THE BEREAvED.
BY MARY NC.


She has put of her twilight robes of wo,
And walks among us one once OF us
A Pleiad paled, but not lost utterly,
Among her sister stars Her eye is bright
But not with girlhood's gladness. 1t has gazed
Too long upon the gate of Death whose bars
Cast midnight shadows on her morning sky
Yet family, in that portals opening hour,
A glimTse-a glimmering of the far-of Heaven
Flashed on her eye, and kindled it to light
Death and the grave can never quench again
II is a story that has had its type
In many hearts She leaned upon stan
That snapped asunder in its spring strength
She loved one whom the angels loved too well
To leave him TO her hearts idolatry.
She heard the knell of Destiny, and long
She madly wrested with the will Of Heaven.
The whirIwind rent her soul the tempest raved
Above her bleeding heart; but in the hush
OF agony there fell :" Il still, small voice y
Upon the heart waves-and they too were still
Still. hut for one strong tide, that since
Ebbs from the shore of Earth The throbs that shoo
Her very being to eonvulsiveness,
Were hushed for his sake first and then for Hesyen
she made u puIOW OF that qulVtTHS nedIt,
To lull the loved one sweetly to the sleep
Whose dreams are dreams no longer
Calm and strong
She smiled, and pointed upward, when the eye,
Quenching in death mists for the last time looked
It's human love in hers--its human fear
A light that was not human lit that smile,
Pouring its radiance on the passing soul,
TO gid its latest shadow Looking up,
lie smiled again--his last Of earthly smiles
She wears it in her heart of hearts forever
Ere she can bear it to his spirit-home,
She long may wander in our wilderness.
She is content to stay-and smile-and suffer
For when the "golden gates unclose for her,
She knows spirit, that has waited long,
Will clasp hers in a wordless welcoming,
Making the very memory of tears
A strange dream Of the night misname Life
Oh when the sad smile trembles on her lip,
In tenderness for other hearts that ache,
She would not barter hers suiferers-boon
Of powerto sympathize, for even the love
Most fearless, sness, sorrowess, in heaven

be regarded by the intelligent masses of the
people as mere puppets dancing upon the wires
moved by the hand of slavery, they would not
regard their own Oracular sayings and pom

truth is, our political leaders are teaching us to

They look much more natural and life-like in

Upon parent tree;,
We thought that form so fragile,
A rose could never be;
But since the wind, in passing,
Has broughta a gentle shower,
The bud that seemed so dropping.
Is now a queenly flower.
A jewel once was hidden
Within a rayless niue,
Amid the dreary darkness
How could its lustre shine!
They bore il from its prison,
That peerless, priceeSs gem!
And now in gorgeous splendor,

Oh. thus there may be buried,
Within some human mind,
A treasure that is hidden
That only love could fnd!
And like the bud that opened,
When soft the rain appeared.

When by affection cheered,
Then Judge not thou too harshly,
Nor yet too soon condemn;
For every SOULS flower,
And every hearts genif
Perhaps a word may soften
A spirit stained By sin--
