Then , if thou wilt silent be , Thou shalt hear heaven ' s minstrelsy , As sweet Mercy pleads for thee ; Silence keep ! Silent as the flowers that sleep In a midnight silence deep , Silent as the tears you weep ; Silence keep . B . E .

LOVE , RELIEF , AND TRUTH .

The rich man's gaze is scanning His broad and fertile fields , AVhen the stranger girl approaches , Aud her timid homage yields . Her simple tale she's telling To a land and listening ear , And his gentle eye is welling AA'ith Pity's kindred tear .
AA'hen evening shades were fulling , And the sun's declining beam Hacl pressed his last ancl lingering kiss On mountain , dale , and stream , Naomi ' s heart was gladdened By her daughter's cheerful voice , AA'ho bade the clouds of grief disperse ,
And her weary heart rejoice . The night of gloom had vanished , And a brighter dawn arose Upon the widow's lonely lot , And soothed her many woes . Prom the kindness shown by Boaz , Prom tbe sufferings long of Bntb , Sprung the Mason's ancient landmarks Of Lore , Relief , and Truth . I . F . Friend . Scorns
