THE SHUNAMMITE.

"It is well."-2 KINGS iv. 26.

BY THE REV. CHARLES B. TAYLER.

I DWELL among mine own, and I am blest, My husband, household, dear familiar friends ; I dwell among my people, and at rest, Thankful to God, for all His goodness sends.

I have enough, nay more," she meekly cried,—

66

I dwell among mine own, and I am satisfied."

Was there no boon a monarch could bestow,
Nought that a prophet might demand on earth,
Nothing to cause that cup to overflow,

So filled with brimming blessings from her birth?

66

66

I dwell among mine own," she only said,

In this my happy home, and need no human aid.”
