The Bluebird.
BY DAVID PAUL BROWN.

D, do you hear the bluebird,
The herald Of the Spring 1
How chcerily he times his pipe,
How bithcly he bluncs his win52
He breathes the native note of praise,
To the great Source of Good
The trees are vocal with his lays,
Instinct with gratitude.
TTo mounts upon his dowpy wing,
He cleayes the ambient air,
Iphalcs the balmy breath of spring,
And wakes the world of prayer.
The fertile earth, at Natures voice,
Unlocks her precious store,
And mount ana vale and plain rejoice,
Togrcot the genial hour.
The purline stream, no longer bound
In winters icy chain,
Sparkles beneath the sunny ray,
And freely flows again.
Flows, as life flows in infancy,
Pure. radient and serene,
Through flowers aud fields and fragrant
groves,
That animate the scene.
Flows on till winter checks its tide,
And robs it ofits bloom,
Like death, that in your youthful pride,
ConsignS Us TO the tomb.
Yet man, for whom .hese notes are sung,
For whom these waters flow,
For whom this vernal wealth abounds,
The monarch here below
Man, on man ! with lofty brow,
With stubborn heart and knee,
Looks oe'r this smiling universe,
Ungrateful, Lord, to the.
The rerils OF the winter past,
Spring, like blooming bride,
The summers and the autumns hope,
All magnify his pride.
Thore--thero he stands---a rebel still,
4 recreant OF that Power
That murmurs in each iimpii rill,
Aud breathcs in every flower.

Wishing.

Of nil arlusemeuts for the mind,
From logic down to fishing,
There isn't one that you can find
So very cheap as wishing"
4 very choice diversion, too,
If We but rightly use it,
And not, as we are apt to do,
PCrycrt il and abuse il.
wish common wish, indeed
My purse was something fa,ter;
That might clear the child of need,
And not my pride to fatter!
That might make oppression reel
As only gold can make it,
And break the tyrants rod of steel
AS only gold can break it.
wish--that sympathy and love,
And every human passion
Thai has its origin above.
Would come and kecpin fashion
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fathoms dep,
Beneath the waves of ocean!
l wish-that friends were always true,
AHu motives al"ayS pure
wish the good were not so few
l wish the bad were fewer
wish that parsons ne 'er forgot
To heed their pious teaching;
wish that practicing was not
So different from preaching.
wish--that modest worth might ba
Appraised with truth and candor;
wish that innocence were free
From trcachery and slander:
l wish that men their VOWS would mind,
That women ne'er were rovers
l wish that wives We're always kind,
And husbands always lovers.
vish--in fne-that JOY and mirth,
And every good ideal.
May come, ereyhile, throughoutthe earth
To be the glorious real;
Till God shall every creature bless
With his supremosr blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing in possessing.
