LOST BELIEFS.

One after one they left us;
The sweet birds out Of our breasts
Went flying away in the morning:
Will they come again to their nests
Will they come again at nightfall,
With Gods breath in their songl
Noon is fierce with the heats of summer
And summer days are long.
Oh. my Life. with thy upward fittings,
Thy dOwnward-striking roots,
Ripening out OF thy tender blossoms
But hard and bitter fruits
In thy boughs there is no shelter
For my birds to seek again.
All, the desolate Ia est IS broken
And torn with storms and rain.

THE BEAUTIFUL LAND.
ny BARRY coRNwA

bf bAhhf SOkN ALL
There Is land immortal,
The beautiful of lanes.
Beside the ancient portal,
A sentry grimly stands
He only can undo il,
And open wide the door;
And mortals who pass through it.,
Are mortals never more.
That glorious land is Heaven,
And Death the sentry grim;
The Lord therefore has given
The open keys to him.
And ransomed spirits singing
And sorrowing for sin,
Do pass the gate in dying,
And freely enter in.
Though dark and drear the passage
That leadeth TO the gate,
Yet grace comes with the message,
To souls that watch and wait;
And, at the time appointed
A messenger comes down,
And leads the Lords annointed
From the cross to glory's crown.
Their sighs me lost in singing,
They're blessed in their tears,
Their Journey homeward winging,
They leave to earth their fears.
Death like an angel seemeth-
"We welcome thee they cry;
Their face with glory beameth-
'Tis life for them TO die.
