The lost Darling,

Dimpled white hands folded peacefully across
the still bosom, bright eyes closed in their last
siumber, the soft air stealing in at the half
open window, raising the silken hair from the
calm, pure brow, all lifelke, SO mockingIy life
like that you turn away and cry out bitterly
from the depths of yonr poor, anguish stricken
heart as you realize that those pale lips will
lisp your name no more, those soft eyes smile
not again upon you, and that those clingng
arms will never again be caSped around your
neck, nor the fair young head be pillowed up
on your bosom The little chair vacant, the
cradle, the crib little hat with wreaths Of
faded flowers, hanging against the wall, tiny
worn shoes just where the little one threw them
careIessly in its last play, all useless now, for
the darling, your darling, lies pale, still and
cold. The house is still now no sound of pat
tering footsteps, no innocent pratte, no singing
laughter. There is noise III the street, but to
your poor, suffering heart it seems insupporta-
bIe. The young and fair pass gay by your
window, and their light laugh rings out upon
the air, while you press your hands over your
tcardimmed eyes, and strive to forget, forget
OuIy to your hearthstone this great aiflicton
has brought sorrow-forget that while you are
weeping, the busy world will go on as usual,
and laugh, jest, and plan, buy and sell, lose
and gain as ever ; forget, aye, you strive to
forget all save the Que great crushing grief that
has trampled down upon your quiyering heart
strings
Forget ah yes, you do forget that the lit
tie waXen form before you is but the casket
that once enshrined jewel and that Jewel you
called your own was lent to you, and is now
set in the diadem OF CaIyary's meek and holy
sufferer Of the King Of kings you forget that
the tender lamb your fraiI hands could have
guarded but poorly is safe from life's wearying
tempests you forget in your blind grief that
your darling is an angel and instead Of toiliDg
and SHINING, perhaps, through many years, it
wears the robe and crown that only the blood
washed may ever wear Aye, you forget all
this as you look upon your sweet, withered
blossom, and cry out in your wild bitter anguish;
You gaze upon the dark clouds that enshroud
you, and forget the " silver lining" and the bow
of promise Say to the lone mother, Joy to
thee press last fond kiss upon the pale lips
and murmur thankfully, Blessed be the name
Of the Lord F.! " Housed from life's storms, free
from lies perls, no rugged steps, no path of
thOrns, no sin, no temptat ons safe and an
angel All, little darling, thou art not lost
only yohe first to the mansion of the blessed,
and We should not weep for thee. Thou hast
passed through deaths cold river before US and
art safe, while we are left to battle with self
and sin, to fight and conquer ere we wear a
robe and crown like thine. All, little darling,
joy to thee MARY A. kEABLEs.

L A MT LIFE.
BY ALICE CAREY

Though never shown by word or deed
Within us lies some germ OF power
As lies unguesscd, within the seed
The latent flower.
And under every common sense
That doth its daily use fulfill,
There lies another, more intense,
And beauteous still.
This dusty house, wherein is shrined
The soul is but the counterfeit
OF that which shall be, more refined.
And exquisite,
The light which to our sight belongs
Enfolds light more warm AID clear,
Music but intimates the songs
We do not hear.
The fond embrace, the tender kiss
Which love to its expression brings,
Are but the husk the chrysalis
Wears on its wings.
The vigor falling to decay,
Hopes, impulses, that fade and die,
Are but the layers peeled away
From life more high.
When death shall come and disallow
These rough and ugly masks we wear,
| think that we shall be rs now,
Only more fair.
And he who makes his love to be
Always around me, sure and calm,
Sees what is possible to me,
Not what am.

the reply of surly clerk and the lady order

To YoUNG LAnrEs.-I have found that the
men who are really the most fond of the society
Of the ladies, who cherish for them high re-
Spect, are seldom the most popular with the
sex. Men Of great assurance, whose tongues
are highly hung, who make words supply the
place of IDEAS and place compliment in the
room of sentiment, are the favor ties. A due
respect for woman leads to respectful action
toward them-and respectful is usually distant
action, and this great distance is mistaken by
them for neglect or want of interest-1d-
disOR.

B@27- Love is neither crime nor folly
UnreQu1ed love may be ineXpedient and she
may be weak who induIges it, but there was
never heart in which true love had dwelt that
was not purified and made noble 10y It's infu
ence. The sin and crime in the world, ordi-
narily ascribed to love, should be ascribed to
the absence of it.

ftly represented by this weird damSe who sat
there SO like blind ineXorable fate weaving
web of inevitable doom.
The gallant knights of those times who fear
ed neither death nor danger, were greatly prone
to superstition and HamiltoH, hUt-blooded
and impetuous as he wos, proved no exception
to the rule. He was, there fore, heartily glad
when the irn-keeper returned and broke the
ominous silence which had SO oppressed him
Here, ElSpeth, ," said Campbell, addressing
the figure in the broad Scotch of those DAYS
which VIC will not attempt to reproduce, Here's
gentleman, cold and hungry, come and see
what you can find for his supper"
Hamilton listened anxiouSly for the sound
of her voice, feeling as if it would be relief
to hear her speak, but she never opened her
lips she rose up, however at once, and be-
gan to move about in a strange mechanical
manner, her blindness becoming more apparent
as she guided herself by the touch, while the
staring CLASSY eyes seemed to him absolutely
ghastly as she passed near him She placed
some oatmeal cakes and dried fish on the ia
ble, along with jug of whiskey, aud then re
! turned to her place by the fire, where she sat
immoyahle as before.
Is that your daughter ~ said Hamilton to
the inukeeper, as he invited him to draw near
and eat
My only child and blind from her birth, "
was the reply, uttered almost with sternness
as if the subject was painful "ElSpeth's not
like other folks, and you had better take no
heed of her"
Hamilton took the lint and said no more,
while he applied himself to the rude fare set
beiare him with keen-Set appetite. Nor did
he spare the whskpy, which was wonderfully
cheering after his wet ride; and when he had
finished his repast he felt, as he SAID like
new man altogether. Filling his glass again
he invited Campbell to join him, and the two
began to converse together on the events OF
the day. keuem sat with his back TO the
blind girl and, as she never moved or spoke
lie soon forgot her presence altogether, and
had welI-nigh forgotten also the necessity OF
concealing his name and lineage from these
retaiUerS Of his foes, when he was startled in
to a sudden remembrance Of his position. AL
ludiug to some political event. he mentioned
that he had been at Holyrood the day before

as it Was summary and he felt well assured
that the present Marquis of Argyle, the young

had found out the murderer Of his retainer,

IN bis search, the services Of the maiden
