mas room And remember my fathers
arm on the pillow, and her face on his bosom
white and death-like; when Totty was put
forward first to kiss her, and followed. I
remember my fathers cry-''My darling,
my darling"-as he watched her, and her
low answer that came by snatches, telling
how happy he had always made her; how
good and kind he had been making her life
so bright always; but for this one mistake,
which was her fault, and forgotten now, she
had scarcely known trouble and now she
was happy again-so happy! A low cry
from my father, cry so full of misery that
Nurse, as it reached her, turned her eyes
from the face she was watching so lovingly,

Cousin Charles is dead. Long years ago
saw his name honorably mentioned amongst
those who fell, fighting gallantly for coun-
try or for glory. 1t is not for me to Judge
him. Perhaps there were times in his life
when memory stung him bitterly when he
would have given the world, if he had had
it to give, to recall those few months Which
bore such sorrowful fruits. Peace be to

FROST WORK AND FIRE PLAY.

The following, from the Louisville Jour-
nal, speaks for itself. What mental luxu-
ry it is to feast upon such productions these
quiet autumnal evenings when Summer
takes it's last tints from October's charms:
The frost-month October, is come again
The trees are putting their death glory on
the maple its crimson. the ash its gold-and
the wind sings its death-song dreamily and
deliciously through the hazy moons, and
weiredly and wildly through the long twi-
lights The flying colors, we may say. of
the triumphant Winter begin to be seen
through the noisy woodland avenues, and
the rockets Of the Northern Lights stream
up the sky to proclaim his coming. Frost
is his ayaunt-courier who takes possession
for him, and frost is here. We have seen
him we have felt his presence: the little
leaves have clothed themselves, in the bright
starlight and fairy moonrise," with his
gemmed livery and the orchards blush and
brighten to do him tributary honor.
Late in the hushed nights Of September
how intense is the starriness of the heavens,
and we say, ''the night is starry and cold,
my FRIEND" to the other shadow of our
sunlight Gf our expression finds it expedi-
ent to draw pension from Alfred Tenny-
sony, and we know what makes those little
children of heaven the stars twinkle so !;
they are crowding together and telling and
whispering merry stories, and shivering to-
gether, trying to keep their celestial feet
from freezing, while, according to Mr.. Bri-
ants theory, they .'climb the heavens and
go" And, maybe, they are striving to be
merry because they know the terrible Frost
ghost in his white drapery is walking the
unsued midnight; perchance they see him
already clothed in his ermine-at least they
see his breath which is no breath either,
but haunting exhalation of ghost-land.
Now and then wind gets startled from its
sleep and makes all the leaves shudder with
its fright, awaking with cold beads on their
beautiful faces. Afterward early in the still
mornings, the sun, when he
sFlattcrs the mountain tops with sovereign eye.''
finds our windows blind, and the dew with
which his little sunbeams Qike wandering
princes, condescending royal highnesses y
so delighted to dance, lying ':a-cold'' and
''icy-regular." Over the leaves, in fairy
but ghostly traceries-over the hearts of
flowers, that will not awaken for all the sun
God S miracles: this is the frost-work. This
is the betrayed presence Of Frost-the cou-
rier of Winter. Welcome, We say. The
cold hand reaches from a warm heart, it is
said: When Winter comes we know he has
a tropic heart of fire showed over with the

geleften poetry.
FROM MY WINDOW,

Der the meadows clover bloom
A snowy white veil is spread,
And purer than folds which fall
From fair brides dropping head,
Ice-spanglcd like inwoven pearls,
And fastened with wreaths of snow:
And garlands of frost hang bright
From bushes which bend so low.
On the summer flowers aud grass,
The snow rests heavily down;
And upon the evergreens
Is laid glistening crown;
, The osiers shuddering bend
In sad, leatiess sighings DER
The waves, that with glittering links
Are bound to the snowy shore.
The shivering leancss trees
Their long, pending arms upliit
To the cold and pitiless sky,
Where the snow clouds silent drift;
And winds, through the brown, sere boughs
Only sad murmurings bring,
As if they had weary grown
In waiting for blue-eycd spring.
Der the beds of spotless snow
The hills bow their darkened heads,
IS. 2 s9rrox-lIg ns,s.rner bends
In gloom Ger the shrouded dead.
All things look gloomily dark
'Gainst the snow SO pure and white,
Oh, thus do our human lives
Look dark in heavens pure light!
Do our deeds in the Book of Life
On its snowy pages lie,
Like spots on the stainless snow,
Or clouds on the spotlcss sky?
There is One who can wash them out,
Ere we reach that upper fold,
And walk with soft, angel steps
Through the streets of pearl and gold.
