THE SISTERS.
BY SALLY ADA REEDY.

Those were not mortals standing there s.s.
With eyes bent on sleeping child ......s
Who, all unmiudfn of their care,
Saw dreams at which his red lips smiled.
Aud one was hlue eyed, with face -.
Round which the brown hair closely curled.
Witsrsuch o soft. bewitching grace,
It might have msddened half the world.
The others meek eyes raised above, S...
Seemed reading trouble for TO morrow;
The brown haired, blue-eyed one was Love,
The other was her sister, Sorrow.
And Loves bright wings q .shsd here and there
You looked to see her float away,
But sorrows dropped with silent care,
As though prepared for longer stay. -
"Now, sister, give me this fair boy"
Tie blue eyed angel gently said,
IA bvsorn soft and warm with joy, ..-..T.
Should only pillow such head. -
You've followed Inc where e'-r | roam,
You've cluug to Inc through many years,
Aud when touch heart, you come
Aud blot the record with your tears"
The meek.eyed angel f,ated near,
Aud took the soft hand Of her sister,
Aud OH her cheek there was tear,
That ,rembed ~ she gently kissed her.
.Oh, Love thou dust remember well,
When Eve and Adam were too wise,
And weeping forth 4 sad farewell, .s
We went With them from Paradise. ~
.sThey wondered ut the storm above,
And what tn. Il ,wers would 10 without them,-
think they would have died, sweet Love,
But that y,ur arrus weretwiued about them.
lnved the stars and soft blue skies,
Aud winds that sung to US IL even,
Aud made our lovely Paradise
Almost AZ beautiful ns heaven.
"And so wept and prayed that they
Night 90, from my dark presence free, -
While |. the meek eyed Que, would stray
Aud weary heaven with prayers for thee.
The guarding angel shook his head,
Aud sadly puuted up above r-.
And said Alas it is decreed
You part not with your sister, Love.
s..She was the fairest from her birth,
But, pale faced S.,rroW thou art wise;
White Love would make their heaven on earth,
Tuou't MUD them of lost Paradise
I could nut leave thee then, anu n0W- --
But Luye's bright arms were round her thrown,
Aud that Que kiss ON SJrruw's brow,
Had left brightness like her own.
Dear sister, this fair boy shall be
A pilgrim ut my radiant shrine, ... 90.
But every time he ben ls his knee.
Half of the offering shall be thine"
The buy awUke almost in tears,
s. strange aud sad the vision seemed; --
prrchanue he knew in after years
He had mt only slept and dreamed. @

Population OF the Globe. e
Two able papers have been prepared on thu
subject within the past year. oae is by the eels
brated NJ. dHalIoy, in the Proceedings OF tn
Belgian Academy. He makes rhe total Popula
ton of the globe to be !, 900 100000. The 9th
er paper is by VI. Dieterici, Of the University o
Berlin. The results do not agree entirely will
those Of d'Halloy. Dieterici's total is l,2ee'
O0O, ,O0O-a trifs more than the other. Accord
ing to the Berlin professor, the greatest densl
ty of the populationse Of kingdom is exhibited II
Belgium, where it 1883 to the square mile
Single districts, however. in Rhenish Prussi'
have as high as 700 to the square mile. Eas
India and China are decreasing in population
rhe rest Of the world is increasing. NJ. Dieteric
estimates about one fourth on the globe to o'
Christians that is to say 335 600, 900. OF these
over hall are Roman Catholics the others ar
Protestauts and Greek Catholics-rather NOR
nf the former than The latter.
Edgar Poe's Mother. ..
We find the following item going the round
of the newspapers:
The mother in-law of Elgar Allan Poe. to-
puet, Mrs Maria Clrmm. is in Alexandria. Va.
nver 20 years OF age, and in the most distressing
poverty"
We have clipped it for purpose; not to adj
to the publicity, ae such, but take the occasion
10 say something more. As a personal friend
Mrs. GLENN, we have no objection to her power
