to raise huge herds of houes without pro

THE MOON AND THE 0AX.
One night, sad and weary, 1 went to my bed,
And I scarcely had entered my room,
When 1 saw, thiongli tho window, the wlde
spreadiut; oak
Bowini; gracefully to the bright moon.
The blight queonol night was silently gHzlug
Disensliig her silvery light,
Through the gieen leafy lioughs ol the brave
old oak,
That so olt has been luy and while.
The calm-looking moon, as a monarch, doth
reign,
Rulos tbe ulitlit, aud tbe restless tide,
tier silvery light aud the glittering rttara
Illumine the universe wide.
For centuries past, tbebiave-hearted oak
las stood under many a storm,
Has shelter'd the flocks ou a cold, stormy
uight."
And shaded when summer was warm.
These majestic trees, tor graudnur ami
strength,
No otheis excel, or improve,
l-'uduru as the oak tlia. strikes deeper its
roots
When the storm outers Into the grovs.
Tliough the branches aie bare sod the leaves
swept away
By the winds and the cold brumal blast,
Yat again they'll put lorfh their verdure so
ureen,
And nourish, forgetting the past.
The sweet little birds, they have mine from
the south,
Stately klns of the forest to. see.
Now their nests are susuded, they'll tear
their young
Iu the greeu branches, tenderly.
The young feathered so misters, how swsetly
they chirp
As tboy tly from spray l sjiray,
But tbe time will come when lliatjr will de
part To their warm, siiuny home, far away.
O. may I, like the birds, seek a country atar
Thai will lead me to mansions above:
O, may I endure all the changes through lite
With patience, with kindness, aud love.
All Hellish swtils scatter'd alar from my heart,
Leaving room for rich blessings to coins,
From our Father alsivu, who doe comfort
mid love
All II ischildreii,aud welisimetbetn home.
