Here all is excellence—all solid bliss,

And all of heaven that can be found below.

O, while I dwell a sojourner on earth,

With steadfast purpose may I walk with God!

And though I cannot shun the gates of death,

I soon shall triumph in immortal peace.

Joseph Jones.

WANDER.

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?—Psalm lvi. 8.
