The ' Careless Word.
If I had known in the morning
How wearily all the day
The words unkind
W’ould trouble my mind,
I said when you went away,
I had been more careful, darling,
But we vex “ our own,"
With look and tone
We may never take back again.
We have careful thoughts for the stranger,
And smiles for the sometime guest ;
But oft for “our own"
The bitter tone,
'l‘hough'wc love “our own" the best.
Ah, lips with curve impatient!
Ab, brow with the look of scorn l
’Twere a cruel fate
Were the night too late
To undo the work of morn.
My First Cigar.
I’m almost afraid to say how long it; is ago, -
but it must be far on toward forty years,
' since I set aside money that, in an ordinary
way, would have been devoted to the succu-
lent coffee, the crisp bard-bakc,thc acidulated
lemon rock, or the ginger-bread parliament,
to the purchase of my first cigar. -
I'm afraid that my moral feelings must
have been at a very low ebb just then, for . I
went to the shop quite prepared to say that
it was for an uncle ; but 1 was not asked any
questions by the dealer, who contented him-
self with wrapping the roll of leaf most care-
‘ fully in paper, I was. spared the untruth,
spent three-pcnse for the coarsely made dark-
hued Bengal cheroot; and smuggled it to the
school, feeling all the while as if I had com-
mitted some awful crime for the sake of at-
taining an unknown joy, which was to be all
beautiful ecstacy, delight, and dreamy, de-
licious delirium.
Itwas. __ . _ .:;
That half-holiday .I went about , with my
jacket tightly buttoned up, stealing one hand
inside every now and then to feel the end of
the roll of paper, deep’down in its seclusion,
and make sure that it was still there. Not a
school-fellow approached me whom I did not
mentally accuse of knowing of its existence,
and harboring designs to obtain it.
“ Lend us your knife, Jones !" said Tomp-
kins Primus, about three o'clock.
“ Haven't got one,” I said, shortly.
“ Yes, you have," said Tompkins—“there,
in your jacket pocket.“ _.
He made a snatch’at it—ahorrible snatch ;~
but I eluded itby ducking down under his
arm,and running to the other end of the play.
ground. But it was an awful escape, and he, '
nearly broke my brittle treasure right in;
' _ . . . Z me, and a series of questions began, to all
have been about six o'clock;
when it was growing dusk, that I slipped-
half. _
I think it must
sway, and got over the fence . into Bamby’s
field, and dOwn behind the big elms, where,
after listening for a'few minutes lest I should
be seen or heard, I pulled out the cheroot,
and skinned it by taking 03 the paper. -
Then I had to pause for a few moments, in
doubt as to whether I ought to put the thin
or the thick end into my mouth, deciding at
last in favor of the thin, and popping it be-
tween my lips. ,
Ugh! But it was nasty—simply horrible
to my fresh young palate.
But it was manly to smoke, and if it had :-
been ten times as unsatisfactory of flavor, I
should not have flinched ; so I took out my
box of matches, and struck several, blowing
them out in turn as I tried to puff at the cigar
and feeling all the time asif it were the fifth
of November, and I were about to start a
squib. r - ..'..,.,:_~g:; '
I managed it, though,_atl§st,._snd had the
end well alight, the smoke * drawing through
freely, so that Iobtained good mouthfuls, and
worked away. , .._
It was rather hot and strong, certainly, but
—draw—puff—draw -, puff -,-—draw— puff—
how old and manly I did feel! .How I drew
myself up, and leaned my shoulder against
the fence, glorying in the pungent incense,
which would make me choke a little now and
then, and got into my nose inarather awkard
manner. - . . . ' . ,
But then I was smoking, and the elation I
felt was delightful... ._ . , . .
I have since comma-the. conclusion that
the elation was due to mynatural excitement,
consequent upon, thisnglorious, step-r out of
bounds, moralandphysical,’ and not from any
great potency in the tobacco leaf. , , .
