Of ages long gone ~.

Of hopes that bloomed to die
OF sunny smiles that set in tears,
And loves that Wondering lie.
Mournfully. oh, mournfully

The voices of the much loved dead
Seem floating thcreupon-
All, all my fond heart cherished
Ere death had made 1t lone

On the hearts bloom--ay' well may tea

MIDNIGHT There is d something in
the boar of midnight that belongs to 10
othe- period of time. Whether In the
calm of summer. We saunter along the
Silly streets of the siumberins city, ga
zing intentiv -on the glorious armament
on hIgh;' In imagination peopling the
stars with spirits; or during storm we
recline in bed, listening to the loud howl
lngs of the wind. and the deafening peals
# the rollin. thunder, and watching the
titful glare Of the lightning, at intervals
rendering the darkness visible:' or II
bending over the couch Of the sick and
diving. Witnessing the vain struggle OF life
with death, or musins along IN the quiet
of our chamber, or even amid the foille~
of a revcl, still we feel that, that period
more than any other. Is fraught with un-
wonted and unde.ined bodings. Why Is
II. that the act of the criminal peIpetrated
then, is deemed more horrible than If done
at any other time2 Is il because il seems
a blasphemy against the universal holy
essence, which appears to claim that sea
son as most peculiarly It's own?-Ne
know not. But We are CONSCIOUS that. a,
that hour, We are attended with feelings
unknown to Us any other time There Is
"a deep and solemn mystery about ii, that
comes, as 1t were, with an impulse upon
the soul, and directs US. to the contempla-
ton of things out Of the ordinary course
of thought We reflect upon the strange
ness of our being, We ask ourselves its or.
IGN. lis purpose, and its end, and howev-
er the sopaisms Of the scep,ic and the
atheist may win upon US by day-when
in the deep solitude of the midnight we
hold communion with our own mind. and
turn it inward upon itself, to brood over
the workings q It's own action, .he iner-
