees foot,
A little boy and girl recIined;
His hand In hers she gently put.
And then saw the boy was blind.
The children knew not that was near
A tree concealed me from their view;
But all 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 see him in his JOY,
And is he as pretty as his sons'
Yes, Willie, yes replied the maid,
Il see the bird on yonder tree
The poor boy sighed, and gently said,
Sister. wish that | could seeH
The flowers, 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 flowers 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 given;
But tell me are there any blind
Among the children up in Heaven'
no, dearest Willie, there all see:
But why ask me thing Sc odGs'
%, Mary. He's SO good TO me,
thought I'd ike to look at God.'
Ere long, disease his hard had laid
On that dear boy SO meek and mild;
His widowed mother wept and prayed
That God might spare her sightless child.
He felt her warm tears on his face,
And sid, o., never weep for me,
I'm going to a bright, bright place,
Where Mary says l God shall see.
"And you'll come there, dear Mary, TOO;
But mother, dear, when you come there,
Tell Willie, mother that it's YOU
You know | never saw you herep
He spoke no more, but sweetly smiled,
Until the final blow was given;
When Goo took up the poor blind child,
And opened first his eyes-in Heaven.
