The Helpmeet.
Upon Western praifIe stood
A settlers cabin, low and rudei
Home from the fields its owner cAriei
A youth Of broad and slncwy frame
The axe upon his shoulder thrown,
In the red light OF sunset shone;
His cheek was brown, his eye was keen,
And health and strength were in his mien'
lie reached his cabin doOr--and sighed!
His rifle on the wall be Spiel
His couch of deer. skins-->sudden gloom
Filled all the bare, unfurnished room.
He turned away, and at the door
Sat, looking the wild Landscape o'eri
A bright lake In the distance spread
Its sivery splesdor, tinged with redi---
A million blossoms on his sight
Were rippling in the roseate light,
Fringing the prairie's southern side,
The green weeds murmuved like u tide.
Thence, as he sat with scmbre face,
BE saw advance with bashful grace,
a maiden from the woods deep bowers,
Her light feet rustliag through the flowers
Wild yiolcts blue and daisies fais
Clustered profusely in her hair;
Pure were her modest look and guise,
And soft tho lUstro q her eyes.
Lightly sire casne from out the wood,
Aad by tho downcast laborer stood,-
"Hour life is rough, your cabin bare
May not half your burdens shareI"
His pulses bounded joyfully,-
Sand csn'st thou mate with one like me;
And can'st thou share a home like thisf"
Her smile confirmed his sudden bliss.
- ;.
dc IeI'lSer through his cabin door
The shadows fled from off tie floor,
The rsfters rude, the hearth stone cold,
Received a sudden tinge Of gold.
Ere long the magic spread without,
CircIing the homestead all about;
Its logs with roses oyerblown.
The hut into bower had grown.
Green curtains at the windows hung,
Where purple morning glories swung,
A royal fringe and just below
Carnations blossomed sweet and SLOW.
Loving the shadows Of the leaves,
Birds sang around the vine.decked caves,
With panzies were the paths set round,
Which by the spring and garden wound
Now, when the youth at close Of day.
Turns wearisd from his toll away,
His face with expectation bright
CLOVIS, as his cabin comes in sight,
For Beauty waits to give him ease,
His wearisd eyes and heart to please;
And Labor knows no task too great,
Since Beauty is his willing mate.
