Its words
Are few, but deep and solemn, and they break
Fresh from the fount Of feeling Perciuol.

From the Philadelphia Enquirer.


SPEAK GENTLY.
Speak gently lit is better far


To rule by love than fear
Speak gently-let not harsh words mar
The good we might do here!
Speak gently love doth whisper low
The vows that true hearts bind
And gently friendships accents flow;
Affections voice is kind.
Speak gently to the little child


Its love be sure to gain;
Teach it in accents soft and mild -
II may not long remain.
Speak gently to the young, for they
Will have enough to bear
Pass through this life as best they may,
lis full OF anxious care
Speak gently to the aged one,


Grleve not the care-worn heart,
The sands Of life are nearly run,
Let such in peace depart!
Speak gently, kindly, to the poor
Let no harsh tone be heard;
They have enough they must endure,
Without an unkind word!
Speak gently to the erring--know,
They may have toiled in vain /;
Perchance unkindness made them So
Oh, win them back again!
Speak gently HE who gave his life
To bend mans stubborn will,
When elements were in fierce strife,
Said to them, Peace, be STILL
Speak gently !--'tis little thing
Dropped in the hearts deep well;
The good, the Joy, which it may bring,
Eternity shall tell. 4
