The Dying.

Oh. mother, make my bed for me,
P!I ask it not again;
Why are thy eyes so dim with tears?
| would not give thee pain,
Father, dear father, ere die,
Draw near my couch of death,
And seal thy blessing, ere yield
Ny last expiring breath.
Sister stretch ont thy tremgling hand,
feel Pm diving now
Wipe of those tear-drops from the eyes,
And smooth my burniniug brow
Brother, breathe out thy last farewell,
And give thy parting kiss,
Ere my freed spirit takes its flight.
To you bright world Of bliss,
Friends of my gay and joyous hours,
I've loved you deep aud long,
Breathe out for me one parting prayer,
And sing one parting song.
Farewell but when Pm laid forest
Breathe not for me a sigh;
Death comes it was a griel 10 live,
An endless bliss 10 die.

LINES.

Suggested by the sudden death of Two lovely
children Addressed to the parents.
WRITTEN FOR THE OLIVE BRANCH.
They grew in childish beauty fair,
Bright buds Of hope were they:
The stars that lit thy household eve,
Thy sunshine through the day.
A darkwlnged angel swiftly came,
With icy hand and breath,
He chilled the half.uutold buds;
That angels name was Death
In life, through every joy and grief,
The two were side by side
The golden link that hound them thus,
Stern Death could not divide
Together, marble.like and cold,
Ye sadly laid them down,
The rnglets clustering yet, so STILL
The naxen and the brown.
Then slowly bearing them away,
We laid them in the tomb,
And turned to that deserted home,
In agony and gloom;
Their places vacant ound your board
Their empty couch to see,--
To hear them lisp their prayer no more
Beside their mothers knee.
The little garments once they wore
The playthings that remain,
A few bright links of curling hair,
Are all We can retain!
Yet while thy teaIs in anguish flow,
For hopes so sadly rivcn,
Mourn not thou hast no child on earth,
While two are thine in Heaven!
For time no fearful ravage makes
With youth and beauty there;
And they've escaped the pain and toll,
Earth's sorrowng children bear.
Then let this arm, this hope, be thine,
That when liGe's cord is riven,
Thine angelic hildren hand in hand,
Shall welcome thee to Heaven
