make furious attack upon the weaker part of

The Poor Mans Sunday.
BY Z. PRICE.

Thrice welcome Sunday, ever dear,
The poor mans day of rest;
OF all the days j! is to me
The happiest and best;
For then leave the workshops din,
The busy haunts of men,
To wander in some shady wood,
Or some sequestered glen,
Where climbing vines Ike festoons hang
In clusters overhead,
And messy carpets decked with flowers,
Beneath the feet are spread:
Drink from the spring. where summers sun
Was never known to CLEAN;
Whose waters meander through the moss
To mingle with the stream.
In lonely dells and babbling brooks,
take delight to stray;
Where dew-drops shine like beads of pearl
And fow'rs bedeck the way.
Six days midst noise and dust toll,
With scarce an hour to spare.
But now. thank God. have day,
To breathe the pure fresh air.
All what pleasure to enjoy
The cool. refreshing breeze,
That comes all laden with perfume
Amidst the shady trees.
To sit beside the babbling brook
That runs so cool and clear;
The rippling amidst the stones
Is music to the ear.
My six days toll is here forgot
The cares next week may bring;
l sit upon my mossy throne,
More happy than king.
The insect and the feathered tribe,
Around me sport and play
Forgive, oh, God if living thus,
l desecrate the day.
Leaves from the Book of Nature here
Are scattered all around;
Though new editions oft appear,
Eratas never found.
Nor does falsehood stain its page,
No matter where you look,
How blest mankind, were il the same
With every other book.
For then all ruthless war would end,
All jarring creeis would cease,
This world would be Paradise
