1. WHATEVER brawls disturb the street,
There should be peace at home,
Where sisters dwell, and brothers meet,
Quarrels should never come.

2. Birds in their little nests agree,
And 't is a shameful sight

When children of one family

Fall out, and chide, and fight.

3. Hard names at first, and threatening words, That are but noisy breath,

May grow to clubs and naked swords,
To murder and to death.

4. The wise will make their anger cool,
At least before 't is night;

But in the bosom of a fool

It burns till morning light.

5. Pardon, O Lord, our childish rage,
Our little brawls remove,

That, as we grow to riper age,
Our hearts may be all love.

1. WHENE'ER I take my walks abroad,
How many poor I see;
What shall I render to my God
For all his gifts to me?

2. Not more than others I deserve,
Yet God hath given me more,
For I have food while others starve,
Or beg from door to door.

3. How many children in the street
Half naked I behold,

While I am clothed from head to feet,
And covered from the cold.

445

4. While some poor wretches scarce can tell
Where they may lay their head,
I have a home wherein to dwell,
And rest upon my bed.

5. While others early learn to swear,
And curse, and lie and steal,
Lord, I am taught Thy name to fear,
And do Thy holy will.

6. Are these Thy favors day by day,
To me above the rest,

Then let me love Thee more than they,
And try to serve Thee best.

1373. C. M.

WATTS.

1. WHAT blessed examples do I find
Writ in the word of truth,
Of children that began to mind
Religion in their youth.

2. Jesus who reigns above the sky,
And keeps the world in awe,
Once was a child as young as I,
And kept his Father's law.

3. At twelve years old he talked with men-
The Jews in wonder stand,
Yet he obeyed his mother then,
And came at her command.

4. Children a sweet hosanna sung,

And blest their Saviour's name;
They gave him honor with their tongue,
While scribes and priests blaspheme.

5. Then why should I so long delay
What others learn so soon;

I would not pass another day,
Without this work begun.

1374. C. M.

WATTS.

1. WE miss thee in thy place at school,
And on thy homeward way,
Where violets by the recdy pool,
Peep out so shyly gay.

2. And many a tearful, longing look
In silence seeks thee yet,
Where, in its own familiar nook,
Thy fireside chair is set.

3. And oft, when little voices dim
Are feeling for the note

In chanted prayer, or psalm, or hymn,
And wav'ring wildly float-

4. Comes gushing o'er a sudden thought Of her who led the strain,

How oft, such music home she brought,
But ne'er shall bring again.

5. O say not so! the spring-tide air

Is fraught with whisperings sweet, Who knows, but heavenly carols there With ours may duly meet?
