PASSING OVER.
BY PHILIP LEE.

Friend after friend over Jordan is crossing,
Swept from my gaze by deaths cOld' chilling
tide;
Cheered by the hope, on the rough bilIOw'
tossing,
Safely 10 land on the heaydnly side.
The summons came first TO a well-beloved sister
When buds were beginning to burst in the
boughs
Oh, well remember how fondly kissed her,
AS death placed his sgnet upon her white
brow
Mex, followed friend loved ever since child
hood
\ merry playmate in the long ago time,
How often we've wandered, in meadow and
wildwood
Death called him away in life's vigorous prime.
The next that was called was a sweet little
brother,
In childhoods gay hours but sadder than all,
One bright Summer evening there came for my
mother
Beyond the dark, billowy river a call.
knelt by her bedside as, dying, she blest me,
Her white trembling hand fondly placed on
my head
Those dear, blessed hands how oft they've
caressed me,
But now they lie mouldering away with the
dead
With all my hearts worship I loved a young
maiden
As fair aud as lovely as orient day
But message came for her on seraph wings
laden,
And Maggie by angels was carried away.
The last of my friends shall cease to remem-
Der?
My father, the last to leave earths dreary
shore
I'll never forget that dark night in September
When Death care and stood by the white
cottage door.
Oh, Lord am waiting beside the dark river,
Already its water my aged feet lave;
Dear Parent in Heaven, of all good the gNer,
Be thou my support through its Omnious
wave.

The cure OF sleeples,ness, however. is
not so sy, particularly in those who
carry grave responsibilities. The habit
of sleeping well Is one which, II broken
up for any length Of time. is not easily re-
gained. Often a severe Ill, ess, treated
