Waiting for Angels to Come
By s. G. ELDER.


From her cheeks once SO rosy the crimson had
fed, -A'
Her blue eyes no longer were bright. -,.s
And we spoke in low whispers, as though she
were dead, @ u. , = . -
As we leaned DER her pillow at night:
Her pale lips were parted to bid us goodbye,
+. w lille the moonlight stole into the room. ,-
And she said, as she gazed on the beautiful skv.
m waiting for angels to come.'
Waiting for angels to come
Down from their beautiful home ~
All the night long we heard her sweet song
I'm waiting for angels to come"
When the night fed away, and its shadows were
past,
And the morning shone brightly and clear;
We heard their light wings futter round her at
last, -. -.
And knew that bright spirits were near;
A sweet smile was wreathed on her glory-lit
As she felt she was close to her home
And she whispered "Dear friends I must part
~ from you now
The angels L longed for have come"
Oh, let US so live thro' this pathway of woe
Mid its varying seasons of pain,
That, the end drawing nigh, we may cheerfllly
With the souls of the loved ones to reign;
In It's whirlpool of tears, when the poor heart is
e1!l faint,
Wherever our footsteps may roam,
Let us bear every sorrow, and make no complain
But 'tWait for the angels to comer
Waiting for angels to come
!, ,-I a Down from their beautiful home;n
Let this be our song as we journey along.
Were waiting for angels to come"

TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN -.
Hark L hear the tramp of thousands \
And of armed men the hum:
Lol nations hosts have gathered
Round the quick alarming drum si
Saying, "Come,
Freemen, come
Ere your heritage be wasted,'i said the ouicl,
alarming drum.
LET me of my heart take counsel;
War is not of life the sum!
Who shall stay and reap the harvest.
When the autumn days shall Gomez
But the drum
Echoed "come
Death shall reap the bravest harvest" said the
solemn sounding drum.
'But when won the coming battle.
What of profit springs tberefrom?
What if conquest-subiu CATION
Even greater ills becornc?'
But the drum
Answered "Comel

the answering drum. 4 ), ~ ~ -
"What if, mid the cannon's thunder.
Whistling shell and bursting bomb
When my brothers fall around me,
Should my heart grow cold and numb ?'
But the drum
Answered Come!
Better than in death united than in life a recre-
ant-'Come.'"
Thus they answered-hoping-fa
Some in faith, in doubling some,
Till trumpet voice proclaiming
Said, My chosen people come!''
Then the drum,

CELIBAcY OF WASHINGTON IRvING.-In-
stead of being defect" the celibacy of r.
wing was his crown Of glory. Those who have
studied bis writings must have been struck with
the remarkable transition from humor to pa
thos from the broadest fun to the most medita-
tive sentiment, which occurs between the face
tious history of New Y ork and the Sketch Book,
Many, perhaps, imagine that this is accounted
for by his loss of fortune. It had its origin in
one of those disappointments Of the heart
which color all the subsequent life of true
man. We trust that now there is no want of
decaoy in alluding to the fact that the subject
Of lrving's love died during their betrothal
We have heard the last interview described by
member of her family; and to the sacred sor-
row thus engendered is to be ascribed much
that is touching and true in the sentiment of
Irying's writings to his fealty to his affection,
in no small degree, is owing the sensibility
which kept his heart fresh to the last, and a.
bove all, that respect for and sympathy with
the innate and holy sentiments of humanity,
which he so uniformly cherished and manifest
ed in his letters and in life
Nor is this all. Time may have healed the
wound and reconciled the bereft to another re-
lation but there interviewed period Of disaster
which drove the eldest brother to bankruptcy.
For his sake and that of his family of daugh-
ters, Washington Irving continued single, took
them home, and became father to the chill
dren. Beautiful was the mutual devotion hap
py their congenial household, and Sunnyside is
now bequeathed to them.
