The snow had begun in the cleaning,
And husily all the night
Had been heaping Geld and highway
With silence deep and white.
Every pine, and fir and hemloCk,
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
lnch deep was fruged with pearl.
From sheds, new roofed with Carrara,
Came Chauticlears mufiled crow;
The stiff rails we're softened to swan-down,
And still futtered down the snow.

The noiseless work Of the sky,
And the sudden flurries of snow-brds,
Like brown leaves whirliDg by.
thought of sweet mound in Auburn,
Where little head-stone stood,
How the fakes were folding it gently.
As did robins the babes in the wood
Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying-"Fatber, who makes it snow 2"
And l told her of the good our-Fatber,
Who cares for us all below.
Again looked at the snowfall,
And thought of the leaden sky
That arehed Ger our FIRST great sorrow,
When that mound was beaped SO high.
remember the gradual patience
That fell from the cloud-like snow,
Flake by flake, healing and hiding
The scar OF that deep-stabblng woe.
And again to the child whispered
"The snow that husheth all,
Darling, the Merciful Father
Alone can make it fall"
Then, with eyes that saw not, kissed her,
And she kissing back, could not know,
That my kiss was given to her sister
Folded close under the deepening snow.

blowing hymn -
To-day beside PotOmac's wave,
Beneath Vlrginia's sky,
They slay the man who loved the slave,
And dared for him to die.
The Pilgrim Fathers earnest creed,
Virginias ancient faith
Inspired this hero's noblest deed,
And his reward is--death !
Great Washingtons indignant shade
Forever urged him on
He heard from Monticello's glade
The voice of Jefferson.
But chiefly on the Hebrew page
He read Jehovahs law,
And this from youth to hoary age
Obeyed with love and awe.
No selfish purpose armed his hand,
No passion aimed his blow
How Loyalty he loved his land
Impartial Time shall show.
But now the faithful martyr dies,
His brave heart beats 90 more,
His soul aseends the equal Skies
His earthly course is DER.
For this we mourn, but DOT for him,
Like him, in God we trust, .....
And though our eyes with tears are dim,
We know that God is Just.

who tell us that the Union will be speedily
dissolved-are anxious, nevertheless to be
elected to the United States Senate from

sible to buy good tobacco. Even that which

previously carried thither from the United States
