influence OF GOOD Deeas.
A traveller through dusty road
Strewed acorns on the lea.
And one took root and sprouted up
And grew into tree.
Love sought its shade at evening time
To breathe its early vows,
And age was pleased in heats of noon
To bask beneath its boughs..
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs.
The birds sweet music bore;
1t stood, a glory in its place,
A blessing evcrmore!
A little spring had lost Its way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scoopcd well,
Where weary men might turn.
He walled II in and hung with care
A ladle at the brink.
He thought not of the deed he did
But judged that toll might drink.
He passed again. and, 10. the we'll.
BY summers never dried.
Had cooled ten thousand parchinf
tongues
And saved life beside!
A dreamer dropped a random thought;
Twas old and yet was new
A simple fancy of the brain,
But strong In being true.
1t shone upon a genial mlnd'
AndS 10. its light became
A lamp of life. beacon ray.
A monitory flame.
The thought was small its issue great
A watchiire on the hill;
It sheds its radiance far adown
And cheers the valley still!
A nameless man amid a crowd
That thronged the daily mart
Let fall a word of hope and love,
Cnstudied from the heart.
A whisper on the tumult thrown
A transitory breath.
1t raised brother from the dust;
1t saved soul from death.
o GERM . font! . word OF love!
o thought at random cast!
Ye were but little al the first.
