Oh human breast! Thou sacred vault;
To thee | trust the crown Of ALL
The heart, the life, creations price
Entombed within thy living wall.
0 keep secure the trust imposed,
No thoughts of woe let there abide.
When love and cheer knock on thy door
Then throw the portals open wide.
Let fellowship within abide,
But Danish fear from thy domain.
To kindness give foremost seat
For kindness soon brings golden grain.
Let humble thoughts and truth keep guard
Ger thy realrn-the precious crown.
Let sympathy pave channels to
Eternal life and sweet renown.

OH, YOU BEAUTIFUL SPRING.

WI, ohO0 again ~ 10 oPi AiS,
Watch the poets kill the thing;
And the bumble-bees will sting
The same as yore.
Soon the hoboes, they will "pling"
For a match or anything,
And the ''con' games they will sling
Around some more.
Oh, the wood peckers will peck,
And at peek-a-boos we'll neck;
And the housefies they will speck
Up everything.
Soon the moths our furs will wreck,
As the ice man comes on deck,
And our coal bills we will check
For it is Spring.
Oh, the anglers catch will swell,
And of big fish he will tell;
In canvas tent he'll dwell
Close by the stream.
Soon the florists, they will sell
Posies gathered from the dell,
And it will be hot as h
And that's no dream.
