AT CHURCH.
A faint, sweet scent Of violcts;
4 little rustic at the door;
a si1ken trail along the aisle;
4 little football on the floor.
4 velvet praycr-book, golden claspeo'
Too ine for aught but sunday-need
a sycct-yoiccl joining in the chants;
A graceful bending in the Crcca.
4 handsome Rector at the dcHk'
A ircscoing Of red ana gold;
4 e,eam Of crimson In the pew;
An elegant and perfect fold.
4 prelude by the organist;
4 loud confession: - For We aro
All miserable sinners. Lord;
4 voluntary by the choir.
4 radiance of purple light:
4 trilliug By the choir again;
a prayer unspoken: ''But VIC thanA
Thee we are not as other men,"
sermon on sweet Charity;
4 stranger. poorly clad and old.
Departing with wounded heart,-
No room for such within that fold.
T. Just md righteous company;
a noble Christianity
4 Charity sublime; but Q.
Fron; such, good Lord, ds'iytr me!
