BY PRISCILLA }. OWENS.
Some have entertained angels unawares"
Beside suffering child : bent.
And watched its struggling breath,
\ white Wee blossom, early rent
BY the desert wind of death
Ny tears were on the pallid face
That long sad summer day.
The angel pinions grew apace
The fair soul fled away;
SCARED away, though my arms were strained
1" keep with loving cares
Then knew my heart had entertained
An angel unawares
TO blossom sweet, in thy Fathers sight
Lift up thy voice and sing
Thou who hast flown from earth's dark night
To Heavens eternal spring.
Look up. thy saviour thou shalt view
The glory of that place,
And wear his smiles like morning dew
Upon thy shining face
For swift thy radiant wings unclaimed
Fled up the golden stairs.
And felt that had entertained
An angel unawares.
might have known thy loving ewes
My silent angel guest
That only i'll the peaceful skies
Could bc thy home of rest
For thy sweet SAKE my heart shall hold
Each little more dear
More tenderly Gods love he told
/" children listening near.
Ny soul amid all grief sustained
Bless God with greatful prayers
Because my heart has entertained
His angel unawarcs

Who dearest to his mother is
OF all Gods little men

He steals his slender hand in hers

Why Il" You cling 1" me So, child
You track me every where
Ynu never let me be alone
And he with serious all
Answered, AS closer still he drew
My feet were made to follow YOU"

Another child Of seven,
Whom Heaven had lent To Us while
Went back again To- Heaven
He came I" ill his brothers place
And bless our failing years.

He answered wiser than he knew
My feet were made to follow YOU
Come here. my child, and sit with me
Your head upon my breast;
You are the last of all my sons,
And you must be- the best
How much love you, you may guess
When, grown uan like me.

coming toward HIM, and, with customary
politeness he gave her the side walk to pass.
Instead OF passing however, she stopped him
in the face, and then began to claw HIM at
q lively rate. MY dear madam" began the
unhappy young man, but without giving him
TINE TO proceed, the lady commenced, don't

this time of the night, and all the children
sick at home" About this time the lady dis
