and looking into his eyes, exclaimed "Mr.

Angels Unawares.
In the hours of morn and even,
In the noon and night,
Troopingdown they come from heaven
In their noiseless flight,
To guide, to guard, to warn, to Omer us,
. Mid our joys and cares;
All unseen are hovering near us
Angels unawares.
When the daylight is declining
In the western skies,
And the stars in heaven are shining
As the twilight dies;
Voisin on our hearts come steeling,
Like celestial airs,
To our spirit Benet revealing
Angela unawares,
Oh. faint hearts, what consolation
For us here below,.
That angelic ministration
Guides us where we go.
Every task thee is befoee us
Some ble.st epirit shares;
