Thou one love-lit ray from my childhood's fresh
green!
Thou star-crowned and bcauteous! all hail to thee
now!
Shed the glow on my heart from Thy radient brow !
Fold thy white wings round my sad heart awhile,
Danish all grief with thy joy giving smile;
Bring back the bloom to my heart-Aowers waste,
Sing soft evangels to lull me to rest.
All the wild flowers of poesy mine
Pve brought, my bright Queen, to thy desoate shrine
To WOO thee again, from thy heavenward fight
But they've faded away in thy ABSENCE my light!
Earths dying beauty is all round me now;
Stern Winters coming with cicled brow,
To check for awhile the brooks soft gushing song,
AS it leaps o'er its pebbly bed, dancing along.
But yet while the winter gods regning without,
And scatt'ring with chill breath the dead leaves
about,
In my heart thou art reigning, my beautiful Queen,
Shedding glory within like the sweet summer sheen.
Then welcome again to thy home in my heart,
My song-bird! my star-crowned oh, never depart !
For the wd-aowers Of love have laid on thy shrine
Will die if thy hope-light e'er ceases to shine

THE FESTIVAL
A SKETCH FOR CHRISTMAS +!
ATTHE BROWN COTTAGE.

The crimson curtains were drawn-the' light
,aRom the hickory fire cleaned and shimered over
the carpet of the same warm hue-gay ruddy
flashes scintilated here and there about the
well-kept furniture. An aged couple sat in OPP
posite corners Of the fireplace. On a low seat,
| at the feet of the white headed old man, was
fair young girl Of fifteen; one arm was
thrown over the veterans knee, the other hung
carelessly across the silky neck of huge New
Foundland dog Near circular table, in cor
ner-on which stood an astral lamp, and over
which were strewn magazines and books-were
a youthful pair in earnest conversation. The
tall dark haired youth was the youngest child
of the old couple, newly dubb'd physician, of
superior abilities, and heart warm generous, and
large enough to embrace the whole world.
The pensive maiden at his side was the
betrothed of his boyhood; an oppressed or
phan who had for four years felt the bitter bon
dagc of mistrust and surveillance. The oppressor
had gone to .er long account. Could that GER
tie heart have returned evil for evil, most truly
would she have been ayenged, in witnessing the
undying rcmorsc, the agonizing terror of the
departing soul as it, III its wild delirum, recount
ed the wrongs Gone her young klnswoman, to-
ward whom she had vowed to show and feel a
parents kindness and love. On the morrow
the coming christmas norn-they were to be
wooded in the neighLoring 'chappel.
"Annie, darling, read ME those letters Ct
your poor uncles once again before we attend
to worship; you will find them there in the Bi-
bic where put them this afternoon"
The young girl sprang lightly up and in few
moments commenced:

this day through his bounty, and there is no
charitable institution in the place to which be

X
Dinner was on the table, real Christmas
dinner. The clergyman, his wife and daughters,
and a youth who had stood up with Annie, were
the only guests present. Edith's uncle had been
invited but had just sent regret promising that
he would call to tea.
Sincerely did the pious Doctor Smith appear
to sympathize with the old people in their anx-
iety and bereavement, but he wound up every
fresh expression Of coincidence with the hope
that it might be mistake, or that as Charlie
was so given when in trouble to look at the
darkest side of the picture, he might still
be alive, and that his disease possibly did not
terminate in consumption. But no, the old la
dy would not be convinced the old man shook
bis head doubtfully. elf my poor boy was
alive he would not keep us in such anxiety"
said his mother ave wrote Of this marriage
two months ago.. If he were living and able, we
know that he would have been present." contin-
ued the father.
"Hope for the best, my parents" added the
young groom who so happy himself, endeavored
to cherish the belief that there could be no real
cause for sorrow on that day at least.
The twilight came and the party presented
pretty much the same appearance as on the
preceding evening, excepting that the guests of
the day were still with them. Annie, who sat
between her grand parents, whispered to the old
lady, "Grand-ma, did you ever see Doctor Smith
so lively and yet sometimes when he is laugh
ing so gayly, can see him look at you with
tears in his eyes and did You notice how lie
keeps looking at the door as if he expected it
to open? Oh dear, there is a carriage stop
ping. would think it was Mr.. Martin but he
never uses a carriage"
A laundering knock resounded through the
room, and whilst the servant fastened to open
the door, two little pale faces, pressed against
the window pane, startled Annie who in her
surprise had parted the curtains Uncle Tom

WHATLS A YEAR.


What is year? |'Tis but a wave
On life's dark rolling stream,
Which is so quickly gone that we
Account it but dream:
IT'S but single earnest throb
Of Times old iron heart,
Which tireless now and strong as when
It's first with life did start.
What is year? IT'S but turn
Of Times old brazen wheel,
Or but page upon the book
Which time must shortly seal;
IT'S but step upon the road
Which we must travel DER,
A few more steps, and we shall walk
Life's weary road no more.
What is year? 'Tis but breath
From Times old nostrils blown,
As rushing onward. o'er the earth,
We hear it's weary moan.
'Tis like the bubble on the wave,
Or dew upon the lawn
As transient as the mist of morn
Beneath the summers sun.
What is year? 'Tis but type
Of lifes oft changing scene;
Youths happy morn comes gaily ON,
With hills and valleys green;
Next Summers prime succeeds the Spring,
Then Autumn with tear
When comes old Winter-dcath and all
Must find level here.
