MY PSALM. 1
BY JOHN OREENLEAF WIIITTIER.
I mourn no more my vanished years; 1
Beneath a tender rain, |
An Anril rain of smiles and tears^ j
My neart is young again. j
The west winds blow, and, singing low, J
I hear tlie glad streams run ;
The windows of my soul I throw
Wide open to the sun. - i
1
No longer forward nor behind
I look in hone or fear; \
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here. I
i
I plough no more a desert land,
To harvest weed and tare ; f
The manna dropping from God's hand, j
Rebukes my painful care. i
I break my pilgrim staff, I lay 1
Aside the toiling oar; 1
The angel sought so far away (
I welcome at my door. J
The airs of Spring may never jpiay I
Among the ripening corn, I
Nor freshness of the flowers of May y
Blow through the Autumu morn
Yet shall ilie blue-eyed gentian look 8
Through fringed lids to .heaven, [
And the pale aster in the iivook
Shall see its image given.
The woods shall wear thei r robo of praise q
The south wind soitly sigh, ^
And sweet, calm clays, in gulden lvaze,
Melt down tlxe amber sky. C
Q
Not less slmll .manly deed and word t
Rebuke an age of wrong;
The graven flowers that wreath the ?
sword 3
Make not the blade less strong, ' v
But smiting hands shall.learn to heal f
To build as to destroy^ I
Nor less my heart for others feel, y
That I the mo;e enjoy.
All as God wills, who wisely beeds I
To give or to withold, l<
And knoweth more of all my needs j
Than al^ my prayers have told.
Enough that blessings undeseryed., 1
Have marked my erring track,? ^
That, whereso'er my feet have swerved, 1
His chastening turned me back. t
That more and more a Providence g
Of Love is understood,
Making the spring of time aud sense
Sweet with eternal good ; s
That death seems but a covered way ^
Which opens into light, * 1
Wherein no blinded,child can stray
Beyond the Fa there's sig^it; ' ' g
That care and trial seems at last, C
Through memory's sunset air,
Like mountain ranges over past, t
In purple distance fair;
' > c
Tligtall tlue jarriog n.otes of life fl
Seem blending in a psalm, t
And all the angels of its strife, ^
Slow rounding into culm.
And so the shadows fall apart, f
And so the west sj'inds play j
And all the windows of my neurit,
I open to the day. . g

