[concluded. J It was a wretched building-groudd.   Squeez¬ ed up between tho houao and the towing-path) there waa space only for a single row of rooms.
* AlUhe belter,* thought Caspar; ' I will build, three stories, one over the other, and so shorten Zebulon's allowance of daylight.* But oa the aide nexl the river ha had to build a strong sione parapet, and that was no joke. There was so little room for the stables, that, wheii complete, ibey held fewer oxen by half-a-dozon than did those of tho old honse. On t&e other band, Caspar managed to build thena in such a man¬ ner that tbey darkened Zebulon's side window, and intercepted his view, of the village, thus de¬ priving him of the chief amusement ho had when he sat at his work.
AViib many cnrses, and much vexation, lhe roof was got on the house before winter CBine. The brother* no longer spoke to each other when tbey met; the whole viUage laughed at them, but thi' only strengthened them in their obstinacy. When Caspar wanted clothes igadc; he employed a tailor from anoiher village.— His children did their uncle all the harm ihey could, end had no longer any mercy on his frait and flowers.
When spring came, and Caspar went id live In his new house, things improved alittle, but yet no great deai. It is bad enough to have an enemy wben one lives in a town, but in the country it is stUl worse. For in tho town one can avoid him, if one witl; but in the country one daily meets him, at fair and market, ac the tavtim and at parish meetings, at work and in one's walks; and then ono*a food tastes sour af¬ terwards.
One day Casper said to the inkeeper—* I am well housed now; I have a pleasant view all around and Jook right into the vilage : thai pleases my wife, and is a great amusemeni to her.* The inkeeper repeated this to Zebulon, and nexc moming bricklayers came, and built upon three sides of .Caspar's house, bnt upon llis brother's ground, two six fool walls, and stuck down stone of broken klass upon the top of each of them. Between these walls Zebulon planied, wiih his own hand, a row of young poplars, tended and watered them day after day, B.)d paid the watchmtui handsomely to see that no one injured them in the night. Cas¬ par's children got noihing from these walls bul cut htmds and sore knees; and meanwhile the poplars grew apace, and by the following spring had 80 fenced in Cospar's house that he had to burn candles at four in the-afternoon. It -wes ail up with the pleaaant prospect lliat so re¬ joiced his wife. And what was still worse, tbe wall separated the children from all their old playgrounds, and now they lay the whole day by the water side, thejr mother could not get lhem from il; and, when the river was higb, she had constant anxiety and trouble. At lasl Caspar was obliged to hire a servant, solely to look after tba children.
On a cerlain auiumn day, soon after tbe af¬ tergrass had been got in, Zebulon was seated at work, when his brother's eldest son entered lbe room, without knocking, walked up to the tai lor's board, and aaid, * Uncle Zebulon, father leis you know—'
'Takeoff your cap,* said Zebulon, * when you apeak M) your father's brother.'
* My faiher told me nothing abont that,' an¬ swered the young fellow, and kept his cap on ' He bade me tell you that, up yonder, where yoar meadows begin, the dike and fence are worn out. Father says that concerns you as well as him ; and that, if you will help and pay your share of a new stone dike, wiih an osier hedge, he is ready to do so too.'
Then said Zebulon, * He has more need of it thnn I, for if there is a flood in the spring, and no new dike, his house will be full of water.— Tell your faiher, however, tlmt I would have agreed to his proposal, if he had not sent such a clown to make it.*
The lad turned on his heel, and walked away wiihout'further greeting. When he told his father the answer he had got, Caspar said;
• I am not going to spend my money to protect lhe meadows of that niggardly churl.    Thank God! I am rich, and my land lies high and dry and though  my house were to  float down the Rhine, I should not be ruined.*
Accordingly, no dike was raade. That tumn the Rhine rose higher than usual: and when it again subsided, Zebulon walked out with an arxious heart to visit his meadows, Tme enough, the last remains of the old walla were washed away, and a great piece of mead¬ ow ground was stripped of its grass : there waa full nn acre and a half of bare earih, thickly strewn with barren sand and gravel. Zeb¬ ulon easily calculated tbat, including lhe una¬ voidable expense of a new dike, he was a thous¬ and dollars ibe poorer. And he ihought to hi^eli—* Il were better that my brother had the half acre of meadow for his houae, and I the whole acre over and above, which is now completely spoiled.' But he quickly banished the reflection, when he walked along the wet towing-path in front of Caspar's house, and saw the whole family, great and small, hard at ¦work with buokets, to bail the water out of the cellar, aud Caspar's wife wringing her hands, because her whole year's stock of sour-kraut and newly preserved beans was spoiled in the casks. To Zebulon this sight was like a cool dressing to a emarting sore.
