AMONG THE SHADOWS.
BY sALIIE NJ. BRYAN.

The publication of such an exquisite poem as
this may be regarded an incident in newspa-
per's life :-LouisrWe Journal.
Love and Religion sleep in daylights glare,
But in the hush OF twilight and of night
The knecing spirit cries-our Father God
And the fond heart sigAs over earthly names !
While the dark shades were slowly settling here,
Making faithful picture Of that hour,
And while the stars assembled in the SKIES
To hold their court round the Eternal throne,
] have been rapt in sweet and burning thoughts,
Longings half of earth and half of Heaven.
Through the husbed gloom the yellow moon-rise
Weird and beautiful as though it were [eomes,
The copy of a scene in Fairy-land
And the black waves of night are drifted by
AS if to quench the stars. Roll on, oh clouds,
And on the old shores of Infnity
Break while my heart is breaking Ay,sweep o'er
The fires of heaven and hide their mockery
From the intense of darkness in my life
Where lights of such glorious glow went out.
knelt in silence by the night
And noted well the stars, to see
If that their smiles were cold as bright
Oh, were they only mocking me
With that SOFT earnest gaze which seemed
AS though they knew Of whom dreamed
spoke not-yet burning prayer
Sweled from my haunted heart and brain
And seemed to thrill the silent air.
Asking to look on thee again
To hear thy VOICES worshipped spell,
Though it could only say-farewell!
thought the stars-and angels heard,
murmured We ,ciH meet once more!
And all that night my dreams were stirred
By voices from the Eden-shOre,
Whose sweet and melting minstrelsy
Was whispering music-words of thee.
'Ts past-the fairy-dream is past
The sweetness OF its spell is DER
Ny wldered heart awakes at last
knoc we shall meet no more
And so press my clouded brow
And think-but thought is chaos now.

NIGHT MusIC.-'As silent as night = How
absurd the expression The night is full Of music
more sublime than HandeFs, more thrilling to the
thoughtful soul than the notes Of Lind. Listen!
Yonder comes the east wind down from the airy
heights of the mountains. moaning and signing
through the pines with sorrow and a cadence
Divine. Richer and grander than thousand
barps of Hous--its melancholy is more profound
than requiem or Cathedral chant for the dead.
Close under cover of yonder clump of weeds and
bushes, cover the tiny cricket aud katydid. Soft
and sweet is their song, and it cryeth perpetualy
of the falling leaf and the approaching Autumn.
They are the beautiful little choir chanting round
the great tomb Of Summer, reminding us that
Nature has her mourners as well men. Far of,
from yonder hill, echoing and resoundng among
crags and woodland. bark to the constant bay of
the faithful Watchdog. Never did organst or
vocalist produce such food of recollectons: 1t
carries the mind back, as we stand here under
the sparkling candelebras of Heaven, to the
haunts of youth and boyhood. The "reminiscences
Of hundred moonlight nights, as we chased the
mock fox over the neighboring wastes-the dearer
memories of stolen kiss, and a multitude of
kindred thoughts food upon the heart, until
manhood forsakes US and
tears begin to flow
Oh yes, there is music in the night; sweet,
solemn, faithful music
THE sounds of Natures vespcrs blending,
With distant echo from the fold and lea,'
music for the heart, and music for the BRAIN
sounds that soothe, and notes that sadden
Thoughts of the sparkling eye and the rosy lip
that sparkled and breathed deep love for us, long
years ago, are again renewed. Thoughts of those
who once trod with us the primrose paths of life,

cession of broken men, poorer in purse but wiser
in mind; but the loss of those who will never re-
turn-who have fallen sacrifices to an inpatient

vain for the return of dear friends who joined in
that wild expedition. On the banks OF Frazer
the lonely graves of some are made; not few
have been swallowed up in the mad gulf of its
swift waters; while still others have left their
bones to bleach in the midst of the impenetrable
forests of the interior. Alas! how many mothers

familiar face will never more be seen, and whose
fate will remain mystery forever.-SOnora Her.

FERGUsoN.-It is TO he deeply regretted that
80 brilliant man could not have been preserved
10 his country. The lapse of years would have
doubtless have corrected many Of his faults, and
experience would have matured and mellowed
the rich powers of his intellect The meditation
of mutual friends might have prevented, in the
first instance, we suppose, the fatal meeting. Be
that as it may, it is too late now to talk of what
might, or ought to have been done AS for us,
while we grieve for the loss of so great an intel
lect to the State, and so prominent and efficient
a leader of the Democratic party, and while we
weep over the grave Of genius, our heart more
deeply bleeds for one, far away from this scene
Of mourning, whose tears will fall like rain, at
this sad news, but notupon the new-made sod that
covers the dead. HOw shall the melancholy story
be broken TO that aged mother, in the distant
State of Illinois? Who can indite the line or the
word that shall bend to the earth, as if stricken
by storm, that gray and venerable head o,
thou accursed spirit Of wounded pride or vanity,
how little do we realize how utterly evil thou
art, until we behold desolation like this Ma
rysriHe Democrat.
