lines on the death oi SoSSP"
We stood beside thy couch oil paln'
We saw thy suffering brow;
We listened to thy words oil love-
We seem to hear them now.
Tbev brea,hed of peace beyond the grave,
They spoke of Heaven and love-
Ihy spirit seemed to feel the bliss
Prepared for it above
We saw smile illume thy brow
When death his seal had set,
A smile whose heavenly radience we
Can ne'er, o ne'er forget
For angel bands were waiting then
With quivering wings of love,
To watt thee to their happy home,
Thy home in Heaven above.
We think we hear the angels harp
Thrill a loud welcome strain,
When thy freed spirit took its flight
From this sad world OF pain.
We hear the welcome Of the Lord
"Well done my servant, thou,
Thy pain is DER, thy victory won,
Come to my bosom now,
Come where no cares can enter In,
Come 20 thy home OF rest,
Meet with thy loved ones gone before,
And be foreve: b.est"
How can we mourn that she has Joined
The white robed seraph bandl
Can we not part with one so loved'
To dwell in that bright landi
For there no lowering clouds can come'
And there no hearts are riven;
pu, onold bliss and songs of love
Toriu through the courts Of Heaven. G

THE LAY OF THE LONELY.
BY LILY MAY.

BY LILY MAY.
am lonely, am lonely,
A heavy weight of pain,
Unwelcome and uncnlled Tor,
Comes stealing through my brain;
For cannot keep the thoughts back
That recklessly will flow,
And with their wildness ever bring
A heavy weight OF wo.
I feel like one just waking
From wild fever'd dream;
Which like the Pickering lamp light,
Leaves but ftful gleam;
For fancy's swift winged pencil
A phrenzied measure keeps;
And around my hearts green teir'rlis'
Wild desolation creeps.
! am lonely, am lonely,
The slightest breath has stirr'd,
In nv heart, deep thoughts of Sadness
No mortal ear hath heard.
/ have no power TO queii tneHl'
Iwould no, if ] could,
Such themes are followed ever,
BY feelings pure, and good.
NV heart was once filled with glodness,
I thought it could not be;
Life's silver stream would ever bring
A bitter draught to mel
The surface calm and unruffled,
So smoothly did it flow,
knew not of the tumult,
That lay conceal'd below.
But am lonely, lonely now,
Th, fountain has been stirr'd;
Not by coolest looks, an action,
Or hnrshly spoken word;
But theme of deepest import,
That spurns the hearts control,
Hath reused the fires within my breast,
And sunk into my soul.
But will not thus be daanted,
I'll yield not to dispair;
For we feed the dying embers,
To make brighter glare;
And never could entirely
Believe what 'cr I'm told;
For they always run together
The gravel and the gold.
What tho my heart is lonely now'
And feelings fount o'erfiows;
would not have it coldly turn
To flee another's woes;
For well know that gentle art
And kind words can refrain
The wild upheavings of the heart'
And tighten half the pain.
Then let me shun dcceitiul wiles'
And senseles folly spurn;
care for nuught can l but feel
Quiesccnt in return;
And all such utter loneliness
With heartfelt joys will blend;
For calm reflections ever prove
A blessing in the end.

Florence Carey was one of those be.
ings who charm, not by the witchlng
power of beauty, for she had no phos-
pherlc smiles, ever restless, ever chang,
ing, that eddy and dimple from cheek to
lips, and lip to cheeks, 'mong roses and
lilies blending; yet, she possest that
magnetic influence, or sympathetic pow
er which attracts to, and exerts con-
troll more potent than Beauty's spell,
over those minds which are by nature
elevated above the glitter and empty
show of this world. Her broad, mas
sive brow was so prominent as to give
her light gray eyes sunken and thought
full appearance; like slumberag fires
ready to be famed into a flame by the
first exciting breath of AIR. Her haxen
hair was braided in thin bands curvlng
on her temples; while the large blue
veins, stretching III lines across her pale
forehead, were visible through the
pearly skin. Excitement, intense thought
and the ardent pursuit of an object, were
predominatlng traits OF character, too
plainly visible in the Countenance OF
Florence Carey, to an intelligent and
careful observer. Guile and female dip
lomacy had no chamber OF abode in that
mind which looked out so openly on the
world, through those frank, honest fea-
lures; while her thin, firm lips seemed
ready to speak out, without stint or fear,
the convictions of her heart.

CHAPTER |.
Springs tender heritage and modest
flowers were disappearing before the
darkening foliage and deepening bloom
of advancing Summer, as the rosy tints
of morn melt into brightning beams CT
day. The southern gales, laden with
incense, and bearing on their halmy
wings the music of ten thousand voices,
swept softly over the spangled landscape.
cooling the heated brow OF retiring day;
and the broad luminary, that source OF
light, and life, and genial rays, was
dropping bis golden disk behind the dark
forest, which helted like an ebon zone
the western horizon. The green waves
of the Delaware, trembled as they glow
ed in the santing evening rays, which
sparkled and cleaned over the flashing
tide like molten gold. Two persons
were slowly vending their steps up the
sIoping lawn, winch descended to the
