LITTLE ALICE'S BIRTH-DAY HYMN.
Another birth-day, Lord, I see;

How very thankful I should be!
I thank Thee for each mercy shown
Throughout the
year that now has flown.

LITTLE ALICE'S BIRTH-DAY HYMN.

A birth-day gift I humbly claim
(I ask it in the Saviour's name)-
Thy Holy Spirit let it be,

Oh, may it now descend on me!

Fill my young heart with light and love,
Fixing my hopes on things above;
And on this birth-day visit me,

That I may give myself to Thee!

MY BABY BROTHER.

Let me come and kiss the baby,
On his little lips, like this;
I am sure I shall not wake him
By one soft and gentle kiss.

How I love to see him smiling,
Pretty little baby boy!

When his merry eyes are glancing,
And he clasps his hands for joy.

MY BABY BROTHER.

When he grows a little older,

And can run about with me,
I will play with him so gently,
And will watch him carefully.

Lord, look down with grace and pity,
Little children are Thy care;

Through this world of fear and danger,
Both of us to glory bear.

THE MOUNTAIN RILL.

How pleasant, on a sunny day,

To rest beside the brook, And watch the ripples, as they play, Down in some shady nook.

To drink the clear cool water, as

It busily flows by;

Or, stretched upon the pleasant grass,

To

gaze into the sky.
