THE HOME BEYOND THE SKY.
BY cATHKRINE H. WATERMAN.
There is home-a bright pure home
A home beyond the sky,
Where living waters gladly gush
Forever to the eye.
A spot where angels congregate,
A path by angels trod,
A promised land where those shall meet
Who love and worship God.
IT'S placed above the burning star,
The far spread fields ofheaven;
o what glorious heritage
To the pure hearted given.
The sick heart turneth from the earth
The yearning eager soul
Stretches afar in anxious thought,
Tothe eternal goal.
Yes; like weary lark it comes,
The plaything Of the wave,
Trusting its hopes to that One arm,
That but alone can save.
There is home-a bright pure home,
Unseen by mortal eye,
Where the worn, weary, rest in peace
The HOME beyond the sky

State. He was a lawyer otgreat acuteness,
and powerful eloquence, whose character was
tinged with the eccentncities ofgenius. He
was brave and chivalric in his feelings, and ha-
wing joined the American army under Harri-
son, he fell at the battle Of Tippecanoe ere he
had hardly reached the prime oflife. At the
time Of his death he was one Of the most pop
ular men in Kentucky--and his memory IS yet
dearly cherished in his native state. Many
anecdotes are preserved Of this remarkable
man-we lately met the following:
There was a difficult questlon to decide be-
fore the court Of Kentucky, involving an I'M

Would shame the brightest spheres of heav'n,

Like cherries ripe with dew upon them,
With teeth like rows ofpearl, between

In snowy Wilderness with her bosom,
And hat her cheeks had stolen their dye,
From wild rose and magnolia blossom.

My burning heart had worship given;
That should she on its homage frown,

And then Igazed upon her form,
And prest her small soft hand with fervor,
And asked her il, mid calm or storm,
She would be mine, and mine forever!
And then ! swore I'd keep my vows,

And told me that scould'nf come III
