her conversion to Christ she became
deeply interested in the missionary

fixed upon the foreign field as the sphere
in which she hoped to spend her strength

Death of the Children.

ny II. W. LoNGFELLow.
There is Reaper, whose name is Death,
And, with sickle keen,
He rcaps the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
"Shall l have naught that is fair" saith he
"Havc naught but the bearded grain
Tho She breath of these flowers is sweet to
me,
will give them all back again"
He gazed at the flowers with fearful eyes,
He kissed their dropping leaves
1t was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his sheavcs.
"My Lord has need of those flowers gay"
The Reaper said and smiled;
"Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where he was once a child"
They shall all bloom in fields OF light,
Transplanted by my care,
And saints upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear.
And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she could find them all again
In the fields of light above
0, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took the flowers away.

Another lapse Of silence.
Did | understand you to say, sir that
