NOTHING.


"Blessed he uo1bipg p an old woman said,
AS she scrubbed away for her daily bread
I'm better off than my neighbor, the squire
He's afraid Of robbers, he's AFRAID OF nre'
Afraid OF flood to wreck his mill,
Afraid of something to cross his will.
I've nothing to burn and nothing to steal'
But a bit OF pork and barrel OF meal
A house that only keeps oil the rain
Is easily burnt and built up again
Blessed be nothing MY heart Is light
sing at my washing, and sleep all nlgnt.
BLESSED be nothing!" the young man cried.
As he turned with smile to his smiling bride.
Banks are breaking and stocks are down,
There's dread and bitterness all over town;
There are brokers grooming and bankers sad,
There's silk and satin. but want Of bread, :.
And many woman would fain be dead
Whose little children sob and cling
For the daily Joy she cannot bring.
Blessed be nothing for you and me!
We have no riches on wings to fee.'
Blessed he nothing if man might choose,
For he who hath it has naught to lose;
Nothing to fear from food or fire,
All things to hope for and desire;
The dream that is better than waking days.
The future that feeds the longing gaze;
Better, far better. than anght We hold,
As far as mining exceedeth gold,
Or hope fruition in earth below,
Or peace that is in US no outward show.
Almost, when worn by weary years.
Tired with a pathway OF thorns and tears,
When kindred fail us, and love has fed
And we know the living less than the dead,
We think that the host OF mortal good
Is a painless, friendless solitude.
For thepangS more than the peace they give,
Who make our lives SO sad to live.
Blessed be nothing !! it knows no loss,
Nor the sharpest nails OF the Masters cross;
No friend to deny us, Of none bereft.
md though we have no one. yet God is LETT.
Yet. having nothing, the whole is ours.
No thorns can pierce US who have no flowers.
And sure is the promise OF His word
Thy poor are blessed in spirit. Lord!
Whatever we lose OF wealth or care,
Still there is left US tho breath OF prayer
That heavenly breath OF u world so high.
Sorrow and shining come not SO nigh;
The sure and certain mercy OF Him
Who sitteth between the cherubim,
Yet caras for the lonely sparrow's fall.
And is ready and eager to help US all.
Rich is HIS bounty to all Der meath; .
To the poorest and saddest He giveth death

In making the loans, as we'll for my own protec-
