IsEx ItT0TfTMR'S GRAVE,

"oi that sacred spot,-lull long will cherish
That little church-yurd, though silent and lone;
And though what prize ON earth may all perish,
I'll remember the spot meath the cold marble
son6."
Is there a spot on earth dearcr to
me than my mothers grave? Ay, pf'
for there IS where my earthly hopes
were first blightedl There is where
shed the first tears of sorrow. IT'S a
sacred spot in my memory, where
was called to part with her by whom
was taught to practice picty; to put
my trust III One whose arm is strong to
deliver.
What sadness weighed down my poor
heart as | heard from our Pastors lips,
"earth to earth, h,--dust to dust" and
when the grave was filed to which she
had been consigned. ] was then very
young, and since then have wandered,
but throughout my wandcrings that
halIowcd spot oft claimed my thoughts.
IT'S i'll beautiful Church Yard in one
VI ViAS A7Oi Iil-lLdHiti III GOuutlCS Vi L. tllll-
sylvania. Mcthinks her spirit used to
meet me there, thing so serene.
The gentle zcphyrs Of evening floating
by, bearing with them the rich perfumG
Of the flowrets which grow on that lit
tic mound. I'll cherish while / live
that day of sorrow; for It's a beacon
to Light my pathway through thought
less world; the very remembrance
strengthens those solemn VOWS ! made
when she bade me stand beside her bed
OF death, and there invoked Heaven s
blessing upon her son.
Yes, before God, [ vowed that J
would strive to meet my mother in that
peaceful cline.
Hast thou, dear reader, been called
to mourn the loss Of a fond and aficc-
tionato mother? If thou hast, re-
member thy tears remember thy VOWS,
and as oft as thou canst repair to the
ohurch-yard in which she rests, there
lift thy heart to God.
Go when the moon sheds her mellow
rays Ger the tombs Of the dead. that
the tender feelings of thy better nature
may be aroused. FRANC0NIA.

HOME.
INSCRIBED TO FRIEND.
When gently falls the twilghts shade
Around the dying day;
While from the earth the sunbeams fade,
My thoughts are far away;
With kindred hearts around the hearth
Where often we have met,
The hours Of sorrow, hours of mirth,
Are all remembered yet.
Amid the dear old scenes of home,
Among my native hills,
Where boyh ood's waud'ring steps could roam
Beside the babbling rills,
Whose music fills my day dreams now
d, And in the nights long hours,
Their fragrant breezcs fan my brow
With perfume from the flowers.
The dearest ties that earth can bind,
Are woven round my heart,
The richest gems that wealth can find
Would fail TO take a part;
The sacred love of home that burns
Now in my bosoms core,
For still my brooding spirit yearns
To read its magic lore.
The sable pail of night has fell
The holy stars appear,
And night-bird's song and vespcr bell
Are all the sounds hear;
And now the pcarly dew-drops fall
Upon my throbbing brow,
And cherished themes of home are all
That throng my memory now.
