Men siy sho Is a priestess, stern ami fair,
Perfect lu beauty, and ensphered Willi calm !
llcr rapt eyes liflcd heavenw.ird,unnwaro
Of discord lu Creation's hnppy psulm,
I know her as a kindly, ancient dame,
llctilini and garrulous through nlllho years
Full of content, nmld nil chango the same,
Gladdening tho seasons with her great good
cheer,
Jo Koddcss, lofty In fidelity,
Hut busy, happy, friendly with all men ,
Wise and loquacious, Innocently free,
Telling of what shall bo and whit lias been,
Blio has unnumberod secrets In her care;
8ho screens her mystcrlos w'lth siund nnd bight;
Yet half reveals their meaning every where.
And hints It lu tho sunset every night.
She, Is a lender mother lu the spring:
Sho pets each little leaf and blade of grass;
She teache. brooks and rivers how to sing,
And loads thewlnds Willi blessings as they pass.
And not loss tender when tho weary year
Lies down nnd dies nmld tho wlthcrid leaves.
Bho hath nu moro tho treasurer held so dear,
Y'ot keeps her qulot patience, while sho grlovos.
Dally, In trustful, klnl simplicity,
She shows to men her beauty's excellence,
Wlllluii that every human nul should ceo
Upon her Inppy faco God's evidence.
AUko to poor and rich, to dull and wlso,
Sho gives her flowers, her sunshine, uud her

In every nook she lilies some f.ilr surprise,
Aho lenvo no spot unloved on Uuds or sens.
Would that wo all, like her, In raro poatt-wlll,

A sou of Iho deceased caused tlio slater

Tlio son of tlio man who had -been

on the accused.
Tho Cadi meditated n few moments,
nnd finally said :
"It shall bo so."
Then to tho slater hecontluued,
"Thtti shalt stand in the street whore

And to the accuser ho added,
"Ami thou shalt, If It so pleaso thee,
