Instead of bullets by thought aud argu-

The po.elful Influence of Christianity, also,

to regard offensive war as not only a calam-

The Bachelors Dream.
BY J. c. HOWARD.

Twas tho hour when furies Wander,
And the world forgets its care.
When loved 10 ait and ponder
In my easy study-chair.
Still the Gre was burning brightly,
Casting shadows on the wall
And the phantom moonbeams lightly
Through the curtains oftwould fall.
Round my brow the smoke was wreathin.
Weircd-like forms dispelled the air;
At my feet old Carlos breathing
Told of heavy slumber there
Soon my senses we're bewildered,
Shadows dim waved to and fro;
And the moombeams soft and silvered,
Played unhecded DER my brow.
Then methought the air grew lighter,
And before my wond'ring eyes
Passed a vision purar, brighter
Than dream Of Paradise.
And curtain, oil cOncealng
Future life in endless gloom,
Opened to my gaze, revealing
Untold happiness TO come.
Years went by with true bliss laden,
Cheering my once lonely life
For a lovely bright-eyed maiden
Had become my darling wife.
There l rested iu my study,
In the self.same easy chair;
But my thoughts were no more moody,
For an angel form was there.
One fair arm was clinging round me.
And a hand was clasped in mine,
B canning eyes gazed ever fOundly,
Telling love that is divine.
Clustering ringlets press'd my bosom,
All was love and heavenly bliss,
Tempting lps-who could refuse them
Raised to- meet my answering kiss,
Oh that had ne'er ceased dreaming,
Twas so bright, so pure a scene,
A Il so far a radiant seeming,
Better that it had not been.
Soon the vision Fitted DER me,
That ialr from was lost TO view
But another stood before me,
Faithful CARLO, ever true
Der my shoulder, half caressing,
One huge paw was gently raissd,
And my hand another pressing,
While into my eyes he gnzed,
When he saw,my sluubers broken.
With low whine of delight,
Did he kiss my lips as token, -
That twas time to soy goodnight.

SUNSET.
sT NArrfE DARLING.


Down they aoated, purple, golden,
Violet hued as angels eyes
Bare and rich as, fables olden
Paint the face OF paradise,
Melting in food Of glory
Making joy as on they roll
Happy as the arst love story
Breathed into a maidens soul.
Q, then Day when first thine eyes oped
Thro' the mornings glimmeriugs shine,
Was there any loving hear hoped
Thou shouldst close them so divine
Take her, o thou Night most blest.
Warm und blushiUg to thy breast /!
Happy bride by thee caressed ! @
Hold and sooth her then to rest
All no wonder that thy love lamp
Shincth out so pure and bright
And thy little stary bri desmaids,
Dance about thy couch, o night.
Wonder the more to see thee,
With this jewel in thy soul,
With all beauties sprend arouui thee.
And one moon to light the whole.
Flooding, floating come the sunbeams,
Gliding tree, aud roof and tower
I'LL they they rest upon a maiden.
Fading with the sunset hour.
"Yet little nearer bring me
Let me look once more,' she said
Thus shall pass through the shadows.
With Gods glory on my head
Fading purple, fading amber.
Fading glory crested cloud
Fadng maiden 10 the chamber,
Fading, waiting for the shroud.
Gently yield thee up, sweet sunset /
Busy world, o hush thy breath
All has sunk away 10 darkness,
And the maiden into death.
Fresh aod beautiful, she gave her
Body to the dust that gave.
May the flowers spring up above her,
And the sunshine kiss her grave.
But her spirit--Ah tame language
Hath not power TO tell how fair,
For of all the happy angels,
She is the most perfect there
As the sunset folded sweetIy
In the loving arms Of night.
So my maidens soul completely
Shuts itself from grosscr sight.
But its glory has not vanished
Ratifys it more aud more.
Till it springs a radient angel.
