and writing. At everr place where he
may reside long, let him study to make
his apartments as attractive and comfort.

SMALL THINGS.

A traveller through dusty road

And one took root, and sprsutsd up,
And grew into tree.
Love sought It's shade At evening time,
To brsstbs its early vows,
And ngs vas pleased in heats Of noon
To bask beneath its bovs.
The dormouss loves its dangling twis,
The birds sweet music bore;
II stood glory In its placs,
A bles,ing svermors.
A little spring had lost Its way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped . we'll
whore weary men might turn.
He walled It around. and hung with care
A ladle At the brink
He thought not Of the deed he did,
But judged that toll might drink.

And cheers the valley still.
