The Dead Child.

The child is dead All night long
we listened to its dying moans Just as
the day daSael its clear eyes closed in
death, aud It's pure spirit went back to
the God that gave il. IL is ours no
more GA earth /; its voice is silent ia our
household, aud the power Of its little
feet makes music around our household
no longer All its hard to feel that
our little dltling has gone from our
hesrts iorever-gone to the grave, with
It's hand folded ca its icy bosom, aud It's
face covered up from the balmy air and
the rzrm sunshine it loved so much :;
but | will not weep. IL is the Lords !;
He has taken it home TO live with him
As the mother takes her youngest child,
the pet and darliug of the household
aud carries it in her arms to the upper
room, and lays it down to sleep with
kisses aud blessings, SO God has taken
our little darling aud carried it in His
everlasting arms up to his own home to
live. Aud il is our child still Though
we cannot see its dear face now, or listen
to its playful prattle, it is still our own.
Aud wheu this life is over, we will find
the precious one again, aud fold it to
our hearts forever, in that better,
brighter, home" Where the beautiful
fades not away"

The road along which the man 6f

one, nor does it ordinarily lead through
pleasant Scenes aud by well.springs Of

thorns, and full of pit falls; which can
only be avoided by the watchful care Of
circumspection. After every days

turnpike road, the wayfarer needs some.

Where the loved and long departed
Will renew their gentle care.

As We Thought of me when living.

Oh, might have done so much
That Is now without token;
Oh, might have learned to touch
Tender chord, that now are broken;
And a winsome smile or word
In its fitness might have stirred
Hopes that now cannot be spoken.
DO not blame me that my life
In its passage grew so dreAry;
DAYS there we're, above the strife,
When the spangtide made il CHEEKY;
Aud my weakness, not my sin,
Made IL seem SO dark within;
Let me rest, for am weary.

When my sight is growing din,
