A'l.‘ TIIE DIED. ‘
I stood beside the blur,
And'gaud upon the features of the dead,
Musing in mingled charity and dread, '
On all the carping world had thought and said
' ’ About the cold 'clsy here.
To weep heartébrokeilly
O’er those whose lives have pure and Iinlesl been;
To feel neared that safely gathered in
The Shepherd’s fold, they leave behind no sin
' To cloud their memory.
Were almost applause,
Compared to thatdead weight of misery,
That makes life worse than th can even be,
When innocence deserts hum ity,
And leaves us powerless.
I knew no certain tale
Concerning this still form would e’er be read;
I only knew that busy scandal shed
A host of blasting rumors o’er the dead,
Which always would prevail.
'- 'Twas only a dear friend,
One Iliad known and loved for mnny years,
Ere wretcheduess bad steeped her eyes in tears, ‘.
And bound her better nature in the fears
That downward slowly tend.
I thought ofsll the woes
This pulselera heart had sulered silently,
Without a wbrd oflove or sympathy,
Perhaps it broke at last,"dcspalringly,
- Only the great God knows.
Thou, who withholds the sword
Of Justice, when ’tls merited the most,
And gently speaks forgiveness to the lost,
0, what are we, I thought, that dare to boast
Our fellowship with God.
Humbled I was, and awed.
And softly kneellng down beside the bier, -
Forgetting that the carping world was near,
I kissed the cold face, happy to appear
No Wiser than my God.

' Years since (but name- tome before), >
Two sisters sought at eve my door; ,
Two song birds wandering from thslr nest,
A gray old‘lsrll'horue in the'Wast.
Timid and young the elder had
Even then a smile too sweotly sad;
_ The crown of pain that all mustwear
T60 early pressed her inldnlght hair.
You are the summer eve mew ions.
Her modest lips were sWeet with song;
A memory haunted all ' r words
" ‘ 0f clover-fields sndsiil g birds. .
Her dark, dilating eyes express“!
The broad horizons ofthe West; ' '
Her speech dropped prairie flowers; the go]
0f harvest wheat about her roiled-
Fore-doomed to song she seemed to mg;
I queried not with destiny:
_ I knew the trial and/the need, ,
. Yet, all the more, I said, God speed!
What could I other than I did 7
Could I a singing bird forbid 7
Derry the wind-stirred loaf! Rebuke
The music of the forest brook 7
She went with morning from my door,
But left me richer than before;
Thencefortb I 'knew her voice of cheer,
The welcome of her partial ear.
Years passed; through all the land her name
A'plsasant household word became;
All fell: behind the singer stood
A sweet and gracious womanhood.
Her life was earnest work, not play;
Hel- tired feel. climbed a weary way;
. And even through her slightest slrsin -
We heard all undertone of pain;
Unseen of her, her fair fame grew,
The good she did she rarely knew,
Ungnessed of her in life the love
That rains its tears her grave above.
When last I sawher, fall of peace, .
She waited for her great release:
And that old friend so sage and bland,
Our later Franklin, held her hand.
For all that patriot bosém stirs
Hath moved that woman’s heart of hers,
And men who toiledjn storm and sun
Found her their meet companion.
Our converse, from her sufl'ering bed
To healthful themes of life she led;
The'out-door world of bud and bloom
' And light and sweetness filled her room.
Yet evennore an underthought
0_f loss to come Within us wrought.
And all the while we felt the strain
Of the strong will that conquered pain.
. God glveth quietness at last!
The common way that all have passed
She went. with mortal yearnings fond,
To fuller life and love beyond.
Fold the rapt soul in your embrace,
My dear ones! Give the singergpiacei
To you, to her; —I know not where— .
I lift the silence of a prayer.
- For only thus our own we find:
The gone before, the left behind,
All mortal voices dle between;
The unheard reaches the unseen.
Again the blackhlrda sing; the streams
Wake, laughing, from_thelr winter dreams,
And trembling in the April showers
The tasselsof the maple flowers.
But not for her has spring renewed
The sweet surprises of the wood;
And bird and flower are lost to her
Who was their best interpreter!
What to shut eye: has God revealed 2
What hear the ears that death has sealed 7
What undreamed beauty passing show
Réquites the loss of all we know ‘2
0 silent land, to which v’é move,
Enough if there alone be love: .
And mortal need can ne'er outgrow
What it is waiting to bestow!

Those who are in the habit of telling pro-

but, unfortunately, their memories are gen-

dealt with these mendacious pests in a man-

low himself to be outdone by a verbal prod-
igy. Whenever a monstrous story was told
in his presence, he would endeavor to outdo
it by one'of his own coinage, and consign
the narrator to confusion by a falsehood
more glaring than his own. Once in his hear-
ing a sporting adventurer ran thus: “I was
fishing one day in a certain Spring full of
delicious trout, and caught a large mess, lit
what was really surprising. not a foot from
the cold spring was one of boiling Water; so
that, when you wanted to cook your fish, all
you had to do after booking them from the
cold spring, was to pop them directly into
the boiling one.”
The company all expresesd astonishment
and inel'edulity at this monstrous assertion.
