A HEATHEN MISSIONARY.

 

““JAPPY, THE SAINT.”

When oft with anxious, care-worn brow,
And vexed by trivial worry,

I catch his glance in passing, how
He smiles down on my hurry!

I smile response, and straight my heart
Beats lighter for the smiling.

Jappy, my household saint thou art,
Gracious, benign, beguiling !
