the mind rules the body, and works wonders

fusion or temporary excitement which the mind

Mesmerisn, unconsciously used, perhaps does
much; curiosity, the love of the miraculous, the
hope of health, and more than all, the yearning
of weary spirits for divine support, lends this
new craze its charm and attracts tho crowd of

We Love but Few.

Oh, yes, we mean all kind words that we say
To old friends and to new;
Yet doth this truth grow clearer day by day
Weloye but few.
We lovei we Lowell What easy words to say,
And sweet to hear!
When sunrise splendor brightens all the way.
And far and near
Are breath of flowers and caroling Of birds,
And bells that chime.
Our hearts, are light; we do not weigh our words
AT morning time.
But when the matin music all is hushed
And Hfe's great load
Doth weigh Us down. and thick with dust
Doth grow the road
Then do we say less often that we love;
The words have grown!
With pleading eyes we look to Christ above,
And clasp our own.
Their lives are bound TO ours by mighty bands
No mortal strait,
Nor death himself, with his prevailing hands,
Can separate,
The world is wide and many names are dear,
And friendship true:
Yet do these words read palmer year by year
We love but few.

You have had your ftful day;
Wind and shower and snow and sleet
Make wet walking for my feet
For / come unsandaled down
From the hillsides bare and brown
But wherever do tread
There leave little thread
OF bright emerald, softly set
Like jewel in the wet
And make the peach buds turn
Pink and white, until they burn
Rosy red within their cells;
Then set the bloomy bells
OF this fiowery alder ringing,
And the apple blossoms swinging
In shower of rosy snow,
As L come and as go
On my gay and jocund way,
