THE ALL-PERyAD:NG GOD.

L walked with Nature alone one day,
And sought to discern the sound,
That murmured up from the growing shrub
And leafy tongues around,
The field-bell opened her yellow hood,
To let me hook in her eye,
And the kIng-cups lifted their heads To bow
Whenever sauntered by;
The fainfeSt noise of a signing breath
From the heart of the rose came up,
And bent my ear to the musical hum
In the blue-bells tiny cup;
And clustered yiolets faint and DIM
Were STOPPING SO near the sod,
That knew by the daisy's fearful eye,
They whispered together with God.
l walked in the woodland 5 solemn shade,
Where gums and dew-dreps drip
Where moses embrace the dead old trees i,
And kiss with a clinging lip;
The brave old oak the monarch oak,
swung forward his giant arm,
And the infant trees. at his gesture wide,
Waved shivering with alarm;
They knew, perhaps, that d mighty theme
Their forest king had stirred;
And Stih and solemn the hemiockS stood,
As if they too had heard;
The tasseiled pine, with a trembling moan
Reeled forward and back in the air,
And threw her quivering fingers up
To the shy as If in prayer; Ifrair
Then my quick ear Oped TO the strange re-
Around the path trod,

No greeting shout, no eager welcome word;

No sound is heard.
No little chair beside the table stands;

There are three pairs of precious dimpled

It's leaves with aspirations art,

The prelude of the coming time;-

Thou shalt lay cross and burden down,
Humanity and take thy crown,

With every wrong requited;
Enthroned for thy achievement vast.
With each ideal of the past
One grand reality at last,
When this old Earth is righted.
And woman's life no more shall be
The playground of hypocrisy,
But earnest, natural, and free;
And Love shall stay unfrighted,
And reign in sacred, sweet content,
And offer service reverent;
For marriage shall be sacrament,
When this old Earth is righted.
And rolling forward to the day
The world shall bravely make essay,
To draw Heavens glory round its way
That seemed so long benighted;
And every whispering wind that blows
The rock, the fountain, and the rose,
And trembling leaf, shall God disclose,
When this old Earth is righted.
