THE UNSEEN SHORE.

The mists OF death hang low upon life's sea;
The unseen shore
Beyond the darkness rises silently
For evermore;
The golden city flashes from the strand
But mortal eye sees not the distant land.
Unnumbered prows are turned toward that
far shore;
But never yet
Returning voyager with struggling oar,
Or canvass set,
Hath brought us tidings from the land afar,
Whose gorgeous light is not OF sun Or star.
But there are voices in that unseen land,
Which we have heard,
of loved ones standing with US hand in hand
With smile and word
That kindled here our hearts with Friendships
glow,
And breathed on US their music sweet and
low
And there are footsteps on the golden street,
That long ago
Made sacred rhythm, gliding soft and sw eet
Or sad and slow,
Along the paths we trod by hearth andhome,
But strangely ceased, and left us lone to roam.
And there are souls that thrill with love etern,
Who look on Him
For whom the stars in endless lustre burn;
Where seraphim
Delighted bask around the throne of light,
In ceaseless wonder at the infinite.
We Gnew them here, and with them wept
and smiled;
Our life was one;
We met and parted, still Of each beguiled;
Their work is done;
And they are resting in the morning land,
And we are toiling yet with heart and hand.
We group them oft in visions of the soul,
a joyous band;
As on the peaceful hills of light they stroll
In that fair land
Or wonder on the shore with loving gaze.
To watch the eomers from the dark sea haze.
Speed on, my bark, hfe's stormy sea across,
The mists will rise;
And every pain and tear and earthly loss
In strange surprise
Shall vanish, when the unseen shore shall
greet
Thine eye, and thou shalt touch the golden
street.

OLD KNAPsACKs.

The following beautiful extract is from
letter of "a woman in Washington, F" to the
New York Independent
Il saw pile Of knapsacks the other
evening at the cottage on Fourth street;
knapsacks and haversacks left behind for
safe keeping by the boys who went to the
front and never came back. The eloquence
of these worm eaten and moulded bags can
not be written. Here was piece of stony
bread uneaten the little paper Of coffee, the
smoked tin cup in which it had been boiled
50 often over the hasty fire on the eve of bat
tie. There was the letter, sealed, directed
and never sent; for the soldier could not al
ways get a stamp, Here letter, half writ
ten, commencing, Dear Wife:-How |
want to see you, Dear mother:-My
time is nearly out, The rusty pen, Just as
it was lain down on the half Rlled sheet by
the gallant and loving hand which hoped
so soon to finish it. Here tinted with red
white and blue were photographs of
the favorite Generals, and photographs of
the dear ones at home Here we're letters
Of heart breaking love, and loyalty to duty,
and holy faith and cheer, written at home;
and here was the Testament given him by
the woman he loved best, soiled and worn.
For the American soldier, if he rarely
reads it, still would carry his Testament as
dear talisman to save him from harm.
Here were these mementoes of the brave,
living, life gone out. They never came
back The mourners at home do not all
know where they fell, or whether they were
buried Toone unfamiliar with the soldiers
life, these relics might mean little. To me
they mean all love, all suffering, all heroism.
look on them and again seem to see the
long lines of marching men file past, dust
covered and warm, on their way to battle
| see the roads of Virginia, shimmering in
the white heat, lined with exhausted men
lying down to sleep and to die, after the last
defeat; hear the cry Of the wounded, the
moan of the dying, see the half filed grave,
the unburied dead. All the awful realities
of war comes back. So, too, do knightly
days and dauntless men. Peace walks amid
the May time flowers, and already our sol
diers seem almost forgotten Days of war
and deeds of valor seem ike dreams gone

GOOD BUSINESS MEN.

To me, one Of the most admirable things
in the world is business punctilio. think
it is rare to find very bad men among thor
ough business men. do not say that a
good business man is necessarily religious,
or even necessarily without vices, | mean
that it is simply difficult 10 be strictly honest
In business, and sensitive in all matters per
tanning to business engagements and thor
oughly punctual in the fulfllment of all
business obligations, and at the same time
to be loose in morals and dissipated in per-
sonal habits. have great respect for those
rigid laws Of the counting room which regu-
late the oealiDsss between man and man,
and which make the counting room as exact
in all matters Of time and exchange as a
banking house-which ignore friendship,
affection, and all personal considerations
whatsoever-which place neighbors and
brothers on the same platform with enemies
and aliens. and which make an autocrat of
an accountant, who is, at the same time,
strictly an obedient subject of his own laws.
say it is hard for man to enter as a
perfectly harmonious element into this grand
system OF business, and submit himself to its
rigid rules, and to maintain his position
with perfect integrity, and, at the same time
be a very bad man. To a certain extent, he
bows to and obeys high standard of life.
lie may not always recognize fully the moral
element which it cmbodies. He may take a
selfish view of the whole matter, but he can
not be entirely insensible to the principle of
personal honor which it involves, or fail to
be influenced by the personal habits which
it enforces.
Some Of the best business men | have
ever known have been the most charitable
men have ever known. Men who have
acquired wealth by rigid adherence to bust
ness integrity, who have sometimes been
deemed harsh, and hard by those with whom
they have had business relations, have
shown liberality and generosity towards
objects of charity which have placed them
among the world S benefactors Men who
have exacted the last fraction of cent with
one hand, in the way of business, have dis
bursed thousands of dollars with the other
in the way of charity. Holland.
