She pinches our feet with tight

She makes people sit up by night
when they ought to be in bed; and
keeps them in bed in The morning

She makes it vulgar to wait upon
ones self, and genteel to live idle and

She makes people visit when they

they are not thirsty.
She iuvades our pleasures and in.
terrupts our business.
She coupels people to dress gaily'
whether upon their own property or

the word of God or the dictates o'
prids.
She ruins health and produces
sickness, destroyes life, and occasion;
premature death.

Was heavy with speechless woe.

Deep cast by the foliage BRIGHT
And down on the fallen LEAKAGE
The splashes Of sunny light.

"such strange things come 70 Pass?"
II seems but a day since my footsteP
Went over the young Spring grass.
And gathered the blooming ivy,
In these same deep solitudes,
And my spirit rose up sOngful
As birds In the green May woods.
Now aboye me the autumn branches
Are scarlet and gold and brown,
And thistles below IN the hollows,
Are sAakins their purple down.
And my spirit no more is songful,
And my heart is no longer slad'
For ufe's beautiful dream has faded,
And my way lies dark and sad.
Iknelt me down on the grasses
To pray, but my lip was dumb,
NY sad heart could but murmur
''Changes on all things come
"Why do the green leaves wiiherf
Why do the red leaves fal?"-
Then voice came out Of the silence,
Goods love has ordained il all!
Let not thy voice be sounding,
With its tremulnus sadness rife,
Weep not at the change CT Nature,
or the changes in thy young life.
Thou art sick and sad and lonely,
on, lift up thy heart and sing,
For il may be the shadows passing
Are cast by an angels wing.
Then wonder not, for lfe's marvel
Shall be made clear al last,
And thy future may yet oe brighter
For the darkness that folds the past"
