boquet Of flowers, among which was an
unopened rosebud of the i" Rose of Sha-
ron." The lid was then placed upon
the coffin, and the funeral services per-
formed When after the lapse of not
more than three hours, the coffin was
opened again, and the friends gathered
around to look upon it for the last time.

Amy, at last, growing weary over the
toy houses which they had been building.
John was ready for paper dolls. or any

For the Guardian.
A Southern Scene.

was seated on the messy bank
OF fair, ripping stream,
Whose dancing waves reflected back
The moons bright golden beam
O'ershadowed by the swaying boughs
OF beauteous southern trees,
Whose leaves were waving to and fro
Beneath the evening breeze
The zephyrs perfumed by the flowers
That bloom in sunny climes
Were w ispering to me sweet music
OF other, happier times.
sat musing in dreamy silence
On days that had long since fled.
When rustling sound aroused me.
And heard stealthy tread.
Soft and slow the step approached,
And eagerly list to hear,
A low, smothered sob Of sorrow
Struck painfully on my ear;
gazed round in wild amazement
And with feelings of alarm,
When. stealing softly through the wood,
saw a female form.
With silent tread she onward went,
As Of one walking in dream
Unheeding. she passed me by.
And paused only at the stream;
Her brow was dark as ebony,
And by that sable face
Was told the story of her wrongs
She was one Of Afric's race.
She cast around look Of woe,
That spoke soul distressed,
While closer to her throbbing heart
An infant form she pressed
She knelt by that clear rivulet,
And turned her eyes to heaven
While in the language of despair,
She prayed that strength be given
She prayed" 90, Thou that rules on high
Thou everlasting God
Wilt thou not hear thy children cry
Wilt thou not avenge their blood :?
uOu hUONtcl WOulu TuJlleT p1uUnc
My child beneath the wave,
Than see him toll beneath the lash 90
A poor, heartbroken slave"
She arose, and with prayer for aid
To the waters cast her son
The silvery stream leaped up in waves,
Then calm and smooth rolled on;
With wild and bitter cry Of grief
From the spot she turned away
"Once ye tyrants We cruel iends
I've robbed you of your prey"
/ slowly wandered toward my home,
Der my mind emotions rolled,
And q yearning prayer to heaven arose
Fer this our sin-cursed world.
How long. o Lord till the time shall com'
When this stain shall be washed away,
The foulest blot on my native land
The sin of human slavery
