They are touchingly beautiful :-THE BLIND BOY.
It was a blessed summer day,
The flowers bloomed--the air was mild,
The little birds poured forth their lay,
And everything im nature smiled,
In pleasant thought I wandered en,
eneath the deep wood’s ample shade
’Till suddenly I came upon
Two children who had thither strayed.
. Just at an aged birch-tree’s foot
A little boy and girl reclined,
His hand in hers she kindly put,
And then I saw the boy was blind.
The children knew not I was near,
A tree concealed me from their vie w,
But all they said . well could hear,
And . could see all they might do.
‘Dear Mary,” said the poor blind boy
“ That little bird sings very leng;
Say, do you see him in his joy, which are offered at 50 per cent less than form~ . er prices.

And is he pretty as his song ?”
‘‘ Yes, Edward, yes,” replied the maid,
“I see the bird, on yonder tree.”
The poor boy sighed, and gently said,
‘Sister I wish that I could see !
“ The flowers, you say, are very fair,
And bright green leavesare on the trees
And pretty birds are singing there—
How beautiful for one who sees!
“Yet I the fragrant flowers can smell,
And can feel the green leaf’s shade,
Aud I can hear the notes that swell
From those dear birds that God has
{made,
“ So, sister, God to me is kind, .
Though sight, alas! He has not given; .
But tell me, are there any blind
Among the children up in heaven?”
“No, dearest Edward, there all see—
But why ask mea thing so odd?”
“Oh, Mary, He's so good to me,
T thought I'd like to look at God !”
Ere long, disease his hand had laid
On that dear boy so meek and mild ;
His widowed mother wept ard prayed,
That God wonld spare her sightless
(child.
He felt her warm tears on his face,
And said, “ O, never weep for me,
I'm going to a bright—bright place,
Where Mary says I God shall see.
““ And you'll be there, dear Mary, too,
But, mother, when you get up there,
Tell Edward, mother, that ‘tis you—
You know I never saw you here!””
He spoke no more, but sweetly smiled
Until the final biow was given—
When God took up the poor blind child,
And opened first his eyes in heayen !
