twilight shadescome steaIing ON


BY MARY L. LAWSON.
The twilight shades come stealing on,
Another hour aud thou art gone.
Then all have left 70 me
Il nouGhf but faithful memory,
Kind smiles that brought Us passing bliss,
Some tender words, thrilling kiss,
Forever shrined within each heart,
Whose trembling chords now break, to part
And yet dare not ask DELAY,
have no right to bid thee stay;
But wherefore wish me to forget
That We have pared with regret. A
The sadness Of my soul to hide,
And threw affections bonds aside.
Gould that oblivion e'er be bless
Thaica thine image from thy breast.
And when we meet, in after years,
Say, will il be with smiles OF tears?
PeFchance we shall not meet again,
But, no that thought is fnll OF pain,
And cold or chanssess tho it be,
Ere death, thy face once more l'll see,
And still thy fTmest friend III prove,
For absence alters all but love.
New hopes will rise, new ties may come
We each may claim happy home,
Yet lingering fancy oft willestray
TO this sweet thought Of life's young day,
And wish some JOY TO thee,
AHu tu0u VIII eBEeutnS . prayer lot NE
White waves of care our forms divide,
My spirit hovers by thy side.
But if one vision should arise
To dim thy brow or wake thy signs, az
Forget me dearest, for the thought,
That brought the pain, were dearly bought
And let remembrance fill alone
The heart that throbs against thy own,
Whose every beating warmly tells
The lasting truth with which It swells.
But do not look within mine eyes,
Where love too deep for mortal lies,
Go, leave me without thought of pain,
Why weep for me, when tears are vain;
Seek other friends, be glad and free,
mid scenes of mirih, from sorrow fee,
And in thy soul soon will seem
The shadow Of some vanished dream.
Yet do not deem would upbraid
Forgive the words that / have SAID,
Those eyes that beam upon my own,
The heavy sigh. the broken tone,
AllNRhispcr thuu wilt share with me-
The sad sweet boon of memory,
And tho thy voice tiTst bid rs part,
Old feelings cling around thy heart.

THE BIBLE.-The Bible is the only book
which God has ever sent, the only one ne
ever will send into this world. Allaother
books are frail and transient as time, since
they are only the legistsEs oftime; bat the
Bible is durable as eternity, for its pages
are the records of eternity. All other works
are weak and imperfect, like THEN author,
man; bat the Bible is replete with infinite
power.and perfection, lii . itss uuthops God.
Eyety other volume is limited 10 its Hsefnl~
ness and inauencei but the Bible came forth
conquering and 10 conquer. The Bible only,
Of all the mytiads Of books the world has
SEEM is equally interesting and important
to oil mankind. Its atidings, whether of
peace OF of woe, are. the same 70 the poor,
the ignorant and the weak, as TO the rich,
the wise and the powerful. Among the
most remarkable Of It's attributes is Justice;
for it looks with impartial eyes on kings
and slaves, on the chief and the soldier, on
philosophers and peasants, on the eloquent
and the dumb. From all, it exacls the same
obedience to its commandments; promising
TO the good the reward Of their loyalty, but
to the evil, the awful conse.
|quences of theft rebellion. Nor are the
purity and holiness, the wisdom and benevS
|olence, of the scriptures less conspicuous.
Ia vain we look elsewhere for true models
of chaFacte5s for the models Of the huiband
and the wife. he parent and the child, the
patriot and the scholar, the philanthropisi
and the christian, the private citizen and
the ruler Of the nation. Whatever shall be
their respective lots, whether poverty Of
wealth, prosperity or adversely, social in,
faence Or solitary station, the Bible is theil
only fountain Of truth--their only source
