IMPRoVIsED By Mrs. E. W.
On the death of Samuel II. Barnum, whose Obi
uaTy Notice was published last week.

uaTy Notice was published last week.
At his CO. 1try'y call he left his home.
To se Ii his cOuntry's need;
And neV-r lid he fail, when there's ought 10 do.
No ne e., in thought or deed
Where the wintry blast, blew round his tent.
And his thoughts to his home were turned.
Said he, useless repining will never do;
By hardships is victory earned
| envy not, those who remain at home,
In selfish pleasures bound;
But on the guard, or wherever the call,
I'll always beat my round.
Tis not that love not those at home,
Nor fain would be by their side,
But better twas me, far better indeed
Than my cOuntry's hope that died.
And he went to sleep far away from home,
And stranger smmothed his brow,
But Angels found him better home,
And they will care for him now,
Then weep not for him, he is better off,
And he will hover round you still
For in spirits spheres. mOrtals are free
To visit their friends at will.
Weep not for him Father, Mother or wife,
Sisters. or Brothers dear.
He is done with the earth, and arduous strife,
And now he knows fully the value of life.
Oh could he describe-the feelings that swelled
His heaving bosom at last,
Twas not himself, he thought of then,
His pain and anguish had passed.
If he had q regret that he must die
Twas for those he left behind,
But his message to you, bad he made it known,
Would be, "0h to my loved ones be kind"
Be Father and Mother and Husband too,
Though I'll not be far away,
If true to myself, / shall be to them,
Ny Guardians tell me may.
Then weep not dear friends, think not that IN goI
Your Samuel is with you still.
Forever and ever your spirit friends,
Can visit you at will.

will call again." and before she had time
to express her gratitude or surprise, he
was gone.
The next morning William was better.
! The crisis had I,assed-the fever was gone,
but he lay weak and helpless as babe.
and but for the many comforts which that
purse procured, he might have died.
He grew stronger day by day, and at
the end of a week he was sitting sup
ported pillows in large arm chair. Mrs
Carter approached the window and ex-
| claimed-''There comes the stranger who
gave me the purse"
A minute more, and he entered the
room. Approaching William, he grasped
his hand, and said earnestly
Thank Heaven that you are alive
that you will live. If you had died |
never could have forgiven myself. L have
come to make some atonement for the in
justice of which | was guilty" And he
placed folded paper in his hand
There" he continued, when you are
able, read thatA Do not thank me. 1t
Is no more than justice. The pocket
book was of great importance to ME, and
it has cost you dear"
When the gentlemen was gone, William
opened the paper. and found it a deed
made out to himself, of his old house and
farm. There was dancing and shouting
among the children; and in the hearts of
the father and mother a deep and holy
Joy mingled with thankfulness, and trust
in God.
/ need not pursue my story further,
ner tell of the happy reinstating in their
former home, nor how, in after days. Will
liam Carter often gathered his grand
children around his knee, and told them
of his bitter trial and temptation, and
taught them that they who put their trust
in God are never forsaken.

The Laborer's Evening Song.

'Tis a CHEEKY sight, yon Pickering light,
For the evening is chill and dreary;
And that is the glow of a hearth which know
Has welcome and rest for the weary.
In little WHILE with a sunny smile,
My wife will haste to greet me;
And our baby boy, with a shout of JOY,
VIII stretch out his arms to meet me.
Others may stop at the first beer-shop.
Whilst their families beg or borrow;
But the cup Of tea that's awaiting me
Will bring neither shame nor sorrow
Around my knee, in joyous glee,
Will be happy children clinging;
And shall hear their voices clear,
A hymn at evening singing.
Ny wife and / will thankfully
Go on our way together;
And have no fear, though storms be near
Hard times, or wintry weather.
Life's wear and tear we'l bravely Lear.
Sustained in joy or sorrow;
We'll face as We may the ills of to-day,
And trust in God for the morrow.
And when, at last, life's labors are past
And our bodies in dust are lying.
Our souls shall rest in that home of the blest
Where there's no more sorrow or crying

BY WILLIAM ROSS WALLACE.

Two thousand years Two thousand years =
Ihe heree red eye of carnage still;
The music of the holy spheres
y ct smothered in the crash of i'll
And Falsehood, Hatred, as of yore
Friend Rulers on the mortal shore!
Two thousand yearsl Two thousand years!
w by plead that voice in Palestine?
Why, plying, fell those sacred tears
Upon the Temples awful shrine?
Why burst the vail? Why rent the rocks2
Why rose the dead in earJhquake-shoeks?
Two thousand years Two thousand years!
W hat battles by our earnest sires!
What murdered hopel What shuddering fears
W hat dungeOn-racksl What martyr-fres
Oh heaven! how wide and wild the sea
OF all that human agony
Two thousand yearsI Two thousand years
tortured Soul! shalt thou despair?
o Heartl thus choking with thy tears
Must thou still grOan in Evils lair =
tod of Heavens and Earth Is Time
The endless measurement of Crime?
Two thousand years Two thousand years
Down, awful questions, down, if We
Would not beneath yon holy spheres
A shrieking world of madmen bel
o. yet mid all the bleeding i'll
Let us believe and worship still
les, wait the hymn of Hope above;
Woe rises from the darkened sod;
Yes, up the golden stairs of Love
1earn to the Parent-ThrOne of God:
Dyes, mid all the bleeding ill.,
We trH believe and worship still.
