The Three Sisters.
eThe three sisters were buried side by side;
white roses lay upon their breasts, and the
coffins were crowned with flowers"
OH bear them to their rest!
White roses on their breasts and in their hands
Through slumber deep and blest
They pass in beauty to the eternal lands.
Theirs was no outworn life
Of failing hopes and unremembcred vows;
The worlds sad care and strife
Had traced no sorrows on their marble brows
o, call them not too young!
Gods peace was on their Gps-their life was
love;
Long was their stay-too long
For angels who had left their homes above.
The weeping Spring shall come
And spread the paths they loved with clistcn
ing green;
The jay shall build her home
In arbors where their favoritc seats have been.
They shall come back no more,
Morning shall miss their glad sweet smiles, and
deep
The pines perpetual roar.
Break Ger the spot where, side by side, they
sleep!
And will yc still complain.
Whose cheeks with unavuling tears are wctl
They shall be yours again!
Beyond this prison house of dark regret
If perfect 81. were ours,
le could not mourn them lost, but humbly say:
r. 'The Father gave these flowers,
And the dear Father taketh them awayl"
O.! bear them to their rest;
White roses on their breasts and in their hands
Through slumber deep and blest
They pass in beauty to the eternal lands.

friends. They will understand we think with what
heariness congratulate them on the restoration of
the old and established relations Charleston Mercu-