But there waa a severe rod in pickle for Ze¬ bulon. That aame autumn he heard the banns published in church, for the tnarriege of his ol¬ deat niece Lizzy witha young farmer ofthe neighborhood; and this was done without a word to him, the nearest relative ! Lizzie was hia god-daughter, ahe had always been his fa¬ vorite niece, and for many a long year he had ' stored np for hor a heavy gold chain, with bright ducats hanging from it, which had come to him ont of his mother's Inheriiance. And now—
The wedding day came; Zedulon was not invited, Althongh the autumn was far ad¬ vanced, there was a warm gleam of sun, and Jhe tables for the marriage-feast were laid out in the open air, hard by the housa door. From his upper windows he beheld tha joyons prepa¬ rations, and swallowed his vexations as best he might; but when tho bride appeared in her beantiful new dress, which he had not cut and sewn,* and which iherefore, as he thought, fit¬ ted her very badly, two large and bitter tears escaped from bis old eyes. He could no longer resist tbe sounds of miVth and rejoicing, which floated np to his ears throngh the branches of the poplars. He dressed himself, put the gold chain and the clinking glittering ducats, so long intended for Lizzy, in his breeches pocket, and -went downstairs.
Eut for the spiteful walls he himself had built, he might have slipped out by the back door, and have reached tho wedding party al¬ most unperceived; as it was, he bad to make a circuit, and pass between the rows of tables.
Stepping softly, and with downcast eyes; he approached the feast. Lizzy saw him and blushed crimson, her mother saw him. and lurned deadly pale; a mnlici'eras smile spread' over the faces of most of the, guests at the prominence thus given to the gross breach of family love and family usages. Caspar .sprang from his seat, I believe his intention was to offer his brother a glass of wine, and I.elao be¬ lieve that, had he done so, Zebulon would have remained, and Lizzy's marriage would hayo marked tho date of a new bond of harmony and reflection. But just then, the youngtst of Caspar's children called out to iha great house- dog, whioh upon, that day was unchained, that he might shue tlie general joy. < Towler, Tow- ler, there is TJncle-Scissor-legs V   The dog was

Qaietly. went Zebulon through stubhle-field and pastnre to the goldsmith in the nearest town, sold him the chain, end dropped the louis^d'ors he received for it into the aame pock¬ et in' ^hich the chain had been. Then he crossed tho market-place to.the office of the no- tary,.had an hour's conference with him, and made an early appointment with him for the next morning at his own houae. Then ha re¬ turned home, joined the drinkers at the village inn, and asked the barber and the farrier, the two greatest gossips in the pariah, to oome to bim next morniag, to witness his signature.— Upon their promising to do so, he treated them to the best wine, and played cards with them lilt late in the night. In this way he got rid of two of lhe gold pieces he bad received for his gold; chain—which was just what he desired.. At nildhigbt when the marriage feast was atan end he went home and to bed.
Tbe notary came, the witnesses also. Zeb. ulon had a female relation In the Oberland, whom he could not bear, becauae she h&d mis¬ conducted heraelf as a young girl, and disgrace to the family had been wiih great difficulty avert¬ ed by a hasty marriage. To her and her chil. dren he now bequeathed by will his houae and land, and ever/ thing else he posaessed; with a clause, providing that the bequest should be null.' and void, if ever the heirs suffered the walls and the row of poplars to fall into decay, or if at any time they sold any portion of the land to his brolher Caspar, or hta descendants. The notary's fees swallowed up tho rest of the price of lhe chain, with the ezception of a len- groschen bit, which Zebulon threw into the poor-box on the following Sunday. He alrictly and. repeatedly forbade tbe two witnesaea to divulge what had passed. They of course knew nothing more pressing than to tell it to everybody ; and before evening tweniy tongues had repealed to Caspar, in confidence, the edi¬ fying lale.
