WORDS OVER A GRAVE.

Did she suffer long, Oh, yes! and It's best
To wipe our tears when such weary rest
Fond hearts watched DER her. for many a day,
Lest life's torn petals should fall to their clay;
But they fell to their clay.
Did she sorrow to live when her husband was near
There lay meath her eyelid an unshed tear
But it triekled not till her boy drew nigh,
And asked his pale mother nerer to die
Never TO die
Did mind fit from her. with death afar,
And left it the gate CT the grave ajar'
While tenantlcss lie, outlined before,
Was the shadow of mind through that open door,
Through that open door.
No-praise TO Jehovah for mercy thus shown,
The light and its shadow at once were withdrawn;
Yet she trimmed her faith, ere she went away,
Goo grant there was oil in the lamp that day
In the lamp that day.
The funeral train like gulf-stream wound
Through the ocean Of life that heaving around,
In lence it moved, as the wreck they bore,
Where the graye-stones pebble the church-yard
shore.
The church-yard shore.
We fingered long by that cold grave side
While back to the world swept the funeral tide;
Far from the death-beach 1t ebbed away,
Nor missed from its bosom drop of spray.
a drop Of spray.
And must dust absorb it All no if she ,hone
Among CHRIsr's jewels, precious stone
When judgment shall open the graves rough shell,
She may lie pearl--but we cannot tell
We cannot tell
