SMALL THINGS.

A traveller on . dusty road,
strewed acorns on tho lea,
And one took root and sproutod up,
And grow into treel
Love sought its shade at evening time,
To breathe It's early vows,
And age was pleased. In heats Of noon,
To bask beneath its boughs.
The dormouse loved its dangling twig,
Tho birds sweet music bore
II stood, glory In Its place
blessing cvermorc.
A liitle spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern
A passing stranger scooped . we'll,
Whore weary men might turn;
lie. walled 1t in, and hung with care
A lsdle at the brink
He thought not Of the doed he did,
But judged that toll might drink.
He passed again; and 10, the we'll,
BY summers mover dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues,
And saved life beside
A dreamer dropped random thought
Twas old, and yet twas new
A simple fancy Of the brain,
But strong in being true;
IL shone upon genial mind,
And 10 its light became
A lamp Of life, beacon ray,
A monitory flame.
Tho thought was small-its issuos great,
A watoh-hre ON q hill;
II sheds its radiance far adown,
And cheers tho valley still.
A nameless man, amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall word Of hope and love,
Unstudied, from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown
A transitory breath;
1t raised brother from the dust
II saved soul from death.
oh germ oh fount oh word Of love!
oh thought at random cast,
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last