Money weighs heavy everywhere, but espec- ia'.ly in country places, where men, and often maidens, are valued by what they possess.— Caspar soon observed that he no longer passed for lialf so rich aman as formerly. It was ve¬ ry well known that Zebulon, from his garden, and hia ricli meadows, and his tailor*s trade, derived about as good an income as did Caspar from his farm; and that, moreover, having neither chick nor child, he did not spend a tithe of his gains. Besides this, he had his father's solid, well-built house, whilst Caspar had the unsafe, newly-conalructed dwelling by the wa¬ ter's edge ; and when ihe properly of the lalter came to be divided amongst twelve children, Lhe share of eaoh would be very small indeed. By the neighbors, both old and young, all ihese calculations were quickly made. The mayor's son of a neighboring village had long been pay- i ing attention to Anna, Caspar's second daugh¬ ter, (the same who bad pulled Michael oS his uncle's staircase,) and of Lizzy's wedding day they had almost come to an understanding. but now he kept away and for a long time An¬ na looked far less pert than wae her wonl.— Caspar himself had hoped to be chosen assessor at the next opportunity; but when it came to an election, everybody said it was not proper to bestow that office on a man who was at feud wilh ono of his neigbors, and so the choice fell upfcn a licber peasant, although he, instead of one euemy, had at least half adozen. In bis own house, loo, Caspar had daily fresh vexa¬ tions to endure. His wife reproached him with hia obstinacy, saying she had never seriously intended him to build on that damp apot by the river.   His children, in whose hearts the seeds

of hatred had been eariy sown, had learned, whilst playing tricks on their uncle, to despise the parents who connived at their misconduct. The elder sons and daughters looked upon their father and mother as the cauae of their losing their uncle's rich inheritance ; and Anna, aban¬ doned by suitors, had not a good word left for her parents. The curse of hatred was upon the whole family, and Caspar, as he followed his oxen across his fields, would often aay to himself—'Were I but three years younger, I well know what I would do. But since this has lasted three years, it must last till my death.' And thereupon! be atruck the goad aa sharply into the oxen that they sprung aside, and the furrow went askew.
A hard winter came. In January and Feb¬ ruary it snowed incosBantly ; at night it froze, and the snow remained on the ground. Upon tbe Lower Rhine the ibaw was looked lorward to with much uneasiness. Maroh was well ad¬ vanced before it oame; then the vane sudden¬ ly swung round from north to south-west, and in a single day the black earlb everywhere pierced through ita snowy covering. The Rhine rose, and a terrible flood was to be apprehend¬ ed, if the ihaw were as sudden and lasting in the mountains as in the lowlands. Had there hut been a proper dike made in the autumn !— Now it was too late; there was barely time to think of a make-shift. Caspar's stubborn mood yielded to his anxiety for his wife, children and home. Without again asking or wailing for his brother's help, he replaced the demolished rampart by a row of large fir stems, set deep in the ground, and filled up lhe intervals with strong wicker-work, ao as to break tho force of the flood. He thus made sure of time to save et leaat the most valuable of hia goods.
The river rose higher and higher; Caspar took away his wife and children in a boat; the water waa up to the second floor. He himself still remained in the dangeroua bnilding, like the captain of a ship, sticking to his wrecked vessel till it sinks. His fir-tree barricade held together famously, and he strengthened it with a great barn-door, which he managed to fix against the weakest part of the wicker-work parapet. This increased lhe value ofhis break¬ water, and further protected the house from the force of the flood. At limes when the eddies were unuaually violent, the fir-trees bent and cracked, as though they would havo given way ; but their elaalicily preserved ihem, and again they righted themselves. If ihe river did not furiher increaae—and at leaat the rise aeemed to have discontinued—the house was saved.
But one evening dark clouds overapread the sky—a airong wind blew from the weat, and drove the waves over towards tho village. The rain fell in torrents, the river rose two feet an hour, and the water began to cHmb the walls of Zebulon's house. Zebulon lay down in his clothes upon the bed on bis upper fioor. His house had never yet been endangered by the floods; so he had not thought of leaving it, and had not even provided a boat; and although his brolher, also blockaded in his fortress, had a skiff moored to his window, he had no mind to ask hia assistance. But, in fsict, he was no- wiae anxious, for he relied upon the "strength of his house. Ho kept a lamp* burning and reada volume of sermons.
Suddenly, however, Zebulon saw the. water bubble up between the boards of the floor like a mountain stream in the early spring. His hair bristled with terror; ha looked around and saw the invading element gush iu over the threshold of the room. He jumped up and opened the door, and was almost carried offhis legs by the torrent that entered; andherdly bad he tiiiie to get upon his. table when the wa¬ ter was lovel wiih the window alll. A fright¬ ful death stared him in the face; if the water rose to the top of the window;!,1iB inuBt be drown- edoritified.

