MISCELLANY.
Faith.

Depths are ON every side of us; we walk
Upon the narrow ledge of pcrilous life
That which We see Is not the thing that is
or only part Of D. and no man knows
The meaning Of his own most simple prayers.
Or cOmpreh"nds their issues: what he seeks
Touches a thousand circles far aud near.
Requiring force and agency and skill.
Which only God can either loose of bind
The thing We ask for We can tell: the end
Of that for which We ask Is far beyond u.s.
Sometimes before, sometimes behind us. here
our shadows fan, as shines the sun on u.s.
The shaduwless Is nowhere here on earth.
Its sun is never high enough for that
All motion tends To rest: the universe
Must stagnate soon with infinite collapse,
Unless the hand that set its Orls a.rolling
with impulse ever fresh shall keep them so.

Twinkle, twinkle, little Arc,
Sickly, blue, uncertain spark:
Up above my head you swing,
Ugly, strange, expensive thing.
When across the foggy air
Streams the lightning's purple glare,
Does the traveller in the dark
Bless your radiance, little Arcy
When you fade with modest blush,
Scarce more bright than farthing rush,
Would he know which way 10 20
II you always twinkled so;
Cold, unloying binding star,
I've no notion what you are;
How your wOndrOus system" works,
Who controls It's bumps and jerks.
Yours lustre like the day!
tihastly. green, incOustant ray.
No; wnerr'cr they worship YOU
All the world is black or blue.
Though your light perchance surpass
HOmely oil or vulgar gas,
still II close with this remurkl,
