AN ANGEL FOR HEAyEN.-And so death closed those little eyes--shroudeea their light glances. Oh, that the sun would not come streaming in on her shrouded form, as if there were no griee in the world
 How sweetly she sleeps, that littlo angel! How lightly curl the glossy rings on her white forehead You could weep your very soul away, to think those cherub lips will never, never unclose.-- Vainly you clasp and unclasp that pas sive, darling hand that wandered SO often over your cheek. Vainly your anguishea glance strives 10 read the dim story of love in those faded opbs. The voice, sweet as winds blowing through wreatk- ed shells, slumbers for ever. And still the busy world knocks at your door, and will let you have no peace. It shouts. in your ear it's chariots rumble by i; it. smiles broadly in your care>worn face :. It mocks you as you sew the shroud 1t meets you at the coffin. at the grave and its heavy footsteps tramp up and down. in the empty rooms whence you have. borne the dead. But it comes never in, the hush of night to wipe away your tears !
 Wanted-an angel for heaven! Can you look up? Can you bsar the splendor of that sight? Ten thousand celestial beings, and your own radiant child-angeA in their midst:
 In her eyes glory light,
 On her brow glory crown. 1"

BY ELLEN LOUISE CHANDLER.

There are two graves, far, far apart, And the deep sea rolls between Ger one they've piled the marble high, Ger one lhe grass grows green. : Ia the one, within gorgeous fane, Lies she whom called my bride; Before whose feet knel, of old, In her fathers halls of pride. In the one behind the village church, Where wild how'rs nod in prayer, Is resting the shade of the purest dream That frightened my life of care! The one was maiden proud and high, With the waves of her ieity haie All braided up with jewels rich,
 And pearls and diamonds rare. The other had curls of sunny light, And smile as faint and mild As those which the OIden artists paint, In their dreams of the young Christ
 child. One awed my heart with the prideful
 glance,
 From her rs;!;ng orbs that fell, The eyes of the other were purely blue As the home where the angels Swe". One brought me title proud and high, And pearls, aud gold, and lands. With serls 10 bow .. my lighiest word, And go at my first commands The other brOn0ht the'earEest love That glOwed in her slar>lit eyes, And bIes, my heart with the downward rays From the distant Paradise ! welded the one with stately pomp, In proud cathedral aisle, And bells were ringing in high church
 towers, A sounding chime the WSiie. welded the other as Quakers wed, hn the fsresl still and deep, When hushed were the sounds Oi noisy
 lie, r.. And the flowers had gone 10 sleep. Oh! bilhe was my nieht-haised love,
 and fair, And proud was heu daring eye, But dearer Ear was my cottage girl With her angel puEity- ..e. But the demons wandering over easth. For the one spuR out g. shroud, And they laid her low where wsx lights
 g!owS
 In the old cathedral proud. The other, when holy stars shine down. Was hearing the angels sing, And a iruani seraph folded her In the clasp of his view!ess wing. They told me that the one was lying @ dead.
 And tear cane in mine eye But ioy dreams chased the gloom away, And smile weRl fitting by. They told me the, other had gone to
 sleep, AndI soueh, the battles strife. :. For ! hated iLe light of the rosy day, And cursed ibe light of lie. The one lies still in her iar-oR tomb, Where the tall wsx tapers gleam. And their rays fall down on the marble
 shrine,
 With 6xed and ,ruddy beam. Bui over lke other the njght.siars swing When the light of day has ffed, And the wild winds sigh her gentle namt Till | wish that were dead.
