wonder what grandma is thinking about,
As she sits In the corner there,
With the freight shining into her eyes
And over her silver hair?
She has laid her knitting across her knee,
And folded her hands so thin,
And know her thoughts are far away,
In spite Of the children's din.
I'm sure II is something strange and sweet
That brightens her eyes SO dim;
Perhaps she Is seeing the golden gate,
And hearing the angels hymni
And she smiles to think that she soon will eros
Where the wonderful river rolls,
And gather the rose of her youth again,
In the beautiful garden Of souls

BEAUTIFUL LINES.

Z.
The following lines were written by Tyrone
Power, the famos Irish comedian, who persisted
on the steamer President. They were inscribed
on the wall of the "0ld Blandford Church. %
near Petersburg, Va. in which city, Power had
an engagement.
Thou art crumbling to the dust, old pile
Thou art Fastening to fall;
And round thee, in thy Loneliness,
Clings the ivy to the wall
- The worshippers are scattered now,
Who knelt before thy shrine;
And silence reigns where anthems rose,
~ In days Of /" Aud Lang Syne."
And sadly sighs the wandering wind,
Where oft in years gone by,
PEayef rose from many hearts to Him,
The Highest Of the High.
The tramp Of many bnsy foot
That sought thy aisles is DER,
And many weary heart around,
Is still forevermore.
How doth ambitions hope take wingsl
How droops the spirit now2
We hear the distant city's din
The dead are mute below;
Si+ The sun that shone upon their paths
Now gilds their lonely graves,
The zephyrs which once famed their brow
The grass above them waves.
Oh could we call the many back;
Who've gathered here in vain
Who've careless roved, where we do now,
$3.50 Who II never meet againl
How would onr very hearts be stirred,
TO meet the earliest gaze,
OF the lovely and the beautiful
The lights of other days
