THE CHILD AND SUNBEAM.

~ - - AS~@~lA
q sgEs BY J. W. R.
Brightly through the crevice,
Shot little ray,
Athwart the dHsky chamber
Where '.Rivers" was at play.
Brightly as the sunbeam,
Shone his halle eyes,
While gazing on the vision I
Issuing from the skies.
A thousand little atoms
We're dancing in the light,
And while he stood bewildered,
4, Wondering at the sight.
Then stealthily advancing,
.s-F His hands above his head, ~
He sought, with rosy fingers. Sc.
To clasp the golden thread.
While vainly thus attempting
To seize the shining ray,
b The sun passed by, recalling g.
l.5i His truant beam away.
His little heart was saddened;
A tear was in his eye,
And turning to his mother,
He sweetly asked her why ~
The sunbeam had departed,
And whittier had it flown, ~
"Oh mother, tell me, mother,
Say, will it not return p
30. yes, my boy, the morrow
viii bring you back the ray"
And his features quickly frightened,
With thought of coming day.
Thus ever from our childhood.
In every stage of sorrow,
Our solace is that mystic word,
The eUtr coming "n,0rrotrs.p

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

BY j. D. f.
An adage old in youth heard,
My city neighbors telling,
And well does every wisdom word
Tn memory claim dwelling:
NV bow. said they, what though the prize
Eludes your first endeavor,
Keep trying on--the best advice
Is better late than never.
And so while battling still through life
Will, trnth on hope relying,
If baffled in the busy strife
struggled on-kept trying:
Success would crown some happy chance
Some movement hold and clever,
In fortunes may changefnl dance
IT'S better late than never.
Bnt sometimes we the adage hold,
False as when we discover
A maiden prematurely old,
And signing for q lover.
A foolish flirt in early years,
With true hearts toying ever,
The balm that soothed intrusive fears
Was, better late than never.
At length awakes this silly lass,
Some chilling winter morning,
And reads, while looking in her glass,
A true hut fearful warning.
Amazed che sees that early charms
Are gone, alas forever,
And wildly painting with alarms,
Signs: it is now or never.
One hope, it may be. still consoles,
One string remains unbroken,
One halfspent billow shoreward rolls,
And bears lovers token:
A simpler swain her failing art
Secnres-her last endeavor; 55s
Yet still the language of her heart
is, better late than never.
NY lady readers, if my rhymes -
Have sorely you offended,
Forgive the rhymster; oftentimes
Such hits are not intended
The wisdom of "a poets pate
Some chain of truth may sever,
Then pardon me, if not too late,
Yet, better late than never.

THE BURIAL AND RESURREC
ITON OF LOVE.
By PEARL RIVERS.


Deep, deep, deep, IT,,
Quickly, so none should know;
She buried her warm love silently
Under the winter snow.
For he had coldly said,
Coldly and carclessly, 5tf'.
tBury your love. OF let it live,
1t is all the same to nlep
She tore it ont Of her heart!
She crushed it within her hand,
It called to him in its agony
For help, but he came not; and
1t struggled within her grasp;
1T fought with her woman's will;
And kneeled to her womau's pride with
tears,
Then silent it lay and still.
She knew that it was not dead,
But she said-it soon viii die,
Buried under tho winter snow,
Under the winter sky.
She kissed it tenderly-
just once, for the long ago
Then shroud'd it with his cold white words;
Colder than all the snow.
Deep, deep, deep
Quickly, so none should know.
She. buried her warm love silently,
Under the winter snow.
And then, with her murderous hands,
She raised up the heavy stone
OfSn.ENcE over her buried love, 80
With heart just rs cold as his own.
She laughed when it all was done!
For Why shOuld woman cry
When love is buried? Ger its grave
Why should o woman sighg
She thought, when she turned away,
Some day he may see this grave, -,
And say, 'The woman thought so weak !!
How strong she was, and brave"

Throb, throb, throb, is7a5 a t,a,
Under the light spring snow.
Buried long, can my love still live ="
Kneeling, she said, when 10!
Her love looked mp at her.
Straight out of daisy's eyes;
Warmed to life by the balmy air,
And the tender azure skies. 4f5

And came to her heart as naturally
As the leaf came to the tree. -.......
Itsighed to her with the breeze, iiH"
1T sang to her with the birds;
And every note was an echo sweet
OF his olden loving words. a.a is. ~.
And bowling her head, she wept--
Wept DER her risen love;
And touching her harp strings. sad and low,
She told her grief to the dove.
why should you live, poor love, q,
Sighted and scorned, and sore, iga
To trail your pain. through my tender
breast, 80. ,, ls4,..-, ~.
And poison my young hearts core2"
Alas! when a woman loves,
Her strength is too small and slight
To dig grave that is deep enough
To bury it ont of sight.
