Samaritan . — -The husbandman hath waited patiently for the early and the latter rain . Shall not we also wait patiently to know the will of the Lord ? Stranger . —Wait upon JehoVah ; but do also the work of Jehovah , under the laws which he hath given , and moved thereunto by thy faith . Hearken ! I was with the Prophet when he met one carried out to burial , and raised him up , so that he hath gone to and fro among us since . Let not thy faith be as the young man of Nain when he was indeed fair to look upon , but cold and still , and tending to decay . Let it rather be as the living man who glorifieth God , and showeth loving-kindness unto man . For , as the body without the spirit is dead , so faith without works is dead also .

A DREAM .

Methought I wander'd through a wilderness ; And many a turn , and many a devious way I traversed o ' , and many a form I met That , like myself , seem'd bent upon some end *• - Which still they found not . Ever and anon The tread of footsteps hurrying to and fro , The busy hum of voices in dispute . Throughout the maze , came sounding far and near : At last from out this dreary labyrinth We came upon a plain ;—in the centre stood A temple ; high in pillar'd pomp it rose ; So that mine eye did wonder to behold Such loftiness of marble majesty ! Towards this I hurried on—and many more , Differing in age , in station , and degree , Moved on by different paths across the plain . But all seem ' d hastening to one common end , —
To add themselves unto the gathering crowd , That like a troubled ocean heav'd and swell ' d Around the mighty temple ' s open gate : Still they increasing came , and still pour'd in , Wave after wave , and yet no overflow . I gain'd the thickening" throng . Anon there came A swarthy Oriental , by my side : He had a face whereon each passion wild Had deeply trac ' d its darkest character ; A snowy turban mock'd his sallow brow ; And , in return , his eye sent forth such rays As put to shame the flashing gems thatserv'd To fix its pliant folds : —beneath a vest Of bloody red , you saw his sanguine heart - Leap up against his glittering armed belt To claim a kindred with its native hue .
