THE TEST OF LOVE.
BY FANNY FERN.

''For charity's sake, take me in," said the
lively little Mrs. Gray, with look of mock
distress, as she peeped her bright face into
lay room. ''If you'll credit it, my husband
hasn't spoken five consecutive words since
tea-time and I'm quite undecided whether
to request to have the roof raised, so that

reply.
The blood rushed to Mary's temples; she
was by Matty's side in an instant, urging
her to s'full confession"

WITHERED GRASS.
BY Z. P SEILLABER.

Like the still surface OF the little lake.
The heart is rufIled by the merest breath;
A word, a look. flower, will oft awake
a crowd of memories from their seeming death
And late simple tuft of failed grass.
Did rustic DER my keart strings with tone
Of Old affection which had slept, alaS
Since the best object Of that love had flown
My mind recalled therein the image fair
Of her who bound the flowers in all their pride,
But who. more frail than summer blossoms are,
Bowed her fair head, and in her spring time died
l lived again the love-illumined hour
When sweet communion cast around its spell,
Beneath the arches of those fragrant bowers,
Adorned with roses that she loved so we'll.
Anew her smile made bright the Fastening day.
How fleet it few with Annie by my side =
Her eye beamed on me with its olden raw,
Her cheek still bushes in youth and beautys pride
Her voice once more its tender music poured
Upon my eager all attentive ear,
And every syllable, of old adored,
Ny listening spirit bowed itself to hear.
her Ht'ie nand souSnt mlne In beauteous trust
Her round cheek was pressed against my own;
Alas! remembrance turns the hand to dust,
The rounded cheek in memory lives alone:-
Until the veil dividing us is riven,
When, roaming on that bliss senvironed plain,
TO our enfranchised spirit it is given
10 join in loved companionship again.
Zen though angels crown adorn her head,
Though bliss ecstatic is around her cast,
[ can but deem the love once on me shed
Is constant still, enduring to the last.
