POETICAL.
THE CHILD'S GRAVE:
11 is a place where tender thought
Its voicelese vigil keepeth:
It is a place where kneeling love
'Mid all its hope, still weepeth i
The iraninished light of all a life
'flint tiny spot encloseth,
Where, followed by a thousand dreams,
The little one reposeth.
It is a place where thankfulness
Its tearful tribute giveth,
That one so pure bath left It world
Where so much sorrow liveth
%Viler° trial to the very heart
Its constant cross presenteth,
And every hour some trace i etains
For which the soul repenteth.
It is a place for Hope to rise
When other hrightness waneth;
And, front the darkness of the grave
l's learn the gilt it gaineth
From Hint, who wept as Ott the earth
Undying love still weepeth,
From Hint. who spoke those blessed words—
She is not dead, but sleepeth I"
A KIND WORD,
A little word in kindness spoken,
A !notion or a leer,
ilas often healed the heart that's brokeft,
And made a friend sincere.
A word—a look—has crushed to
Full many a budding flower,
Which had a smile owned its birth,
Would bless life's darkest hour.
Then deem it not an idle thing,
A pleasant word to speak ;
The face you wear, the thoughts you bring,
A heart may heal or break.
