THE LIFE WRECK.

Threading the alley-ways. dark and damp,
BY the tiickering light of the feeble lamp,
Breaking the night with her ghostly tramp,
She totters along alone, alone.
From hovel TO hovel, from street to street,
She picks her passage through rain and sleet,
With not friend in the world to greet,
Not bonnet to wear, nor a morsel to eat,
Nor speck of earth to call her own.
Wearing her life out day by day,
Throwing her priceless soul away,
Stunning for very shame the ray
OF the sun of heaven-the glorious sun
Weary of life and afraid to die,
Afraid of the earth and afraid of the sky,
Afraid of the light, she knows not why.
She woos the night as she heaves sigh!
And thinks of race that is almost run.
Phantom of life and beauty fed,
Shadow uniting the quick and dead
knew her before her soul was wed
To the demon of hatred and despair;
knew her happy, thoughtless child,
A picture of innocence undetled,
When she prattled and laughed, and leaped
and smiled,
When her heart was pure and her spirits wild
And all her troubles light as air.
l knew her again in womanhood,
Whose beauty and wit none withstood,
Grand and lovely. yet gentle and good,
Admired and loved by the wise and great.
Perfect in all that grandeur lends
To native beauty; in all that sends
A thrill whenever the proud knee bends
The crowning gem of cluster of friends,
A queen IN soul and queen in statt.
know her now-yet l know her not!
Where all but praise from the senseless sot,
Where all that is pure is spurned, forgot,
nothing know but holy dread;
STEPPED in misery and disgrace,
The eye of man no more can trace
In the shattered form and shrivelled face
A single mark of their ancient grace
The frame is there but the woman is dead.
Shades of immaculate woman! when
Shall the curse of God come down on men
For woman's wrongss for not till then
Shall he atone for thy nameless woes,
When thy oppressor, unhoused. unfed.
Shall stalk the earth in terror and dread,
With a wreath of scorpions round his head,
To sting the wretch wherever he tread,
Till in uttermost hell he makes his bed,
He may pay part of the debt he owes.

Ministering Angels.

The beautiful have gone with their
bloom from the saze of human eyes,
Soft eyes that made spring time in our
hearts are seen nomore We have loved
the light of many smile that has faded
from US now and in our hearts have
fingered sweet voices that are now hush
ed in the silence of death. Some are
left vacant in our early homes which
none can fill Kindred and friends,
loved ones, have passed away, one by
one our hearts are left desolate; VIC
are lonely without them. They have
passed with love to ''that land from
whose bourne no traveller returns. -
Shall we never see them again! Memo
ry turns with lingering regret to recall
those smiles and the lo.ed tones of those
dear familiar voices. In fancy they are
often by our side, but their home is on
a brighter shore. They visit US in our
dreams, floating over our memory like
shadows over moonlit waters When
the heart is weary with anguish, and
the soul is bowed down with grief, do
they not come and whisper thoughts of
comfort and hope? Yes, sweet memory
brings them to US, and the love we bore
them lifts the heart from earthly aspi-
rations, and we long to join them in the
better land. They hover round us, the
ethereal, dear departed ones-the loving
and the loved; they watch with eyes
that slumber not. When gentle dreams
are wandering to the angel land in whis-
pers that wake the hymning strains of
that bright and happy choir, revealing
many tale of hope, and bliss, and ten
derness, and love. They tell US of sun
ny realms, never viewed by mortal eye
of forms arrayed in fadeeas beauty
and anthems to their great Creators
praise are sounded forth in sweet, SER
aphic numbers And this bri eht vision
of the blest dissolves the tumultof life's
jarriog scenes; they fade in air, and
then we glory in the thought that We
regard with deep reverence and love,
those bright, celestial beings of another
sphere. All, it is because they take an
interest in our welfare, and Joy over
our success in the great battle of life.
They are not selfish in their happiness,
but fain would have us share it with
them.

ON THE TRAIL.

I am a police superintendent in a
large iron making town, and for up
wards of twenty years have had the
charge of a populous colliery district.
The peculiar avocations of the people
supply ample disguise for criminals in
hiding. Who would look for a runaway
clerk in the black face and coal stained
garments of collier, or in the guise of
a laborer in the iron shed? 1t may be
assumed, therefore, that many strange
incident has come under my notice in
the course of so long service, and some
of these l may occasionally present to
the public. One in particular | remem-

ton of Muller, that crimes of conspic-

disturbance between several culliers and

appears. ruaddened with drink, had as

dwelling. and would speedily have kill

arrival of the police. The night after
ward, | received a note from the rail-
way authorities that coal train had
been thrown off the line by some mis-
creant or other, who had placed sleepers
along the rails Knowing that colliers

Gus husband, turned pale as death, and
resigned himself to his fate.
Just at this juncture the throng out
side presented itself at the door and be-
held Mrs r. covering in one corner,
exercising her lungs magnifcently, with
a sheet WIZ pped over her form and head
and the Indianian in the middle of the
room, envelope1 in a coverlit, and ejac-
ulating' My God Madam, on't"'
The Junior partner, DIR Cahlll, saw
there must be some mistake, and re-
questins the others to retire, called the
merchant ont, and went with him to
another room, and there learned the
whole story. The Doctor then sent one
of the ladies of the hotel to Mrs R.
and the entire affair was explained,
greatly to her relief, though she was
overwhelmed with confusion at cir
cumstance that might have ruined her
reputation forever.
Under the escort of the Doctor she
was conveyed to the Spencer, where the
husband was found pacing the corridors
with frantic mien, and half crazed with
grief at the mysterious disappearance of
his wife whom he believed had been
spirited away by villain, or murdered
for her jewels, in this "infernal city,"
where, as he expressed it, "they would
kill man for dollar any time"
As soon as he beheld his spouse he
caught her to his bosom and wept like
a child. He was melted with happiness
at her discovery and recovery, and said
he had secured the city for intelligence
of her whereabouts in vain. He had
nearly given up all hopes of meeting
her again in this world. The bride
told the bridegroom a story as near the
truth as she could, and with thousand
thanks to the Doctor, they bade him
good night and retired.
