ART AND NATURE.

| entered a ducal palace
A palace stately and old
Its vast saloons were glowing
With marble, and rich with gold.
On the tables, in tender mosaic,
Were marvellous fruits and flowers;
On the walls were Poussins landscapes,
With their sunshine and shaded bowers
And in the vase before me
Were roses white and red
! stopped to welcome their fragrance,
but found them waXen and dead.
Then forth from the lofty window,
stepped into the living green;
Where the lone-pines stood around me,
With iiowcry shrubs between
And said, "Takc the costly splendor--
Take the wonderful triumphs ofart
But give me loving Nature,
Which speaks to my soul and heart
"These works of men are noble,
In each fair Italian form
But Gods are where the sun goes up,
Or the shades of light come down"
Let wise men on the anvis
OF study, fashion ont truth
But religion is sent to each humble SOUL
With its word for age and youth.
God comes in silent blessings,
Like dew and rain from above,
In whatever place pure heart longs
For goodness, end light, and love.
