{" HE AND sHE.o

A lady sends to us the following BY an I'M
known writer, rs having a singular appropriate
ness to the death Of Mrs. Maggie Beck Corcora7.
who is buried to-day in the bridal costume
she wore on her happy marriage, less than ore
month ago:
g She Is DEAD. they said to him, "Come away"
Kiss her and leave her, thy love is clay!"
They smcothed her TIC sses OF dark brown hair;
On her forehead OF stone they laid it lair;
Over her eyes, which gszed too much.
ihey Grew the lids with gentle touch;
With a tender touch they closed up we'll
The sweet. thin lips that had secrets to tell;
About her brows aud beautiful face
They tied her veil and her marriage lace.
And drew on her white feet her white silk shoes,
Which were the whitest, no eye conld choose.
And over her bosom they crossed her bands
. Come away" they said, " God understand"
And there WIS silence. and no; hing there
But silence, and scents of eglaRtier-
And iessamire, and roses. and rosemary,
And they said ''As a Lady should lie, lies She
And they held their breath as they lea the room
win shudder, to glance at les stiffness aud
gloom.
But he who loved her too well to dread
The sweet, the stately, the beautiful dead:
He lit his lamp, and took the kew
And turred it-alone again-he and she.
He and she; but she would not speak
Tho he kissed, in the old place, the quiet cheek
He and she; yet she would not smile.
Tho he called her the name she loved erewhilc
he and she; still she did not move
To any one passionate whisper OF love.
Then re said; Cold Ii $ and breast without
Is there no voice, no language of deathp
" Dumb to the ear and still to the sense.
But 10 heart and TO soul distinct, intense?
"See now; will listen with soul, not ear:
What WIS the cecres o. dying, dear?
WAS it the infinite wonder of all
That you ever could let llfe's flower fall?
4" OR was it greater marvel to feel
The perfect calm Ger the agony steal?
Was the miracle greater to find how deep
Beyond all dreams, sank downward that sleep
"Did life roll back IFS record, dear,
And show, as they say 1t does, past things clear
" And was 1t the inpermost heart of the bliss
To find out 60, what wisdom love is?
" o perfect dead! o dead, most dear,
hold the breath Of my soul to hear.
" 1 listen as deep as to horrible hell,
And high as to heaven: and you do not tell
There must be pleasure in dying sweet.
To make you so placidfr head to feet
81 world tell you, darling, if I were dead,
And twere your hot tears upon my brow shed
81 would say, though the Angel of death has laid
His sword on my lips to keep il unsaid,
"You should not ask vainly with stVea ming ewes
Which OF al deaths was the choicest surprise
"The very strangest and suddenest thing
OF all the supplies that dying must bring"
All, foolish world oh, most kind dead
Though he told me, who will believe it was sadc
Who will believe what he heard her saw,
With the sweet, SOFT voice, in the dear old way
And zee you, and love you, and kiss you, dear .
''And am your angel. who was your bride,
And Know that though dead, L have never died,
