Xur cares lie much for childish sport, dotes not on bat or Ull, Hut looks on manhood's wsys and worke,and aptly . mimics alL His little heart it busy still, sad oftouliwes per. pint With thought about this world of our and tho'ls about tho next ; Ilo kueela to his dear mother's knee, she tescheth him to pray, And strange, and sweet, and solemn then, srs the words which he will say. Oh, should my gentle child be spared'to manhood's years like me, A holier and a wiser man I trust that he will be: And when I look into hi aud stroke his thoughtful brow, I dare not think what I should feel, were I to lose liim now ! I have a eon a seeoud sua a simple child of three ; I'll not declare how bright and fair hit little fia turea be llow silver aweet those tones of his, when Jio prat tles on my knee. I do not think Ilia light blue eye is, like his broth er's keen, Nor his brow so full of childish thought as his has ever been j Hut his little heart's foiiukiia pure of kind and Icuder feeling, Aud his every look's a gleam ef light, rich depths of lore revealing. When he walks with me, the country folk, who paaa us ill the street, Will shout for joy, and bless my boy, he looks so mild and sweet. A playfellow is he to all, and yet with cheerful tone Will aiug his little songs of love when lift to sport alone. His presence is like sunshine tent to gladden home and hearth. To comfort us in all our griefs, and sweeten all our mil tli. Should he grow up to riper years, (iod grant his heurt may prove As sweet a home for heavenly grace, a uow for earthly love. And If beside his grave the tears our aching eye must dim, Ciod comfort us for all the love which we shall lose in h'ui. I have a "ii, a third sweet ion ; his nge I cannot tell, l-'or they reckon not hy years aud months where he has gon? to dwell. To us, for fourteen anxions months, his infant smiles wrre given, Aud then he bade farewell to Karlli, in.l went to live in Heaven. I cuunot tell what form is his, what look lis wear eth now, Nor gueashow bright a glwy crown hi shining serupll brow The thoughts that fill his sinless mul, the bliss which he doth feel, Are numbered with the secret things which tiod will not reveal ; Hut I know (fur (tod hath told me this) that he is now at rest, Where other blessed iufsiil he, on their Saviour's loving breast. I know his spirit feels no more this weary load of flesh, Ilu! bissleep is bleesed with endless dreams of joy for ever fresh. I kuow the angels fold him close bencoth tlicir glittering wings. And soothe him with a song that breathes of Hea ves' divinest tilings. I know that we shall meet our babe, (Vis mother dear and 1 J Where liod for sy shall wipe sway sll tears from every eye.
