The Lily Seeds.

By the side Of brook, one afternoon
In the dreamy, misty hour of June,
child sat down to watch it play,
And curl, and CULVER, and glide away.
In the liquid depths of his restless eye,
Was mirrored the hue of the azure sky
And the sunbeams danced on his waving hair,
And buried their golden arrows there
He twined his hands mid the water-reeds,
And lo they filled with the lily seeds;
He laughed as he counted them Ger and DER,
And held them fast as precious store
The brook,-it sparkled, and rippled, and pured
And hid itself where the crosses cured,
Bearing away, as its stolen dover,
Full many woodland leaf and flower.
The child beheld them, half in pride,
And half in longing, float down the tide,
And reckoning each, as it passed, to land,
The seeds slippedout of his tiny hand.
Years passed, and the brook flowed on the same.
Years passed-and weary pilgrim came.
His frame was bent, and his voice was low.
AND his locks were white as the falling snow.
he sat him down by the streamlet's side.
ana cooled his brow in the ripping tide,
and wondered to see how fresh and fair
The lilies shone in their beauty there:
They grew from the midst of the waters bright,
They grew, and gladdened his aching Sight
de breathed their perfume, and longed to rest
bis wandering steps IN place SO blest.
And down the vista Of by-gone years,
half in sunshine, and half in tears,
de thought, or he dreamed, of the self-same scene
And sinless child mid the rushes green
And he thought that once DER its pebbly strand
de dropped the seeds from his childish hand,
a And wondered if flowers SO fair could grow,
From those he scattered so long ago.
And thus in the morning of youth we stand
And fling our seeds with careless hand.
While the river Of life flows swift and strong,
And we sigh for the flowers it bears along.
And well for US, if in after years, .
Poor way-worn pilgrims CT doubt and fears,
" g can stay our steps in place of rest,
And feel it beautiful, bright, and blest-
And know the bloom that gladdens the eye,
has a hue that can never change or die;
Aud love and peace are the fruits that grow
from seeds we scattered SO long ago.

"It is ordered and enacted by au-
thority of this Court, that no Jesuit,
or spiritual, or ecclesiastical person,
[as they are termed ordained by the
authority of the Pope, or the See Of
Rome, shall henceforth at any time
repair to, or come within this Juris-
diction and if any person shall give
just cause or suspicion, that he is one
of such society Of order, he shall be
brought before some of the msgis-
trates, and if he cannot free himselfo Of
such suspicion, he shall be committed
to prison, or bound over to the next
court of Assistants, to be tried and
proceeded with, by banishment, Or
otherwise, as the court shall see cause.
And if any person SO banished, be ta-
ken the second time within this juris-
diction, upon lawful trial and convic-
ton, he shall be PIT to death Col.
