The Exemplary Wife.

O BLEST is be whose arms enfold
A consort virtuous as fair!

Her price is far above the gold
That worldly spirits love to share.
On her, as on a beauteous isle,
Amid life's dark and stormy sea,
In all his trouble, all his toil,

He rests with deep security.

Even in the night-watch, dark and lone,
The distaff fills her busy hand;
Her husband in the gates is known
Among the elders of the land;
Her household all delight to share

The food and raiment she bestows-
Ever she with a parent's care

Regards their weakness and their woes.

Her pitying hand supplies the poor,

The widowed one, the orphan child, Like birds assembled round her door,

1

When sweeps the winter tempest wild.
Her lips, with love and wisdom fraught,
Drop, like the honeycomb, their sweets;
The young are by her dictates taught,
The mourner her condolence meets.

Her lovely babes around her rise-
Fair scions of a holy stem!
And deeply shall her bosom prize

The blessings she receives from them.

Beauty is vain as summer bloom
To which a transient fate is given;
But hers awaits a lasting doom

In the eternal bowers of heaven.

The Law of Love.

BLESSED is the man whose softening heart

Feels all another's pain;

To whom the supplicating eye

Was never raised in vain :

Whose breast expands with generous warmth,

A stranger's woes to feel;

And bleeds in pity o'er the wound

He wants the power to heal.

He spreads his kind, supporting arms,

To every child of grief;

His secret bounty largely flows,

And brings unasked relief.

To gentle offices of love

His feet are never slow;

He views, through mercy's melting eye,

A brother in a foe.

To him protection shall be shown,

And mercy from above

Descends on those who thus fulfill

The perfect law of love.
