One morning Of the frs. aud FAN,
Poor Adam and his bride
Sat in the shade of Edcn's wall
hut on the outer side.
She, blushiuC in her fg leaf suit,
For the chastc garb Of old;
lie, signing DER his bitter fruit,
For Edcn's grapes of gold,
Behind them smiling in the morn,
Their forfeit garden lay
Before them wild with rock aud thorn,
The desert stretched away.
They heard the air above them famed,
4 light step on the sward;
And lol they saw before them stand
The angel Of the Lordl
"Arisel' lac said "why look behind,
When hope is all before,
Aud patient hand and willing mind
Your loss may yet restore?
"1leayc with you a spell whose power
Can make the desert glad,
Aud call around you fruit aud flower
As fair as Eden had.

The curse from off your soul:
You very doom shall seem a gift,
Your loss a gain through ToiL.
$50, cheerful as yon humming-becs
To labor as TO play -
While glimmcring over Eden's trees,
The angel passed away.
The pilgrims of the world went forth,
Obedicnt to the word;
And found, wherc'cr they titled the earth,
\ garden of the Lordl
The thorn tree cast its evil fruit,
And blushcd with plum aud pear;
And seeded grass and troddcn root
Grew sweet beneath their care.
We share our primal parents fate,
And in our turn and day
Look back on Edcn's swordod gate,
AS sad and lost as they.
But still FOR us his native skies
The plying angel leaves,
And leads through Toll to Paradise
New Adams aud new Ewes.

because "they can't afford it," We arc
sorry Cor their poverty, but more so for
their ignorance and stupid determination
