The Poverty OF Statesmen.

Statesmen who are worthy tho appella,

fortunes. They devote themselves to pur-
suits which, if honestly adhered to, rarely
yield rich rewards.

from his door,

A LITTLE GEM.

There is form Of girlish mould,
Under tho spread Of the branches old,
At the woll-known beachcn tree,
With the sunset lighting her trcsses of gold,
And the breezes waving them, sold upon fold,
Waiting for me.
There is the sweet voice, with cadence deep,
OF one that singetb our baby asleep,
And often turns to sce
How the stars through the lattice begin to peep
And watches the lazy dial creep,
Waiting for me.
Long since those locks are laid in the clay,
Long since that voice has passed away,
On earth no more to be
But still in tho spirit world afar,
She is still the dearest of those that arc
Waiting for me.