The cigar kept well alight, andIlwaIs about
one-third through it. It wasIvery dark, and
there was a sort of furious joy} in.;the whole
transaction. I felt like one ofgthe‘old heroes
of historieal romance—a Sir Francis Drake—
a Captain Kidd—a Paul J ones—a, jolly free-
booter; and, in imagination, clothed myself
in buskins Iand tights, wore secret armor, and
was ready to do any deed of daring.
I quailed once ; had my name been called
in the school-room, where the boys were
learning to-morrow’s lessons ? Had I been
missed or asked for by any of my school
fellows i‘ I hoped not. I could see their
shadow on the blinds, as they went to and
fro in the room, and I could see the light in
the doctor’s study, whereI behaved he smok-
ed ; and here was I smoking too—as good a
man as he, and—
Ugh ? '
That was a curious shudder that passed
through me, accompanied by a strange sensa-
tion, as if some One had suddenly lifted off
the top of my skull, and poured in cold wa-
ter. Ah, yes ! there it all was, plain enough,
mixing with and thinning down my brains,
so that my head felt—felt—so light, so ethe-
real. Yes, it was water, certainly ; but the
water had suddenlyvapored, as in the exper-
iments in our chemical lectures—not from
heat, but from cold ; and my head was now,
as it were, filled with gas, and fast becoming
a balloon, swelling out rapidly, and rising—-
rising.
Yes, there was no doubt about it, and I was
slightly alarmed, but perfectly helpless. My
feet had certainly left the ground, and I was
going up-up—up, till I found that it was
only inlimagination ; for though my heels
had left the ground, it was only for a few
seconds, and I was now lying flat, with my
head resting on one of the gnarled roots of an
elm tree—one of the half-dozen in the clump,
which had evidently fallen into a high state
of delight, and were waltzing round and
round me in the most ludicrous fashion. _ ,
Then the fence which I had clambered be-
gan its tricks—now rising, now falling, as ~ if
to crush me, until the 'palings almost touched
my nose, and then rising again to bend over
in the other direction.
The feeling of coolness that I had felt in
my;head now began to steal all down my
back, and along my legs, and .arms, till it
reached the extremities, when, like some
heavy gas, it began to flow back again, inch
by inch, to my spinal marrow, and then slow-
ly along it to my head.
Next my heart began to flutter in a strange
way, just as if I had been suddenly endowed
with a pair of dove’s wings and was trying
to fly out of my breast ; and all the time the
sensation of lightness went on increasing,
until I seemed to be lifted up and dropped
down, again and again, till I took tightly hold
of an old piece of root with one hand,
wondering all the while what was coming
next. '
And the cigar 1' Ah, {that was sticking
still between my two fingers. It had gone
out, and it didn’t matter. I did not want to
light it again, for I felt as if I had had
enough, especially when at the end of a few
moments there came the sensation of having
just swallowed a small powder in a tea
spoonful of jam, and not liking it at all.
. ed whetherI was going. to die.
Ugh ! That was the most dreadful part .of
the whole affair, worse even than the throb,
throb,throbItliat came now in my head, just
- as if drops of molton lead were falling - from
one temple to the other, and then being
. forced back again. . * .
I believe I grossed-just then, and wonder-
I know I
mentally declared that the cheroot must have
been ahorriblc bad'onc, no I recalled the
fact that I had often heard men say that
some cigars were so bad that they could not
smoke them, and this must have been one of
thebadones. ‘. .' ‘
“ I'll never buy another of that fellow,” I
said to myself. . . . . g
And then Iyawned frightfully and uttered
another groan. _ . .. . 1 :
At last a fresh thought entered my mind.
This was not the effects of the cigar, but of
indigestion—thou: hard, sunety puddings
which we had for dinner. ‘ .
