FANNIE FORRESTER'S BIRD.

When a daughter was borne to Mrs
Judson, the far famed Fannie FORESTER, a
Maulonain where she resided with he
husband, Il missionary of the cross, she i
said to have pcnned the following exquisite
poem:
Ere last years moon had left the sky,
y birding sought my Indian nest,
And folded, oh. SO lovingly,
Her tiny wings upon my breast.
From morn till evenings purple timge,
In winSomc helplessneSS she lies,
Two rose leaves with Il Silken fringe,
Smut softly on her starry eyes.
There's not in Ind a lovclier bird;
Broad earth owns not IA happier nest:
oh, God, Thou hast Il fountain stirred,
Whose waters never more shall rest.
This beautiful, mysterious thing,
This seeming visitant from Heaven,
This bird, with the immortal wing,
To me, to me, Thy hand hts given.
The pulse first caught its tiny stroke,
The blood its crimson hue, from mine;
This life, which have dared invoke,
Hencetorth is parallel with Thine.
y silent awe is in my room
| tremble with delicious fear;
The future, with its light and gloom,
Time and eternity are here.

Hear, oh, my God. one earnest prayer;
Room for my bird in Paradise,
And give her angel plumage there.
