or j. n. ii.
The midnight winds are sighing where
A lovely woman wtcps :
' A sinless child is bow'd in prayV
' While yet another sleeps.
But hark 1 he comes with touting tread
Along the lonely way j
For whom her briny tears are shed
Fo whom the child doth pray.
But comes he with his wonted vow '
I ' With kindness on his lip 1 '
4 And bends he with afTection now -
AThe honied kiss'to sip 1 - .-
' Do prattling babes his coming bless '
' 'With smiles serenely bright!
(Jr orings lie gills ot tenucriicss
To yield (hem more delight!
Ah.no! his arm is lifted high
To strike the cruel blow
Arid wrath is flashing from his eye
On her whose tears fast flow :
The babes he once so fondly press'd
Close to a father's heart
No 'more arc lovinglcaress'd
Btit now are bade depart.

And sadlv on her memoiy tells
The songs that from them fall.
But stay 'tis morning and the sun
From out his hiding creeps;
And he his labors hatli begun

' Dear favor'd land !
Thick clustering bounties llowinj' o'er thy plains
Beauteous as flowers that grace thy verdant hills
Fragrant as odors breathed from flora's vale
Broad as thy prairies waving in the breeze
Rich as thy soil in full profusion clothed t
Who filled thv stores with plenty corn and oil 1
Who stor'd thy 'hills with mines and precious ore 1
Who drew o'er all thv face a man whose lines
Are streams and rivers bordered wide with woods!
Who elad thy prairies hills niid shady ; meads
In verdant robes embroidered thick with flow'rs '
Whose lints arc various as the how and fair
And lovely as thegarden's brightest gem
Of mingled flowers'!
'Twas lie the Savior moved by love to man
'' (A'nd bent on kindness to the western realms
.With lavish hand outspread these vales
And bade the sun -and breeze and waters wide. .
Their powers unite to grace thee in their course!
Thus bless'd in .oil in air and beaming skies
In clouds and sunshine; in the rivers' low
I In corn and win: in vale and mountain favor'd;

And teachers sage and holy ministers
