THE LORD WILL PROVIDE. _

How sweet is the promise,
Whatever betide,

In dungeon or palace,
The Lord wall provide

When weary I lay me
At evening to rest,
Life's sorrows and troubles
Are shut from the breast,
As [ feel his sweet presence
Who watches to guide
Whose eyes never slumber—
The Lord will provide,

When tne foul tongue of slander
Tts venom throws out,

And scatters the poison
Profusely ubout—

All pointless and harmless
It falls by my side:

The tifth is my buckle
The Lord will previde.

When TI rest where the shadow
OF poverty falls,

And the frosts leap in flereely
On the dark, gloomy walls—
Though with fustings Vin weary,

Tn pence TL abida,
Vor L know on the morrow
The Lord will provide.

O, sweet is the promise,
Whatever betide,

In trouble or trial
The Lord will provide.

September 10, 1868,

when I say, that my first thought was the |
sagacity of my faithful animal Vino, Well, |
you may laugh it you like, but she never,
did deceive me ind never will; I feel as}
sure of it as I feel Mleayen’s aid is around |
me at this moment.

Satistied that all was well with the team-
ster, as | could hear the tinkle, tinkle of
the cattle bells still, IT lay down in my
clothes to saatch a few hours of as sound}
asleep as I ever enjoyed. We are used
to it, you see, And the certainty that 1)
had fairly got hold of the right end ot a}
chain that would give me credit with my
superior, caused me to sleep well, The
sun was but barely up, however, when
arose and hastened a look at things ort
side,

The bar was open, and the woman, as}
quite seeming as ever, was attending to
ringements init, Lhe team-
ster was busily yoking up his cattle with
the same quiet and listless manner L had
observed the night before, and, hastily
giving the bar-woman a hint to let me have
iny breakfast immediately, L went to’ look
after Vino,

While I was eating my breakfast, T heard
the loud crack of a driver's whip, and the
rumbling of the rough conveyance con-
yinced me that he was off. Vhis,however,
gave me no concern; for it was fav from
iny intention to let him perceive that [was
about to return by almost the same track
[had arrived on the previous evening. 1!
Was most anxious of conrse, to avoid ex-!}

in the distiuuce, and even the rattle of the

spot near a waterhole, and was about un:
yoking his cattle once more, Alighting, I
left Vino to graze quietly—she was too
well trained to stray far aw and then
stole cautiously nearer, and seated myself
under «close bush to resume iny watch.]1
[ was anxious about that little parcel hej"

ever. As soon as his cattle were turned
out, he commenced to examine one of hist