I had just returned from two 1
years in Europe, an.d was sauntering
down Tfemojit street, J3oston, ^
in the golden September mornings s
when I saw my old friend Tom It
Booster get out of a horse car a few|
steps in advance of nie. lie was a ^
merry - hearted, practical fellow, ^
cleaivskiiiiied, an*J robust #? ap ^
Englishman, self-reliant, and enter- ^
prising as a New Hampshire birth
and J3o8toj> training could make
him. I always liked him ; but he
plunged into business and I into
study, and so, without meaning it, ^
we had almost lost sight of "each j?
other, lie was an only child; his
parents spent their summers at a
their homestead in Greenland, near 8
Portsmouth, and their winters ii) v
Boston. 2
As I said, I knew him in a mo- jment.
lie had grown tall and stout, *
but the boy was still in his face, and *
with a flush of early feeling, I f.:
sprang forward and caught him by *!
the arm. *
"Torn, how are 3*011?'' ^
lie looked puzzled for a moment, '"i
and then bursting into a laugh, he *
seized my hand in his grasp, and 1
exclaimed: ?
"Why, John Ralston! Is this
yr.u ? Where did you come from ?
I'm so glad to see you, my boy. ^
Why, 1 haven't set eyes 011 }-ou
since we made the trip to Nashant
in your Freshman year. The truth F
is, father was so poorly for a long c
time then that I had everything to a
see to, and ielt as if the world was a
on my shoulders; I did hear, ^
though, about your collcgc honors,
and your going to Germany, and [
I've often thought of you lately, \
and wished to see yon. Why, Jack, f
in spite of my weight, and your J|
benrd and broad shoulders, I can't ^
realize that teu years have gone ?
since we were at Exeter together. a
We must talk over olden times {
now. When did you get back, aud 1
what are your plans ?" 5
"I came back yesterday, and shall li
stay in the city, on account of busi- a
ness matter, until next Tuesday, d
Then I am going home.'' c
"Well, now, this is Saturday,and *
you can do nothing alter three -L
o'clock. Come and spend Sunday c
with me in the country. I want to l'
show you my wife." 0
"Your wife! are vou married P
Tom?" " . ^
"Married nearly a year," said lie, a
with a smilo.
"You don't look very solemn v
over it." a
"Solemn! It's tlie jolliest thing I s
ever did in my life. Meet me at I
the Eastern depot at four o'clock, c
and I'll tell you all about it on the n
way down." I
We parted at the Winter street s
corner?ho to his store, and I to'a
the Parker House. s
"IIow handsomo Boston liaejli
grown," said 1, glancing at tho finejn
buildings and the Common, beau- v
iful in the September sun. * ... i
"We think it a nice town," he s
eplied, speaking with the moderate
vorda and the perfect assurance of I
,he Bostonian, to whom this city is c
,he sum of all excellence and de- t
ight. "Remember four o'clock." 1
knd he disappeared in the crowd. 1
"Tom married!" I said to myself i
is I walked along. "I dare say its \
;o his father's pretty ward, Clara i
Vlaitland, whom I saw when I spent i
;he day there eleven years ago. I c
'emember what long curls she had, i
ind how fond she seemed of him. i
Zes,1 dare say it's to Clara. I hope,
;hough she hasn't grown for uoth- s
ng but to display the latebt fash- \
ons, waltz a little, and torture the
siano. Better some rosy, sturdv 1
German Gretchen tban a poor doll c
ike that. It would be a shame for 1
ioor Tom, with his physique and i
jrain, to be tied for life to such a <
voraan." t
And then turning down School 1
itrcet my thoughts wandered to a \
)lue-eyed girl I had loved for many <
13'ear?a girl who was not satisfied c
vith the small triumphs of the cro[uet
ground, but who could send ]
tn arrow home to the naa,rfc? and t
ould climb the hills with me* her
te^ .light and free as the deer's iu
he ffludes heJ?w. and hold a steadv 1
>ar iu our boat 011 the river, and c
wim ashore, if need be; and then, <1
vhen our walk was over, could sit v
lown to,aluucb.of cold meat and
?read and butter with an appetite
is keen as a young Indian's after a (
lunt; yes., and wbn knew bow to t
>e efficient in the kitchen, and the 1
arest ornament of the parlor, t
low impatient I was to see her, the t
switching maiden a prinoe might (
lave been proud to marry. And 1
igain I said to myself, as I went up
he Tarker House steps, "I do hope 1
rorn hasn't made a tool of him- f
elf." I
Fo.yr o'clock found me at the 1
tation; and a moment later in I
vnlked Tom, carrying a basket I
Lllod with Jersey peaches.
"They don't grow in Greenland,"
aid lie,.tucking the paper down
iver the fruit. '-Come this way."
"Now for the story, Tom," said
, as we crossed the bridge, and
aught the breeze cool from the
ea. "But I can guess beforehaud
he girl you married. It was Clara
klaitland."
A shadow passed .over Tom's
ace.
"Clara has been dead four years,"
aid he. "She inherited consumpion
from her mother. "We all did
iye^yth;ijg for her ? took.her to
Minnesota and Florida, but it was
>f no use. She did not live to see
ler eighteenth birthday."
"Poor Clara! She loved you
[early. Then I suppose yoy cji^se
ome Jiostoti girl of your acquamance
?"
"Jack, you couldn't tell who Mrs. 8
?om Foster was if you should try ^
rom now till morning. Ishalihave o
o enlighten you," and moving the y
asket to ope side, and seating him- s
elf iu his seat, he went on: 0
"You know I have the misfor- r
une to be an only child. After I I
,*as tweuty-one, father aud mother 1
egan to talk about my marrying, v
have plenty of cousins, you know, t
nd we always had young ladies t
;oing in and out of the house; but v
,-hile Clara lived she was company \
nough for me, and after she died I
was full of business, and didn't t
rouble myself about matrimony, c

aind and body. She looked very J
;ay in the evenings, attired in thej'
litest importations. But she was
lways late at breakfast; she didn't a
[are ride on horseback; she
ouldn't waflc without stopping to "
est on every stone; and once, wuen ;y
asked her if she had read the ac-'n

