THE EARLY LOST.


All! surely those whom God best loves
Are hurried to the grave;
The lest to earth are they, who most
Our Father seeks to save.
Like the pure flly called at morn
Ere yet the dew cxhalcs,
Or crushed by blight or passing storm,
Or tom by ruthless gales
10 broken from its graceful stem
And robbed of allils bloom;
And now thing impure il lies
prey for natures tomb.
The guiltless child, all pure and fair,
Pride Of the peaceful hsme,
Whose dark eyes beam alone with love
For those who near her come.
Whose little throbbing, guilelcss heart
Knows. naught hut that's pure;
Whose childish love for heavenly things
No glittering snarcs can lure.
All, surely We who sorrow most,
When such "a these have hswn,
To that immoi al Eden where
Earth's choicest gems are gone,
Would not, If by pittying God
To us the power was given,
Reclaim, for earth and all ia woes.
The cherubim from Heaven.
OH mourner pause, thou knowest not
But in this boundless love,
That she, thy darling first born here,
Would guide thee hence, above.
When earthborn cares and trrubles grieve
The tried and faintng head,
Perchance the spirit of the lost,
Thy Taverins steps may lead.
And shouldst thou fatcr by the way,
II would not plume its wing,
Till at the footstool ofthy God
Thy sorrows 1t would bring.
Aud then, methinks, at Jesus feet,
With pinions dropping low,
The pleading sighs Of thy sweet one
Would blessings for thee sue.
Then like the lightning's CLEAN at owe,
Ger the enamelled sea-
The sercph would resume its place,
And with her parents be.
Then mouth not for the early dead,
For Heaven must claim its own;
And those who die without stain,
Must wear the brighter clown.
