EVENING ASPIRATION.
God of the universal plan
Creator King
God Of the Saviour Christ what can
/ bring what bring
To thee
The shades Of evening spread around,
My whispered words do scarcely sound
Upon the air,
D who shall bear
To heaven my prayer,
A feeble word in darkness uttered!
Who heard the wave when thunder muttered
A countless host their praye ers prolong;
With praise a throng.
Who'll hear my breath though upward borne,
Struggling foriorn'
Will God, the Eternal God OF Might,
Enthroned in light
Marx on this spot,
SO small a dot9
Amidst the harmonies on high
Catch my weak sigh
Creator, Father, believe
The smallest one thou wouldst not grieve -
This is my prayer, doth all comprise
q let me near and nearer rise
To thee
Nearer to thee
AGAruA EARNEST.

The desiles Of man increase with his aequi-
sitions. Every step which be advances brings
something within his view which he did not
see before, and which as soon as be sees he
wants. When necessity ends, curiosity be-

everything which nature can demand. than
we sit down to-eontrive artificial appetites.
