THE MAGIC MIRROR.

The magic mirror nakes not nor unmakes ; Charms none to sleep, nor any from It wakes— It only giveth back ‘the thing it takes. ’Tls but the heart’s own cheer that makes It glad. And one’s own bitterness will drive him mad; It needeth not that other help he had. Dame Fortune maketh none to risfc or fall; To him that hath not doth no portion call; To him that hath is freely given all. They see themselves who look In Fortune's face; Unto the sad Is sadness heaven's grace; And to the souls that love Is love’s embrace.
