COMPASS SSION.

"Blest, indeed, is he who never fell,
But blest much more who from the verge Of hell
Climbs up to Paradise for sin is sweet
Strong is temptation willing are the feet
That follow Pleasure manifold her shares,
And pitfalls lurk beneath our very prayers
Yet God, the Clement, the Compassionate,
In pity of our weakness, keeps the gate
Ofpardon open, scorning not to wait
Until the last moment, when His mercy Gings
splendor from the shade of Azraels wings"
"The man who seerlcth worse
Than I may purer be; for when I fell
Temptations reached loftcr pinnacle.
Therefore, O man be Charity thy aim
Praise cannot harm, but weigh thy words Of blame.
Distrust the virtue that itself exalts,
But turn TO that which doth avow its faults,
And from repentance pluck wholesome fruit.
Pardon, not wrath, is Gods best attribrlte.'

When sorrow casts shadow
Over manlood's trodden road,
And the heart begins to sick n
Meath the weight of troubles load.
How We backward cast our vision
To the days of sun and flowers;
How we turn on Mem'ry's pinions
To the scenes of childhoods hours !
Thoughts OF those we loved so dearly,
And who gave US love for love
Who have gone away and left us
For a mansion up above
Thoughts of those whose gentle caring
Let no shadows on us fall
Those who luled lis into slumbcr
When the day assumed its pail.
How 1t glimmers through the darkness
Which the Present draws around
The light which shone so brightly
On Youths untrodden ground;
And it lifts the heavy burden
Which on the spirit weighs,
To glance awsy Off backward
To those guileless, sunny days!
