The Old New England Sabbath
DY PRoF J b. BUTLER.

It suits the mood oi certain men,
In turning back the leaves Of time,
To mark with hard, unsparing pen,
As something scarcely less than crime.
The strict Observance Of the day,
Our fathers loved, and set apart
To sacred usages, that lay
lnviolate on every heart.
1t pleases them to ridicule
AS "purtanlc" and "severe,"
Those hours Of rest and quiet rule,
With ready jest, and easy sneer.
But, abl the beauty of that day,
For which the serious eve prepared!
The tender peacefulness that lay
On heats, that all its sweetness sharedl
The morning full If calm content,
And ministiations without noise,
The happy smiles that came and went
From happy hearts Of guls and boys.
The deep, pervadng consci usness,
OF holy tim-, not hard, ur cold,
But coming joyiully to bless
Alike the lives Of young md old.

Tho blessed Sabbath every hour,
Down to the last that broke the charm,
Possessed strong coustraiuing power.
To purify and shi.ld from harm.

But that was half to zee the crown
