little heart has ceased to beat
That once was filled with love,
But strikes its measured notes again
In that bright land above.
A mind ature beyond its years
Has faded out in time,
But lives again beyond the stars,
In Heavens blissful cline.
Those black eyes that cleaned with joy
Will CLEAN earth no more,
But open again in brighter scenes
Beyond this earthly shore.
That silvery voice that sung SO clear
Is now forever gone,
But wakes again in clearer strains
Around Jehoyah's throne.
The little one fond and good
Has fad ed from view
Transplanted from the earth by death,
To better bloom anew.
We miss thee much; void is left
Within our anguished heart,
To heal no more until that day
We meet no more to part.

MISS SusAyNAE EVANS, THE ORATOR OF

hear Miss Evans, the youthful orator, sixteen
years OF age, who speaks In the Unitarian
church, Rev. Dr. Channing's, on Wednesday
evening Of this week. Rev. T. L. Ouyler, Of
New I orE, uses the following language in re-
"We had a late visit from Miss Evans, the
young welsh d1scourser OF temperance, to the
pulpit of our Lafayette avenue church. She
is modest maiden Of fifteen, with q clear,
sweet voice, a pleasant face, and q warm,
Christian heart She talks right on with the
utmost simplicity and directness, eschews all

the chhrch, he stated that he was led to Christ
by some touching stories which his little
daughter had brought home to him from the
Sabbath school.

it)l to hear Miss Dickinson, and SO hid be.
hind the fllustTious precedent Her speech
was seasoned with the salt OF true religion,
and it would have aided rather than Murdered
the deepest revival feeling. She seems to havs
been raised up of Providence to do work for
that neglected class who are now marching
hellward almost interchangeable tipplers
Her history is singular.
miss Susannah Evans is native Of Absr-
dare, In Wales; her father was a dram seller,
and drunkard. A SQnday-school recitation
pronounced by her at an anniversary was the
means Of reforming her father. Discovering
that she possessed gift for persuasive speak.
ing she began, at twelve years, to address her
Welsh country folk on temperance. In Lon.
don and Manchester she was soon welcomed
bv crowds of auditors, and last year she de-
termined on mission to America. Large au.
dlences have gathered to hear her at New
Haven and elsewhere ; she is overwhelmed
with invitations to lecture: her head does not
seem TO nave grown dizzy ith success; and,
for one, believe she has been sent over to us
TO aid In forwarding that temperance revival
so sorely needed. and whose symptoms are
growing apparent on every side.
