Then suddenly

There ran chill electric shock
Ihro' every woman there whose breast
che soft lips Of babe had presS'd;
But she " no spske-sn aged crone--
The mothCr's love had never known!
The gossip cease; and YOU might mark
The influence of her words MAS creeping
SLOWLY but sure-throughout the rest.
and in the pause, and thro' the dark,
You heard the mothers quiet weeping,
-Outrsng sharp and waiting cry
From where the twins were lain,

Till at a signal from the beam
some chsrm'd voice from the sun-they seem
TO wake-wild Genii-from dream,
Ind changing as they wax e-the steep
Beholds the transformed torrents sweep,
And conquer As they come;
Thus, when that signal cry arose,
straight from the warmed and melting SHOWS
The waters of deep love awoSe!-
To life the Mighty Instinct broke,
.fnd wild and thrilling through the crowd,
Il Mothers soul speaks out aloud
"My children--they are mine"

Rung on the hun5ed fathers ear;
Where, desdning thought in gloom, be sat
With downcsst eyes, that ioathed to see,
Ind numb hands dropping on his knee;
Ind, AS a voice that from the skies
Bids one The grave hath housed arise,

Fell back; sound answered not his stride.
lie reach'd the cradled pair--no word,
No breath frem that hush'd crowd was heard
The mother stretched her srus, but she
Read not the feature from her turning,
Nor dresm'd ,hst there, all visibly
His fesrt was to the newborn yearn'ng.
She gszed--the pause she could not break;
She gszed the very power to shrek
Those parted lips forsook.

Nature beheld herself in terror!
But with fixed and gentle look

But not another y ord he sad,-
That whisper had exercised dread,
Lo! on her breast the twns!-and there

She ella, p'd them more convulsyey;
Looked Wild, on the faces near,
Looked lost-yet doubling turned to fear!
Then as below her glance she cast,
Forgot-in shuddering Ger the past
With folded arms aud fearful smile
There stands The touched and silent Father,
