STEAK SOFTLY AND SWEETLY,
When weary, tired, and needitv,•.rest
I reach the spot that I love heit = ,
My home, sweet home, my resting niece,
Where many a smiling, cheerful face
I wish to meet, I hope to &lib,
And word and look, both sweet and kind
speak softly, speak sweetly,
You'll rest me completely.
When through a day of toil and care,
And many an hour of work and wear,
I reach my home, there let me see '
Affection, yes; pure love' for
Oh ! let me feel at home a bliss
Which in all places else I miss—
Speak.softly, speak-sweetly,—
You'abless me completely. ,
Whon troubled by mistakee;lfind
A burden be r artken my , mind;
And in my heart a gleniny
Of grief untold, which, when I'm kneeling
Before my God, beclouds the mind,
When 1 relief from God would find—
.Seenk4oftlY:, speak sweetly,
It may case me completely.
When all my hours and days I spend
For loved ones who on me depend,
When I have used my strength and mind
For those dear loved ones, let me find—
Yes, let me feel these -loved ones dear,
Solicitous my heart to cheer
Speak softly, speak sweetly,
You'll cheer me completely,
When I'M Werwhelmed with doubt and grief
And seek froM others heart relief,
Which others have no will or power
T' give mein the needy hour;
Then home I turn, to loved ones there,
Who speak with me the heartfelt prayer,
:;() softly and sweetly,
They bless me completely.
Sounds sweet may often fill the ear—
May cause our gloom to disappear—
qounds struck from 'n ktrtiments of art,
That charm and soolie the gloomy heart;
But instrumental music's power,
Nnr stranger's voice, in gloorny -hour,
Can't reach the soul like hey ',lore,
Who speaks like me just from above,
So softly, so sweetly,
She charms me completely. ,
e soul has power to know and feel
A bliss which words cannot reveal—
A bliss on earth sent from aboye— ..
A bliss which mortals here call lova—
A Wiss in essence pure, dtvi.oe—
A blis that does our souls refine,
'Tis heard In sweet atfection's tone,
'Tis seen to love's bright face alone;
Where softly and sweetly,
It o'erwhelms us completely.

The dream or loVe'ittid - trath,•

'l•he Spirit's Yearning cry,'

The timid hand stretched forth to aid

A.middle,aged man of prepossessing

girl, whose graceful movements ,attract

caught a glimpse of two beautiful dark

she wish for.an artiet's pencil to sketch
the grand and beautiful wintry scene.—
The rose soon blended with the lily en
Nora's cheek,, and, as day after day
passed, Ralph became'dneply interested
and though he would not Acknowledge
to himsolf that he loved, yet he was
never so happy as when in hisi presence.
MrS. De Grey, with a woman's intuitive
knowledge; saw how it would end--there
was no one she would rather call daugh
ter than Nora, but she said nothing—
she would not advise Ralph—he must
follow the promptin'gS of 'his own heart.
Nora had been accustomed to skating
the previous winter, and-she often spoke
of the pleasure it afforded her, saying
she thought-it viouldfba fine 'skating on

not go out alone;_and.she might as-Avell

'seemed no one skated there ; yet Ralph
