PEACE AND LOVE.

Let dogs delight to bark and bite,
For God has made them so;
Let bears and lions growl and fight,
For 'tis their nature to.

But, children, you should never let
Your angry passions rise;
Your little hands were never made
To tear each other's eyes.

Let love through all your actions run,
And all your words be mild;
Live like God's well-beloved Son,
That sweet and lovely Child.

The Lord of all, who reigns above,
Does from his heavenly throne
Behold what children dwell in love,
And marks them for his own.

THE CHILD'S DESIRE.

I think, when I read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men,

How he called little children as lambs to his fold,
I should like to have been with them then.

I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, That his arms had been thrown around me,

And that I might have seen his kind look when he said,

“Let the little ones come unto me.”

Ι

But still to his footstool in prayer I may go,

And ask for a share in his love;

And if I thus earnestly seek him below,

I shall see him and hear him above,

In that beautiful place he has gone to prepare
For all that are washed and forgiven ;
And many dear children are gathering there,
"For of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Review.--Where was Christ born? How many years ago? What did he say when the children were brought to him?

THE BLUEBIRD.

I know the song that the bluebird is singing
Out in the apple tree where he is swinging;

Brave little fellow! The skies may be dreary;
Nothing cares he while his heart is so cheery.

Hark! how the music leaps out from his throat!
Hark! was there ever so merry a note?
Listen a while and you'll hear what he's saying,
Up in the apple tree swinging and swaying.

66 Dear little blossoms down under the snow,
You must be weary of winter, I know;
Hark! while I sing you a message of cheer:
Summer is coming, and spring-time is here.

Little white snowdrop, I pray you arise;

Bright yellow crocus, come open your eyes;
Sweet little violets hid from the cold,
Put on your mantles of purple and gold;
Daffodils, daffodils! say, do you hear?
Summer is coming, and spring-time is here."
