SPIRITUAL RECOGNITION. little girl of my ac-
qua!ntance a lovely and precious child, lost her
mother at age too early to fix the loved features in
her remembrance. She fraiI as beautiful. and
as the bud OF her heart unfolded, it seemed if
by that mothers prayers to turn nstinctly heaven
ward. The sweet, conscientious and prayer-lovng
child was the idol of the bereaved family. But she
faded away early. She would lie the lap of a
friend WHO took mothers care OF her and winding
one wasted arm about her neck would say I" Now
tell me about mammal And when the oft-told
tale had been repeated would ask softly, e" Take me
Into the Paror; ] want to my mamma" The
request was refused; and the affectonate child
would lie for hours, contendedly gazing upon the
mothers portrait. But
Pale and wan she grew and weakly
Bearing all her pain meekly,
That to them she still grew dearer,
AS the trial hour grew nearer -
That hour came at last and the weeping neighbors
assembled to see the child die. The dew of death
was already the flower and its life-sun was going
down. The little chest heaved fanty-spasmodi-
ca!ly.
Do you know me darling 20 sobbed close in her
ear, the voice that ives dearest but awoke no an
swer.
All at brightness, as il from the other world,
burst over the child's coorless countenance. The
eyehds flashed open, the lips parted the wan, cud-
oIlng hands flew up in the little ones last impulsive
enori as she looked piercingly into the far above.
Mother! she cried with surprise and transport
In her tone-and passed with that breath into her
mothers BOSOM
Said distinguished divine who stood by that bed
ofjoyous death
a" If had never believed in the minstra;ion ofde-
Pafted ones before could doubt it now -
feace leave with you,' said the wisest Spirit
lna' ever passed from earth to heaven. Let US be
d' peace amid the sprit-mysteries and ouestionnqs
on which His eye shall soon shed the LIGHT of eter.
