 For the DEMoCRAT.l
 Beguiled. Far down the side of moss-fring- ed bank A beautiful blue-bell hung, Till it's dainty rim in the water sank And fragrance distilled from it's tongue. At times the ruffsway of passing Bore high its tender head, When quickly twas kissed by the rude little bees Then back to the water it sped. Unseen it had sprung, there even did bloom Mid the shades andthe suns bright smile, Nor dreaming for once it held the Of an unsuspecting child, Who tripped along to the stream let's edge Where the winged songsters come, To renew in the water their coral pledge In the glorious Te Deum. She watched the petals by the soft winds stirred Float down the siivery tide, Then the buzz of the bustling bees she heard And blue-bell quickly spied. While thus entranced in a mystic She eagerly sought the prize, But the sting that lurked in the hidden cell Shut light from her beautiful eyes,
  We are all mere children of larger size Beside life's flowing stream, Many a hope of the heart all shatter- ed lies Adrift like transient dream. Worldly pleasures along its fair banks hung To entiee the sensual sight, Ger the spiritual visage shadow has flung And the soul lost it's pristine light. The nourishing egg so frothy and white Oft covers a dreadful snare, Like the snowy frost it will certain ly blight For the tempters sting hides there. The encrimsoned wine with sparkles bright Exhilerates but while, Iris an enemy's standard with cclors of light Beware! Or twill surely beguile.
