Show RESURREXIT. "Our Sariour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath bought life and immortality to lifht through the gospel." 2 Tim, 1:10. The Earth's maternal breast is stirred With sympathetic throbs and throes; Each bloomlet is a prophet's word The violet foretells the roso. Where lately wintry silence dwelt And motionless the icy sheen, The resurrection news is spelt In alphabet of tender green. The Wahsatth wall 'gainst orient sky All crimson in the sunset looms; Prospector birds, with twit and cry, Nestle to sleep 'mid mellow glooms- The cedar quail, the noisy 'pie, The English sparrows' dingy crowd. Fearless regard the darkness niRh; To-morrow this their message loud; "O, not the beautiful and bravo Monopolize u Father's care; From niUv. oblivion, anltho grave.
