so much desired.But it was only in seeming; she sunk slowlyand peacefully to her rest without a murmur.She had performed nobly her task, and turnedaway from earth to Heaven for her reward. • i THE CHRISTIANS HOME. BY VAN B U R E N DENS LOW. This graceful elm, slow waving -with the windAbove this humble plot of stainless green— This modest cottage, crouching sweet behindAnd through its gown of lilacs hardly seen, Might draw a sigh from sated luxurys breast,Or royal yearnings for this humble home— Where weary souls in peaceful shades might rest,Or musing with their teacher, Nature, roam. But not in graceful elm or lilac sweet,Or eave of thatch, or lawn of virgin green, Nestles the charm that broods oer this retreat,From which tis hard my clinging soul to wean. Into this bower the bird of heaven hath flownWhich rested on our Saviours brow—a dove ; And where it flutters there is joy alone,Affection, peace, and love inspiring love. NOVELTIES FOE OCTOBER, Fks. 1 and 2.
