The noblest work is often done by the weakest hands—by those whose courage is redoubled by pain and misfortune.
MY GARDEN.
HAVE a little Garden
Where many flowers are seen;
Bright lilies bend beside the walks
And daisies in the green.
There pansies grow and tulips,
And many a lovely flower;
They blossom in my Garden,
And give me joy each hour.
I have another Garden
That I must tend with care,
And fill with lovely growing things,
Lest weeds should gather there.
May sweetness, kindness, mercy,
And joy be in each part;
To grace this other Garden,
The Garden of my heart.
THE MUSIC OF THE NATIONS.
X.—THE MARIMBAS OF ZULULAND, GUATEMALA, AND COSTA RICA.
HE Zulus, or more correctly the Amazulus, take the front rank amongst the native tribes of the African continent. Their code of laws, military arrangements, and orderly settlements resemble those of civilised nations at many points.
