Who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else to love me,
And Is now a saint in heaven.

Comes that messenger divine,
Takes the vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand in mine.

Looking downward from the skies.

Breathing from her lips of air.

themselves in front thereof. Yesterday
Mr.. Augustine, Superintendent OF Regis

deep in political discussion, and ordered
drink. Mr. King, who was behind the
