PRAYER.

Lift up the voice OF prayer
Prayer for our country--'tis her hour of need
Send forth the signal AT its utmost speed,
That youth and age and msnhOods prime may plea
And God may spare.
Lin up the voice Of prayer
The voice Of weeping, with nations grief
Beholding whore her chosen free.bom chief
To Freedoms suppliant guest forbids relief
In Freedoms air
Lift up the voice Of prayer;
While warriors arm, and statesmen sternly toll
While on the ballots oft-contested soil,
Tho right before tho might may still recol--
Our hope is there
Lift up the voice of prayer, .
Mightier than battles not the strong alone
Bat woman in her still secluded rome.
And childhood with glory all its own,
This triumph share.
Lift up the voice of prayer
Resist not, chide not TO no human power
Oppose thine arm, nor yet before il cover,
II Heaven hath cursed it, brief its passing hour
A withered tare.
Lift up the voice of prayer;
God rules the world; His will supreme will move.
And cause the wrath Of man to praise in love-
In trusting faith, we wait and soar above
All earthly care.

had no right to them-that they were intend

giving his opinion that they were intended for
herself and no other and that she would find
out, the next day probably, the kind neighbor
who had sent them.
After supper was over and cleared away,
and the young pair had rested awhile, and the
moon had risen, they crossed the rill and went
up the hill to enjoy the fine air and the extend

MIDN MIGHT MUSINGS.

BY MARY ELLA WALKER.
I am alone and very sad to right;
Through MI the quiet house no football sounds
No. tones of silvery laughter ring
No bursts of song from free hearts spring
No busy group ofjoyous ones surrounds
The cherries ingle which, ere now so bright
Shows Wondering brands pale Goals and waning light
The slender tongues of family Pickering fame
Shoot upward for moment, then slow fade,
While in the ever-varying light and shade
Dusk forms move to and fro in masquerade,
Through all the mary turns of strange game,
Whose labyrinthian windngs will not end,
Till fading darkness and fair dawn beams blend
The jargon of brief songs and pleasant words,
Minglng with the crisp notes of household birds.
Has passed with daylight, and list in vain
Its cadence win not stir the air again.
Mute is each ivory key,
Whence trickled out the liquid gems of sound
As skillful rose tipped fingers set them free,
With sweep majestic, or with ghtsome bound,
Waking to life the slumbrous melody.
My strained ear weares of this sickening hush;
My hearts slow beating, and the mufled rush
Of the warm current throbbing through each vein,
Tokens of life within-e'en these bring pain.
Why do linger in this solemn gloom?
Fade from my aching eyes, thou twilight room;
Spread Ger me- angel Memory, thy white wings,
And cheer with bright dreams of happier things.
Let me loop back the curtaining veil of years
Its light seems wrought with smiles, its dark with
And gaze through the dim asIes, with memories rife
Down to the fresh-oped portals of my life.
Oh brighter than the poets bssful dream,
The joys that drsped those Heeting hours
A young enthusiast then, loved the Earth,
And deemed its fairest spot my place of birth.
/ worshipped flowers upon their fragile stems,
And valued dew-drops more than precious gems;
The rill a river seemed to my pleased eyes,
And mountains met the overarching skies
No skillful music planned witls tedious care,
Could with the songs of wilding birds compare.
How do they rise before me, those quaint plays
And simple pleasures Of my childish days.
The walks through mystic groves in summers prime
The oft-Speated tales of winter time
The infant schooi-its boards of useful lore,
It's tasks with treess patience pondered DER,
Come thronging by with years so free from pain,
My spirit yearns to be child again.
But gentle memory brings not scenes alone
To WOO me back TO the sweet life knew
Loved forms and kindly faces meet my view,
OF each familiar voice comes clear and low,
Startling my ears with words of long ago.
Fain would speak with these dear passing shades,
Yet as gaze the dim procession fades;
My angel vsitant, on wings of light,
Scars far away from my bewildered sight;
am alone once more with the still night
