A LITTLE QUAKER laugh,

There's a maiden In village,
With hair OF sunny hue,
And eyes of woodland lovelinees,
Like violets and dew.
Her face IL sweet With roses
That blush against the gray
Or her little quaker bonnet,
Suggesting March and May.
She talks with quaint decision,
Which ls music I'll allow,
When she greets me, rs she mt cts M,
With an earnest chow art thoul"
Though In manner she Is charming,
There is nothing that IL half
So perplexing and bewitchipg
As her pretty quaker laugh.
Defying rules Of discipline,
It's mirth f. full and free,
Whene'er ! greet her In return,
"Friend, 10 1t well with theeW
She knoW s l am not Of the fold,
Mayhap, she likes to chtff,
But tits certain that l love her
For her little quaker laugh.

Out she swung from her mornings
Aud over the harbor bar,
AS the moon was slowly rising
Sha faded from sighc afar,
And We traced her cleaning canvas
BY the twinkling evening star.
None knew the port she sailed for,
Nor whittier her cruise would be,
Her future course was shrouded
IN silence and mystery;
She Was sailing beneath sealed orders,
To oe open III out at sea.
Some souls cut of from moorings,
60 drifting into the night,
Darkness bCiore aud round them,
With scarce II yi!,Amer Of light;
They are sc.ilg beneath sealed ORDERS,
And sailing by faith, 10. eight,
Keeping the line Of duty,
Through evil and good report,
They shall ride the storms out safely,
Be the voyage long or short,
For the ship that carries Gods orders
Shall snckor at last In port.
