The Bride.

II hath passed, my daughter, fare thee welll
Pledged Is the faith, inscribed the vow;
Yet lot these gushing tear.drops speak

And When, on distant stranger shores,
Love beams from brighter eyes than mlns,
When other hands thy tresses weave,
Aud other lips are pressed to thine
O. then remember her Who grieves
With parent-fondnsss for her child;
Whose lonely path OF thee bercft,
Is like some desert lone aud wild,
Where erst simple noweret grew.
Where srst one timid wild bird sung;
Now lonely, dark, aud desolate.
No birds or flowers its shades among.
And when thy children climb the knee.
And whisper Mother, mother dear"

Thou loavost broken hearted here;
And as their sinless offerings rise
To Gods own footstool, let them crave
A blessing in her memory,
Who slumbsrs in the peaceful grave.
When caro- shall dim the sunny eye
Aud one by one the ties are broken
That bind thoe to the earth, this kiss
Will lingor yet--thy mothers token;
Twill speak her changeless love for thce,
Speak what she strives in vain to tell,

Lines Addressed to my Deceased Mother

. " One Mi ght as lay musing
The spirit said to me,
Go blow the Gospel trumpet,
And sound the Jubilee"
This little verse, dear mother,
Forever dear to me,
Is all that's left me, mother.
OF what was taught by thee.
Long years have passed. dear mother,
Since first learned to say
These words thou taught me, mother,
In cbildhood's early day.
Thou went away, dear mother,
And left me this alone
To call thee back, dear mother,
To childhood's happy home.
No trace remains, dear mother
On memory's mculdy page,
OF how thou looked, dear mother,
At that my early age.
But this one verse, dear mother,
Is ever dear to me:
Because twas taught, dear mother,
While seated on thy knee.
Then come what may, dear mother,
In life's uneven way,
This verse thou taught me- mother,
Will make me think to pray
That when like thee, dear mother,
I'm called from earth away,
Twill bs to meet thee, mother,
In life's uneuding day. II.
