| have little cousin,
She's scarcely FIVE years old,
Her eyes are blue as heaven,
And her locks are shining gold
Her brow's lilly petal,
And her check danask rose.
She's winsome little cousin
And this she almost knows.
Her glad blue eyesare bcaming
Like sunshine on the earth;
And she laughs away the shadows
With her efervescing mirth.
She dances like a fairy,
With footsteps light and free,
As bright as any angel
This Carrie is to me-.

thy servant, Professor Finney, ready and anxious
TO be used up in thy service; but, we pray thee if
consistent with thy will, let him be used up as
economically as possible" In the same effort, the
Professor thus took off Professor Morgan: Sand
here, Lord, is Brother John Morgan: Lord, thou
knowest he has more sense than all of US; but. O

the church behind time, with pair OF new boots,

The Professor abruptly stopped In the middle Of a
sentence, turned and cut down Brother John Nor

those boots!"
