tTae nighf after heburioi, Oct u, 1887
Father, mother have departed
And you linger broken hearted.
In your dreary, empty house;
Tho they've ended life's brief story,
They have reached their home of glory,
Over death victorious!
Weep no more-and sigh more lightly
You are travelling daily, nightly,
To the rest that they have found.
You are floating DER life's river,
Soon you'll meet and love forever
Those dear ones on holy ground!
Whilst with bitter tears you're mourning
For dear parents-ne'er returning.
Time is fastening you along;
When you pass the graves dark dwelling
You will hear Heavens music swelling
With eternal life and song.
When we hear the breezes signing,
See the clouds above us flying.
1t is thus We hasten on.
Ever changing our position,
Ever tossed in strange transition.
Here to .day-to-morrow gonei
Every hour that passes DER you
Speaks of Gods protection DER you.
Tells you of times rapid rate;
Like to-day's sad funeral bell,
The clock of time its chimes will tell
AT eternity's broad gate.
On you haste-to Heaven invited,
With dear parents be united
In more loving bonds than here's
Yes, to meet and love forever!
Star Of Hope, .Jorsake them nerer.
For thy giimmering light is dear.
See the way is shining clearer,
As you journey ever nearer;
Let it cheer you this sad even.
Parents there await your landing
Brothers round the throne are standing;
Yes. tonight they're all in Heaven

nTAn old gentleman who was Boosting
how folks used to do in his young days, one
day challenged his two sons to pitch on a
load of hay as fast as he could load it. The
challenge was accepted, the hay wagon driy-
IN round, and the trial commenced. For some
lime the old man held his own very creditably,
calling out: "More hay! More hay!' AT length
struggling to keep on top of the i'll arranged
heap, 1t began first to roll, then to slide, and
at last off it went from the wagon and the old
man with it. 'What are you doing down
here ?" cried the boys. II came down after
more hay" answered the old man, stoutly.
