THE BLESSED. '
Lure xt—28.
I eaw young children playing,
And my heart was full of bliss,
For I know not midst the scenes of earth,
A lovelier sight than this;
Like rose-hearts glow’d each flushing check,
With pleasure’s richcsthnej
And warm blood lit the tell-tale brow,
. Most eloquently true:
Then my thoughts grew bright with joyfulncss,
And sweet words were on my tongue,
“ IIow blessed are the innocent!
How blessed arc the young!’’
Bn! a voice, (like low flute music)
My weakened spirit heard;
“ Yea ! rather they are blessed,
Who keep God's holy word.”
I looked on life more earnestly,
With all its checkered lot;
And saw how hitter weeds would spring,
Where flowers of lovo were not;
I learned to read tlie heart deep,
Where mines of feeling glow,
To give a purer light to Hfe,
Or fill it up with woe;
Then softly spake I to myself,
“ Ah 1 childhocd’s mirth is vain,
But how blessed are the loving,
When their love is met again!”
Yet still that deep-heart music,
Liko a whisper round mo stirred;
“ Yea! rather they are blessed, •
Who keep God's holy word.”
I saw how men were toiling,
All through their little day;
To win from earth the glittering wealth,
That often leads astray :
And iny heart and eyes grew weary,
At this folly of mankind,
For 1 saw how gold grew dim, before
The brightness of tlio mind;
Thou I sang aloud, triumphantly—
What dazzled fancy taught:
“ How Messed arc the gifted !
With their power of burning thought
But a slmdow fell among the light,
And the music seemed a sigh,
When tho wnrld-ador’d, the worship'll ones,
Were called upon—to die:
Then I need not that spirit-voice,
To tell me how I erred j
Fori felt that they alone arc blest.
Who keep God’s holy word. II. M.

root is small and bitter. The first inentioii
of it hy European writers, is in 1558. It is
now spread over the woild. Wheat and
rye originated in Tartary and Siberia, when;
they are still indigenious. The only coun
