POETIOAL.
From the Ladies Repository,
THE YEAR OF FREEDOM

watch tonight with throbing heart
And soul that lowly bendeth,
With trembling joy to wait the gift
Our Heavenly Father sendeth;
With one kind hand he takes away
ourheayy night Of sorrow,
And with the other reacheth down
A glad Auroral morrow.
o, land so full of wailing hearts
( Der hopeless sorrows bending
Whose funeral bells kept lolling on
Through day and night uucnding.
God takes from off thy forehead fair,
Tie stain of guilt unspoken,
And sets the crown of freedom there,
Thy birthright's glorious token.
Wesit in empty homes, and thought
OF lips that used to greet us
But never more at morn or eve
With smile or song might meet US;
And in our anguish oft we cried,
0, friends beloved and cherished,
Would that our hands had held you back
snice all in vain ye Ferished.
But, 10 the precious seed we left.
In crimson furows sleeping,
Beneath our dropping tears, has sprung
To freedoms golden reapingl
And We can say, with hearts that hold
Our fallen heroes dearer,
We lent our treasure to the Lord
To bring his kingdom nearer.
Toll, toll along the solemn night,
Thesad old yearlsdyingl
Seal up the records OF its woe,
The burned of its sighing--
And pray the Lord above, who holds
onTspirits in his keeping.
That never moIO may dawn foruS
So many hours of weeping.
Ring out, o golden bells of mourn
Our souls give back your pOaling,
We see the rosy light of day
Ger all the hilI-tops stealing,
Glory to God the night is past
O, haste that perfect morrow,
When not slave in all the la d
Shall bow in chains and sorrow.

The Death of the pauper Child.

BY MRS. LEPRoHoN.
Hush, mourning mother, wan and pale!
No sobs-no grieying now:
No burning tears must thou let fall,
Upon that cold, still brow;
No look of anguish cast above,
Nor smite thine aching breast,
But clasp thy hands and thank thy God
Thy darling is at rest
Close down those dark fringed, snowy lids,
Over the violet eyes,
Nor heed their liquid light was clear
As that of summer skies.
Is il not bliss to know wbat'er
Thy future griefs and fears,
They will be never dimmed like thine,
BY sorrows scalding tears
Enfold the tiny fingers fair.
From which life's warmth has fed,
Forever free from wearing toll
The strife for daily bread;
Compose the softly moulded limbs,
The little waxen feet,
Spared way-side journeys, long and rough,
Spared many weary beat
Draw close around the ifeless form,
The shreds of raimcnt torn.
Her only birthright-just such rags
As thou for years hast worn;
Her earthly dover the bitter crust
She might from pity crave
Moisteped by tears-then, final gift,
A paupcrs iowiy grave.
Now raise thy spirits gaze above!
Seest thou Won angel fair.
With flowing robes and starry crown
Gemming her golden hairy
Changed. gloriied in every trait,
Still in thai beauty mild
oh. mourning mother, thou dost know
Thine own, thy late-lost child.
Wrapped in Heavens enhancing bliss,
Yelled in its golden glow,
Still thinks she of the lonely heart
Left on this earth below.
Courage.-not long thy weary steps
Der barren wastes shall roam,
Thy darling pravs the father now
To quickly call thee home
