Truly did The hand Of the dark angel make q
sad havoc in the happy little household, when
from Its coronet, with one rspacious grasp he tore
two Of its brightest and dearest gems. No won
der tho beroaved ard disconsolate mother should
so bitterly bemoan the uniimely loss Of her treas
ures, and Ike Rebecca, weeping for her children,
refuse 10 be comforted. But ah It should be to
her q comforting thought. that our Father had
need Of the jewels which he had loaned her but
for whik, and that now taey sparkle, side by
side, in his dazzling diadem.
Both we're sprightly. interesting little boys;
and Bidder" as the older was endearingly CALI
ed, possessed q mind Of unusual brilisncy and
vigor, and was already wSathing his brow with
the greenest laurels. For each other they ever
manifested the most tender affection, and it Is
we'll that they are not divided in death. Little
MI Il, the pet ,f the household, was a postum

Ing in the reflection, that the little babe who new
or knew a fathers fsce OF a fathers love on earth,
has gone 10 seek him beyond the dark valley,
and may DO now nesting in his warm bosom and
~prattlipg Of The loved cnes whom he left below.
TO THE BEREAvED MOTHER.
Within the grave. yards lone retreat,
Beneath the willows shade
Two little mounds the wanderer greet
Two little babes are laid.
Two fragile buds by death were torn
From or their pnrcLt stem
Were back to @ by angels borne,
To deck his diadem.
They laid them here exempt from care,
And from their little heads,
Culled two soft locks Of radiant hair,
As relics Of thesdead.
Then placed around their angel forms,
Flowers not more fair and sweet;
Twined rosebuds in their tiny hands,
And s~asmines round their feet.
Pure a. the snowflake Gro it falls,
And takes the stain Of earth;
With scarce one faint Of mortal life,
Except their mortal birth
They turned aside their little heads,
Refused life's cup to drain
And carly winged their upward fight
Back to their home again.
Thcn mother wipe thy tear dimmed eye,
Thy henving sigh repress,
Thy babes are cafe with God on high,
And nestle in His breast.
And there secure from earthly harm,
In their own happy home;
They stretch TO thee their gentle arms,
And beckon thee to come.
When they were here thou called them thin
Now Heavens sweet ones are they;
But thou mayst claim thine own again,
Wher thou art called away.
Perhaps when deaths bright gate is pass
They'll know from any other,
The one who gave them back to'God,
And haste to call thee mother.
