RECONCILIATION.
I saw of late one running here and there About tile world, who beat his breast and cried, " 0 God, art Thou dethroned, and dost Thou - hide, AH impotent, in his infernal lair Who now, mes'eems, Thy Godhood seeks to wear And Thy just laws in scorn to over-ride, Beßtowing pain where joy should moßt abide, And cursing Innocence with Hell's despair? Then saw I later one of ordered mien, With meekest dignity he passed along. And said (as to a friend at his right hand), " Foolish my cries, who ne'er of pain had seen The heart divine,-0 Lord, forgive the wrong; Now have I suffered, and now understand. May 1893. -Wm. Ga*
