The rays of the MONDAY sun streamed
brightly through the stained glass easements
of Mr.. Eyerleigh's superb Gothic library. The
room was decorated with every appurtenance
of wealth and taste. Velvet chairs, with tall
backs of daintily carved rosewood were scat
tered here and there marble vases occupied
inches beside the doorway, and the rarest pic
lures hung on the paneled and gilded walls
But the prettiest object of all-tbe one which
the rich lawyer oftenest raised bis eyes from
his writing, to contemplate with an involunta-

woman. in q white cashmere morning robe,
trimmed with white velvet, who stood opposite
arranging flowers in bouquet. She wore a
spray OF berries, carved out of pink Neapolitan
coral, at her throat, and tiny pendants of the
same rare stone in her small, shell-Iike ears,
and the slender waist was tied round with a
broad pink ribbon.

When hfst l saw our banners wave
Above the nations council hall,
I beard beneath ito marble wall
The cisnking letters OF the slsvei
In the foul msrket.p place I stood,
And saw tie christian mother sold.
And childhood with Its locks OF gold,
Blue. eyed and fair with Saxon blood.
I shut my eyes, held my breath,
And smothering down the wrath and
shame
That set my Northern blood ofams,
Stood sileu,--whe to speak was death.
Beside me gleomed the prison cell
Where wasted one in slow decline
For muttering simply words Of mine,
And loving freedom all 10 well.
The hag that hoaied from the dome
Fispped menace in the morning air;
I stood, q psriiec stranger, where
The human broker made his homo.
For crime was a virtue--Gown ond Sword
And Law their threefold sanction gave
And to the quarry OF the slave
Went hawking with our symbol.bird.
On the oppressor's side was power-
And yet knew that every wrong,
However old, however strong,
But waited Gods avsnging hour.

Somehow, sometime, the end would be
Yet scarcely dared I hope to see
The triumph with my mortal eye.
But now I see III In the sun
A free Gag floats from yonder dome.
And at the nstion's hearth and home
The justice long delayed is done.
Not as we hoped. in calm and prayer
The message Of fdelivercnce comes,
But heralded by roll OF drums
On waves Of battlefront bled air!
mid sounds that madden and appal,
The song that Beihlehem's shepherd
knew!
The harp OF David melting through
The demon agonies Of Saul.
Not as we hoped; but Whist are wet
Above our broken dreams and plans
God lays, with wiser hands than mans
The corner stone Of Liberty
cavil not with Him-the voice
That freedoms blessed gospel tells
Is sweet 10 me rs silver bells,
Reioicing--yea, will rejoice.
Dear friend still toiling in the sun
Yes dear ones, who have gone before,
And watching from the eternal shore
The slow work by your hands begun
Rejoice with me! The Christening rod
Blossoms with love--the furnace heat
Grows cool beneath His blessed feet
Whose form is ss the Son Of God
Rejoice!-Our Marah's bitter springs
Are sweetened; on our ground OF grief
Rise day by day in strong relief
The prophesies OF better things.
Rejoice in hope! The day and night
Are one with God, and one with them
Who see by faith the cloudy hem
