| The dew-drop was bewildered, snC
knew not what to say. 1t would gladly
have reigned in the golden heavens anC
been queen of the stars, but it feared the
fierce ardor Of the sunbeam and theI
the rose kept whispering such swee
things to it with its messy lips, that i
could not help loving its gentle voice
/ So it.thought little, and then replied Il
the sunbeam thus:
so golden sunbeam who gazest a
me with thine eyes Of splendor, thou ar
far too great for me to love thee. Whs
would I. a poor, timid dew-drOp, do, wed
ded to such msgnifieenee as thine? A
thy first embrace, | should melt away
and vanish like the morning mist upol
the hills. But the sweet rose l loy
dearly. Her kisses are laden with per
fume, and from Der bosom steals forth a.
the fragrance Of love. D fond and beau
tiful flower! in thy rosy chalice l wi
dwell forever and be happy ~ -.-.
So saying, the dew-drop slid gentl
down into the glowing bosom Of the rose
and nestled among her velvet leaves.
Sensible dew-dTop! well didst tho
, know that It fs not the love that dazzle
most which brings the greatest peacs
, The love Of the sunbeam would hav
been fatal to thee, while that Of the rOs

, Love, like the skylsrk, though sometime
