'WHEN, from the sacred garden driven,

Man fled before his Maker's wrath,

An angel left her place in heaven,

And cross'd the wanderer's sunless path.
'Twas Art! sweet Art! new radiance broke
Where her light foot flew o'er the ground,
And thus with seraph voice she spoke :
'The curse a blessing shall be found.'"

Sprague.

"MAN, it is not thy works, which are mortal, infinitely little, and the greatest no greater than the least, but only the spirit thou workest in, that can have worth or continuance."-Carlyle.