», “ Perhaps,” I thought, “a few whiffs might
do me good. ? '
I sat up against, the palings, and,. .with
hands trembling, and a cold pcrspirstiOn
standing out all over my forehead, lfeltifor
the match-box, struck alight, and placed the
cigar end between my lips, drew and pufled
till it was once more well alight. . . .
How strong it tasted this time, and how
hot and pungent seemed ‘the smoke! It
wouldn‘t go right either, but seemed to treat
my mouth like an ill-constructed chimney,
and ran backward down my throat, and
make me choke; got up my nose, and made
me sneeze ; into my eyes till I' was half .
blinded ; and then—oh! how I shudderettlg'
and felt pale all over. . I must ' be going »,
die. I never felt so strange before—it - . was
simply horrible; andl’leaned back against
the palings, the cigar dropped from between
my fingers, and then I slid sidewise. to the
earth, and lay gasping for air, faint and help.
less; for that was a very, very strong old
cheroot, with a rankness in its nature that I
should not even care to foster now.
How long I remained there I cannot tell——
it must have been an hour before I felt suffi-
ciently recovered to sit up ; and nearly an.
other before I climbed the fence, and stood
swaying On the other side, feeling so far from
like a freebooter, that I imagined I must
have committed a murder to have been; in"-
such a state of horrible nervousness and
'dread. I remember casting away the match-1
box and sneaking in at the side door and up;
tothc dormitories. where I hastily crawledi
into bed, sinking soon after into a strangei
vacuity—half stupor, .half. sleep—from which ;
I was awakened by a shrill voice at my side?

crying out——
“ Plec, Sir, here’s Jones, Sir, in his bed.”
Then the figure of an usher loomed near
of which I responded with signs and the plea
of a sick headache.
Then up came the house-keeper to feel my
pulse and head, and declare me free from
fever.
“ He’ll have to see the doctor in the morn-
ing," said the dame. . . . ...
But I did not, for I got up next morm'ng
aswell as any of my school chums; and I

Week.
An American Custom.
Mr. Bowflig, a cousin of Mrs. Coville, vis.
ited Danbury in the past week. Mr. Bow-
flig, is from Schoharie county, New York.
The next morning after his arrival he accom-
panied Mr. Coville down to the store. As
they were putting on their hats a neighbor
stepped to the back doOr‘and putting in his
head asked if he 'could get the use of Mr.
Coville’s axe for a few moments.
“Certainly,” said Mr. Coville.
Jones, a minute.”
“ 0, I can't" protested Mr. Jones, who saw
the company. “I ain’t got a cent 'on."
“Never mind the coat,’Y_ said Mr. Coville,
going toward the door. 5“ Come in just a
minute.” .
Mr. Jones stepped in, looking somewhat
embarrassed.
“ This is my wife’s cousin, Mr. Bowflig.
George, this is Mr. Jones."
The two shook hands. Mr. Jones then got
his axe and went home, feeling much better,
no doubt. ‘
Going out of the gate just as an acquaint.
ance was going by, Mr. Coville hailed him.
“ Good morning, Mr. Whipple. In a hur-
ry ?1)
.“ Good mornin’,” returned Mr. Whipple,
pausing and looking inquiringly toward Mr.
Coville, as if was in considerable hurry.
3“ I won’t detain you an instant," explained
Mr. Coville. “This is Mr. Bowflig. George,
this is Mr. Whipple." And Mr. Coville
beamed pleasantly from one to the other,
while the two gentlemen shook hands. There
was an embarassing pause Which Mr. Coville
broke by observing, for the benefit of Mr.
Bowflig— .
9‘ Mr. ‘Whipple is a foreman in one of our
largest hat factories.” , ~ - '
And by adding, for the information of Mr.
Whipple—
?‘ Mr. Bowflig is my wife's cousin, from
Schoharie county, New Yor ”
' Mr. Whipple bowed with an attempt to
look interested.
There was another awkward pause.
“ I suppose you are in a hurry; don’t let
us detain you," finally observed Mr. Coville,
and he and his cousin started on, and Mr.
