4 traveller through a dusty road
Sfra~ed a"Hrus On the lea,
And one took F1of, and sprOltel up, ..-
Aud grew into J tree.
Love sought its shade at evening time,
To breathe its early vows,
And age was pleased in heats Of noon
To bask beneath its boughs.
The dormouse loves it's dangling twig,
The birds sweet music bore
It stood glory in It's place,
a blessing eyerm0re.
A little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern;
a passing stranger scooped well
Where weary men might turn.
He walled it round, and hung with care
a ladle at the brink
he thought not OF the deed he did,
But Judged that toll might drink.
He passed again, and 10! the WE'LL
BY summers never dried
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues,
And saved life besides.
A dreamer dropped a random thought,
Twas old and yet twas new
A simple fancy Of the brain,
But strong in being true.
1t shone upon genial mind,
And lol it's light became
A lamp of life, a beacon ray,
a monitory name
The thought was small, its issues great,
A Watch.fire on hill
It shed its radiance far adown,
And cheers the valley still. .....
A nameless man amid a crowd
That thronged the daily mart
Let fall a word Of hope and love
Unstudied from the heart.
a whisper on the tumult thrown,
A tlansitory breath,
a brother from the dust,
1t saved a soul from death.
Oh, germ oh, fount oh word of love!

Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last.

1t is not because your heart is mine-mine only
Mine alone
1t is not because you chose me, weak and lonely,
For your own
Not because the earth is fairer, and the skies
Spread above you
Are more radiant for the shining of your eyes
That | love you!
It is not because the worlds perplexed meaning
Grows more clear;
And the parapets of Heaven, with angels leaning,
Seem more near;
And Nature sings Of Praise with all her voices
Since yours spoke,
Since within my silent heart, that now rejoices,
Love awOke!
Nay, not even because your hand holds heart and life
At your will
Soothing, hushing all its discOrd, making strife
Calm aud still
Teaching Trust to fold her wings, nor ever roam
From her nest
Teaching Love that her securest safest home
Must be rest.
But because this humanloye, though true and sweet
Yours and mine
Has been sent by love more tender, more complete,
More divine
That it leads our hearts to rest at last in Heaven
Far above you;
Do take you as a gift that God hath given

When the young Frenehman went away,


In three short days her hair turned gray,
Shed quite forgot to have it dyed.
When the wolf turns moraIst, always look to your
lambs.
To fan treason into full blaze, always fan with a
petticoat.
As the intellect wastes away, malignity generally
increases; so, when the brain decays after death,
snakes are said to breed in the vacant skull.
Those who write and speak best upon spirituous
liquors are most generally those who are fullest Of
their subject.
Paradoxical as it may seem, he who reels and stag
gers most in the journey of life takes the stghtest
cut to perdition.

No name to bid US know
Who rests below,
No word Of death or birth;
Only the grasses wave
Over mound Of earth,
Over a nameless grave. ."
Did this poor wandering heart
In pain depart?
Longing, but all too late,
For the calm home again.
Where patient watchers wait,
And still will wait in vain.
Did mourners come in scorn,
And thus forlorn,
Leave him, with grief and shame.
To silence and decay,
And hide the furnished name
or the unconscious clay?
It may be from his side
his loved ones died,
And, last of some bright band,
Together now once mOre0
He sought bis home, the land
Where they were gone before.
No matter, lines have made
AS cool shade,
And lingering breezes pass
As tenderly and slow,
As if beneath the grass
a monarch slept below.
No grief, though loud and deep,
Could stir that sleep -;
And earth and heaven tell
Ofrest that shall not cease
Where the cold worlds farewell
Fade into endless peace.
