And, breaking that, you made and broke you
dream
A triGe makes dream, a trife breaks
No tride,' groan'd the husband Yesterday
i met him suddenly in the street and ask'd
Tfat which I ask'd the woman in nv dream
Like her, be shook his head. Show me tn
books p
He lodged me with a long and oose account.
Sc The books, the books - but he, he could n
wait
Bound on a matter he Of life and doath;
When the great Books (see Daniel seven, th'
tenth)
Were open'd I should find he meant me well;
And then began to bloat himself and ooze
All over with the fat affectionate smile
That makes the widow lean. " Ny dearest friend
Have faith, have faith We I've by faith" sal,
he,
'And all things work together for the good
| Of those''-it makes me sick TO quote him-last
Gript my hand hard, anu with God-bless-you
went.
I stood like one that had received a blow
l found a hard friend in his loose accounts,
A loose one in the hari grip of his hand,
A curse in his God-bless-you: then my eyes
/ Pursued him down the street, and far away,
1 Among the honest shoulders on the crowd,
/ Read rascal in the motions of his back,
] And sc0undrel in the supple-sliding knee"
Was he so bound, poor soul sale the good
wife;
so are we all. but do not call him, owe,
Before YOU prove him, rogue, and proved, for
give.
His gain is loss: for ne that wrongs lis friend
/ Wrongs himself more, and ever bears ab ut
silent court Of justice in his breast,
/ Himself the Judge aud jury, and himself
! The prisoner az the bar, ever conuemnd.
And that drags down his life then comes what
comes
| Hereafter and he meant, he said he meant,
/ Perhaps he meant, OF partly meant, you well.'
'f With all his conscience and one eye
Love, let me quote these lines, that you may
learn
A man is likewise counsel for himself
Too often in that silent court Of yours
1 " With all his conscience and one eye askew,
SO false, he partly took himself fer true
Whose pious talk. when most his heart was dry,
Made wet the crafty crowsfoot round his eve
Who, never naming God except for gain,
50 never took that useful name In vain
Nor deeds Of gift but gifts Of grace he forged
And snake like sllmed his victim ere be gorged:
And oft at Bible meetings, DER the rest
Arising, did his holy oily best,
Dropping the too rough II in He'll and Heaven,
To spread the word by which himself had thrven."
How like you this old satire -
Nay she said,

Nor ever cared 90 better bis own kind
Who first wrote satire with 10 ritv in it,
But viii You hear my dream. for | had one
That altogether went to music2 still,
Itawei me. Well dreamd that round the north

Aui ever in II a low musical note
SweTed up and died: and. as IL ,,yelIed. a ridge
Of fbre3kcr. came from out tbo belt. and still
Grew with the orovyils, note and when the note
