Softly
Still thy wild unbidden beating,
Throbbng heart
Man 10 rading-Time is fieetihg--
Friends must patti
Softly!
Spirit hush thy vain repining;
To the tomb
We, though living-life ia dying
Soon will como.
Softly!
List l hear the under-groaning,
As it waves,
tBody for the spirit moaning)
Deer the graves.
Softly!
Chsrub wings arc sadly signing
in the air;
Guarding atoms, meath US lying,
Waiting here.
Softly!
Gently
Angel voices swcctly trilling
Songs Of praise,
Fin the soul cntranced, with thrilling
Swsc amaze:
Gently
Soc the dreamy shadows fitting
Tombs around
Hssl tho bodies, graves are quitting
At tho sound.
Gently!
Spiritual and mortal meeting
Swset emb race
Union bfitf-esch quick retreating
To its place.
Gently!
Cynthia fainter Smiles warning
or tho day,
Tho vision, at the blash Of morning,
Helts away.
GENTLY

repeated after her those cxulting words with
such an energy as to cause all to turn their
attention to her. and 10 with that triumph

The first of May came. Jane Testers faith
or and bcrcaved sisters remained in tho same
dwelling; she whose only anxiety had been
for them was removed to her heavenly man-
sion.
Her last days on earth had been rendered
comfortable and happy by her whose still
active and self denying bcnevolence continued
to relieve the suffericngs of many who yet
remain in our midst; to impress. as it were,
the hearts of those who have means with the
God given truth, that lit is better to give

OF Thrifty Parson -
" \ donation party was given the other day
to clergyman in one Of our New England
villages, and among the articles he received
was superb tile from the Genn of the
place. The parson much pleased with the
hat. ventnred to ask the donor what snch
hat ought to be worth That is an eight
dollar hat" was the reply The parson turned
it over again, renewed his thanks to the hat
ter and remarked that it was d" very fine, very
fine indeed y and so they parted
The next day the parson wended his way to
the hatters store, and after the customary sau-
tation, took him aside, observed that he was
not accustomed to wear hats worth eight dol
lars that four dollar hat was good enough
for him-a plenty. He concluded by propos-
ing to exchange the hat he had received for
four dollar one, and to take the balance
in money Pact"
