The soft and silvery moonbeams sleep. Upon her : distant hallo w'd grave, And silent dews of evening steep, The drooping boughs that o'er it wave. Time with its seasons round have sped, Wttlfah13''sri'ate formany years, Since last the earth above er head, Was moistened by her orphan's tears. Of separation, have been keen, The grave long holding from onr sight, A path beyond our human keri. mold'ring clay- Hope points to'us with holy light, : r Revealing joys of endless day, Home of the ransomed Spirits flight.

'tis brave where he guides his ships Through the seas of ice and snow." THE WORLD OF THE HEART. is the world to thy heart, O, boy With the glowing, earnest eyes?" : " 'Tis a broad fair field my strength to prove Where fame shall be my 'prize, Where I shall battle unstained with wrong; Shall strengthen the cause that's pure, 'Till my deeds shall live in the poet's song While men and books endure." ' And then I asked of the aged man: "O what is this world to thee?". He said: "My world is not very large, The past has faded from me; : But my heart leans out to where, far away My sons and my daughters J)e, 'With their flocks and herds on the mountain sides, --- Their homes in the vale below, My heart would rest in their happy midst It is there that I long to go.
