A little spring had lost it's way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger scooped a well
Where weary men might turn.
He walled it in and hung with care
A ladle on the brink,
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that toll might drink.
He passed again; and 10! the well,
BY summer never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parched
tongues
And saved life beside. ge

That thronged the daily mart. a.

Unstudied from the heart

A transitory breath. g.. n, ....

SONG OF LIFE

A traveller on a dusty road
Strewed acorns on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up.
And grew into tree. , -.
Love sought it's shade at evening tide,
To breathe it's early vows;
And age was pleased in heights of noon,
To bask beneath its boughs.
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs,
The birds sweet music bore
1t stood glory in its place,
A blessing evermore.
