FRIENDLY COUNSEL
CONSECRATED SPIRIT. It is not merely the multiplicity of tints, the gladness of tone, or the balminess of the air which delight in the spring; it is the still consecrated spirit of hope, the prophecy of happy days yet to come; the endless variety of nature, with presentiments of eternal flowers which never shall fade, and sympathy with the blessedness of the ever-developing world. —Novalis. * -x- -x- * Blessed Hope! like a star on the,darkness of ocean, Still gleam o’er the track where our destinies tend, And guide our frail hearts from this sea of commotion, To havens of peace where our sorrows will end. How blessed the sacred tie that binds In union sweet according minds! Anne Letita Barbauld.
