Now L Lay Me Down to sleep.

The dreamy night draws nigh;
Son delicious airs breathe of mingled flowers,
And on the wings Of slumber creep the hours.
The moon is high;
See yonder tiny cot,
The lattice decked with vines-a tremulous ray
Steals out to where the silver moonbeams lay,
Yet pales them notI
Within, two holy eyes,
Two little hands clasped softly, and brow
Whore thought sits busy, weaving garlands now
OF joys and signs
For the sw iit-coming years.
Two rosy lips with innocent worship part;
List be thou-saint or sceptic, If thou art,
Thou must have ears;
"Now lay me down to sleep,
I pray tho Lord IN! soul to keep;
II should die before wake,
pray the Lord my soul to take"
Doth 1t not noseless ope
Tho very food-gates of thy heart, and make
A better man Of thee for her sweet sake,
Who with strong hope,
Her sweet task meier forgot
To whisper, Snow lay me-" o'er and o'srf
And thou didst kneel upon the sanded floor
Forget them notl
From many festive hall
Where flashing light and flashing glances vic,
And robed in splendor, mirth makes reyelry-
Soft voices call
On the light.hearted throngs
To sweep the harp-striRgs, and to join the dance
The careless girl starts lightly, as, perchance,
Amid the songs,
The merry laugh, the Jest,
Come 10 her visioA songs Of long ago,
When by her snowy couch she murmured low,
Before her rest,
That single infants prayer.
Once more at home she lays her jewels by,
Throws back the curs that shade her heavy eye,
And kneelng there,
With quivering lip and sigh,
fakes from her fingers white the sparkling rings
The golden coronet from her brow, and filings
The baubles by;
NOR doth she tboughtless dare
TO seek her rest, tiil sho hath asked Of Heaven
That all her sins through Christ may be fo.g giver
Then comes the ptdyet;
"Now / lay me down II Sleep,
pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If should die before l wake,
pray The Lord my soul to take."
The warrior on the field,
After the battle; pil!6wihg lis head
Perhaps upon a fallen comrade dend'
Scorns not 10 yield
To the sweet memories Of his cGildhdod's hour;
When fame was burtered for a crimson flower.
The statesman gray,
His massive brow all hung with laurel leaves,
Forgets his honors while his memory weaveS,
A picture of that home, mid wood and stream,
Where hoary mountains caught the SUMS first bean
CaOin rude-lhe wide fields gtisteuing,
The cattle yoked, and mulely listening,
The farmers toll, The farmers fare, and best
or earthly laxurics, the farmers rest;
But hurk soft voice steals upon his heart
"Now say your pr yer, my son, before we part;
And, clasping his great hands-a child once NOR
Upon his breast, forgetting ife's long war-
Thus hear him pray:
"Now lay me down TO sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep;
If | should die before l wake,
pray the Lord my soul to take"

ton was rejected BY large majority according 70
our suhentic reporter. nothing but the saerednes'