"A year ago this summer I was p
ery much confined to the store ;jq
nd when August came, instead of 8
pending the whole month at home, v
thought I would have a little p
hange; so I went down for a fort- il
ight to the Cliff house on the a
Seach. It was a quiet, pleasant re- s

"But Norton," said I, "isn'ttwre

"I doubt it," lie replied. <Tve

vould have plenty of help, and
jam twenty dollars where they now
jarri three.*
"Who's here from Greenland ?"
'asked, fori knew, something of
tlraost every one. in that place.
"Mary Lyford."
"Mary Lyford? A black-eyed,
ight-tooted girl, about twenty years
)ld, with two brothers in Colorado,
ind her father a farmer over tovards
Straham?'*
"Yes; the very same." "
"Why, she's the prettiest girl in
Greenland?at least I thought so
wo years aajo, whon I danced with
lfcr at the Thanksgiving party in
:he village; and I heard last fall
;hat she took the.: prize at the Manchester
fair for'Jhe best loaf of
jread.. But why is she here ?"
"UlJ, you know farmers naven't

she wanted to' earn something tor

relieve I'll go injo the dining-room
md propose to give the cook's place
;o any one of the girls who would
ike it, and who feels competent to
akc it. I must do something;"
md looking at his watch he went
>ut.
"Ten minute?Iater lie came back
jlasping bis hands and exclaimed:
"Mary Lyford says she will try
t." a .
"Ilurrah for Greenland!" cried
"isn't that plucky ? By Jove, I
lope she'll succeed, and I believe
ihe will."
? "You musn't expect much tolay,"
said Norton. "Things are all
;opsy turvy in the kitchen, and it'll
;ake sometime to get them straight
med out." ,
"Just then anetf arrival claimed
lis attention, and with a serener
ace he turned away.
"Dinner was poor that day; sup>er
was a little better. And, in
pite of Norton's cautioD, I began
o b.e afraid that Greenland was
foing<?o?vn. But the next morning,
phat a breakfast we had! Juicy
teaks, hot potatoes, delicious rolls
nd corn-bread, griddle-cakes that
aelted in your month, coffee that
ost no aroma iu its making,
thenceforth every meal was a triimph.
The guests praised the ta?le,
and hastened to their seats at
he first sound of the bell. Norton
ras radiant with satisfaction, and I
pas as pleased as if J had been the
andlord op cook myself, Several
imes I sent ray compliments and
:ongratulations to Maiy; but she
vas so constantly occupied that I
lever had a glimpse of ner till the
light before I was to leave. I was
lancing in the parlor, and had just
ed a young lady of the Matilda
fane stamp to her mamma, when I
aw Mary standing with the diningoom
girls on the piazza. I went
nit, and shaking her fry tho hand,.
old her how interested i bad been
n her success, and how proud I
ras to find a Greenland girl so aclomplished.
She blushed and ,
handed me, and said, in a mode6t
vay, that she was s;lad if all was
uited, and then ^Norton came up
expressed ijjs entire satisfaction
vith what she had done. As she
itood there in a white piquo dress,
vith a scarlet bow at her throat,
tnd her dark hair neatly arranged,
ihe looked every inch a lady.
"Do me the favor, Miss Lyford,"
i.iid I, "to daucc the next cotillion

"Ah! Mr. Poster," she replied,
ooking archly at Norton, "that
sn't expccted of the help."
"The help !" I said, indignantly.
'You are queen of the establishnent,
and I invito you to dance,
nd so does Mr. Norton."
"Certainly, I do," he*answered.
;Go and show the company that
on are at home in the parlor as
ell as in the kitchen." fto, smiing
aud blushing, she took my
rm.
vuian't wo niaKe a sensation
rhen we went in ? Perhaps there 1
ras no fellow there with a better 1
locial position' (yon know the f
hrase) than I; and I had been '
uite a favorite with the ladies,
ome laughed, some frowned, some
rhispered to their neighbors, but I ,
aid not the slightest attention' to <
t all, and Mary looked so prett}*, i
ndwent through the dance with <
nch grace and dignity, that before I
t was over I believed all regarded I
