The clear, cool water that fills its bed, "" And speeds with a rippling sowgj To the ocean far ahead. - What makes a beautiful mind ? . . , " The sweet, pure thoughts that, mingle there, And blissfully to memory's sea- ._ They — an endless prayer. / - — ' Avp, Maria.' \ ''-- ; •" * A new light in our heart makes an occasion ; but an occasion is an opportunity, not-for~ {building a tabernacle, and feeling thankful, and looking back to ~ a blessed memory, but for shedding thef new light - \on-. the o|d paith, and doing old duties vfitth new inspiration.
