Mr.. Wade replied there we're 10000 inhabi-

McGREGOR, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, JUNE Is, 1864
SHADOWS.

When the children are hushed in the nursery,
And the swallow sleeps in the caves,
And the night wind Is murmuring secrets
Apart to the listening leaves;
Then open the inner chamber
That was closed from the dust Of day,
And gently undraw the curtain
Where my hottest treasures lay
Sweet spirits that may not slumber;
Cool shadows from lights now gone;
And the echoes OF voices sounding,
All sounding for me alone;
And, blending among the others,
One echo Is softer yet;
One shadow is cooler, deeper;
And my dimming eyes grow wet.
For the image gaze on longest
Is the image that blessed my youth;
The angel that lit my journey
With her lamp of love and truth.
We travelled lifes way together
little while side by side;
And, when grew faint and weary,
That light was my strength and guide.
And dearer 1t grew-how dearer!
Till watched it wane and fade;
And my angel said parted,
Be patient, be not afraid.
And when am sick and weary
With the heat and dust of the day,
How the sense of her words comes o'er me-
Her words ere she went away.
And ask for patient wisdom,
As journey the way alone;
Till tread on the golden thIe Ieshold
OF the heaven where she is gone.
When the children are hushed in the nursery,
And the swallow sleeps in the caves,
And the night wind is mulmuring secrets
Apart to the listening leaves.
