THE WARMING.

From Tinsley's Magazire.l
The morn was as bright morn could be,
Blue glowed the sky, blue laughed the sea;
Sunshine and flowers were met together
In the joy and glory of summer weather;
But the old man pointed. where far in the West,
Lay cloud like sail, on the sky's broad breast
And he said. as he looked at the OminOus white,
Theren be mist ere ncOntide, and storm ere
night"
The dream was as bright as dream could be-
He was gallant, fair was she,
As glad the sunshine they moved together,
In their acous love, through the golden weather.
Till rrifle Jared on the sensitive chords.
Smiles that We're hooking and idle words
And the old man said, 80 youth, take heed;
The thistle grows from the chance-sown seed
The fush OF .oun. love. and the break Q: the day
What is fair feet they
Gather the buds while the dew drops shine.
Garner hearts love in its birth divine;
From doubt and anger, fro IN careless touch.
VINO guard the delicate bloom too muCu:
For the love forgiven, the sunrise or
Renew their fist glory, oh, never more

With wild flowers sweet and rare
While the ferns seemed made o; .pi..: s:.:.

Where was the service that day think you:
Down III the valley below,
Where the sad faced people locked 20 church

Where the spirit, with two or three.
