re but as a part
Of Thee, thy life repeating!
Soul of the earth, thy sanctity impart
Where human souls are meeting!

Bright as the first faint beam in mercy shewn
Unto the barren-sighted,
Where, on the yet unbroken darkness thrown,
A sunny ray hath lighted,
The glory of thy presence streameth down
On us, the world-benighted.

To us the shadow of the earth is given,
And ours the lower cloud;
But though along its pathways tempest-driven,
Our hearts shall not be bowed,
While yet our eyes unto the stars of heaven
We lift, and pray aloud!

Not with the prayers of long ago we pray,
With red raised hand beseeching--
Not with the war-voice of our elder clay,
With the mammoth's bones now bleaching--
Not for the mortal victories of a day,
But--for the Spirit's teaching!

Be Words of Light alone our javelins hurled,
While Truth wings every dart:
Oh, welcome, then, the legions of a world!--
But ours no warrior's part;
The ensigns we would bear are passions furled--
Love, and a child's young heart!

ART-EDUCATION OF CHILDREN.

Let us here mention, that we have found the children of the sovereign
of Great Britain at nine in the morning at the Museum of Practical
Art; and on another occasion, at the same hour, amidst the Elgin
marbles--not the only wise hint to the mothers of England to be found
in the highest place. Accustom your children to find beauty in
goodness, and goodness in beauty.--_The Builder._
