And now the secret was out. Il was
The interest Of The old chairs, which main
iained the poor widow. She was living
on the interest and compound interest Of a
tiitlc friendly act done years before, and i
suiiiced for herself and daughter.
How beautiful it is TO see how God
blessed the operations of, His great moral
law, Love thy neighbour" and we should

Of life, and find that it is not self interest |

act can do far more than they. 1t is these,
the friendly Kindness, the Christian sym
pathy Of one towards another, which rob
wealth of its power TO curse, extract the
bitter from the sorrow, and open wells Of
badness in the desolatc homes. We d |
rot always see the golden lines sldniag

Bland as the morning breath OF June,
The southwest brsezes play;
And, through its haze, the winternoon
Seems warm as summers day.
The snow -pumed angel Of the north
Has dropp'd his icy spear;
Again the nossy earth looks forth
Again the streams gish clear.
The FOX his hillside cell forsakes,
The muslSrat leaves his nook,
The bluebird in the meadow brakes
Is singing with the brook.
" Bear IN oh. y sther Nature :" cry
Bird, breeze, and streamlet free

By bitter blasts and drear,
O'erswept by memory's frozen pole,
win sunny days appear.
Reyiving hope and faith, they show
'' The soul its living powers,
And how beneath the winters snow
Lie germs of summer flowers
The night is mother Of the day
The winter Of the spring,
And ever upon old decay
The greenest mosses cling;
Behind the cloud the starlight turks,
Through showers the sumbeans fall
For God, who loveth all his works,
Has left his hope with all