andvont, and'reached Up-to' hli breast.-- On .this side' there-wa» no chance oit:Tescue>but On the sids of the river a faititfaope remained. Close to the window-shutter stood one of the spiteful poplars. He waded to hts bed, rolled up adry:blanket ahd secured it round his neck. Then he climbed caotiously upon the window- ledge; the poplar stood firm,'and ^ stom branch offered itself to his hand. At a short distance he disiinguished the roof of his brother's houae, still above water. He saw Caspar, wiih a lan¬ tern in his hand, getting out of'the top window into a boat I he called to bim, but so great was the uproar that it was imposaible he should be heard.; With great exertion, Caspar pulled hia boat under the lee of ihe break-water; whilst Zebulon climed up his poplar as high as its branchea would boar hira, and waited for day¬ light and succor. To his great joy, he present¬ ly observed, that the water was falling os fast as it had risen i it waa aoon below the window throngh which he had passed, and he began to think of abandoning his uncomfortable refuge, and re-entering the room. Whilst congratula¬ ting himaelf on his escape, and just as day be- gan to dawn, the wind again roso^nd blew in short but violent gnats. Again the river rolled more >yildly, and the poplars swayed to and fro. Zebulon waa on the very point of effecting a retreat ihrough hia .window, when be beard a terrible crash proceed from the breakwater.— The roof of his brother'a house sank splashing into the fiood ; and in the whirl of waters that ensued, the strong poplar tree to which he bad clung was twisted round and round, as thongh it bad been but a sapling, until its branchea, and even its lopmost spray, were at times sub¬ merged. Like the tree, Zebulon was fain to yield to the blast; now under water, now whirled dripping through the air, he claaped his poplar in a desperate embrace. Suddenly he experienced a violent shuck; the branch lo which he trusted seemed to hurl him from it, and be fell heavily upon aomelhing hard.— stunned and bewildered, and with the blood streaming from his nose, he felt himself borne rapidly down stream. On recovering his senses sufficiently to look around him, he found that he was lying upon tbe great barn-door which bad formed port of the breakwater. At ths other end of the door aat a man, and that man wu his brother Caspar.
When Caspar warned by the rocking of the walls, abandoned his house, ha dared not row toward the village, lost in the darknejs he sbould strike against a tree, or bo overwhelmed by the rush of waters. Ho succeeded in resching the breakwater, which still aiood firm. There he lay at anchor sheltered from the storm, and with lhe force of the flood broken. But when towards morning, those violent gusts of wind occurred they drove the waves directly against the barricade ; after a few shocks, four of ihe fir trees wero literally washed out of the ground, and the breach thua made was instanily followed by the demolition of the entire fabric. The heavy barn-door, broken from its fasten¬ ings, fell wiihin a few inches of Caspar's head and knocked his frail bark to Bplinieis, whilst he, as sole chance of salvation, scrambled upon the door. The flood now unimpeded roared down against hia house, whose destruction he witnessed ; and it was while he waa whirled in the vortex occasioned by its fall ihat Zebulon, shaken from hia tree, fell upon the door. Up¬ on beholding a man thus suddenly thrown on his raft, Caspar'a first impnlso waa lo push him off, lest the weight of two peraons should be more thun it would bear. But his betier feel¬ inga quickly banished the thought; and when by the gray twilight he recognized his brother, he contented himself with getting as far from bim as possible. So aat the pair, each at his own exlremity of the door, which drove down stream wiih terrible speed.
Daylight brought little consolation to the house-wrecked voyagers. The clouds cleared eway and the- atorm was stilled; but on all sides a vast expense of troubled waters strew¬ ed wilh furniture, uprooted treea and carcassea of cattle, offered itself to their view. Boats dared not venture into the furious curreni; if al times their door was borne near the bank* the people who aaw it were either afraid, or loo occupied with their own loasss to aitempt the rescue of the brothers. Scarcely a minute pass- ed that they were not threatened with death, by the violent contact of their crazy raft wiih floating timber, or with the trees which seem¬ ed, eince tbe flood, to grow in the bed of the stream. To add to their miseries the wind chopped round to the north, and blew icy-cold through their wet cloihes. Zebulon took the blanket which he had fastened round his neck, unfolded and wrapped it around him. But even with this covering, his teeth chattered for cold
In that hour of suffering and groat danger, many a good old saying ahout Christian for¬ giveness and brotherly love came from Zebu- Ion's head, and pressed hard upon his consci¬ ence. But, juat as his heart began to aoften, he thought of the pleaaant view out of his up. per windows, which his brother's houso had in¬ tercepted ; and he thought of his aister-in-law; and above all, the day of Lizzy's wedding re¬ curred to his memory, and then his heart be¬ came hardened as before..
