"Ah! we'll mind me of child,
A gleesome, happy maid, -.
Who came with constant step, to churcn,
In comely garb arrayed'
And knelt her down full soiemniy,
And peniten,ly prayed.
"And oft, when chu. en- was done, marked
That little maiden near
This pleasant spot, with book In hano,
As you arc, sitting here
She read the Story OF the Cross,
And wept with grief sincere.
Years rolled sway-and behold
The CHILD 10 ~oman grown;
Her cheek was fairer, and her eye
With brighter lustre shone;
But childhood's truth and innocence
Were still the maiden's own;
II neve. rang ine-r,er peal,
Than when, o joyous bride,
She stood beneath the sacred porch,
A noble youth beside,
And plishted him her maiden roth,
In maiden love and pride.
~ never tolled deeper kneL,
Than when, in after years,
Thew laid her In the churchyard here,
Where this low mound appears
The very grave, my boy, that you
Are watering now with tearsD
IN i thy mother! gentle boy,
That claims the tale OF mine
Thou art a flower whose fatal birth
Destroyed the parent vine.
A precious flower thou art my child
Two LIVES WERE GIVEN ron THINE
"one was thy sain,cd mothers, when
She gave thee, mortal, birth,
And one thy Savour's, when in death,
He shook the solid earth;
Go boy, and live as may beht
Thy lies exceeding worth"
The boy awoke, as from dream,
And, thoughtful, looked around,
But nothing saw, save nj his ieet,
His mothers lowly mound,
And by It's side that ancient Bell
