MATTHEW, eli. xviii:
Twas upon this holy day
The Lord of glory rose;
Triumphed DER death, the grave
Vanquishcd all his foes:
''Then cometh Mary Magdelene,
And the other Mary to see
The new white sepulcher,
Where Jesus of Nazareth lay"
An Angel then from Heaven
Spake-''I know whom ye seek;
He is not here-but risen,"
The lowly lamb 50 meek
go now, tell His disciples,
But behold, first, where He lay,)
He has arisen-goeth before
Into Galilee
Quickly they 60 to tell them:
All hail! their Lord they meet,
And before father going
They worship at his feet.
The Roman guards, by bribery,
Were even taught to say
ellis disciples came by night
And stole his body away"
So they took the money
And did as they were taught;
The same is still reported
Among the Jews till yet.
But away into Galilee,
At an appointed place,
The troubled Eleven meet
Their risen Saviour's face.
And saith He unto them
''All power now is given
TO me, in all the EARTH,
Above US in the Heaven;
Go, therefore, all nations teach
Baptizing in the name
OfFather, Son, Holy Ghost
Three in one the same.
Now, we who've received His word,
Let's no false impressi ons make
Meier deny our Saviour, Lord,
For filthy lucre's sake.
At Gods House let us meet;
And as pious Mary did
Bow, worship at His feet

farmers are the ''bone and sinew" of the
land, 1 don't favor the idea of devoting
every hour of life to this avocation, aud
that too, as many do, for the purpose o.
treasuring up wealth, here ''where moth and
