The Mother and Daughter.

Inc mother and Daughter.
1t was bright and beautiful spring day that
was hastily summoned to the bedside of
very dear relative, and while 1 fingered by her
side smile of unearthly brightness came over
her sweet face and she then closed her eyes
forever on all earthly scenes. The daughter
who waslying very i'll at the time was so agon-
lied at the sudden loss of her dear mother,
that she, too, sank very rapidly, and as the
grave closed over the mother, she went to the
spirit land also. They were both devoted chris
tians, and leave large circle of relatives and
friends to mourn their loss, which to them is
infinite gain. As looked out upon the beau
tiful water they had for so many hours watch
ed with delight, could trace their freed spirits
over the y.icer, and could see them in their
shining robes on the shores of the River of
Life.
Daughter-the river looks dark to-day,
Mists and shadows are falling Ger
its Drlght blue bosom, and not ray
Or the fair sunlight rests on the shore.
Many-oh many the happy hours
We've sat and watched this river blue. -.
When earth was covered with summer flowers,
In spring time, autumn, and winter, too.
Something appears on the river dark
strain'my anxious eyes and see,
In the iar-off distance, a tiny bark;
Dear daughter-'tis coming for thee and me.
II nears-I sec the Boatman pale
Close by the dark and misty shore,
l see him furl his ebon sail,
He lands his boat and drops the oar
Daushter-how can leave thee here?
Too frail art thou to live on earth aa.
There is no smile without tear,
No home without vacant hearth.
Sweet faith and trust is given me now;
All worldly love can resign, ....
And at the Heavenly mandate bow
Doar Sa,iour-thou art wholly mine!
DAUGHTER. !
Farewell, dear mother, the flowing tide
Will bear thee safe DER the rverdark
To the loved and lost on the other side;
They wait ON shore for his ebon bark.
Sweet mother, would not call thee back,
Tho blessed Saviour will 20 with thee,
And leave on the waters a shining track, 81. 81,
That will light me over the river TO thee
A shadow comes over my weeping eyes,
And strangely feels my throbting brow;
hear sweet music from the skies,
l see the angels coming now!
My mother is CO lling-her voice hear
Saying-'Fear not the swelling tide. | =
Come, cross the river without fear,
With the dear Saviour at thy side."
"
They laid the mother in the grave.
On that very eve at the set Of sun
The daughter crossed the rivers wave,
The mother and daughter the goal had won.
