PATHETIC ScENE-JoY FOLLOWED The
milwaukee American says, a most touching
occurrence Is still fresh in our memory:
Tne wife Of one of our sailors on the recent
wreck was upon the deck with an infant, only
three weeks old in her arms, to learn if her
husband was alive or drowned. She was in q
state bordering en- frenzy
On being told that he was dead, she gave
one long sob Of agony; while the blue eyes
OF the babe were turned smilingly to her face,
and cried N accents of most heart-thriIling
despair, 0, is he gone, am / alone, is he
dead-drowned Is my man gone, and will
no never come to me.
In. this state she returned to her desolate
home, no one ventured to offer words of SYM
pathy, for 1t seemed utterly useless and a
mockery. The light and warmth of this poor
woman life had gone out forever All through
the long hours she sat weeping and rocking to
and fro, and pressing her child to her heart
Tor 1t was i'll, till midnight. Then she heard
feeble step and knock at the door she
said, "Whe's there? n at is I,n the ia.
miiiar voice replied. She gave a scream of
joy and admitted her husband.
Nothing could exceed the woman's frantic
delight. She threw herself upon the floor and
Wept, and chung to her husbands neck and
laughed I'LL the tears come again. Such a
happy re union was q foretaste of heaven.
Love like this can but be repaid with life
time of devotion. -
The sailor it seems had left the wreck and
at the imminent peril of his life reached the
shore and had walked twenty miles ere he
reached his home

THE LONGING.

BIT JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL. -
OF al the myriad moods Of mind
That through the soul come thronging,
Which one was e'er so dear, so kind,
So beautiful as Longing? @-F -
The thing we long for. that we are
For one transcendent moment,
Before the present poor and bare g.
Can make Its sneering comment.
sun through our paltry stir and strife,
Slows down the wished Ideal.
And longing moulds In CLAW, what life
Caves in the marble real; 49, .-.
To let the new nfe in, we know,
Desire mI,st ope the portal;
ferhaps the longing to be SO
Helps make the soul immortal.
Longing Is Gods fresh heavenward viii
with our poor eerthward striving;
we q1ench 1t that we may be stiu
Content with merely living;
But would we learn that hearts full scope
Which we are hourly wronging,
Our lives must climb from hope to hope,
And realize our longing.
All let US hope that to our praise
Good God not only reckons
The moments when we tread his ways,
But when the spirit beckons,-
That some slight good is also wrought
Beyond self satisfaction,
When we are simply go1d in thought,
Howe'er we fall In action.
