AM DYING.

The following beautiful poem IS taken from the
Iemphis B,tNetin It is rarely we ind such con-
.ibutions to the columns of newspaper. 1t Is
weelly, beautifully sad
Raise my pillow, husband dearest
Faint and fainter GENES my breath.
And these shadows stealing slowly,
Must, know, be those of death.
Sit down close beside me, darling,
Let me clasp your warm strong hand,
Yours that ever has sustained me
To the borders Of this land.
For your God and mine.-our Father
Thence shall ever lead me Oh,
Where upon throne eternal,
Sits his loved and only Son.
I've had visions and been dreaming
Der the past of joy and pain;
Year by year I've wandered backward,
Till was child again.
Dreams of girlhood, and the m oment
When. stood your wife and bride
How my heart thrilld with Loves triumph
In that hour of woman's pride.
Dreams of thee and all the earth-chords
Firmly twined about my heart
Oh the bitter, burning anguish,
When first knew We must part.
1t has past-and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend;
He that's more than friend or brother,
He'll be with you to the end.
There's TO shadow Ger the portal
Leading to my heavenly home
Christ has promised life immortal,
And 'tis He that bids me come.
When life's trials wait around thee,
And its chilling billows swell,
Thou'lt thank Heaven that I'm spared them,
Thoult then feel that call is well"
Bring our boys unto my bedside;
My last blessing let them keep
But they are sleepng-do not wake them
They'll learn soon enough to weep.
Tell them often of their mother,
Kiss them for me when they wake;.
Lead them gently in life's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer, darling,
This, the last night of my lie,
For to morrow shall never
Answer, when you call me '"wife."
Fare thee we'll, my noble husband,
Faint not meath the chast'ning rod;
Throw your strong arm round our children;
Keep them close to thee-aud God |!

puffed and puffed and puffcd till in a little
while the stage coach was full of strong
fumes and the woman grew very sick.
She asked her husband to raise the win
dow, and still unable to bear the smoke
told him she must lean upon his lap.
"The husband leaned over and said to
the big man:
"'My wife is sick. Please do not smoke
by her side."
"Tbe big man smoked like a blast
chimney and paid no heed whatever.
The woman grew fainter and coughed
NY blood was boiling, but l knew the
man could double me up and throw me
out of the window.
"SuddenIy the little being at my side
leaned forward, pulled u long bowie-knife
out Of his coat collar, and said to the
smoking giant:
eyes, you ID son of a pussy cat on
the female side l am james Bowie.
Throw away that cigar, or I'll split you
into half apples !'
The man," concluded Mr. Clay.
"dropped the cigar like an automaton,
and we had not word spoken for thirty
minutes"
