There was one street in Nawr tina,
mad O cool freshness about it in al the
sleepy Incidence of the August after
noon; quite out OF reach of the fash
ionable gayety of the parade on the

town on the other. Yetfrom the bow

ment upon it which distance lends.
The houses on what was in the af-
ternoon the sunny side of East street

Inhabitants themselves would have

each The very curtains looked all of

KINDNESS.

There is a pant called kindness
That grows with little Toll,
In any land or climate,
In any kind OF soil.
The little plant will hasten
To make a spreading tree,
To bud and brightly blossom
And bear sweet fruit for thee.
There is no flower fairer
Whose fruitage will not fall:
The birds build there and carol,
The windharps tell their tale
In gently breathing music;
And there the sun will shine,
While underneath the branches
The weary MAY recline.
And when this kindness blossoms,
The odor that 1t throws
Exceeds the pleasant fragrance
or violet and rose.
The leaves might heal the nations
IL they would now apply
The laws OF kindess only.
Then hate and war would de.
If kindness ruled this planet,
Then God would rule It, TOO:
For love TO God and neighbor
Is all He bids us do.
And he that plants such kindness
VIII find the fruit f. love;
The showers from heaven descending
Shall bless 1t from above.
Long after he has moldeIed,
The branches still shall wave:
For Ills a lovely blossom
To grow upon a grave.
But kindness Is so tender,
'Tis frozen by Il frown;
Revenge and deadly anger
VIII cat the branches down,
While greed and hate and envy q
Will gnaw the bark away;
Arise, thou watchful gardener,
Andthese des,royer5 slay.
The Husbandman Of heaven
Has given US the seed
OF Charity and Kindness
Sufficient for our need.
He tells us bow 10 labor;
He brings US to His school,
And sums up all the lessor.
In n grand Golden Rule.
