A SUMMER'S EVENING.
The hush of summer twilight now broods o'er the town, The dusk obscures the landscape, tho' stars twinkle down. The day of Sabbath calm draweth to a close; Soon all will be enwrapp'd with intense repose. The'river's placid waters, glistening here and there, , Induce all Nature's daughters to view their image fair. Along each grassy lane loving couples walk. Confiding and joyous, with hushed, secret talk. . Flar, far above the town, in majesty on high, •Spangled heavens lock down thro' vast infinity. BenftP.th that mighty dome many a human breast Long 3 for the time to come for the eternal rest. 'When troubles all shall cease, and Eorrow flee away, The wearv soul find peace, the spirit leave the clay— The tired leave this earth for that vast Unknown., Who r»los, in cmoious majesty, alone — The wondrous Unknown God, Father of all thing?, chastens rebel ssouls, tho' he ever brings Hop* that springs •eternal, Love that cannot die, — Bidding thoughts infernal to forever fly. —Wai/teb Scott. Opotiki, New Zealand.
