MY Lambs.

Iloved them so!
That when the "eldsr shepherd" of the fold
Came covered with storm, and pale and cold,
And begged for one of my sweet lamGs TO hold

Hs claimed the pet;
A little ~fondling thing that to my breast
Chung always. either in quiet or unrest;
l thOugnt oil all my lambs | loved him best,
And yet-and yet
laid him down,
In those whito, shrouded arms with bitter tears;
For some voice told me that in after years
H5 should know nauglt of passion, grief, or faars,
As | had known.
And yet again
That oder shepherd came--my heart grew faint;
10 elaimed another lamb with sadder plant;
Another! she who, gentle as a saint,
Ne'ergave me pain.
Aghast | turned away:
There sat she. lovely as an angels dream;
usr golden locks with sunlight all aglean,
HORRIBLY eyes with heaven In their beam,
lknelt to pray
t'Isit Thy will
My Father, say-mus this petlamb DO giveni
Ohl Thou hast many such. dear Lord, in heaven
And a soft voice said-''nobly hast thou %striven,

Oh! how woptl

Her, too, 1 gave--the little angel smiled
And slept.
$50, go" l cried;
For once again that shepherd laid his hand
Upon the noblest Of our household band:
Like a pale spectre-there he took his stand
Close to INSIDE.
And yct how wondrous sweet
The look with which he heard my passit nate oryl
