THE COLORADO MAUD MULLER

I.
maud Muller, on q summers day,
TAXED the meadow sweet with hay"
Her clustering tresses, backward dung,
Adown her graceful shoulders hung.
Beneath her rustic hat Of etraw
Her eyes shot glances that would thaw
An icebcrg's frozen heart: or, felt
Their lire, the SHOWS would melt
Upon yon handicapped pile, Pixies Peak,
And trickle down his rugged cheek.
Her lips like ripe, red cherries cleaned:
Her checks with health and beauty beained;
Her hands-oh! dainty brown were they,
And derby raked the new-nOwn hay.
Her form, perfection's self enthroned;
breathing Psyche, go!den-zOned.
The Judge came riding slowly by;
tear stood in his bright blue eye.
His thoughts were on the checkcred past;
rive loves. five graces, and on the last
The wild flowers scarce fortnight old
His latest, kcenest anguish told.
Nor wealth. nor power, nor laws renown,
Ills stately home in Denver town,
His fellow-townsmcn's love and praise,
The proudcst fame, the greenest BAYS
Held aught Of happiness for him.
For death, the spoiler, cold and grim,
Had snatched, with all their wifcly charms,
Five loving spousee from his arms.
All. wrctched man! Five times bereft,
To him what earthly joy was left!
Ill.
With heavy heart and fearful eye
The Judge came riding slowly by,
When. like sudden burst Of light,
Maud Muller" flashed upon his sight.
Oh: Love, mysterious power divine!
What elasticity is thinel
He gazed entranced. Straight from the skies
She seemed to his enraptured eyes.
A gift from Jove, from Heaven sent
To cheer this vale Of discomfort.
Such swee. simplicity! such gracei
Such quecnly form! such peerless face!
lie gszed; he sighed his heart away,
He kneeled before her on the hay,
And breathed tale Of deathless love
That must have moved the gods above.
She softly smiled and looked away,
Still raking up the ncw.mown hay,
Then paused; and, grandly, like queen,
She pointed DER the meadow green
To where stalwart yeoman stood,
"Thet's Bill" she said; "Obsarve him good!
Unless you've got uncommon grit,
guess, old chap, you'd better git!"

however, that her trouble at this time was
caused by our former disagreeable visitor.
l had made up my mind that 1t was

this did not explain her terrible distress.
To change the subject and divert her at

mother had strong local attachments and
l feared she would disapprove of my ar
rangements, but to my surprise she &C
quiesced with evident qualification. In
deed, she hurried me out of the house
without allowing me scarcely time to di-
rect her where to come. She would ar
range and send our household goods, and

house. After left saw her standing in

In 1869, his widowed Queen, and her Prime
Minister united with the church. In the

government to be burned, saying, 81 burn

was soon followed by the most powerful re-
vival of modern times. Ninety-fve houses
of worship were built by the people in a
single year, some of them will accommodate
1000 hearers. The number of such buildings
at the present time, is said to be seven hun

have professed religion, and united with the

ing" 2. Tim. iv: 7,8.
| To me it is evident that when the Apostle
uses the metaphor of race, or contest in
his exhortation, it is to impress the solemn
truth that personal salvation is the prize to
be won or lost.
l5 grieves the brother to think the view
advocate renders the text liable to be used
in support of dangerous semi-Pelagian
doctrine, and it might be implied that Paul
was not sure of his standing and safety as
believer. Can it bespossible that he has
never learned that to be forewarned is to be
forearmed, and that 8 wholesome fear of fail
ure is one essential element of success in all
earnest aims, and in harmony with Gods

lures, when he EMPLOYS warnings and prom

In one wise .adjuste, fplsl. Does any one
think that Paul entertained doubts of Tim
othy's standing or safety as believer, OF
whom he speaks as his Gown son in the
faith?" Can any one suppose that Paul
thought there was any danger of lending
support to heterodox principle when he
addressed his "own son in the faith" in this
manner, "Take heed unto thySelf, and unto
the doctrine; continue in them; for in doing
this thou shalt both save thyself, and them
that hear thee" 1 Timothy iv: 16.
1 am apprehensive that brother HaweS
with his advanced orthodoxy and peculiar
views would have been more guarded in his
language had he written to Paul's Gown son
in the faith, and he would have performed
the delicate duty in this orthodox style, GAS
thou art Paul's 'own son in the faith, there
is no doubt to be entertained of thy stand
ing as believer, or that of thy believing
hearers; and | shall be far from intimating
of the kind. Take heed unto thy
