I sometimes Ural a< 1 could blot
All trace* ol mankind from earth—
As if 'twere wrong to Meet them not,
They so degrade, so shame their birth,
To think that earth .should be so fair.
So beautiful mid bright a thing,
That nature should come forth and wear
Such glorious upparcl.ng;
Thai sky, sen, nir, should live and glow
With light, and love, and holiness,
And yet men nc»er fevl or know
How much a t .oil can love and bl. ss—
Mow deep their dcbi of thankfulness.
I've teen ihc sun go down and light
Like Hoods of gold poured M the sky—
■H hen every tree and flower was brigblf
And every pulse was beating high.
And tho full soul was gushing love,
And longing for its home above—
And then, when men would soar, ifeft r,
To the high homei of thought anJ soul—
When life's degrading ties should sever,
And the free spirit spurn control-*
Then have I seen, oh.huw my cheek
Is burning with the shame I feel.
That truth is in the words I speak,
I've seen my fellow-crolu.es steal
Away to their unjiallowed mirth ;
As if the revelries of earth
Were all that they could feel or sSare,
A lew years since, as the Kev. Mr. (iellaudct
was walking in the streets of Hartford there came
running to hire a poor boy, of very ordinary first-sight
appearance, but whose fine intelligent eye
fixed the gentleman's attention, as tho boy in-

just runaway from the workhouse because they
. will not leach me to read." The reverend gentle-
| man made arrangements with the authorities of
the town, and look the boy into his own family.
There he learned to read. Nor was that all.
He soon acquired the confidence of his new as-sociates,

nature. Is net the fixed law of the universe, the
needle to the pole, a sufficient guarantee for the
existence of attraction ! And who will ley it is
not of divine origin I The passion of love is so,
too, when of the genuine kind. Reason and ap-preciation
of character may, on longer acquain-tance,
deepen the impression, as streams their
channels deeper wear, but the seal is set by n
higher power than human will, and gives the
stamp of happiness or misery to a whole life.
