THE EMPTY CHAIR.

1t is lonely by the hearthstone,
When the loved ones gather there,
And look with mournfuI sadness,
On my mothers empty chair.
Her pale, wthered lips last autumn,
With a farewell kiss pressed,
And before the May flower blossomed,
They had laid her down to rest.
She had served her loving Saviour,
Till her mission all was done,
But her dying lips prayed family
For her sick and absent son.
She looks not from the window
She comes not to the door,
To greet my coming footsteps,
AS she did in days of yore
1pass into my early home,
But do not see her there,
And my tear-dimmed eyes rest sadly
On that empty, vacant chair,
As our broken circle gathers
Round the table day by day,
That lone, vacant chair reminds us
or the dear one far away.
on listen for the accents
OF that voice SO sweet and low,
But know it sings with seraphs,
Where the silver wavelets flow.
Now she wears n crown of glory,
On that blissful, golden shore:
May meet thee sainted mother,
To be parted nevermore.
