Bereayed heart peruse the touching lines that ensue,
and In the language of the author SIT thou be father
that reads thou wilt pardon not suspend thy cen
sure until thou be a father.'l
One time my soul was pierced as with sword.
Contending still with men untaught and wild,
When He who the prophet lent his gourd,
Gave me the soace Of pleasant child.
A summer gift my precious flower was given,
A very sunny fragrance was Is Hfei
Its dear eyes soohed me as the blue of heaven,
When home Iturned a weary man of strife.
With uniformed laughter, musically sweet,
How soon the wakening babe would meet my kiss
With outstretched arms its care-worn father greet
On! IN the desert what stream this
A few short months it blossomed near my heart
few short months, else toilsoms all, and sad
For that home-solace nerved me for my part,
And Of the babe was exceeding glad!
Alas my pretty bud scarce formed was dying
(Fhe prophets gourd it whered in nght)
And He who gave me ALL my hearts pulse trying
Took gently home the child Of my delight!
Not rudely called, nor suddenly it persisted,
But gradual faded from our love away
As II i'll, secret dews, its life that cherished.
We're drop BY drop withheld, and day by day.
Myblessed Master saved me from reptning,
So tendery he sued me for His own;
so beautiful he made my babes declining,
Its dying blessed me, as its birth had done.
And daily to my board at noon and even
Our fading flower babe his mother bring
That We might commune of our rest in heaven
Gazing the while on death without its sting
And of the ransom for that baby paid,
So very sweet at times converse seemed,
That the sure truth Of grief gadness made
Our little Lamb by Gods Lamb redeemed!
There two miS-yhi doves my wife had nour ished
And 1 too, loved, erewhile, at time to stand,
Marking how each the other ondly cherished
And fed them from my baby's dmped hand.
sotame they grew. that to his cradle flying,
Full oft they Good him to his noontide rest;
And to the murtnurs Of his sleep replying,
Crept gently in, aud nestled in his breast.
Twas a fair sight, ths snow-pale infant sleeping
So fondly guariianed by those creatures mild;
Watch DER his closed eyes their bright eyes keeping
Wondrous the love betwixt the birds and child
Still as he sckened, seemed the doves too OWNING
FOrsook their food and loathed their pretty play
And on tile day he died, with sad note pining,
One gentle bird would not be driven away.
His mother found It when she rose, ssd.hearted
At early dawn, with sense of nearing ill
And when at last the little spirit parted,
Thedove died too, as If of its h-art-chiI!
The other few to meet my sad home-rding.
As with a human sorrow in la eye;
To my dead child and its dead mate then guiding.
Most pitiuly 'planed-and parted too!
Twas for my present, my first pledge to Heaven
And as laid my darling meath the sod,
Precious His comforts an infant given
And offered with two turtle doves to God.
