BEAUTIFUL TREES.

The groen trees whispered low and mild;
1t WAS sound Of joy,
They wrrp my playinates when chilo,
And rocked mo In their arms so wild;
SIN they looked at me and smiled,
As II | were "A boy;
And ever whispered mild and low;
Come, be child once more;
And waved their long arms TO ana mo-
And beckon'd solemnly and slow;
OH / could not chose but so
Into tho woodlands hear;
Into the bli,be and breathing air.
Into the solemn wood,
Solemn md silent cyerywherei .,
Nature with folded hands seem'd there.
Kneallng at her evening prayer;
Like ono In prayer ! stood.
Before mo rose an avenue
OF tall and solnbroua pines;
Abroad their fanlike branches grew,
And, where tho sunshine darted through
spread n yapor soft and blue.
In long and soping lines.
Aud FILLING ON my weary brain.
Like y fast falling shower.
The dreams OF youth came back o0esos
Low lispings Of The summer rain.
I1ropping on tho ripencd grain,
