SOUNDS FROM HOME.-The day after Mr..
Field landed at Trinity Bay he received the
following despatch from his brother:
''Your family is all at Stockbrdge and well
The Joyful news arrived there Thursday, and
almost overwhelmed your wife. Father re-
joiced like a boy. Mother was wild with
delight, brothers, sisters-all were everjoyed.
Bells were rung; guns fired; children let out
of school, shouted, '.the cable is laid, THE
cable is laid" The village was in a tumult
of joy. My dear brother, congratulate you.
God bless .youl DAVID DUDLEY FIELD

On the distant prairie,
Where the heather wild, ---a---
In its quiet beauty lived and smiled,
Stands little cottage,
And creeping vine,
Loves around its porch to Irvine;
In that peaceful dwelling, was a lovely child,
With her blue eyes, beaming soft and mild,
And the wavy ringets, of her ffaxen hair
Floating in the summer air.
CHORUS.
Fair lily, Joyous and free,
Light Of that prairie home was she.
Every one who knew her, felt the gentle
power,
OF Rosalie, the Prairie Flower III
On that distant prairie,
When the days were long,
Tripping like fairie, sweet her song,
With the sunny blossoms,
And the birds at play,
Beautiful and bright they
When the twilight shadows gathered IN the
And the voice of nature sunk TO rest
Like cherub kneeng, seemed the lovely
child
With her gentle eyes so mild.
Chores Fair as a lily, &c.
But the summer faded,
And chilly blast,
Ger that happy cottage swept at last,
When the autumn song birds,
Woke the dewy morn,
Little Prairie Flower was gone;
For the angels whispered softly in her ear
''Chid thy father calls thee; stay not here"
And they gently bore her, robed in spotess
white
To their blissful home of light
Though we shall never look on her more,
Gone with the love and joy she bore,
Far away she's blooming, in fadeles bower,

1he Empty Cradle.

The death ola little child il to the
mothers heart like the dew en- aplant
from which u bud has perished. The
plant lifts up its head in treHhened
greeness to the morning light; 30 the
m others soul gathers, from the dark
sorrow which she has passed, Il fresh
Frightening of her Heavenly hopes
As she bends oyer th9 empty cru
die, and fancy brings her sweet infant
before her, a ray 81 divine l'yt; is
on the chcrub face. 1t is her son,
still with the seal Of Immortality on
his brow. She feels that Heavep is
the only atmosphere where her pre-
cious flower could unfold without
spot or blemish, and she would not
recall the lost. But the anniversary
Of his departure seems to bring his
spiritual presence near. She indul-
ges in that tender grief which sootheS
like an opiate in pain, all hard pas,
sages and cares in life. The world
to her rs no longer filled with human
love and hope in the future, SO glorir
Gus with Heavenly love and joy; she
has treasures of happiness which the
worldly, unchastened heart never con-
ceived. The bright fresh flowers
with which she has decorated her room
the apartment where her infant died,
are mementos of the far brighter
hopes now dawning on her dreams.
She thinks of the glory and beauty
of the New Jerusalem, where the lit
tle foot will never find thorn among
the flowers, to rendera shoe ne'essa-
ry. Nor villa pillow be wanted for
the dear head reposing on the breast
of the Saviour. And she knows her
infant is there in that world Of etsr-
nal bliss.
She has marked one passage in that
book, to her cmphatically the Word
of Life, now lying closed on the tot
let table, which she daily reads: Suf-
fer little children to come unto me for
such is the kingdom of Heaven"

Last Night.
PAUL PprrER.

Last nigh. again saw my love, and by
Her side sat, and gazed into her eyes,
And felt their beams, that now glanced
fitfully
Aside, adown, like light of April skies,
And now in full tide poured into my soul,
Enkndled deep responsive fire in me,
felt my being glow, andrise, and roll,
Then charmed lie, as lies charmed sea.
Long time into her eyes depth, dreamily
gazed, and gazed, until seemed to soar
Within an ever-deepening, ceaseless eve,
Where she, with roses twined, dwelt
evermore,
Aud rosy chapets for the loved did woave.
Anon, the love-tones she did lisp the
while,
Stole over me, and mingled with that sky ;
And then woke, and saw the blush, the
smile,
That hovered on her face retiringly;
And to that blissful heaven again | flee.

Old Psalm Tunes.

There is, to us, moro touching pa
thos, heart thrilling expression, and
more feeling displayed, in some of the
psalm tunes, than in q whole batch Of
modernisms. The strains 60 home
and the "lountain of the great depth is
broken up'--the great depth of un-
fathomable feeling that lies far, far
below the surface of the world hard
ened heart and as the unwonted, yet
unchecked tear starts in the eye and
softened spirits yield to their inAu-
cnce and shake off the load Of earth
ly care, rising purified and spiritual
lied, into clearer atmosphere.
Strange, inexplicablc associations
brood over the mind, "like the far of
dream of Paradise" mingling their
chaste meloncholies with musing OF
still, subdued, more, cheerful charac-
ter. How many glad hearts in the
olden time have rejoiccd in these
songs of praise-how many sighed
out their compliments in those plain
tive notes, that steal sadly yet sweet.
ly on the ear--hearts that, now cold
in death, are laid to rest, around that
sacred tune, within those walls they
were SO often swelled with emotion.