Whipple did the same, at a visibly increased
pace. .
Mr. Coville explained to his cousin about
Mr. Whipple, saying that he was an extreme-
ly good fellow.
“And I knew you’d begladto know him,"
added Mr. Coville, from the goodness of his
heart, although he failed to explain what de-
gree of acquaintance constituted, in his esti-
mation, knowledge of a man. This was a
problem Mr. Bowflig might have revolved in
his Own mind with profit, but not having the
time he did not approach it, but’ merely said
he was glad indeed to know the gentleman.
While thus conversing they passed a yard
where a man was running a lawn mower.
“ That’s Captain Spiggs,” said Mr. Coville,
halting by the fence. “ He is worth a heap
of money, and a man of fine education. I’ll
introduce him to you.” Then to Mr. Spiggs,
“ Captain, good morning.”
“ Good morning," replied the captain,stop-
pingithe mower, and glancing back upon the
swarth he hiyd cut.
. “ Captain,” said Mr. Coville,with an agree-
able expression on his face, “ I would like to
introduce you to Mr. Bowflig, a cousin of my
wife,wh0 is spending the day with us. George
this is Captain Spiggs.” . .
The captain bowed, but said nothing. --
“This is the first time Mr. Bowflig has
been in Danbury,” informed Mr. Coville.
“ Ah,” observed the captain. But he said
nothing more. . ' . "
“ Igwantcd him to know ’all our leading
citizens}? said Mr. Coville, in apologetic des-
peration. At least-so it seemed.
The captain bowed again, a little more
stiffiy; than before. . . .
Mn, Co'villc made some comment upon the
grass crop, and then hurried on with his rela-
tive. : , . . .
Shortly after. a man in a. wagon met
them. . He halted before them and asked Mr.
Coville if he had engaged his apples for the
winter. Mr. Coville said: f . . - - » ~
“ No, not yet, Mr. Harkness..--;Mr. Hark-.
ness, this is. Mr. Bowflig, my wife’s cousin.
George, this is Mr. Harkness. Mr. Harkness
supplies us with apples.” .
“How are ye ?” said the farmer, nodding
to Mr. ,Bowflig. ’
“ Come in
The apple question being arranged, Mr.

Coville and his cousin jogged on. At the
butcher shop where he trades he stopped in
for something for dinner. ’ "'
“Mr. Huck," said he to the butcher, “this .
is Mr. Bowflig, my wife’s cousin, from Scho-
harie county, in New York State. George,
this is Mr. Huck, our butcher." ' l
Mr. Huck said Mr. Bowflig would have to
excuse him as his hands were all grease, but
he was glad to make his acquaintance.
Mr. Bowflig was agreeable enough to say
it made no matter. He knew how it was
himself when a man was at work. .
From the butcher shop Mr. Coville p‘ro-
cccded with his cousin to the grocer. The
grocer was weighing five hams when they
went in. Mr. Coville said: ,
“ Mr. Monroe, this is' Mr. Bowfiig my
wife's cousin, from Schoharie county, in YOrk
State. George, this is Mr. Monroe. We ‘do
all our trading with Mr. Monroe. , -
Mr. Monroe and Mr. Bowflig shook hands,
and endeavored to look happy. Mr. Coville
came to their rescue with an order for gro.
ccries, and then he took his cousin tohis own
store, introducing him on the way to a man
who stopped to ask him if he was going '
down to the county fair, to another who
asked him if he was going to the Centennial,
and to five who were going by with simplyia
salutation, but whom Mr. Coville thought it
would be desirable his cousin should know.
There was no one at the store but the clerk.
Mr. Coville said to him,
“ Hodge, this is Mrs. Covilie's cousin, Mi.
Bowflig. George, this is young Hodge, my
cler .” - - - , . . 3
This matter being satisfactorily arranged,
the party took a look around the store, and
.then Mr. Coville. said that as business was
slow he would leave the place in charge of
the clerk, and take his cousin around and
make him acquainted with people,»Mr. Bow;
flig was inclined to defer his pleasure to 'his .
cousin's business.
