With love’s sweet notes to grace your song,
To pierce the heart with thrilling lay,

She hath a tray to sing so clear,
Phabus might wondering stoop to hear;
To melt the aa<l, make blithe the gay.
And nature charm, Anne hath a tray!
She hath a troy,

To breath, delight Anne hath a tray.
When envy's breath and rancorous t«*oih
Do soil and bite fair worth ami truth,
And merit to distress lietray.
To sooth the heart Anne hath n tray ;
.She hath a tray to chase despair.
To heal all grief, to cure all rare,
Turn foulest night to fairest day !
Thou know’st, fond heart, Anne hath a tray
Site hath a tray.
Aline Hathaway—
To make grief bliss, Anne hath a tray.
Talk not of perns, the orient li>t,
The diamond, topaz,‘amethyst.
The emerald mild, the ruby gay ;
Talk of my gem, Anne Hathaway !
She hath a tray, with her bright eye,
Their various lustre to defy ;
The jewel she. and the foil they,
So sweet to look, Anne hath a tray;
She hath a tray %

To shaino bright gems, Anne hath a tray.
but to re it to my fancy given
To rate her charms. I’d call them Heaven,
For, though a mortal made of clay,
Angels must lire Anne Hathaway ;
She hath a tray so to control.
To rapture ilie imprisoned soul.
And sweetest Heaven on earth display,
That to I* Heaven Anne hath a tray!
She hath «j tray,

Did a holy life consist of one'
or two noble deeds, sonic signal
specimens of doing, of enduring,
or suffering, we might, account,
for the failure, or reckon it small
dishonor to turn back in sm-li a'
conflict. But a holy life is made
up ot small things of thc hour,
and not tlie great things of the
ages, that till up a life like that
of l’aul or John, like that of
Brainard or Martyn.
The avoidance of little evils,
sins, little inconsistencies, little
weaknesses, little folies, little in
discretions and imprudences, little
indulgences of self and of thc flesh,
little siets of indolence, or inde
cision. or slovenliness, or cowar
dice, little equivocations or aber
rations from high integrity, little
t inches of shahhiuess or meanness,
liltle bits of eovetousiess anil
peimrioiisness, little exhibitions
of worhlliiie.ss or gaiety, little in
differences to the feelings or wishes
of others, outbreaks of temper of
crossness, or selfishness, or vanity.
—the avoidance of such little
things as these goes far to make
up at least lhe negative 1 reanty of
a holy life. And then the atten
tion to little duties of the day and
hour, in public tinnaaclioiis, of
private dealings, or family ar
rangements ; tit little words, and
looks, and tones, and little self-
denials, and * sell-rest mints, and
self-forgclfulness, little plans of
kindness and thoughtful considera
tion for others, to punctuality and
i method, and true aim in the order
ing of each day—these are tin'
active developments of a holy life,
thc rich and divine mosaics of
which it is composed.
Not the outstanding peak or
stately elm makes yon green hill
so beautiful, but the bright sward
which clothes its slopes, composed

Bible Reading.
Whitfield, the Wesleys ami their
associates, laid great stress on Biblo-
reading, and their success was due in
a large measure to their simple expl; -*
nations of great truths, and the en
forcing of these truths in the daily life.
The recent revival of ritualism in thn
English Church, under the lead of
Newnan and Ptisey, reversed this pro
cess. The Bible was kept ill the
background. It was not commended
(o the people. Its reading was not
urged. It was not :q>|>calcd to an an
authority. The Fathers were quo
ted more frequently than the apostles.
The Church was exalted above lbs
Scriptures.
These historical facts have a prac
tical value. They speak with empha
sis to ministers and church-loaders in
our day. The [snverof the church is
measured by its use oftlieWonlnf
God. Riety will be intelligent and
vigorous by feeding upon the Scrip
tures. There is no revival agency so
mighty as the reading ol the Bible.—
If all the members of a church would
unite in a daily reading of the Bible,
diligent, earnest mid prayeiful, they
would need no vi-it of an evangelist
to quicken them, and no exciting
means to awake them to new life.—
The spirit of God would accompany
his appointed agency, and Christians
would feel the divine fire burning in
their souls. If the "rent truths of thc
Bihle could be brought home daily
to the consciences of unconverted men
hv nading alone with God, religious
thoughtfulness and anxiety would fol
low as naturally, as the seed germi
nates under the summer sun.
No revival measure is so much
needed in the churches, its an increased
study of the Bihle. It is a divine
force lodged among men, and will do
its appointed work. It is now hin
dered, shut in for lack of use. It is
pressed down by lh? crowd of maga
zines, literary and religious books,
which claim attention. Unfold it,
open it, let its hidden force bear daily
on human hearts, and it will give
amplest proof of its divine origin.
Many pastors and churches are
mourning over a general spiritual
dearth. They long for a revival
which shall quicken Christians and
convert sinners. They think of evan-*
gelists, and protracted meetings, and
various human methods of stirring a
new life. Is it not wise to try a di
vine agency always at hand ? I^et the
power of the Bible as a revivalist lie
fairly tested by earnest reading in tlie
closet, and the family, and the con
ference-meeting. Let sermons take on