Caspar was still more troubled in his con¬ science, and he muttered to himself one prayer after another. The cold was intenae, and eve¬ ry moment he was more and more benumbed. Suddenly it occurred to him, that juat before he got into the boat, he had put a flask of spiriis into his pocket in case of need. He felt for it, and behold there it was, well corked and unbroken. He took a famoua pull at it, and his blood circulated more freely, and his eyes sparkled. At sight of this, poor Zwbulon's teeth chattered worse than ever. Caspar per¬ ceived it, and quite alowly, aa ihough he count¬ ed his words, he said to his brother : * Zebulon, wilt you take a pull 7' Tbe tailor's countenance brlghtened-at the other; bis need was too great, his stubborn spirit waa brokon, and a whispered ' yea' escap¬ ed from his set teeth. Caspar crept cautiously to the middle of the door, and Zebulon as cau¬ tiously to meet him; for they dared not attempt to stand up, lest they should capsize the raft. The one offered the flask; the other received it, and took a deep draught. But with return¬ ing warmth their ancient apite revived. Zebulon gave back lhe boltle, aaid, * I thank you ;' and lurned his back upon Caspar, to reaume his piece at tho end of the door.
For another hour lhe two men were hurried along; the aun shone brightly, and nature calmed herself after her recent convulsion.— Caspar, worn out by the fatigues of the lest few days and nights, conld not keep himself awake, and his head nodded lo and fro, Zebu¬ lon saw his brother's danger, and this lime be spoka firat. 'Caspar,' he aaid, Mie down and sleep, or you will drown mo; I will keep watch» and awake you if anything happens.'
Caspar did not need to be told twice, but let himself fall forward, laid hia head upon his arms, and began to anore. Zebulon crept soft¬ ly towards him, took off the blanket, which was now dry, and laid it carefully over bis brother.
Another hour passed, and Zebulon perceived that lheir progresa became loaa rapid. He look¬ ed around him,- and uttered an exclamation of heartfelt joy. They had reached a place where the stream look a bend to the right, and by aome accident their raft had got out of the main current, and waa driven through calmer water towards a black Ime, which looked like a bank. Whan Zebulon had noticed all tbis, he awoke his brother. Caspar sat up and stretch¬ ed hiraself. *I know the place/ he said.— 'Yonder black line is a dam, in fi'ont of which we shall find still water; if we' can but reach it, a walk along its summit will take us to shore/ . Iii their joy at:this proapect of deliver- ande/itbey toot another drain; and Caapar gave back the blanket to his. brother, aod con¬ tinued to W0tch.:the conrse of their rafc.-
* How is it,'he suddenly exclaimed, «that we advance so fast, and our speed aeems to in¬ orease—it that be-indeed a dam ?' •  ^*'°"'**his 'oetyahd.shadiaghiB eyes with his liBuias, looked's^iply^i^^^ After

"And so it was. More swiftly than any steam¬ boat they shot along to the. narrow, rent in the dike,'through which the water poured.with'the force of a cataract, and against whose ragged sides the door must inevitably bo dashed to pieces. 'Three minutes inore/ groaned Cas¬ par, falling on hia knees, like a criminal before' the block—* ay, in three mmutss, alljaover-*
Btit Zebulon averted hia eyes from the broken dike, and'Sxed them upoii Caspar. * Brother' he said, ih aloudflrmtone, f are we to appear as enemies before the judgment seat of God?' Then Caspar's heart melted, and exclaiming * Brolher, forgive me 1* he threw himaelf into Zebulon's arms. For lbe first, time in fouir years, the two men felt their hearts glow towards each other wilh the warmth of broths erly love. Tears of joy and affection'rolled down.lheir cheeke, and on the verge of death thoy were happier than tbey long had been in lheir diauntied and vindictive existence.
A roar of watera, and the violent agitation of their raft, put an end to the close enibrace in which for upwards of a minute they had beld each other.' In expectation of instant death, both looked towards the dike. But no dike was there. Bewildered wilh surprise, they turned their heads, and behold I it was behind ihem.— In the moment of their reconciliiition, ihey httd passed unharmed through the very jaws of death. The door upon which they kneli, and which appealed at least as wide as tho open- iug in the dike, had passed through it, by a seeming miracle, without striking either right or left. They were saved; at a short distance before them lay the land, towards which the subsiding waves were now gently floating them. Yet a few, minutea, and their raft wa^ aground on the slope of an inundated fleld.
