THE UNBOLTED DOOR.


An aged widow sat Alone s9
Beside her narrow hearth;
Her silent cottage never heard
The ringing laugh of mirth.
Six children once had aported there; but now the
churchyard
Fell softly ON five little graves that were not long
.xzt- ago. e, -s-es-a $50 -..
She mournei them all with patient love;
But since her eyes had shed
Far bitterer tears than those which dewed
The faces of the dead. &
The child which had been spared to her, her
darling and her pride,
The woful mother lived to wish that she had also
- died.
These little ones beneath the snow.
Not lost. but gone before.
Faith taught her all was well with them,
And then the pang was DER;
But, when she thought where Katy was, she saw
the city's glare,
The painted mask Of bitter joy which Need gives
SIN to wear.
Without the snow was thick and white,
No step had fallen there;
Within she sat beside the fire,
Each thou yht silent prayer
When suddenly, behind her seat, unwonted noise
she heard,
As though hesitating hand the rustic latch had
stirred.
She turned, and there the wanderer stood,
With snow flakes in her hair
A faded woman, wild and worn,
The ghost of something fair.
And then upon the mothers cheek the withered
brow was laid
Can God and you forgive me all? for have SIM
ned she said.
The widow dropped upon her knees
BE ore the fading fire,
And thanked the Lord. whose loving hand
Had granted her desire.
The daughter kneeled beside her too. tears
streaming from Ter eyes,
And prayed, 'God help me to be good to mother
she dies
They did not talk about the sin,
The shame, the bitter woe;
They spoke about those little graves
And things of long ago.
A:d then the daughter raised her eyes and said
in tender tone,
Why did you keen your door unbarred, when
you quite alone? ~
NV child" the widow said, and smiled,
smile of love and pain,
Il kcptit so, lest you should come.
nd turn away again
I've waited tor on All the while-s mothers
love is true;
Yet it is but the shadowy type of Has pho d ieo
