SELECTED POETRY.

GOOD IN ALL.

BT B. W. WILCOX.

Oo the river of life, as I float alone, 1 see witb the spirit's sight Tbat many a nauseous weed of wrong Has root in a seed of right. For evil is good that has gone astray, &.nd sorrow is only blindness, And the world is always under the sway . Of a changeless law of kindness.

The commonest error that truth can make Is shouting its sweet voice hoarse, And sin is only the soul's mistake In misdirecting its force. And love, the fairest of all fair things That ever to man descended. Grows rank with, nettles and poisonous Unless it is watched and tended.

There could not be anything better than this Old world in the way it began, And though some matters hare gone amiss From the great original plan, And however dark the skies may appear And however souls may blunder, I tell it will all work out clear For good Hea over and under.
