TIE POWER or HUMAN LOVE.

THE POWER OF HUMAN LOVE.
WHAT HAPPENED IN NEW ENGLAND roWu
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
She was q matrOn, wise and good.
Ae was half-wittcd. coarse and rude
A lonely Outcast in the wood.
Her husband. children, ncighbors saw
Her life without spot or flaw,
Nodded by Puritantc law. 4
To him there came no influence wise.
Which to our weakness strength supplies
No church, schoOi, home. no human tics.
What could there be bet wccn the twol
What could she have with him to dor
His very name she never know.
Nothing, II they are right who claim
6elf-happtucss mans only aim,
And Christ myth, and Cod name.
But in the poorest Christian creed
Lies hid. Of love- some generous seed
To help blUther III his need.
=" We scc." men said. the fellow Turk
BEHIND Il bush. to steal and shirk.
The rascal, II he chose, could work.
I" Don't give him, dame. another meal,
And II be comes our fowls To steal,
The Lazy brute the Jail shall feel"
She heard them tnlk and went her wav,
Said nothing; tut a, .,reak III day
Some food ul'-;i Il shclf thee lay.

he stopt, no saw tho bread and meat,
a.:o Ky quickly Up and down the street,
Next day again he left the wood,
And h! upon the shelf there stood
Once more dish Of savory food.
And every day he came to ind
His daily bread. till on his mind
Dawned some faint thought that men were
And though no WIND between them passed.
He knew he had a friend at last,
And sunshine Oh his path was cast,
With power some shadows to dispel
TO him 1t was miracle,
Az though each day from Heaven It foil;
A miracle bis soul to move,
True mamma dropping from above
For the true Bread from Heaven = Iowa
Unmarked, continuous movements 80;
The Earth's swift flight, Times steady Gov,
We scarcely feel, or zee. or know.
Thus steadfast goodness, moving on
Without . pause. % scarcely known;
Iet ali men miss Il vixen It's gone.
So to this town there came one day -
A sense Of something passed away,
Some influence, guidance, heip and stay.
And when the people Of the place
Came In, and looked upon her face,
TransDgured BY deaths solemn grace,
There, with the rest, amazed, they ind
Him, to whom she alone was kind,
Well-clOthed and In his proper mind.
And when 4 curious stranger read
Her name upon the plate, he said:
" but now tn try to work a bit,
For 4 my lazy ways quit
Twill please her when shc hears OF It
We all through Love our Life receive,
Since only while We love We live,
Aud Life cannot in Death believe.
Thus, to a mind in darkness scaled,
Love showed the truth from Thought con
And Immortality revealed.
