THE SONG or EYE TO GAIN.

Or rest, my baby, rest
The dav
Is glowing in the west
Nowi tired of sunny play,
Upon thy mothers breast
Oh rest, my darling, rest
Thon frst-born son of man,
III thee
New iny for us began.
Which seemed all dead TO be,
When that so needfn ban
From Eden exiled man.
Bnt more than Paradise
Was orr,
When thou with angel eyes,
Amid our blighted flowers,
Vast born, a heavenly prize
Unknown III Paradise,
sty happy garden thou.
Where
Make many T. hopeful vow,
And every hour espy
New bloom on each young Dough
Ny sinleSs tree art thou.
/ fearless reap thy frnit
ofbliss;
Aud I, VINO am thy root,
Am too the air, to kiss
rho CLEANS that DER thee shoot;
And, fed, feed thy fruit.
Thy fathers form, and pride,
And thought,
In thee yet nndescribed.
Shall soon be fully wrought,
Grow tall, and bright, and vide.
In thee our hope and pride.
10 us orr sin has borne
its doom.
From light dethroncd and torn,
Twas ours to dwell in gloom;
But thou, a better morn,
By that dark night art borne
y My bird, my flower, my star,
My boy
Ny all things fair that arei
My spring of endless Joy,
From thee is heaven not far
j From thee. its earthly star.
So, darling, shalt thou grow
A man,
While we shall downward go--
Descend each day . span,
And sink beneath the woe
of deaths from sin that grow
And thou, perhaps, shall see
4 race,
Brnuriit forth by us, like thee;
Though strength like thine, and grace,
Ia none shall ever bs,
OF all whom earth shall ever see.
Then rest, my child; oh, rest
The day
Hts darkend down the west.
Thou dream tho night away
Upon thy nnthers breast,
Tn. rest, my darling, rest

THE FoRsAKEN.

II hath been said-tor all who die
There is tear;
Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh
Ger every bier
But in that hour of pain and dread
Who viii drew near,
Around ny humble ennch. aud shed
One farewell tear!
Who'll watch my llfe's departing ray,
In deep despair
And sooth my spirit on its way
With holy prtyer2
What uYourner round ms bier will come
In weeds of woe"
And follow me TO my long home,
Silent and slowf
When lying on my clayey bed
In icy sleep,
Who there, by pure affection led.
Will come and weep;
b. the pale moon iinpiant the rose
Upon my breast,
nd bid ii cheer my dark repoSe-
Ny Lowry rests
Gould hnt know where au sleeping
Low in the ground,
One faithful heart would there be keeping
Watch all night round
As if some gem lay shrined beneath
That sod's cold gloom,
Twould mitigate the pangs of death
And light the tomb.
Yes, in that hour if I conld feel
From halls of gtee
Aud bealty's presence one wonla steal
In secrecy,
And como and sit and weep by me
IN nights leep noon--
Jh II would ask of memory
No other boon.
Sut ali a 1oneier fate is mine
A deeper woe;
From, all love IN youths sweet time
snoa must GO
Draw round me my old robes of white
In dark spot,
To sleep thro' deaths long draanlless night
Lone and forgot.

STRANGE SUPERSTITION IN BERKSHIRE CoUN-
TI, MAsS.-A correspondent of the Great Bar
rington Courier reports this strange case of
superstition and delusion in southern Berk-
shire:
In the southern part of the town of New
Narlbro', near the Connecticut line, lives
family by the name of F. 1t seems that
this family are predisposed TO consumption.
About the LIST of January one of the family
Emily, girl eighteen years old-died of this
disease, and was buried ut Cornwall Hollow,
Conn. The mother and a brother Charles,
and sister, Eliza, remained. Charles is now
fast wasting away With the same disease.
During the Summer man by the name Of
Case, who lives in town TO the east, WAS i'll
this section hiring cattle pastured. He met
this family of r, and told them some aw-
ful stories of how persons nearly dead with
consumption had been cured 10y digging up
some relative who had died with the same
disease, taking out the liver. lungs and heart
etc, where fresh blood would he found and
burning them; after this the sick ones would
improve until health was restored. The rea-
son assigned was that there was II vital cur
rent existing between the living and the dead
that those organs in the dead body that con-
tanned fresh blood and appeared to be
alive, would continue to live until
the vitality of the living subject was ex-
hausted, unless said organs were taken out
and consumed by fire. Eliza heard and be-
heved these stories, and if they ever appeared
absurd they soon became facts to her. Dr.
5, of an adjoining town, was importuned
to do the dissecting-no rest could be obtain
ed until the thing had been accomplished
Strange, the doctor consented. On the 10th
of last August the doctor and half dozen
friends dug up the body of Emily, cut out the
liver anda portion of the lungs, took them some
distance from the grave and burned them
The heart and portion of the lungs were
found decayed-thnt portion of the lungs
supposed to be diseased and destroyed be-
fore her death-and fresh blood was found in
the liver, enough to thoroughly besmear the
doctors hands. These are facts, and they
say Charless health has begun to improve.
