Still she keeps rocking him,
Ever caressing him,
Brushing the hair from
His colorleSs brow.
Softly they've Whispered her,
Life has gone out of him.
Gently she answers,
"How still he is nowW
Still she keeps rocking him,
Asthough she would shake from him
The cold hand of death,
Like the weights from his eyes;
Rocking the clay of him,
While softly the soul of him

for she was the dreamiest of all Missionaries her-

the kitchen closet. She had seen ghost, she
declared, in Master Leonard's room-a real

the impression that she had injured herself Sc

surprised to find a very tolerable figure of a

Going down sometime afterward, heard her
friend, the sculptor's voice. He was saying
every extraordinary, certainly, for a child of
nine years old. Mrs. Eustace, you must let him
come again to me; will make sculptor of

1t was thus that my darling wish was accom-
plished. Out of school hours the whole of my
time was spent by Mr.. Radcliffe. My mother
knew him for pure, good man, devoted to his
art yet not allowing it to absorb his mind from
high religious Tenderness. Indeed, his constant
wonder was, how sculptor could be undevout,
when his work was but the copy of Gods best
and greatest creation. I shall pass over, hasti-
ly, the years thus spent, imbibing his principles
and learning trust, true and hearty reverence
for all things pure and holy. His workshop was

Mr. Radcliffe was but forty years old, and l
was not yet twenty, when he proposed that we
should go to Italy together. My mother was, OF
course, to be consulted. To my great JOY she
consented and proposed to accompany us, and
keep house for at Florence, whittier she had
once travelled with my father. 1t was great
happiness not to be separated from her. we
had never lived apart single day, and my only
hesitation about going the thought of leav-
ing her.
To Italy, therefore, we went, three happy,
Joyous travellers. Wehired pretty cottage en-
powered with vines and took a studio in the
heart of the city, yet within walking distance OF
the house. Mr.. Radcliffe often preferred work
ing at home; and little building which had
been used a summer pavilion was occupied
by him for that purpose. Sometimes he went to
the other and then enjoyed the pleasant recre-
alton of days near my mother, and a full COM
munion with nature in that delightful climate,
until he signified desire to return to it.
My days were pleasant then, too pleasant to
last Mr. Radcliffe was suddenly seized with
epidemic fever, and died in few days. de-
plored his loss as should that of father. l
felt nov more than ever how deeply had been
indebted to this dear friend. My bereavement
affected me sadly. could not bear to go to the
two places where, if not wholly together, wehad
mutual interest. 1t was sad enough at the lit
tie pavilion, to miss his ready smile and his in
valuable counsel but when went into the city
studio it was even more intolerably gloomy and
cheerless, 1 gave up going there altogether,
and removed everything from town to the pavil
lion, hoping that our former patrons would seek
me there.
Mother had lost much property since came
to Florence, and felt that there necessity
for exerton 1t was what my friend would have
counselled Yet as stood before the beautiful
creations which his hand had wrought, L felt
disheartened and sore to my inmost being. l
dropped my work, and wandered out into the
deep woods that lay back of our retreat. In my
sorrowful mood, and threw myself down upon
the ground, beneath clump of trees. am not
ashamed to confess that shed tears. 1t may ex-

HEART BEAUTY.
BY LIMA.


If the hearts be bright and beautiful,
What matter for the face?
What matter, if the form should lack
Both dignity and grace,
If the mind is rich with gentle thought,
The soul with noble will
No matter though the cheek be pale,
Or the heavy eye be STILL
Though the rose may deepen on the cheek,
Time soon may fade its bloom,
And the diamond sparkling in the eye
Be darlxened in the tomb;
But the glory of the mind outl1ves
Those charms that soon depart;
For who can tell the wondrous power.
OF a true and noble heart?
The lip that breathes in eloquence.
Has q beauty of its own
And gentle words are dearer far
That the softest music's tone.
Chide not, though the heart is rough and rude
If it makes the burden free,
If it tighten the grief of one sorrowing son,
How dear is such heart to me.
