THE FAMILY CIRCLE.
gy ELIZABETH caoNcHEs,

We were a happy, favored band;
Ours was a happy home;
The fell destroyer ruthless haad
Had never car ID to CO ne
Within our circle, to modest,
Or to disturb our peac.;
And for each other we were blast,
With love that re'sr will cease.
Orr fathers loved and beaming form,
We looked upon with pride;
Our kind protector from all harm,
Our counsellor and guide.
And there was mother-oh tha: na;ns--
There's music in it now;
We gazed upon her gentle srams,
And on her lovely brow,
With more than pleasure, yes wil 1--we,
That we could not unfold: &.
For unto her, so like dove,
Our sorrows all were to.4.
In sickness, il was she alone,
Who watched US day and night,
In health with ever gentle tone,
She taught US to co right.
Full well we knew a mothers love,
For us, was most divine;
A love as pure as that above,
As lasting too, as time,
And we had brothers, sisters, too
We loved each other well;
Anticipating, often too,
That long we thus should dwell.
LILLY, the youngest, darling child,
The favori,e of all,
With dark blue eyes SO soft and mild,
Wa destined soon TO fall.
She was the idol, yes tLejoy,
OF brothers, sisters deaf;
OH twas delight without alloy,
Her infant laugh to hear.
FnANKY, with little bIothe;s' pTanks,
Was well beloved by all;
His glossy, aaxen ringlets CHANGED,
On his pure white neck to fall.
Bnt deaths relentless, powerful hand,
Entered our happy home;
And from our favored, happyband,
LILLY and FRANZ were torn.
Death came again, and now he took,
Our mothers gentle form;
On her no more we now could look,
To heaven above she'd gone.
Again he camc--a brother Now,
In the silent dust was laid;
Then fathers marble, manly brow
Was lowered in the grave.
And Pm alone the only oac
OF all our circle lef';
Brothers, and sisters, parents gone,
OF all | am bereft.
But soon Well meet 10 part nc more,
In mansions Of the blesi;
ENJOY with them forevermore,
A happy, heavenly rest.
A heavenly rest -how'swect the sound.
May l, it with them share.
IT'S in Heaven alone that rest il Il found,
And there is no parting there.