But Mr. Coville would
not listen to that. ’ -
and you want to know as many people-as
possible in that time, for you mayrnevcr come
to Danbury again," sagaciously observed ML:
Coville. This sounded so reasonable-that: .
Bowflig said no more, and the two sallied,
forth. Mr. Coville swung. his .hook,baited§
with his cousin, so dextrously in the social;
waters, that before noon he had. successfullyl
landed a road contractor,- two doctors, ascore;
of merchants, five lawyers, four manufactu-l
.rers, fifteen mechanics, and some forty odd;
miscellaneous. . . 2
After dinner‘he took? his cousin over the
hatfactory-where- Mr. Whipple is foreman,
firm, the two bookkeepers, the engineer, and
twenty-four workmen. . He then rushed him
through the boot and shoe factory in the same
way. It was now time to go home, to make
ready forthe train. At the housetl'ley found
a man who lived on the- next street. Some
of his hens had disappeared, and‘ he was
over to see if Mrs. Coville had seen them.
He appeared to be very anxious about his
property, and failing to hear anything of the
.fowls there, was moving hurriedly away, 1
iwhen.Mr.' Coville said: ' ' '
“ Mr. Bunker, this is Mrs. Coville’s cousin
Mr.‘Bunker hastily shook hands with Mr.
tBowflig‘, said he was happy to make his. ac-
quaintance, and hurriedly nervous away.
dttwas' almosttime to start for the train, and
Mr. Bowflig got down in a chair with a grate-
ful thud, determined to rest himself for five
minutes.‘ Then Mrs. Coville» suggested that
old.Mrs. Murray would be glad, without
doubt, to see George, if only for a moment,
as she had heard her (Mrs, Coville,) talk so
much about him; and Mrs. Haines was in
night after they went away, and felt real dis-
appointed to think that she had not seen him.
If there was time Coville might take him
around to see Mrs. Murray—4t was only a
step-and stop in to Haines’ on the way back.
Mr. Bowflig would have protested against
this honor, but Mr. Coville was firmly con-
v‘inced it ought to be done, and the cousin
from Schoharie county rose wearidly from
his feet, donned his hat and started forth. .
He was duly presented to Mrs. Murray, who
was quite an invalid, and who asked him if
he was not feeling bilious. Then they stop-
ped in to see Mrs. Haincs, who was washing
dishes, but who apologized _for her appear-
mice, and wiped off her hands on her apron
and shook his. They got back to the house
in, time for Mr.>Bowfiig to say a hasty good
bye to Mrs. Coville, and then they hastened
to. the station. On approaching there they .
saw a'team near the walk. The wagon was
tipped to one side, and a stooping man was
peering anxiously under it.
f‘ Hello, Hackett," said Mr. Coville,
“ what's the matter ?"
' .“My wagon’s broke down,” replied Mr.
Hackett, without abatihg his anxious survey.
“That’s too bad. I wish I had time to
stop and help you, but I'm hurrying to the
cars-to see off my friend here. Mr. Hackett,
this is Mr. Bowflig, a cousin of my wife,from
Schoharie county, in York State. George,
this is Mr. Hackett.” _ .
“How’d do ?" said Mr. Hackett, continu-
ing to stare under-ibis wagon. .. . .
'l Hewldo you do?" returned Mr. Bowfiig,
politely, and the'nvto' his cousin’s husband,
“Hadn’t we better hurry ?"
