A HINT l'ROM NATUHE.
Iinc ago In thu olden timet
I'cojilo did not notice nature, but we
Aiu older nnd wtcr nnd
Should notice nil thing, ou see
Hid you ever notice nature?
Sho talks nl day Ion?.
K'rliups, friend, ) ou don't knaw
Tho brook's murmur o Its Eontf.
STRAYED FROM Tlin CTIATnAU.
Perhaps you never think,
When ) ou ro out f or a alk,
That ucry flower and Madonf ktors
Is trjlntf to get you to stop nnd talk.
And If jou sit down near a trva
Amnnit tho grata nnd Mowers,
If jou aiu cross nnd sad,
Nntui o will reason w ltli on for hours.
Yes, God litis given us nature
To help us on our llfo's tour.
So w lien w o arc sad nnd w enry
Nature will help usour sadness totndure.
Nntnro waa never known to weep
Or to lo sad or eros.
Aid If wo wcro to loso nature.
It would bo a, very tuut lots.
Sim cares not for tho niclanelioly
For alniliicts sho has always aspired
Sho lautihs piyly w ltli tlio Llitliu,
Sho teiidei ly hoothes llo tired.
No mutter liow poor tlio pcrwm,
Ho l never n soft cot.
Shu loves everylniily she ree
Whether they Rro iioor or not.
So, if yon want to be cross.
Don't uo lilt 'iuf rriwh,