Arm in arm went the brothers to the nearest village, where they dried their olothes and ob¬ tained food. Gladly would they have rested there a night, but tbey thought of the anxiety of Caspar's wife and children. Caspar sold hia barn door, Zebulon his blanket; and this, wiih some little money they had in their pockets, fur¬ nished funds for tbe journey. All the roads near the river were flooded ; they had to raake a circuit over the raoumains, and the distance they had floated in six hours was a three days' march on foot. But the three days seemed shorter to lhem than the six hours; for in those three days' inlimate communion, they went over all that had occurred to them in the pre" vtoua four years; old feelinga of kindness, and mutual dependence resumed their away, and they Jaid plans of fniure happiness for both.— In the last town they passed through, Zebulon stopped at a notary's, and destroyed a will he had lying there.
Late upon the third evening thcy reached their home. The river waa sinking fast, the poplars with their double wall, and the new house which bad been ihe apple of discord, had disappeared, and left no trace of their existence. Caspar lingered a little in tlie rear ; Zebulon stole softly round the corner of hia house, which atood firm and nninjnred. His sister-in-law, surrounded by her children, sat iu a deapairing attitude upon the site of her former dwelling, whence the waves bad but laiely retired.— Pray for your father,* Zebulon heard her say ; for here the fiood swept him away; and pray also,' ahe added to her elder children, * for your mother, for she was tho cause both of his death and of that of your [lOor uncle Zebulon.*
'Not of mine,' cried Zebulon, stepping for¬ ward. The children, forgetting old quarrels, flocked around him. ' And becauae you,si9ter, are sorry for what is past, God is merciful to you, and suffers Zebulon, whom you were re¬ gretting, to brln* back your husband to your arms.'
Aa he spoke, Caapar atood by his aide, and the joyful woman threw an arm around each. Then said Zebulon—* Frienda, we have had a famous lesson these four years past; and truly, if it bad lasted four yeara longer, we might have found ourselves reduced to a beggar's itaff. But let that be all bygone and forgotten. To-morrow we will begin to build a new dike. Of a new houso you have no need. Come back and live with ine. All that ia mine is yours and your children's.'

A darling had onco blossotuoJ on the eartb, A mother watched it with her hopes and fears,
And thanking God for giving her its birth, liathed ita aoft petals daily with her teora.
A cool light breeze waa stirring in tho corn. And down tho valley gleamed the villago apiro,
rhe birds song sweet on that fair Sabbath morn, Yet 3weotcr stili sang out the village choir.
Tho mother boro her offspring up the aisle. And with its sponsora round the niter etood,
How beautifully calm life's sunniest smile Receives the drops of its baptismal flood!
O holiest-hour—tbis earthly toato of heaven .' A mothor'a teare are ahed anew for thae,
For she returned to God what he has given. And trembling prays that He'll its guardian be.
At earliest dawn, aod at the close of day. She'll teach its littlo hands to fold in prayer.
And gently lead it in that pleasant way, Thnt points us heavenward through apurar air.

To traco thcir wild path throngh the Iielda of the fiky, 'Tia the fount whera the wing of the moming ia dipt.
When the dew bluBhos bright as its pinions uU' fold;  , And it flows till the shadows of evening aro tipt
Wilh a Paradise splendor of crimsou and gold.
My Neit, in tho autuinn daya, sunny and soft,
Oft gleams in the sky Uke a silver)' star; And it Hoema, as it floata ou the zephyr aloft,
Aa a fairy eashrincd in her gossamer car. Thongh tho eye may not trace whero it rests on tho check. While the blush mantlea up till it rivals the rose, Yet ah! there's a test that tho tongue may not ppeak, Thoueh tho lip might tho tale of ita softness dia cloao.
My Whole calls the toiling to quiot and reat.
And htiahes ths voices of gladness and glee. When tho day sinks behind the broad hills of tho weat,
To light up ths face of tho isles of the sea. 'Tis a halo of glory that folia on the apire,
When the sunbeam no longer mav gladden ihe dell, And the brow of tho mountain grows ruddy as Gre,
As it gives its laat kias whan it whispers farewell.