Mr. Coville started on. They reached the
station just as the tram was about to start,
leaving scarcely time to get the ticket'and to
introduce Mr. Bowfiig to a baker and to two
merchants from Bethe]. ' ' ' ‘ ' '
“.I hope you enjoyed your visit 1’". whisper.»
ed Mr. Coville‘to his cousin as he saw him to
a seat. ' '
“Yes, indeed I have,” replied the relative,
who,-being comfortably settled with several
uninterrupted hours before hing felt in a
moodto concede almost anything.‘? ' , ' '=
“ll-am glad of that.x There's-a lot of'peo-
ple hereIshould like to have you know, but
the time was so short that it was impossible
to get'around to them,” Mr. Coville apologet-
ically explained—Danbury News. .

Col. Ingersoll isright. 'Gov. Hayes is so
pure a man that even the democrats can’t lie
about him. An illustration of this fact is
furnished by this manly and eroditabler re-
traction in The Cincinnati Inquirer “Some
three weeks ago wereccived from Cleveland,
Ohio, a letter signed John Somerton,in which
some charges were made against Gov. Hayes
in connection with the bounty money-of a lot
of deserters from his brigade. The writer
claimed to have been a" member of Haycs’s
regiment: we published the letter in good
faith. Since that time the Cleveland papers
have called upon" J ohn' , Somerto‘n to come
forward:Iandjtiubs‘tantiate his charges. They
say that; no. such man lives in Cleveland.‘ As
John'has failed to make. himself known we
conclude that We were '_'imp0$ed on. We
have no desire 'tO unjustly assail any candidate
and in making statements endeavor to guard
ourselves. In this instance we feel that we
owe Gov. Hayes an-apology. . John Somer-
ton has been loudly called for and has failed
to respond.”
“
Henry S. Russell, of Milton, Mass, the
owner of Sinugglcr, has sent out a general
challenge to the owners of fast trotter’s, in
which he says : “I will trot Smuggler three
races against anthorsc, mare or gelding for
stake, purse, gate-money or; charity, over
such tracks as may be to the advantage of
both parties ; or I will trot him against ' .any
combination, a fresh horse to . start against
4 .him in each heat, add all heatsv' won by”
dierrent horscsin such combination to be
counted as if won by a single horse in an
ordinary race.” '

training their teachers, the- impmssions left
on my heart are so precious that I must try
to describe one of the scenes, so common
here,i The canvass of the district cost me
many miles of wearylwalking and talking.
I fodnd about forty who wished to go to a
Sunday School,'but only. one Christian fami-

They were recent “homesteaders,” and very
lonely. When I proposed a SundayISchooi,
the mother looked around on her children
withlwecping eyes, and quietly said, as if
communing with God, .“My prayers answered

Hel- house, in which we organized our
school, was about 20le feet—one room and
an attic; made warm for winter by cutting
so'ds rind laying them against the sides round
about; like a wall, six feet high; very plain,
but neat within. We gathered in 38 chil-
dren, and introduced to each other those who
were strangers, but feund they were neigh-
bore, and soon became friends. Then we
slept, in four beds, one in each corner.

Dear Sir—When about six months old I was yac-
oinated. The parties who werevaccmated from
the same virus died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such an extent thatI was rolled
in brhn to prevent me from scratching my person.
The disease finally settled in my head. I remained
in this condition about twenty years, troubled all
the timewitb soresbreakmg In my head and dis- I
charging corruption from my car. At this time a
small kernel appeared on my neck, graduallyun-
creasing in'slze nntila tumor forme of such Im-
mense size I could seslt by turning my eyes down-
ward. All this time I was taking various remedies
for m blood without any substantial benefit.
. I then went to a prominent physician In Boston.
'who,;during his treatment of six months, lanced
the‘tumor eight times, which cost me nearly $400.
This left me with‘ a roughmggravated sorc,wrthout .
at all diminishing the size of the’tumor,and in a
sickly,t'eeble condition. I consulted another phyo
sician in Natick, who,alterconsrdcrablotirne. suc-
ceeded in healing the sore without reducing the
size. At this point I commenced to use VEGIls-I
TINE. through the earnest persuasion of a friend.
