WEALTH UNTOLD.
Seek your treasures and you'll find It exists but in the mind. Wealth is but the power that hires Blessings that the heart desires ; And if these are mine to hold Independently of gold, And the gifts it can bestow. I am richer than I know ! Rich am I if when i pass ' Mid the daisies on the grass, EVety daisy in my sight Seems aJeWdl of delight ! Rich am I if I can see Treasure in the flower and tree, And can hear 'mid forest leaves Music in the surn.ner eves ; If the lark that tings aloud, On the fringes of the cloud, Scatters melodies around Fresh as raifidiops on the ground, And I bless the hsppy bird. For the the joy it has conferred. "~ — -__ If the tide upon the shore Chant me antheme ever more ; Ana I feel in every mood That life is fair and God is good I am rich if I possess Such a fund of happiness. And can find wheie er I stray Humble blessings on the way. And deserve them e'er they're given By my gratitude to heaven. — Chambers' Journal.
