A HAPPY WOMAN.

Her days are filed with homely tasks
Her heart with love content;
Whatever she has, she enjoys, nor askt
Forwhat Heaven hath not sent >
She looks out toward the purple hills.
Thoagh small-paned windows gray;
The sunshine rirples DER the sills,
And the homemade carpet gay.
A soul sereue, through clear, mild eyes
Her baby sy.zt~ forth;
: Hissilenceseen.sIike speech more wise,
His smile cherub's worth.
She cares not many books to rsld.
But feeds on life instead;
And trammelled by no formal creed.
Her heartinspires her head. e.s
A home-spun woof of noiseless deeds,
Her life makes little show: %
For words come hardly for her needs,
And neer like rivers flow. 81
And ne'er Of duty doth she prate.
But str.ightway does the deed
Most needed, whether small OF greot,s
Fulfilling thus Loves creed.
In bal,yhood. among her toys.
She happy was for hours;
Aud now, amid her household joys,
She builds enduring towers.
And now as then she giveth JOY,
To all who near her dwell.
And feel the restful harmony.
Which from her soul doth well
As frotn brook in leafy dell.
Or bird uponits nest,
Or wl,atsoe'er Mt home doth dwell,
Tn Natures tranquil breast.
