THE PRAYER OF FAITH. "Mr name!—J caugnt the sound! Oh blessed tone of love-the deep, the mild- Mother, my mot: er! now receive thy child, Take back the lost and found ?"-MBI. HE*i*«. THE prayer of Faith-unswerving Faith Was never poured in vain In Heaven it ever hath prevailed, And shall prevail again. A widow loved an only son, Her fond heart's early joy; But she was called to part with him, When yet a tender boy. The father perished in the deep, Yet must the son again, His dilly bread and fortune seek Upoa the treacherous main. His mother, when they parted, pressed Warm kisses on Hi's cheek; And wept in supplicating tears, 1 he prayer tie could not speak. Pray*r C3nta'ned one only wish— That Haven would shield her son, And \ù her arms again restore Per loved, her darliug one. Summer and winter came and went, And years had rolled awav The child returned not-yet that prayer Ascended day by day. The widow's cheeks are wan with years. Her weeping eyes are dim Aias they now can weep no more One burning tear for him. In grey old age outstretched she lies Upon the scanty bed No relatives sround her press, Her early friends are dead. Still has she not forgot the prayer She wept above her child, Whose oft-repeated burden too Has all her life beguiled. Unheard, she breathes in secret sighs, The unremitted strain Her lips are parched she may not plead — Her cause III words again. aut 10! at length beside her couch A stranger form has come, Tis he J the son of ceaseles prayers I He4vto brought the wanderer home. moment compensation brought j?or all her sorrows past, And. from the bosom of her child, i She rose to Heaven at last. The prayer of Fai th- unswerving Faith, Was never made In vain In Heaven it ever hath prevailed, And shall prevail again. Hill»*reet, Newport. LEON.
