MUSIC.
All other arts touch earth with drooping wings; The scene that on the pictured canvas
glows Is but the shadow which the sun-goi throws — The painted semblance of the soul 3of things. Baffled and sad, the toiling sculptor flings The steel aside that man the stone's repose. Inadequate the ibeauty to disclose That life from cc-ld, unlovely atoms brings But thou, 0 angel of the highest heaven, Companioning through trials' cleansing fires. Cheering each path our weary feet have trod. The palms of vrctory to tihee are given. Thou, 'midst the rapture of the seraph choirs, Unvedleet thy face before the throne of Godl. Sarah D. Hobart.
