THE TRUE WIFE.

these words were addressed-in way

= kind OF a gasp, as thcagh just beneath
them lay a mighty swell and rush Of
feelings that well nigh overpowed hel
voice.
"Yea. Mary, it must come. God
knows l have struggled as hard as man
could DO, to weather the storm, and
could have done it, too, if those Western
houses hadn't gone under, But they'll
carry us with it.''

looking at him in half bewildsred, half
frightened way, that was piliful to see
the shock, for the moment, had half stun-

"Oh, Mary, it was hardest for your
sake p and the words came in sharp
groan which is terrible to hear from the
lips Of strong man. The tone reused
her at once into full consciousness Of
what had bsfallen them, and Of the part
she must bear in it.
"Don't John-don't take it SO hard" "
her voice struggling up through a sob
into note Of cheerfulness, and her lips
fashioning a smile, which, though weak
at first, you felt certain would gro# stron +

sweet promises Of the day, when the first
faint suubeams struggle weakly out Of

HoNORfNa PARENTS.

As d stranger went into church yard
Of pretty village, he beheld three chill
dren at newly made grave. A boy a
bout ten years Of age was busily engaged
in placing plants of turf aboutit' while a
girl who appeared a tear or two younger
held in her apron few roots OF wild
flowers. The third child, still younger,
was sitting on the grass watching with
thoughtful look the movements Of the
other two: They Wore pieces Of Grape
On their straw hats and a few other signs
Of mourning such as are sometimes worn
BY the poor who stfuggle between pow
erty ahd their Affections:
The gill began by planting some Of her
wild flowers around the head Of the grave
when the stranger thus addressed them :
"Whose grave is this, children, about
which you are so busily engaged %
"Mother's grave. sir, said the boy.
"And did your father send you to
place these flowers around your mothers
gravs?'
"No sir, father lies here too, aud little
Willie and sister Jane."
when did they did?
"Nothef was buried q fortnight yes.

What, though tn. daughter of sire,
Who gave the noblest song,
TSguce nations poetry,
That echo shall prolong,
Whose matchless werds and trumpet ,ne
Make dying soldiers strong.
What though she sing in cadeucsd verse,
That Liberty is dead,
And softly chides the gathering crowd.
BY whom the tears are shed,
Though powerless seems the snowy hand,
And narble.like the head?
She wrongs the men who fearless stood
By dark Antietam's side,
And those whose patriot. blood, outpoursd
The plains Of Shiloh dyed
And those who braved the iron hail,
On Mississippi's tide.
She wrongs the fathers, motkeis, who
Their children sent to war;
For them great Liberty still lves--
Still shueth as a star,
Which passing clouds moment hide;
Withoutthe power to mar.
What, though moment pallid now,
And lustreless her eye,
The peoples will her mig t. breath,
She cannot, dare not die;
In homes like ours, 10 glorious lot
Is immortality.
Thus living, and to live for aye,
On the mountain Or In hall,
In vain will rythhic verse essay
To spread her funeral pail,
Aud tell her children. Liberty,
Alas! is dead to all.
All no her march Ger mountain tops,
Shall be from sea to sea,
Her music AS she sweeps along,
The glorious song oil Key
The patriot Stateman's stirring song,
Tha AntLom Of tho Frou.
