Poetry.
From the Friends Burial
BY JOHN g. WHITTIER.

Her path shall brighten more and more
Unto the perfect day
She cannot fail of peace who bore
Such peace with her away.
D sweet, calm face that seemed to wear
The look Of sins forgiven
Ovoice of prayer that seemed to bear
Her own needs up to Heaven
How revsrent in our midst she stood,
Or knelt in grateful praise
What praice of Christian womanheod
Was in her household ways
Nor still her holy living meant
No duty left undone
The heavenly and the human bient
Their kindred loves in one.sss
And if her life small leisure found
For feasting ear andeye,
And pleasure, on her daily round,
She passed unpausipg by.
Yet with her went secret sense
Of all things sweet and fair,
And besuty's gracious providence
Refreshed her unaware
She kept her line of rectitude
With loves unconscious ease
Her kindly instincts understood
All gentle courtesies.
An inborn charm of gracousness
Made sweet her smile and tone,
And glorifed her farm-wife dress
With beauty not its own.
The desr Lords bast interpreters
Arc humble human souls
The Gospel of "a life like hers
Ia moro than books or scrolls.
From scheme and creed the light goes out,
The sanity fact survives;
The blessed Master none Can doubt
Revealed in holy lives.
