THE ANGEL WATCHERS.

Thorn : ~, Instinct ia the human breast
Cherished by love, and born OF 'a''f'-
Which tellus that the spirits o. The oles'
Are ever watching round our path
That angel-forms unseen do wax the earth'
Radiant in light and holiness,
A,d are glorious messengers sent forth
To GUIDE and guard the heirs of bliss.
When sunset hues grow dim, md daylight fades
Along the hushcd and glowing West
And twilight dcws, ike tears, and ey'ning
shades
Arc falling on the graves, where rest
In silent dust the forms Of those We mourn
MYSTERIOUS voices through the air,
Aud sad, sweet sounds, upon the nighswinds
borne,
Theu seem 10 tell us-thsy are near.
Aud when We lift our gaze, through tears un-
Up to the stars so calm and bright,
Which seem to whisper softly, as they shine,
With angel voices through the night;
We feel their presence round US, and above
Aud fondly dream that earnest eyes,
Which here so of met ours in speechless love,
Are gazing on us from the skies.
And when upon the couch we lay our ferered
brow,
And toss amid the curtained gloom,
Thinking Of those whose dreamless heads lie
low
Amid the shadows Of the tomb
From broken sleep, and half unconscious
dream,
Ws start to see the morning light;
And try to call our visions back, aud deem
2Gsy have been with US through the night
And when upon their graves the grass is green,
And time and change have dried our tears
Although, from then till now, there lies between
The length Of unforgoten years
They often come as angels from The skies,
TO shieirus from the woe earth brings
And wnen passing sadness dims our eyes,
II is the shadow Of their wings.
And what is life, ,or death, that we should weep
When loved and cherished ones depart!
We SEQ their living forms no more +; but keep
Their lovely image IN our heart
They are not lost and gone for not IN vain
The sw Get and cheering faith is given,
That we shall see and meet the loved again
"And know and love them still-in Heaven

Gods Greetings.

God gree,s many one who never OBJ
serves, and many more who never thank
him for II. When, for instance, his sun
wakes thee early to the enjoymel, of an
other day of life and health, and when, at
even tide, thine eyes close in peaceful
s,umber. il is because God hath bidden
thee Good night : and when thou sill
list down TO weilspread board with a
good appetite, i, is Gods glfl for thy
good. Then again, thou art enabled
timely 10 discover some threatened dan.
ger. what is i. but God saying 10 thee,
Take heed my child, and turn back be-
lore it be TO late ! When. on some ear
Is summer morning. thou wskest about
amid the blossoming flowers and The sing
ing birds, and thine heart feels light and
| Joyful, is not God saying 10 thee, 'Wel-
come, heartily welcome, 10 my palace
garden -
And when. all of sudden, perhaps,
withou, thy knowing how or why. thy
heart is moved TO good thoughts, and thou
Ibeginnesl TO feel sorrow for having done
wrong. and desire To do better. is not
thy Heavenly Father saying 10 thee, o..
grieve no, my Holy Spirit. which now
slrs within thee :" Or. when thou pas
sesi by new made grave, and sudden
shudder of anxious foreboding runs cold
through thy frame is not God greeting
thee with the Falherly admonilion, Re.
member now thy Creator in the days Of
thy youth, while lhe evil days come not,
nor the years draw nigh in which thou
shalt say have no pleasure in them {; for
there is neither wisdom nor device in the
grave, whittier thou ar, fast fastening g

Sm juggling Liquor VS.. Babies.

The Commissioner of Customs, who
has recently been making every effort to
suppress The extensive Smuggling opera
tions, which, for long time. have been
going on along The Canada frontier; has
received intelligence from the revenue de-
iectiyes stationed there that they have
JUS. detected an ingenious scheme for
conveying whiskey from Canada 10 the
United States.
The attention Of the officers was first
attracted by .he extraordinary number Of
women and babies on a railroad train
bound 10 the United Stales, and their sus-
picions were aroused from the fact that
out Of thrly.lwo "tlessed babies" but
Two gave evidence of the irrepressble an
lma,ion peculiar to juveniles. The
.'molhers." likewise, seemed especially
anxious 10 screen their little inoceni's
