THE OLD CHURCH BELL.
Br DENNIS F. IDEALLY.

stand again by the old church door,
A wandrer from the sea,
And scan the faces as they pass,
But all are strange to me.
Unknown cen in my chlldhood's homs
Grief seems SO hard to bear
And how the heart wells up its throbs,
As that sound fills the air:
The old church bell-the sound Iknow,
That tells meiot the long ago,
The tone the same as when played
In thoughtless hours of youth,
Or wheniI hasteI ed at its call
To meet the blte-eyed Ruth;
And on that day, when in grave
buried "nll held DEAR
And left the scene still in my heart,
It's lSnell still in my ear.
The old o ur bell, 1t toll d the kneu.
When | bid love and homo farewell.
A few short days, and meath the sod
BY strange hands Ill be laid;
No friendly tears. no fond regrets,
No earnest prayers be said.
As falls the clod, I'd have that bell,
Toll out It's voice for me
For me, as now it brings the past
Back from eternity.
The old church bell, whose voice alone,
To me speaks OF the loved and gone.

A tired woman hushed to sleep her babe.
Beauty once made her face radiant, per-
haps, but all that beauty is gone now. The
blue eye is dim and faded-the pale brow is
covered with lines Of care. Perhaps with
that far off look of hers, she sees little graves,
green with many summers. Her home is
very humble-all day she has toiled, and the
fainting spirit almost surrenders to fatigue,
the down-cast eyes trembling with tears--she
is so wcary-and every nerve tingles when
these boys come hungry from school, some
with tale of sorrow that mother must hear.
And after they were hushed with kisses or
chidings, it is time to get supper for seven
hungry mouths, and the accustomed never end
ing of putting away and cleaning up, till the
worn-out creature wonders with a sigh if
there really will come rest for her--an
eternal rest.
At last she can seat her weary limbs in
the corner rocking chair. The babe, whose
eyes close 6tfully to low lullaby, lies in her
fathers lap. lie is plain man, that good
father, with an honest face and great heart,
that would take in all the care and sorrow Of
the household.
The babe sleeps. With a rude gentleness
he lays it on its mothers bosom, and as the
ruddy fre-light plays over the care worn fea-
lures, he looks upon her with eyes suddenly
grown lustrous and beautiful lie lifts his
great hand softly till it rests on her shoulders,
as he says
81 love you, dear Mary"
How the poor heart leaps into love, light
and rest. How vanish the cares that trod
upon her weary soul ! She no more remem.
bers the toilsome washing. She reflects not
now that the pretty babe with flushing cheeks
against her breast has worn her patience
threadbare with constant tears and unrest.
She forgets that the fire would smoke, the
broth burn, and the children tease her. that
the clothes line broke, and that every limb Of
her frame ached with fatigue.
What were those in comparison with the
steadfast love that had burned for eighteen
years, in the sunlight Of happiness, through
the clouds of despair, when beauty made her
winning, and when her charms of loveliness
had gone and freshness of youth departed for
eyer2 What cared she for aught outside her
home, though she had many sorrows, while
such words thrilled her whole being.
| love you, dear Mary !"

But, blessings on the rain
Freshness and beauty come In It's train
And though the drops fall,
Glory and sunshine do follow them all.

Most dull and gray, with no promise Of cheer.
Silence and gloom are Ia their train
And the wind moans wcary

On whose breast n storm sits brooding
And through all ones brain

What life but bath its toarsi So sweoter made!

Shining far Oh, II may bc--but still shining,
