an old German pocket-book.
On Sunday afternoon, IN summertime, the
village children went into church to be
t.ught their ca,echism. Among them was
Amy, the shepherds step-daugh,er, some
seven years old. She was .ender-hearled
child and when the clergyman, after speak

"All people who would please God, must
do good according to their means, be those
means ever SO lillle," she could not refrain
from weeping.
For, Amy was very poor, and felt inno-
Gently persuaded that she had no power
whatever to gladden. by her love or kind
ness any earthly creature not even lamb
Z or young dove. She had neither, poor
child.
So, Amy came out of church with sadness
in her heart, thinking that God would take
no pleasure in her, because (but that was
only her own ides) she had never ye, done
good 10 any one.
Not wishing that her eyes, now red with
weeping, should be seen at home, she wen
into the fields, and laid herself down under
q wild rose bush. There, she remarked
that the leaves of the shrub, tarnished with
dust, were dry and dropping, and that the
pretty pink blossoms looked pale and fad
ed; for there had been no rain for very
long time.
She fastened 10 brook that flowed BY

in strength and beauty, and joyfully and

After that, little Amy wandered on by the
side of The brook in the meadows, whence
she had obtained The wafer. As she gazet
upon it. she almost envied the silver stream

SHADOWS.
She died among her native hills,
She sleeps beneath her native sod.
Her presence all the homestead fills,
Albeit she is with God;
And shapes of her peculiar grace
Lend their religion to the place.
Her sprite haunts not the hillside spring,
Although her footprints linger there
'Tis not where the white reses cling,
She cultured with such care;
Nor hides in any woodland nook,
By dripping well or whispering brook.
'Tis not in the first star that comes
To greet the evening with its glance,
Nor where the jocund locust huns,
Or jack-o'- Lanterns dance,
Nights jealous shades conceal her not,
Nor any dim, suspicious spot.
Yet twas her finger beckoned me
Just at the turning of the path;
That shadow meath the aspen tree
Her living semblance hath;
And oft I've spled her at the spring,
Just as she loved to sit and sing.
A-tiptoe to the study room
| catch her busy in her books
There somewhat in her chambers gloom
Doth wear her very looks.
Besides the graves-among the dead,
She 5 with me when the moon is red.
Mute ministers! thus ever be!
With fond companionship attend
Mo heavy steps by shore and sea-
On to the solemn end.
Control my living heart, and rise
To close and kiss my dying eyes.
Sweet sprite, thy solace interweave
- With-otter thoughts and dreams than mine
That coarser visions may perceive
The rision | de6ne,-
That wilder, wearer hearts may share
Part of the peace provided there.