'At‘ter I had taken this medicine about one week
I experienced wonderful sensations“ My whole
body seemed to be undergoing a radical change,
until the tumor broke and discharged frightgul
quantities. From this time It decreased in size
until the bunch disappeared. but my neck still
bears the ugly scars of the sore and lance. I am
now healthy and strong and able to work every
dzllywill also mention that I have been an acute
sull'er‘cr from inflammatory rheumatism ever since
I can remember, until commencing the use of VEG-
ETINE. when almost immediately all rheumatic

Domestic: DlpIOmaey.
She was watching at the window,
As I hurried down the street.
In the simple brown merino
That I fancy looks so neat.
And her smil'eiI thought portentions-
It was so exceeding sweet.
Then she met- ‘me‘ at the threshold
With a very loving kiss
That recalled the early stages
Of Our matrimonial bliss-'-
And I felt at once a tremor-—
Was there anything amiss ?
No, the children were all quiet,
And the hearthwas very bright,
And my pet—our roguishICharlic—
Was quite vestal in his white;
Yet I braced myself for something,
Be that somethingavhat it might.
My chair was hearthe fire, ',
And myslippers. by its side— .
My pipe was very handy,
And my papers open wide;
And she wore the pretty breast-pin
That I gave her when a bride.
The dinner was perfection;
It was lavish-without waste;
The soup was vermicelli,_
. And exactly to my taste;
While the dessert was, a triumph '
O'f artistic skill and paste.
And when the meal was Over,
And the inner-man at‘rest,
She drew her chair beside me,
'With the'baby on her breast,
I felt, and so I told her,
I was one amongthezblest.
0h! thesmile of tender radiance
That illumined all her face,
As I clasped her to my bosom
In the lover’s fond embrace ;
It was then she softly whispered, ,
-“ Won’t you let me have that lace f"

Careless wind! nature’s laughter
O’er the smiling, sparkling water,
Come where I in sadnesssit I
Pale with grief ; around mefiit,
Bring me bird-songs and perfume
From the meadowaall a-bloom ;
' I Then waft and blow, come "and go,
Find me sad and leave me so.
0 sunlight fair in‘ the air,
On the green earth everywhere,
Sifting gold upon the river, '
Gleaming where the rushes quiver,
Dost thou mark how I still sit
In the dark, close clasping it,
My deep grief, night and ‘morrow ?.
Pass me by, and leave my sorrow.
From the lover waft his plaint,
With thy splendor gild the saint,
Waft her dolor from the maiden,
Linger near the sorrow—laden,
Chase the shadovvs from the cell
Where the weary captives dwell,
But for mc—.—ah no, not yet——
I would choose net to forget.

Where weary Ones have gone ;
It watchesfwith angelic gaze ‘ ‘ ,
‘ Where the deadIare left alone. .
'. And not a reund'of busy life
' - To the still graveyard comes,
‘- But peacefully the sleepers lie ,
, Down in their quiet homes. ,
All silently and solenmly : I. . :
It throweth. shadows round ;-
And every gravestone bath a trace
In the darkneés On‘tlieground.
It looketh on the tiny mound I -
Where the little child‘ is laid, .
It lighteth up the'mn'rble pilc '
Which human pride'hatlt' made
It falleth with unalteredfay .-
On the simple and the stern,
And showeth with a selemn light
The sorrows we must learn.
It telleth of divided ties T '
On which its beams have 'shown,
It whispers' th cf broken hearts'
Which‘brokenly live on;
It gleameth where devoted ones
Are sleeping side by side,
It falleth where the maiden rests
Who in her beauty died.
There is no grave in all' the earth
Which moonlight hath not seen ;
It gazeth cold and paSsionless
Where agony hath been. ' ‘
But it is well! That changeless ray
A deeper thought should throw
Where mortal love pours forth the tide
Of unavaiiing woe. . ,
It teaches us no shade of grief
Can touch the starry sky' ;
That all our sorrow livetll here,
The glory is on high ! Selected.
