cupy the highest positions upon our globe. To
some extent the hornblend aud granite formations
areintermingled with each other. Mica and horn
blend are not unfrequently found in the same mass
or even range of rocks. This combination, COM
posed Of quartz, felspar, mica, and hornblend, Is
called sienitic granite as it contains all the ingre-
dents found both in granite and sienite. Gneiss
rocks also contain very often both mica and horn
blend the former giving them slaty structure,
the latter increased durability. Hornblend gneiss
is an appropriate name for such combination.
Masses of pure hornblend sometimes have slaty
structure, as found in considerable quantities In

may be called slaty hornblend. Fine grains Of
quartz are frequently interspersed through horn

common. Such crystals are found in considera-

Yes, shall sleep! Some sunny day,
When blossoms in the wind are dancing
And children at their cheerful play
Heed not the mournful crowd advancing,
Up through the long and busy street
They'll bear me TO my last retreat.
Or else-it matters not-may rave
The storm and sleet and wintry weather
Above the bleak and new-made grave
Where care and lie down Lsseiber

For shall sleep! AS sweet sleep
As ever graced babe reposing,

Where |, my weary eyelids closing,
At length shall lay me down to rest,
Needless Of clods above my breast.
Asleep! how still this pulse will lie
Rid oflife's throb that beats 80 wildly
How calm will be this restless eye,
Erst bright with tears, now closed so mildly
For not dream of Earth will come
To haunt the quiet offhGt home
Oh, sweet Repose. Oh, Slumber blest!
Oh, ME- ht of Peace.-no storm, no SORROW
No heavy stirring in my Rest,
To meet another weary morrow!

But STILL with folded hands, sleep on.
Sleep on, though just above my head
Prowl Sin and Misery's hsggard faces
For the dull sumber Of the Dead
All sense of human grasses;
Pslses the heart and cures the brain

Think what Rest awaits my clay,
And smooth the mound with fearless lashes--
Glad that the wasted form within

Think that with her the Strife Is Ger,

Hope that her soul has gained that Shore
To which, though weak, her footsteps tended;
Breathe the dear Hope above her sod,
And leave her 10 her Kest-and God!
