My Wife,
A SEVERE

WHILE RECOVERING FROM A SEVERE
SICKNESS.
| HEARD her, O how cautiously,
Open my bedroom door,
| heard her step as noiselessly
To my couch across the floor,
| felt her hands my temple press,
Her lips just touching NINE,
And in my anguish and distress
'Twere sinful to repine.
Our pilgrimage is nearly through
We've passed life's mountain brow
THOUGHT | loved her years ago
IKSow love her now,
Her face was lowering over mine,
Her warm tears on my check,
Her WHISPERED PRAYER of thought divine
Rose fcrvently, but meek.
Her bosom rested on my arm,
felt is troublous throc,
| knew the cause of its alarm,
! knew its source Of Woe:
And then the blood my system through,
Came pressing on my brow
| THOUGHT loved her years ago
IKNow love her BOW.
Thus watched that tired and patient one
BY night as well as day,
In sadness and almost alone,
It'll weeks had passed away.
Bereft of sleep-depriyed of rest
Opprcss'd-born down with care
TIL Oh her labors have been blessed,
For God has heard her prayer.
: Her cheek resumes its woaton glow,
And placid is her brow
| THoEGHr loved her years ago
; IKxow love her now.

A ACoMPLIMENT.-As a lady or the
Frotesque family, who possessed great
personal beauty, was walking along
narrow lane, she perceived just behind
her a bawker of earthenware driving
an ass with two panniers laden with
stock and trade. To give the animal
his master room to pass, the lady
stepped aside, which 50 frightened the
donkey that he ran away, and had NOT
nroceeded far when he fell, and great
mart of the crockery was broken. Inc
lady became alarmed lest the man
sbonld load her with abuse, If not Of
fer to insult her; but he merely e1
claimed:
..Never mind madam; Balaam's as
was frighsened by an angel.
