DEATH OF A CHILD.

Mrs. Johnston, of Ballykelbeg, Ireland, is the author of little volume of " Lays for the Lost One," in which the following lines occur: There used to be small foot climbing on our stair There used to be blithe step running here and
 there; The memory of a sweet voice fingers on mine ear ]; It mocks the lonely silence ever reigniDg here. We had little plaything in our garden bowers; We loved little white hand plucking garden
 flowers;
 Then tree, and shrub, and blossom, well known
 friends became And welcome were the spring birds coupled wiih
 his name.
 used to feel soft hand batting on my cheek; used to kiss two soft lips-~loved to hear them
 speak; Then, merry was the playing on our parIor floor; Now, nought is left but silence-silence evermore.

THE FIRM BANK.

Supposed to have been written by Rev. Rowlar Ill, at time when public credit in Great Britai as shaken by the failure of several banks: l have never failing bank, A more than golden store; No earthly bank is half so rich; How can then be poor? 'Iis when my stock is spent and gone, And without groat, I'm glad to hasten to my bank. And beg little note Sometimes my banker smiling says, Why don't you oftener come? And when you draw little note, Why not larger sum? Why live so niggardly and poor? Your banks contains plenty: Why come and take a one pound note when you might have twenty? Yen, twenty thousand times told Is but trifing sum, To what your Father has laid up. Secure in Christ his Son. Since then my banker is so rich, l have no cause to borrow; I'll live upon my cash to-day, And draw again tomorrow. I've been thousand times before. And never was rejected: Sometimes my banker gives me mora Than asked for or expected. Sometimes I've felt little proud. lVe managed things so clever; But ah, before the day Is gone I've felt as poor as ever. Sometimes with blushes on my face, Just at the door 1 stand; l know if Moses keep me back, surely must be damned, Should all the Banks of Britain break, The Bank of England smash, Bring Tn your notes to Zion's bank, fou'll surely have your cash. And if you have but one small note. Fear not to bring it in; Come boldly to the bank of Grace; The Banker Is within. All forged notes will be refused, MAN MERITS are rejected: There's not a single note will pass That God has not accepted 'Tis only those beloved by God. Redeemed by precious blood, That ever had Q note to bring those are gifts Of God. Tho thousand ransomed souls may say They have no notes at all, Because they feel the plague of sin, So ruined by the fall. This bank is full of precious notes, All signed and sealed and free, Though many doubting souls may say, There Is not one for me.  Base unbelief will lead the child To say what is not true; tell the soul who feels self-lost, These notes belong to you. The leper had little note
 "Lord if thou wilt thou can "- The Banker cashed the little note, And healed the sickly man. We read of one young man indeed Whose riches did abound; But in the Bankers book of grace This man was never found. But see the wretched dying thief Hang blythe Bankers side; He cried, " Dear Lord, remember me-" He got his cash-and died.
